    Only Way To Ride Safely

    IVE BEEN RIDEING SINCE I WAS 14 {IM 47 NOW} ..MY ADVICE IS TO RIDE LIKE YOU ARE INVISIBLE. WATCH EVERY SIDE ROAD /PARKING LOT / ALLEYWAY . BE AWARE OF ANY AND ALL VEHICLES MOVING OR NOT .AND WATCH THOSE MIRRIORS . BE AWARE IF U ARE IN ANOTHER DRIVERS BLIND SPOT .ABOVE ALL BE READY FOR ANYTHING OVER ANYHILL AROUND ANY CORNER
    AND ..RELAX

    I absoultey agree - when I taught my girlfriend to ride, one of the first things I told her was that when she sits on that motorcycle, she turns invisible.

    (I can't honestly remember how old I was when I started, I think I started riding honda sprees and puchs (pukes) when I was around 9 or 10? Show's my ago, heh)

      GOOD ADVICE! I've taught my sons the same thing. You are invisable to everyone on and off the road. With the addition that everyone else operating a vehicle on your route is blind and stupid.

      Ride safe.

            Never had a problem with the cops while on The Dark Horse. I always ride in "Stealth" mode and use my "Cloaking Device".

                  Hey, I thought I was Batman. Must be a clone....

                  I ride in stealth mode also. If you need everyone in the county to know you are out and about, ask harleydave how to ride in broadcast mode, as in "What is that? An F-16 taking off?"

                    Stealthy Harley-Dave

                    Speaking of Harley Dave,

                    Haven't seen/heard him on the Forum for a while. Is he just lurking? What about that complete rewiring diagram for the XS to replace the entire harness he promised, which also eliminated the alleged continuous drain from the battery for the ?VoltReg? even when the key is off?? But he had posted that he had gotten the baffles for his pseudo-harley-XS a while back, so he must also be in stealth mode now, guess that's why we haven't heard from him??
