Man.... I guess people who are impressionable ought not join this forum.

I think the easiest answer is to ride naked.

I saw a couple doing that at east coast sturgis this year, they wrecked in a pile of stumps. OUCH !! NOT a good idea.

It must suck to park your bike for months at a time.

It was 70 on the way to the office this morning. Supposed to be mid 70's on the way home. Trying to decide if I'll even put on a jacket.

Well, when you eliminate the numerous threads you cleverly alluded to, we're left with IDS, GPS, and "my bike's too hot!" Funny stuff.

OK, all that stuff is probably important, but it pales in comparison to the all important question of who you plan to wave to....

Should I get on from the left side or right side?

How do you fill up your tank? Put it on the sidestand or fill it while you're on it? Pull up with the pump on your left side or right side? Where do you put the gas cap? How full do you top it off?

Is my fuel gauge defective? It reads full forever and then drops like a rock to empty when I still have 2 gallons left.

Why does my bike have an air temp gauge? It's not like I don't know if it's hot or cold out! And it reads wrong all the time. Should I relocate the sensor outside the fairing or replace it with an oil tempgauge?

What RPM is considered lugging?

Should I turn by leaning or countersteering? Is countersteering driving a bike? Because I want to RIDE! Maybe I should lean more to look cool.

My Harley whines in 5th gear! It's driving me nuts! Make it stop!

(of course I have NEVER started or contributed to any of these topics... )
