Anyone who knocks a bike over and leaves without saying anything or at least leaving a note is "THE LOWEST FORM OF HUMANITY"
CLEARLY NOT A MOTORCYCLIST.
People that do that sort of thing have no moral compass and don't deserve any good luck themselves.
Let's have a list of what you'll need and we'll start trawling the web.
Bad luck and so unfair.

It's universal like up/down, north/south, over here/over there (LOL). Gnats-*** is also universal.

I think I will start my own universal measurement. "A little more than none."
WOW! I like that one.

Today I rode 30 minutes to a shop for my yearly inspection. (I can look out my window and see a shop that does bikes but that takes the fun out of the ride. I can walk there in 1 1/2 minutes.)

They are suppose to turn in all expired stickers. I have no Idea what happened but the sticker on the bike was the wrong color and dated June 2011, not 2012. The new one expires last day IN June 2013. I was ridding for one year with the wrong sticker and could have been written up. In New York State, that's a moving violation now with 1 point.

Where I come from 3/5ths of an RCH is equal to a VCH or thereabouts

Just love black bikes Indy. Good Job.

My '91 has a lot of black also a lot of red come to think of it?

Cheers, SB
