yeah, i have 6mm [2 small] + 8 mm [2 big]- all the sets at osh today
(crapman and bondhus) jumped from 6 to 8. no doubt, because they all KNEW i

you are a brave man  riding an mc in this crap. i cant believe how
incompetent people are here when it comes to driving in the rain. and dont
even get me started on the unmitigated stupidity i see during my tahoe
trips.
