yeah, it was just a thought.

todd, yeah maybe sometime this week we can meet up after work and switch bikes so we can see if and what the difference between the two is. but yeah, kelly is right... it should be easier, not trickier, to start from a stop. i can also give you a hand sticking the snorkel back in if you want. going to pm you again.
