Thank you all for taking time to respond. There is so much to absorb and sort out. If you have more to share, and want to, I'm reading every word and doing my studying.
Oooooooo, I just thought of something! I'll have to store it, and can't at my house, and it won't fit in a regular garage. Storage will be outdoors, not even under roof ::sigh:: - what do you folks (that have to store outside) do? What type of cover? What about protecting the tires from UVA/UVB rays. Do the 'special' covers advertised really work?
(I love this place!
