Select a nice stiff hill with a mean kink at the bottom of it-that makes it impossible for you to take a run at it Start in at the bottom from scratch. No tricks no stunts merely go through your gears and when you go over the top, a glance at your speed ometer will tell the story. No sales talk, no advertisement can ever refute that heartless little indicator. Speed ometers don't lie. . and if you will listen to them they will sell you a Premier.
