I'm glad you feel that way Mark, but I don't recall the vertical with the lip.

Naw you won't get busted up.  Just make sure that you ajust that clutch to
where it almost doesn't fully engage.

Funny you should say that.  I am going, but I'm going to spend the $150.  My
wife got a bonus check and told me Merry X-mas.  Isn't she great!  Andy is 
recovering from the stomach virus going around and may not be feeling well
enough to go.  I hope he is now that I am going.  If not I'll just take his
place and give him his $50 deposit back.
