    "Manor" is an estate or large house. I think you mean "manner." You're killing me!

    It's not "garbage" to encourage motorcyclists following this thread, to develop the attitude... and BELIEVE...their safety is 100% within THEIR power to control! 100%! The rest of this is off topic and I'm sorry for responding but... it's just too easy! *** If you're NOT reading “...all...

    Heavy Handling?

    Great pic of a competent motorcyclist!

    I'll grant that (given the choice) serious injury is less likely from a slide than from a high-side. My point has always been that NEITHER is the best choice of all. I'm not even going to try and argue a case that is applicable only on the battlefield. Your example is for a maneuver designed...

    WHAT!? I rather think that slowing down before entering an intersection is the BEST choice! This rider did not CHOOSE to high side. The high side was solely a function of physics. There can be NO DENYING that this motorcyclist hit the left-turning driver because he was entering the...

    Virago's "Box-O-Rocks"

    It was only "ho-hum" because the U.S. gummint forced manufacturers to gear it for the idiotic 55MPH limit. And it IS geared for that speed.

    Virago's "Box-O-Rocks"

    But not very many with the mono-shock rear of the GEN I. If someone offers you one, give me a call.

    I have stated: "If I am riding a motorcycle and I get into a wreck... its MY FAULT! NO EXCUSES! NO ASSIGNATION OF BLAME TO SOMEONE ELSE!" The car pulling out in front of your friend did NOT "[CAUSE]" him to run into the car!! His failure to recognize the impending danger BEFORE it happened...

    You aren't contributing anything except that which might result in serious injury to those inexperienced riders who might think you are some sort of motorcycling guru (a "professional") and take your absolutely ABSURD advice to heart! And you want the moderators to fight your battle and close...

    Uh, Oh. He's going ad hominem, that means, he knows his argument is weak. His childish statement adds NOTHING to the discussion! *** Hey Pal, it's not what I THINK. It's what I KNOW! You expect us to believe you were actually taught by "Professionals" that going over the handlebars is a...

    Eject over the top!? As in "high side?" What "riding school" teaches this!? A "high side" is caused when the real wheel locks up then subsequently "hooks up," starts turning and the motorcycle snaps to rolling straight ahead . It is NOT, NOT, NOT... a technique!! WOW!!

    Thermo unit and thermo sensor replacement

    Make sure the wires are inserted completely in the back of the gauge. As Firemedic said on another post, unplugging and plugging connectors is a good PM item. It's a likely cause if the bike has ever seen rain.

    Awful Noise Starting Warm Engine

    Leave the center nut looseley attached to keep the flywheel from flying off. When it's free, remove the nut together with the flywheel. That's a mod I want to check out. I trustyou sprayed out the bolt holes with a quick drying cleaner and then used Loctite. Yeah, don't use sandpaper. Buy...

    It sounds like SpecOps13 has the philosophy "It's not a question of picking battles... there are battles for which one must be prepared. After that... Que será, será."

    Something has always concerned me with the geometry...

    It looks really nice. I will be interested to see how the dimensions compare to that of the OEM. I have a couple fewer threads showing . Is there a cotter pin installed? It's difficult to tell.

    Do “You People” (who play the “race card” any time they want to push their Liberal/Progressive bona fides) NEVER tire of trying to shame Us into silence!? I'M A RACIST, since I have a different opinion from yours. By your puerile definition EVERYONE IS A RACIST. Grow up! Find a new flail...
