Then they could be the topic of conversation at our wake. "Why didn't he just get out of the way? Surely he saw it coming." Oh well just gotta get used to the shift method that gets it into gear every time. It gives the bike character. -- 74 CB 450 - Stolen; 74 Z1 900 - Traded; 76 FX 1200 - Stolen; 78 FX(E) 86 CI - Daily rider nice weather; 02 FXDX 88 CI - Daily rider other weather

I tell them my other bike is a shovel and the twinkie hasn't leaked as much oil in years as the shovel can leak in a day so no I don't want it fixed until it's a problem. I park in the same spot at work and home so I know how much it's leaking and it ain't much at all. -- 74 CB 450 - Stolen; 74 Z1 900 - Traded; 76 FX 1200 - Stolen; 78 FX(E) 86 CI - Daily rider nice weather; 02 FXDX 88 CI - Daily rider other weather
