Re: [DMCForum] stainless thickness

Scott:

Yeah, she does. She's managed to keep an '89 GMC Sierra pickup running 
for some 240,000+ miles, but she needs to overhaul the air conditioning 
system before things get too hot down here. She just got the bike, but 
I'm pretty sure she'll be working on it pretty soon. She's actually a 
mechanical engineer, but she's stuck behind a computer all day when 
she'd rather be turning a wrench. I guess the grass is always greener 
somewhere else! Still, friends like these are hard to find. Of course, 
she makes more money than I do so she's always leaving the country. Go 
figure. LOL
