    RN> What?  And have me try to ride around with no balance in the rain?   
      
    RW> It's a low rider, so you can drag your feet and keep your balance.    
      
   A thoughtful suggestion.  (-:

   Well, I used to work for the man and unless he had a lobotomy, I would not   
   work for him again.  You should get to meet him because the N.O. Saints have a   
   bye that weekend.  Good luck!  (-:
