    Not all cops know bikes...

    I was getting tired of people telling me that one of my lights wad burned out, besides I like having two lights on. Most of the time I ride with my highs on anyhow, so when opproaching cagers flash their highs at me I just wave back and say to myself atleast they see me. Doc

    Curse you, oil filter!

    Easy fix to your problem. I have one of those oil filter cap wrenches the one that fits over the filter. I had one heck of a time getting the filter off it just kept slipping, so I took a 5/16 inch self drilling screw and drilled it through the cap and filter. Then just backed the filter off...

    battery access

    I've gone the battery tender route, it's easy to install and keeps the batt charged all the time. Battery access is easy. Just take out the top two tank bolts, take out the tank hinge bolt. Carefully slide the seat back to clear the faring, lift the seat up (not too far as to pull out your hose...

    BD-43 headlight mod alternative

    That was a real good idea, but just go for it and pull the connector block apart, then insert the wire harness as described in BD's instructions. After it's all done it's really not that hard. :cheer: Doc

    moto slang

    The police would be the po po. I have heard a helmet called a brain bucket or a skid lid. I have not read all the replies but a cager would be a car. Doc

    should I switch to Synthetic oil?

    I use a Synthetic and my engine runs 1 bar cooler than it did with Yamalube. I tried other brands of a synthetic oil and still went back to mama (Amsoil). For me it works the best, it is more expensive but just like that hair color commerical my bike is worth it. Doc

    Interpret This Sign

    Scince you can lane split in CA, it would be a good idea that the cagers look 2x before a lane change. Doc

    Heated gear

    Go with Gerbings, you might have to watch power consumption at lower speeds. In town at a stop light I take my foot off the brake to save a little power. I belive the liner draws about 77 watts so there isn't much to spare. But it's really nice to go for a ride and feel heat. Doc

    GPS theft

    I have a used Garmin Street Pilot that I just got. I was just wondering if my unit was ever stolen, if they could not track it could they kill it by not letting your serial # recive a signal, so it would be useless. Just a thought. Doc

    how do you stop yourself from lusting other bikes?

    I don't, lusting after another bike is not a sin. So I guess I'm a luster in the first degree. I have also commited adultry when I rode my son's 1200S BMW, and it felt real goood.:cheer: Doc
