  5. good for flying lessons too...btw thanks Nascar for finding the GPS that wanted to fly away - if we were still in season this would've earned you 2 points at least!

  6. Wait a minute: was it even more frightening than the Portail de Fully? Did Missile made all the way? Dopey, do you try to teach us how to fly with our bikes? No wonder that the views were unbelievable!
