SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Using Candy is a good tip. Ghost flames don't need a sharp edge, I like em when they are just a hint behind the main color. If someone is doing a double take, they're perfect.
