    Didn't mean to imply you, I was talking about others I hear that don't like it. You'll catch on real quick, it's easy. Personally would take a Super 10 over a straight 10 any day.

    And I'll take a 13 any day period. But then I have been known to run in a wee bit steeper mountains than what FL has.

    Just personal preference I guess. But I rather row a straight 10 over a super any day.

    Amen, IMHO the only thing 'Super' about a super 10 is that it makes a super-sized paperweight. The lightning 10 is better (the splitter is an electric switch instead of air), but I would take a straight 10,13, or even (maybe, on a real odd day) a 5 and 3.

    Never shifted a twin stick, looks like fun.

    Never shifted a super 10, but played enough with a 5 speed with two speed rear end to know how it's done.

    Yeah that Volvo sure turns nice doesn't it?

    The "fun" wears off of those twin sticks in a real hurry...

    Yes they do, never really appreciated my '04 VNL till I was back in an FL columbia.
    And fozzy is right, a two stick is neat, for about thirty seconds.
