PT40 vs SP36

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

Royal: You are right about the SP needing more power in the
mountains.....BUT I never had any trouble getting over them BUT all
the PT's passed me..........I love my 90SP36........41,000 mile
cherry! Probably sell it IF I lose many more POKER tourneys..
AUSSIE MILLIONS is on right now.........I just need some luck!!
Regards,
Hank Hannigan In Melbourne,AUS
90SP36 Stored in VEGAS
