I'm trying to grind mine down enough to use as a letter opener, LOL. Hit mine all the time. It takes a bit to get used to at first but it then becomes second nature.

Did it on my fatboy and doing it on my Ultra. Only difference is I have intercom now so I can hear "her Indoors" scream as well as get tapped topside.

This strikes me as the age old struggle of Good vs. Evil. It's like a very simple question yet it makes one either a sinner or a saint. It's almost has if you asked: Do you or don't you go to church?

Can't there just be salvation for us all, even if some of us once in a while chase a little dragon?!

Scrape em no problem never really give it much thought though. Lets ya know you are at "that" point. Oddly enough the OL really doesn't react to it, she just goes with the flow. I know she hears it because she will mention it on occasion.

If I don't scrape my floorboards on my RK then I know I haven't leaned far enough! Love it!!

Sometimes scares those around me though!
