1. I call them "armpit driers".
2. Sissy bar was for back when guys would pack without being thought of as gay.
3. No horn connected to brake, but around here, a bike's directional signal is connected to the gas pedal of the car behind him in the next lane. Must be a Florida law.
4. You can use beach bars in Nebraska, but only on Omaha Beach.
5. You fell over;you hit the floor. What are you complaining about?
6. Actually,many Kawasakis from the 70s had neutral on the bottom--usually their 2 stroke street & dirt bikes, and the 500 & 750 triples.
7. I often though about an automatic Harley. Had a Honda 750 Auto back in the day;only bought it 'cause it was almost brand new,only 1200 miles & about half price & I needed transportation. While part of the essence of motorcycling was lost, I must say that cruising, especially sightseeing, was very enjoyable & smooth;no chain jerk at all. And since the ONLY bike I would consider owning besides a Harley would be a Boss Hoss,and they are automatic--I guess yea;I might consider one. I said CONSIDER! As in I wouldn't rule it out.
