Congratulations to all PT Owners

It's been over thirty years since I was around those Deutzes, but I may have erred in calling them air cooled. They may have been oil cooled or a combination. The memory ain't what it used to be--as my wife keeps reminding me /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

<font color="blue">... at full chat ...</font>

That brought a smile. I haven't heard or read that term in years. It is one of my favorite expressions.

No. It was standing still while they were scratching their heads as to how to get into a big planter in a corner with 2' high walls. I would have liked to hear it running.

Oh come on, the reason you use red is because it's the first color, it woulda been green, you'd be posting in <font color="green">green </font>

I like black because it's the default color, otherwise i'd be posting in what ever the default color is. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

What we have here are attempts to communicate our various, often contrasting, opinions in a clear opinionated ("Holding stubbornly and often unreasonably to one's own opinions.") manner rather than some mushy PC 'IMHO' bologna!!

When I read a post with the words 'IMHO', 'maybe', 'perhaps', 'might', 'could', or 'should', I discount that information as being from someone who hasn't even convinced himself yet!! </font>

<font color="red"> I do not know how much more torque is available at the wheels of a PT-1430, but I do know that the PT-1430 weighs about twice as much as a PT-425, and would, therefore, require about twice the torque at its wheels for similar climbing performance!!

I was wondering how the 1430 compared to the 425 in the noise department.

Would you please repeat that?

It's called qualifying a statement, and it's an indicator that the poster realizes he can't possibly have all the facts that apply in the situation, since he can't crawl inside the questioner's head, and he isn't at the other person's property.

IMHO, it's a sign of maturity.

Perhaps.
