:ohmy: Why??


I don't want water getting on my new king pins. ;)


Ahhh the age old "new king pin" excuse :laugh:


Yup a fine weather driver. ;) TBH Alex I wanted it to be used in winter for the snow and ice and on fields but I have come to the unhappy conclusion that the front CV joints are so completely not waterproof that I'll just have to keep using the Mitsy in the winter.
