    Finally, have some time to take the X out for a spin this coming weekend. just the spot to try. Somewhere around 50 acres of farm land was being sold, or now has been sold. As no crops were planted this year. A street with sewage line put right thru the property. An old house many many moons...

    Question for you Legend owners that also happen to own a Sovereign or Excal
