  1. The Purolator PureOne PL14610 is on sale until May 30th 2012 at Advance Auto... 2 for $10..Don't know how that effects you north of the Border folks but.....
  2. Tell her to get a Harley. You won't have to worry about her being out on the road, It'll be in the shop mostly! Just kidding.... Safety Course will open her eyes especially the figure 8 in the box!!!!!! If she learns to look where she wants to go, that's half the battle! May give her a little more insight that it requires skill to ride and no one ever stops learning! Odds are better if she continues to get what she thinks she wants, without the MFS, the odds take a nosedive.
  3. As long as no one seen ya do it, it didn't happen Big bike to powerlift!!!! Couple years ago when I was riding my Suzuki Marauder, small by comparison, I was in a hurry going to work so I start out, I'm about a half mile from home and I realize I forgot my lunch, don't know about you guys but that some serious business right there..... so I conduct the perfect "Ride Like a Pro" U turn and roll back home. I pull in the driveway and dismount completely oblivious to the sidestand not being deployed first!!!! It's one of those moments of utter disbelief that the bike isn't stopping as im getting off, trying to catch it was futile as I roll off to the side. Rolled off into the grass. I'm no spring chicken but was I thinking of what could happen to me physically??? Um, NO. Amazing how fast your mind can work in those situations....on the way down, all I could think was,,,ok, I'm going to have to search ebay for a clutch lever, gear side footpeg, leatherlyke left side hardbag, touch up paint...and wondering if anyone saw me... Yes, snap milliseconds, all that,,,,yeah, I thought that was pretty amazing....AND as I was getting up, I called for a damage report, nothing broke!!!! then came the decision making process of how I was going to pick it up...luckily i watch one of those YouTube vids on how to correctly pick your bike up and they had a 98lb girl picking up a HD Softail so not to be outdone by some girl, I picked it up no problem! Ya, know, if my neighbors did see me, it probably would have looked like I meant to do it I'm sure, just pull up and drop the bike...ha....haven't got invited to the block party the last couple years, been wondering what that was all about....that's probably it. Needless to say, I'm pretty particular about making sure it's down.... Oh, and check the oil full cap to make sure it's in place....yeah, that was a wonderful event....it's probably not advisable to change your oil early in the morning before going to work, small details have HUGE effects...nothing like smelling like Mobil 1 for a week.....On a stupid scale, oh it ranks way up there...I might as well have said...Hold my beer, Hey Ya'll, watch this!!!!! My wife thought it was the funniest thing picking me up on the side of the road covered with oil, and taking me to get more oil...Ha, Yep, felt like I grabbed my stupid gene and got up out to of the pool....
  4. I guess it depends on the definition of COLD! You folks above the Northern border, have a whole different concept of cold verses say someone from Virginia! I guess when alcohol starts to freeze, its time to take things indoors....
