I like the garage door opener for sure but ya don't have to feed or talk to a piece of string.

I've come to the conclusion with today's drivers and some the upbringing of a lot of people. There is no more personal accountability, and there is the "I'll let my insurance company handle any damages that I may stupidly incur". Yes it would suck to have your bike run over, but how do you fix stupid? A telescoping mast with a dayglo flag on it would be a real good idea. Maybe have it attached to your fork tube.

How much does one of those garage door openers cost to maintain? How well would it work with the wife?

How about a candy-striped neon cover? That should get you the attention you deserve!

Short term parking??? Turn on your 4-way flashers. Just don't run down your battery.

If people are too damn stupid to look where they are going, backward or forward they don't need a license. No way to protect yourself from that.

A few years back a woman in a mini van parked in front of my bike and went in a store. When she came out to leave, she pulled forward and over my 94 FXDL.
