I'll second that. Whenever I yearn for a new bike, I can never think of anything that I do that my Atlantis can't handle (granted, my demands are not great). So a new bike would be redundant.
BTW, Clayton, there's a list member in Canada who often posts photos from his snow camping S240s on his Atlantis. So snow shouldn't be an impediment. Easy for me to say; I've never lived with the stuff. dougP On Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at 4:55:48 AM UTC-8, RichS wrote: > > Clayton, bravo to you!
