    What defines a "Sport"?

    I've noticed that most of the "Sports" channels from my DirectTV satellite are loaded with shows about poker.<br /><br />I like poker. Great way for friends to pass an evening and a few bux. Family tradition has the whole family playing poker for pennies on New Year's Eve until midnight.<br...

    How much can I really tow...

    Serial Description

    Hi, eehni.<br /><br />Welcome to iboats. :) <br /><br />That is the model number, not the serial number.<br /><br />The "T" means it has Tilt & Trim.<br /><br />The "X" means it has an eXtra long (25") shaft.<br /><br />The "A" is a manufacturering run. It is of no use to us.

    Valkyrie adventure (C&P)

    I never dreamed slowly cruising on my motorcycle through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous! Little did I suspect...I was on Brice Street - a very nice neighborhood with perfect lawns and slow traffic. As I passed an oncoming car, a brown, furry missile shot out from...
