With Avion, I bought there $150 a bottle stuff and didn't like it near as much as their $60 offering -- even their $49 bottle is better than the Avion 44. The most expensive bottle I've had was a $120 plus bottle of DJ but I preferred the Reposado. I can get that in Mexico for around $23. Have a relative who works directly for the owner of Patron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickD Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Going to Mexico next month. My wife still enjoys a good shot. Lately the only shot I get to have comes with a sharp tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live at a lake, when I first moved here hunters were allowed to shoot them. Over time many more houses were built and the deer are over populated. Have to be careful driving a car. One of our dogs chased an older doe down and knock it over. He was sure proud of himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley Motorcycles have a Character , this one is definitely a Boulevard bike for acceleration , you dont ride this bike for a very long time , to ride long ways , you need floorboards and higher , wider , handlebars - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See a ram-air intake below the tank? My MT-10 has "Ram Air" on both sides of the tank. Both fake. As is the gas tank. Tank is more like a gas can buried under metal and plastic. Bike is a ***** to work on. My BMW is the opposite, easy to maintain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick grab off the 'net for example. Ours was similar but not an RB kit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
