Brent,
The wooden ones are more fun because you never know when thay are going to collapse. Although some of the metal ones that I have ridden didn't seem a whole lot stronger. At least I don't get sick and the guy that I was with last time I was on one was sick the rest of the day.
Mike,
If you can find stuff locally, that is best. But it seems to be getting harder and harder to find anything in this area. All of the good stuff has been picked over and is gone. I did see some kind of MOPAR setting out in a field the other day and I want to go back by there and see what it was. Probably some junky Hemi that the owner will pay me to haul away.
