I have to admire the tenacity and strong determination of humanity and it's ability to adapt when the chips are down.Hmm ya, definitely not over-privileged. Nice.
May the road rise to meet them and the wind be always at their backs.

We might consider a Kia Soul. Mel, I looked at the Soul also and one of the things I remember is that the Soul didn't have a "full sized" tire for a spare. In fact, and I could be mistaken, it didn't have a spare tire of any kind but was supposed to have a tire repair kit or something. I ...

Some new offerings from HD will be available in 2021. But still no revival of their famous "Topper" scooter from days of yore (with updated technology of course). I'd certainly check one out. I wish them luck but am not so sure that these are the product offerings that will help restore th...
