My driving Learner, Ford F- nothing ,Power nothing ,straight 6 300ci (IMO best ever), three on the tree and hand painted brown and tan. I can tell I need to re-learn some things. Steering and brakes to start. I need a Jack Lalanne video. Been spoiled by power steering ,power brakes ,AC etc. Brakes just diff , short learning curve like SUV and trk . Steering can pretty much wear me out, power option in budget for later. QUESTION ; Spinner option for now? OH, got reminder of non-power steering grip , opposable thumbs stay on rim outside wheel! QUIZ!!! 20220315 142150 resized20220315 142138 resized

Add the power steering, you won't regret it. Helped a buddy do the install on a P7, took 3 hours, spent half of the time consuming adult beverages. Second set of hands is handy.

  1. Talon R
I had the same bad habit, caught myself on video and was having a hard time remembering to keep my thumbs out of the line of fire - to the point I taped a Post It to the ROPS above my forehead as a reminder. Yesterday was the first time I didn't catch myself making that mistake, over and over. Hopefully it's becoming a habit. Although the PS on my Talon doesn't kickback, it's a good habit to be in for off road driving.

Another according driving situation20220316 160532 resized, Secure in cab items. This smacking head/face at my present speeds not good. Other heavier items at high speed risk serious injury. Guess this would also apply to bed items. Not to mention losing them
