Pine lake is beautiful because it is a non motorized lake. I would actually swim in pine lake.

The hail storm ruined the trees around the lake but it gives you a better view of the sun bathers in the middle of summer on the beach!

No, I am not a welder, all tho I think I could fake it if I had too.

I am also not a HarDley fan. But, I hope this little story is true, for the town's sake. It just doesn't sound like a very likey thing in my head. This is the first I have heard of it.

An old racin buddy of mine has a cabin at Pine Lake. I have been looking for a reason to stop by and have a few sour colas. Maybe we can make a trip of it.

I did grab food from HyVee. And no, I haven't checked out the show. It's the same company, so I already know what's there. I'll let the freeloaders grab free lunch

Thanks!

Mine are Medium, and I feel that they fit like a Medium glove should. Send them an e-mail, note that you heard of them from ADV, and ask if they have any specials. They might cut you a deal. Great people to deal with.

My gloves are the touring gloves that have the waterproof liner but not the carbon fiber bits. I've used them in the rain, and they really are pretty waterproof.

Good luck.

Let's go ridin' sometime.
