******************************************

This morning, while riding, I went around a corner, reasonably fast,
and the damn engine sputtered.
I looked down and I was running on fumes.
So, I guess I do need that "stupid" low fuel light to remind me to put gas in the tank.

*************************************


I miss being able to unscrew the gascap
and look inside to see the level of the fuel remaining.

Now there is some kinda splashgaurd I guess it is.

I came home and connected the wire from the fuel guage to the "E" on the Diamond Digital so that it will come on when I am low on fuel - "E" for empty.

jmpancoast - take note......................

I am considering the removal of my gas gauge for fitment of an ignition switch. If I do this, I will definitely hook out the low fuel light so I will have that to use in conjunction with the trip odometer.

DWGMan - there is a pretty big learning curve with the iPhone (at least for me - about two weeks) but having basically a laptop and a phone in my pocket is worth it. Now if I could just figure out women, my life would be perfect.

Women are easy to figure out. There is no way to ever understand them and always expect the unexpected.

I've been married to the same woman for 34 years...........and this is what I learned
"I" have to do exactly what she says, and in return, "I" know "SHE" will do the total opposite of what "I" ask.
So, I'm REAL careful how I ask her something! Reverse psychology. It's still a work in progress and once in a while it actually works! LOL

Saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said "We do math everyday"


In school I could not grasp algebra. Oddly enough I have never ran out of fuel.
