FEW Posted May 27, 2014 #1 Posted May 27, 2014 So I went on a morning ride through the country side this past weekend. I'd had the cruise on because I seem to fight numbness in my right hand. Was only going around 40mph, and as I was coming to a right hand curve I went to put my hand on the gas when the bike just died. Took only a second or two when I realized I'd hit the kill switch. I turned it back on as I finished the turn and it came back to life with a loud "BANG". Sounded like a gun went off. Well there was a guy, with his back to me along the road, strapping down his 4 wheeler as I went by. I did see him jump out of his skin. Not sure who was more surpised, him or me. Anyway, it was a good laugh for the morning.

Black Owl Posted May 27, 2014 #4 Posted May 27, 2014 Back before I became the sweet, loveable, law abiding gentleman that I am today, used to do hat with my old HD while going through tunnels and overpasses. Used to get quite a jump out of folks till I blew he muffler off the bike. Found out the boys in blue didn't think it was as funny as I did..
MikeWa Posted May 27, 2014 #5 Posted May 27, 2014 I took a dremel and removed 1/8 inch of red plastic from the kill switch. Rounded the edges with a file. No more inadvertent bumps. Mike
