The main reason to get the expensive ones is because you can't get a 12 paddle or more in the cheapies.

On a bike, watch the mud flap clearance...on the hundy I have to use a "sock" as the paddle EATS the flap...

Funny how shock covers are made for quads but not bikes. I could use a new one.

Also bring a shovel. Even if you don't need it, it comes in handy.

my bike is good to go and sitting at Justins, we got $250 of diesel yesterday, filled like 10 5 gal gas cans!
Danielle is taking care of food for us and Justin is preping the chevy right now. High cap trans pan and filter changes.
We will be good to go!
Plus Jason is now getting off work at 12-1am and he was the one we thought we were gonna wait on, so we will probably leave friday morning before the sun even comes up. I'm hoping like 3-4am.
I'm gonna be bringing 15 gallong of 100 octane premix :cool: I have no plan of running out! :wink:
