    Front turn signal options

    Did you use the pod lights from the 03 R1 on your 08 or did you got with a newer year? Not sure if there are head light cavity differences between the 04-06 to the 07-09.

    Lane Splitting Information

    It is illegal in Illinois. Not that I would ever want to try it with all the farm machinery that can pull out at any time.

    Osama bin laden dead!!!

    I hope not, he is the most pacifist president we have had for a long time. I sure hope he doesn't take credit from where it is due. Good job to all our troops out there.

    The police?

    Only once. I was going to a family reunion 3 hours away when I got behind a semi that was consistently running onto the shoulder and spewing gravel back at me. There was a car that was getting a little close to me in the left lane, so I gunned it to get around the semi. I was going about 90 in a...
