    Got a lift best money spent!

    Please post a update on the Harbor Freight lift when you've had the Tenere on it. I am not sure I would trust any HF tool that could kill me if it malfunctioned. But I love the price.

    Heated Gear Just Rocks!

    I think Warm & Safe is the best heated gear on the market. I have gloves, jacket, pants & socks. Go over to Advrider for endless reviews of heated gear. Jeff
