Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Get smooth first.

Default Ditto: You're wasting energy if you break it loose. Keep it on the edge, smooth, and...

take the fastest, not shortest, route. That often means the largest curve through, and then trying to straighten the twisities.

Check the www.soloatlanta.com website: some good advice there.<ul><li><a href="http://www.soloatlanta.com">Solo Atlanta</a></li></ul>

Default What, tell me more, I'm in Savannah. I gotta get the TT going again.....

Went out, took the battery charger, cranked it up and it sounded so smooth, so sweet, but will not hold a charge or put a charge in the battery. I gotta get this thing going ASAP.

Default didn't realize you were in Savannah!

I'm probably going to be down there in a few weeks (just for a day). it would be fun to grab a cup of coffee and chat for a bit if you'll be around.
