Wheeling:
Steve wheels all over Colorado and Utah and managed to lay it over in
both states. Steve felt the pain of fuel injection when he layed it over
on Independence and the engine did not stall dragging him for another foot
or so on the side. Later it layed it over on Rusty Nail to entertain the
crowd.
