    He put that in there the first time without GOAL. The next 30 minutes were spent inching it closer. He finally said "you want the #### or not?" That's good driver we can get it from there... and he was not an inch closer that he had been lol

    I would be OK!! I remember telling my kids to get the hell off the computer and get you donkey outside!! There answer...I don't know where my friends are nobody is texting?!? Really?!!! We always rode our bikes around until we found everyone else's bikes piled up somewhere and bingo there's your friends! To the OP...And as far as the 90° ...hell they took parallel parking off the Maryland driving test maybe the 90 will go next... seems useless to most! But keep at it you'll get it!!

    I try to 90 into most spots if I can't set up for a straight back. My trainer made me 90 for 5+ stops a day for almost a month straight, even when a straight back or pull through was available. It's second nature now. Give me a wide open dock and 40 acres though, #### me, I really represent for that Swift logo on my trailer. I need some long nose Petes with their owners standing right there by the bumper waiting for me to take it off, and a bunch of people talking #### on the CB or I can't focus apparently lol
