I am an electrician (a very good one, which is why I knew where the short would be) but I am not a mechanic (which is one reason why I was thinking in car terms).

the other reason is, my post was at like 400am while on break at the shop (working my 11th straight 12 hour mid-night shift) so "sleepy" would be an understatement. I wasn't even thinking "motorcycle".

Don't really appreciate the harrassment but it was mostly all in good taste I suppose.

LOL, hell it was pretty fun I guess. Sure I would be cracking up if I read that from someone else lol. (I would assume he wasn't thinking motorcycle when he typed it though).

But anyway, you're welcome odd job. Glad to help. Ride safe.

This was the funniest post on the thread! (At my expense lol)
