Human Nature......Facts according to Bob...

[Yea it's still raining]

Better tires for riding in the rain, And brighter lights for driving at night only work better if you drive at the same speeds as you did with the old tires and old lights....

IE; Better tires make you feel more confident in the rain so you drive faster and hit that puddle harder...

Better lights help you see further down the road so you can drive faster, And wack that deer harder.... ...

Its like Webster's Definition of Four wheel drive ;

Four wheel drive means you'll just need a longer cable or rope to pull you out when you go get stuck'...... Than if you only had Two wheel drive and got stuck............
