Use a strong abrasive... like Comet or AJAX... it will take all the swirls out... swirls slow you down. Wind issues... Okay I can't do this, I have to work. See you later.

Just moved up to '08 RK from '79 Shovel. Dealer delivered to the house about six weeks ago. Dying to get it out for a ride, looked on both sides, WHERE IS THE KICKER!

Ok, here goes mine!

I just moved up from a Honda Mini-Trail 50 and have a problem, I put the key in and turned it all the way to the right but it won't start, it doesn't even click. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to take it to the dealer.
