Me, just a mere apprentice in game of life. <br />That said, the reduction may not be what you think it might be. Max has 16" wheels and, to me, feels a lot like a motorcycle except for the seating position and frame. I have ridden the ones with 10" and 12" wheels and the difference is huge.<br /><br />Have a happy new year!<br /><br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-22795332081098852672010-12-29T13:13:44.902-06:002010-12-29T13:13:44.902-06:00Top Gear is one of the best TV shows ever made.

I still smile.<br />BTW, I for the first time saw the British version of "Top Gear" last weekend. What a Hoot! Do you own any of those cars?<br /><br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-2609550228464125532010-12-28T12:23:14.050-06:002010-12-28T12:23:14.050-06:00Sonja,

I really didn't anticipate the fun factor, nor the relationships developed online with bloggers.<br />And thanks for poppin' by.

That said, I still have decreased the amount of gasoline I use. This is important to me. I'm finding as I think of what the future might bring into my life ride wise that this is still important . . . and may present a significant challenge.<br /><br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-42757059366077449292010-12-27T15:25:44.610-06:002010-12-27T15:25:44.610-06:00Dom,
