If that happens to me, I try to wave at an imaginary person just behind the people that are staring at me.

NO JOKE....don't you hate when you stab for the turn signal and hit the HORN!!!! &!@#$[:@] No one probably notices what just happened, but still can't help being embarrassed. If that happens to me, I try to wave at an imaginary person just behind the people that are staring at me.

Needing a reminder to put the stand down, put the stand up, put the bike in neutral........Sorry, but you guys scare me.

RE: I Sure Wish
The only thing that's gotten me is forgetting to put it in neutral before starting a couple times. With my old ride, it wouldn't do anything while on the side stand unless it was in neutral. Fortunately, the jiffy stand kept the bike upright both times and counting. LOL

I cannot believe that HD allows the bike to start in gear. I always make sure whenI park it to put it in neutral. Feel bad for the guys who forget to, and then drop the bike starting it...I for one rarely sit on the bike when I initially start it...like to let it warm up for about a minute...

I've had the metrics with their air ride, stereos, intercomes, etc and I'll take my dinosaur anytime over them.

RE: I Sure Wish
One time I was standing beside the bike, I hit the starter to warm it up...it was in gear, started on the first crank (pre-PCIII days) and I had to do a 20 foot jog before I got the clutch pulled in!![sm=insomnia.gif]I got lucky in that I didn't lay it over and nobody saw me do it...lesson learned.
