Default Harley Guy "Now liquid cooled"

I wrote a post earlier in week said I was getting shoulder surgery. Well I am sitting home rcovering now.
The doctor hooked me up to a polar care cold water pump. The pump is filled with water and ice and circulates the cold water through a cooling pad on my shoulder.

Damm,,,after all these years of defending the HD engine I am now
LIQUID COOLED

Had shoulder surgery and it sucks. You are gonna be miserable but it will pass. Make sure you do all the physical therapy and don't get yerself hooked on those percosets... You'll be back in the wind before you know it. Hang in there.

If you had that contraption with you all the time, riding in 120 degree desert heat would never be a problem again. You might mention that to the DR. he may want to patent that puppy! LOL!

Default Urine Cooled

Try to stay out of water cooled topics and politics, got kicked off a metric forum before I bought my Harley. The old Yammi was running dry and getting hot and I was not near a water source. I remember the stories of how the G.I.'s would pee in the old water cooled 30 caliber machine gun when they overheated and they had no other water source. I just applied the same fix to the old watercooled metric.

Don't never mention you pissed on a metric on a Yamaha forum!
