What about hand singles I know what they mean any one else? And for people in the north what about bumper hitching. I had a slider 8 track player in my 1964 dodge Polaris with the push button automatic transmission and a big block 318. And we're the threads on the right rear tire were righty loosely and lefty tightly.

Is it o.k. if I toss a question in here?
Referring to a regular car, is there such a part called a "stump"?
I've been wondering if a neighbor who talked about this made it up. ?

Yes. Motorcyclists primarily. Bicyclists rarely. Cars never.
