In high school, I blew up the engine in my mom's brand-new Jaguar. The main bearing went. I was only doing 110 mph. Should have been able to do that speed all day.
Oops.
Luckily, it was covered under warranty, or I'd still be paying for it out of my allowance.

Re: a case of rider's intuition and an airhorn tribute
Darn horn button. Was riding the PCX after riding the Silverwing most of the time. Lady in a van swerved into my lane with no signal. Hit the horn button and got .....the turn signal button. Why did Honda have to go and switch the button placement between bikes? Anyway, as mentioned above, when I di...

Hmm, buying through Amazon is much cheaper than getting a new bike so you can shop at Fry's.

Re: 2017 Model Forza, Will it exist in the USA ???
Probably. Know for sure that a local dealer still has a 2013 available. He marks the price up and down at various intervals. I got a NOS 2013 for $5995 in August of last year. Have since seen the other one as low as $5495 at one point; it's $6495 now.

Re: a case of rider's intuition and an airhorn tribute
Good application of intuition/experience. Around here, a loud horn merely makes them pause for a fraction of a second. Then they keep coming. Every little bit of time helps, though!

Re: BIKE SHELTER
Was thinking the same thing, Mike. Could even attach the extension to the existing shed and gain some extra support.
One benefit, though, of supporting the fabric away from the bike is keeping the flapping fabric from scuffing the paint as standard covers can do.

As a victim of bike theft, like I always say, if they want it they will get it. Good insurance is your friend.

Re: New MOTOVLOG - Scoot Commute 8 - Amish Cooking
Bought a health plan for each of our three dogs. Among other benefits, the plan includes twice yearly teeth cleaning. Best investment we've ever made for our four-legged kids. Tried toothbrushes but the dogs bite at the brush and it's tough to keep them still while doing it (especially with the 125-...

Re: scooter tampered with!
Tampering/part theft theory sounds implausible. If they wanted a part, they'd be more likely to take the whole bike and take the parts (all of them) off at their leisure in a safe spot. Likewise, I just don't see somebody randomly loosening swingarm bolts if they wanted to mess with you, as compared...

The manual will tell you what to use and how to wash it. Me? Washed it once, maybe twice, in three years.

Re: Unused connector
Looks like it might be a data link connector for using OBD.
Check out the wiring diagram here, and see if it matches the wire colors:

I absolutely detest personal property taxes. Paid them for decades in the DC region. Loving Texas with no personal property tax and no state income tax. I'd appeal the assessment.
