You're wasting your time. I tried to explain how a closed basic hydraulic system works, I was basically told I was an idiot.

And much like you, if my hydraulic knowledge isn't up to snuff, people die. Considering I'm an engineer on a warship.

What do we know? We don't "RACE" motorcycles..

My first thought was "damn, i'll kinda miss him tho". Bwahahahaha...

In his defense, I dont think he was the one who made that comment. I beleive that one can be attributed to Tigger. Just saying.

:lol: nice

I thought I wanted a gear indicator...but now I don't think I do.

Currently my speedometer is broken, my turn signal light does not work, and I have no gear indicator...but I also rarely look down while riding which is good. :beers:

I wish I didn't. I'm forever looking down to check the speedo. Everytime I see a speed limit sign, I've caught myself glancing down. I've often thought of taking the damn thing off the bike. :lol:

I used to try and read my speedometer...but it takes me a good 5-6 seconds to figure out what it says which I figured was not too safe! :panic: I have trained myself to not look at it...which hopefully will not bite me in the ass if/when I get a new bike. :lol:

"We follow orders, son. We follow orders or people die. It's that simple. Are we clear?"

Well, let's just say if the car is running, it has more potential to damage the electronics or other things on the bike, but maybe I'm over simplifying here, (I'm a practicing EE to, but if I screw up, only big transformers just burn up not whole nuke plants). Batteries do not "push" current, the components "pull" current.....you know what, nevermind, just not worth it.

I've tried for 6th a few times on the ZR1100. It could use it but it's not there :scratch:

It's really confusing jumping back on the triples. Instead of 1 down and 4 up, it's neutral on the bottom and all 5 up. :dthumb:

Bad things happen. My friend Kurt is a part owner of Phoenix Performance. They build race cars, mostly corvettes.

A few years back they were running the 24 Hours of Daytona and the corvette driver wound out 6th gear and went for 7th. The company that rebuilt the transmission didn't install the reverse lockout and the driver was able to shift into reverse.

Lets just say when you let the clutch back out in reverse doing well in excess of 150 mph ( probably closer to 170 ) you don't stay in control of the vehicle but instead spin wildly until you stop.

I had to jump my bike many times... If only there was a device to keep your battery charged while it sits...

Anyways car on... Car off... No issues for me...

yes, you work with materials that are manufactured to a much higher degree than the stuff they put on a motorcycle.

I am that mechanic, I haven't flipped burgers since working in the mid 80's.
