    A friend told me last night that 86% of the HD's manufactured since 1991 are still on the road. I thought that was amazing.

    Were some of them expecting to be fed tourists?

    Have a non voice signal for the passenger to indicate they want to stop. Something like tap both sides of the rider's ribs twice.

    After 20 yrs in Canada's infantry, its clear no KNIFE would be needed for such small prey. Thats why we have fingernails and teeth.

    So my cousin calls this morning and says "Lets go to lunch!" It's a beautiful day, I'm not needing much encouragement to get out of the office and on the bike for a bit, so we agree on where to meet. As I pull into the parking lot a red Porche accelerates hard around me and cuts across my front into the parking spot I was aiming for. I stop, watch a dumpy looking little guy in a "Porche" jacket that matches his car perfectly get out and look around. He sees my glare, apparently doesn't want to talk about it, and heads into the restaurant. I find another spot and head inside. As I enter I see Mr. Porche leaning over a table making conversation with a fairly attractive woman. I don't really want to mess him up so I pass by behind him. As I pass the woman looks up and says "Your bike looks like fun! Wanna take me for a ride?" I turn toward her and say "Sure - when?" "Right now!" She pops up, links her arm through mine, and starts for the door. Mr Porche is bristling like a terrier, trying to interrupt. "What about your boyfriend?" I ask. (This is moving rather faster than I had anticipated.) And she smiles happily: "He's not my boyfriend. He's just some jackass that thinks he can pick me up because he has a cute little car." That gets a laugh from a bunch of people at nearby tables. Mr. Porche's beet red face vanishes in the direction of the washroom, and my cousin and I hop on and ride to a different restaurant for lunch...

    Ah - My oops.

    Odd - the web page doesnt list products for Yamaha? Unless I'm missing something

    The simple story is that someone who dies doing something he enjoys is, in fact, dead. Reasonable protective equipment does not seem to interfere with my enjoyment, makes my family feel more at ease, increases my chance of survival if an accident should occur, and so on and so on. Seems to me if I'm going to insist that my 9 yr old daughter wear her helmet when she rides her bicycle, that I should wear my helmet when I ride mine. Just one Newfie's $0.03USD ($0.02CDN adjusted for currency exchange...)

    The driver of a motorcycle who was injured when he went off the road near Grand Falls-Windsor has succumbed to his injuries in hospital. The 56-year-old man from Ontario was taken to hospital June 28, immediately following the crash. He passed away two days later, on June 30, at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s. RCMP in Grand Falls-Windsor are continuing their investigation into what might have caused the driver to leave the road. ------------ Not aware that any name has been released.

    Now thats just silly. The rider is absolutely not in any way responsible, any more than a car driver would be. It is the responsibility of the following motorist to be able to stop safely.

    The problem with this is it confirms to the scammers that the address is valid and being read. This information is in itself valuable as YOUR address can be added to a list of confirmed addresses, which can be sold to other scammers. Advise regulatory agencies of scams, yeah sure. Respond to the sender in any way? Nope, unless you want to risk increasing the amount of junk you receive.

    I'm in St. John's. If we can ID the man I'll see what I can find out.

    Kinda counter-intuitive, but absolutely true. I dropped a gear at all speeds for a couple of tanks bc somenone here suggested it. Went from 38 ish to 44 ish (Imperial Gallons) in town and fairly hilly. These things love to spin and the efficiency point is fairly high on the rpms.

    When did we start having 31 days in June? I must have missed a memo....

    Postal LOCKOUT, not STRIKE will be over by Monday anyway once our Government gets through legislating an end to it. I could comment on the morality of it, but that would be politics, and, in the current Canadian context, pointless.

    I guess I'm old fasioned. Lights fail. Sensors stick. My buddy has a mirror rigged to his sight glass on his 1100. I take a look at the glass every time I check the tire pressure, once every 2-3 days. Don't want to give MaYamaha an excuse if something goes wrong. "The oil level is low - when was the last time you checked it? That's what caused the failure, lack of rider maintenance, so it's your fault - no warranty coverage for you..." For the amount of time it takes, it don't hurt. I pull the dipstick out of the truck and the car occasionally too.

    How much are dealers charging for this? Must be astronomical the get this volume of comment. Anybody got a ballpark #?

    Replaced the stock seat with the Ultimate Seat. No more discomfort. Worth every penny and then some. www.ultimateseats.ca

    After which I'll switch out the V-4 for a V-Twin 950.... :stirthepot:

    Just fill your fuel tank and ride with em til they stop. Then help them pick up all the loose parts... Oh Damn, that was my outdoor voice, wasn't it.

    That's gonna be hard on the scoot... Once the sticky notes blow off you'll be in first gear all the way to Vogel...
