Yep, you're a Floridian for sure - no table manners, how does your wife/girlfriend put up with you.

I lived on the Eastside of Ft. Lauderdale just west of Bay View drive and north of Commercial Blvd for about 22 years before retiring to Maui... believe me, South Florida is better. I miss it every day. Here on Maui if I put over 100 miles on my Sportster I'm going in circles. In fact maybe that's why I am usually dizzy.

Stupid warnings by manufacturers are the result of someone (usually many someones) who didn't have the smarts to figure it out on their own.

More probably the result of company attorneys trying to limit liability. HD has the most **** lawyers in my experience. The warnings and cautions are way out of proportion to other manuals I've read. e.g., my Jeep owners manual.

Most likely because of how many "impulse buyers" Harley has, and the fact that a motorcycle requires more skill to operate than a car.
