Default Do I have a problem?

Pulled the bike out just to listen to it run. When I put it up I burnt my pants on the exhaust. Well at least I have something to do now. I can search the site on how to best clean up black jogging pants off my pipes.

Try some easy-off oven cleaner. Get the pipes hot first,spray on ,wipe off.

Lesson: Jogging pants and Harleys do not go together.

Care to share a pic of your 'hot pants' with us?

My problem has nothing to do with my hot pants or my exhaust. I was wondering if I’m weird for taking the bike out just to listen to it run. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m crazy. By the way they are not hot pants nor are they pink. They are Harley black of course and now with a hole on the inside of the right leg.

Sometimes after I start my bike to leave for work, I get off and walk around it just to hear it run. I'm thinking of joining a support group.

Could have a worse problem. This is what happens when you get near a Harley while wearing shorts.

Skin comes off the pipes real easy.
