That would be the new for 2000 Scirocco. Very nice, I got a chance to try
one on this past weekend in Albuquerque. The $445 price tag made for a
rapid doffing per Mrs. Dash's instructions.

I agree, but mail-order on the First Gear stuff from various venders usually
runs around $100 less. I`ve found this out with Kilimanjaros.

I have been under the impression that mail ordering
Firstgear stuff is something they (the Firstgear

new stuff available through a mail-order house?

Motorcycle Coasters! Hard plastic 5" diameter...coasters. Local shop gives
them away at checkout. Work great on asphalt, functional for beers too.

dinging his tank against said pole, summer)
