How's this for a wow factor Wade, 2 nights ago I was in SD in a couples garage & there sets 2, yes I said two 79 Liquifire Proto-types & YES I said 79 Liquifire Proto's with some kind of gear reduction direct drive system, so I ask the guy if there for sale & his wife says yes, so I ask how much, she says $500.00ea. so I told them I'd take them both, but right then I had to take a leak, So I woke up & got out of bed & went to the bathroom... :shifty:

Kenny i also had a dream of finding a "dator" in a barn!! So i ask the old man "how much" and he shakes his head and replies "well i think i would have to have 500 for it ?? When i reach down to get my wallet , I realize it is not there !! and then i woke up.. I have had this same dream a few times,now i find myself sleeping with my wallet hoping i will wake up wit a dator in the garage.. :bonk: :pray: oh well it could happen :lol22:

I thought about it several times over in my head an realize my wife has my darn wallet and thats real :wall: :winter:
