I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.Best, Bob Davidson

Using Candy is a good tip. Ghost flames don't need a sharp edge, I like em when they are just a hint behind the main color. If someone is doing a double take, they're perfect.
