When fueling your RG, don't put the cap on to of the pump because maybe you will leave it there. Don't ask me how I know
and if you do don't do it a second time, don't ask me how I know

When letting your Heritage down on the lift after servicing it, make sure the jiffy stand is down or it might tip over and bend your mirror and dent your wifes car, don't ask me how I know.

When you take off riding in the morning to early, tired and hung over and you stop at the first station to pick up a cigar. Dont forget to put the kick stand down. Dont ask me how I know.

Do not teach yourself how to turn off the alarm using the turn signals sitting on the seat with the jiffy stand up and get mad jump off to go get the manual.

Don't be so cool as to kick your leg OVER the rear seat...while your wife is still there. Think it hurt her?? I have the scar to prove it.

Don't let you bike idle in traffic for over 2 hours while trying to get from downtown Sturgis to Glencoe campground or it may not start the next morning cause the battery is dead. Don't ask me how I know.

When you are 56 years old and 5'6" on Vac with a fully loaded RG with Wife on Back - Do NOT park in a space that slants Down towards the curb - esp with there are other bikers watching.... Its a very easy park - but you will NOT look Cool trying to get out....
