The gremlin bell was mounted too high.... won't keep the little buggers off the bike when it is mounted up on the clutch. Everyone knows that....... JK, glad he's OK and probably wiser now (we hope)

Always keep both hands on the bars. Look what happen to Billy in the end of the movies " Easy Rider".

I've done Bike Week at Daytona, including Biketoberfest...done Sturgis, done New Mexico, done bike week in Galveston, and BBBBQ in Arkansas....

don't do rallies anymore. I don't fear any road or any curve, but I damn sure fear the F***ing dumbasses that may be coming around the bend...
