I got this, how about you?
« on: August 30, 2015, 10:14:07 PM »
 I was going to ask what makes your K0 750 corner like it's got a low front tire. But I figured it out. It was a low front tire.

 Then I was going to ask what to do when my cb900 just clicks instead of starting but I thumped the relay with a screwdriver and it fired right up.

I have had too many "oh, I got this" moments..

Bike was really hard to start, and then ran really crap, then pagged out completely... eventually noticed that I hadn't turned the fuel tap on

Went around the block to test my new brakes out and there was a horrible grinding noise and not a lot of braking force- got back home to find one of the new brake pads on the garage floor

Late one afternoon, turned on the headlight and found when I checked it, that only high beam was working. After playing with the headlight switch for a while ... "DING!"- I have two 500's, but I was riding my 550F which has the high/low beam switch on the LEFT side- the right side switch just changes from "park" to "on"

The kill switch occasionally gets me too! John

madmtnmotors & RAF122S,

You guys got it wrong.
Insanity is hereditary.  You get it from your Spouse & Children!!!!!
As far as the Estrogen level goes, that comes from fast bikes.
Where your family jewels kind of try and hide back up in there.  When they find their way inside, it releases the Estrogen into the system, thus returning you to a more Kinder Gentler State of Being.

And that's your Zen moment for today.  :)  :)  :)
