Now Which Miter gauge??

Not a problem, other Larry.

Harder to "cut off" a bike though. Fit through much smaller spaces, and are more maneuverable.

Have you ever tried to start one of those keyed things without turning the key? Let me tell you now that pressing on the brake and tapping the dashboard does NOT work. :-)

I recall hunting all over the floor for the starter button the first time I drove something that didn't start with the wee tab on the clutch pedal depressing that button ...

In Paris, on the Boulevard Périferique, 1 foot on either side of the dashed line between the 2 left-most lanes is reserved for motorcycles. Truly scary ... at least to 1 passenger ...

Well then the loudness of the Harley that the motorist is complaining about becomes a moot point.

Yeah, I've seen those guys "maneuver" there way into a fishtail, lose it, and end up with road rash for the next 3 months.

The driver who cut them off, meanwhile, just drives on, totally clueless as to what they just did.

See, we do agree on something :-).

I belong to a vintage motorcycle club. There's some contention whether the "vintage" applies to the bikes or the riders :-). I know it's a small data point, but there must be close to a thousand years of riding amongst the members. I can't say we've never gotten a little road rash (I know I have) but the only body parts I know of that are missing were replaced due to old age :-).

ATGATT.

Sorry, I'm not privy to these abbreviations you youngsters are using these days.

Like, O! M! G! Mon, IDNKT! ROTFL

However, I'm grown a fondness for STFU and LMFAO! :-)

Brittany Morrow, who knows a bit about road rash, is the poster girl .

Gotcha. Rarely do I see any of the dentists and lawyers on Harleys around here wearing that stuff. I do a lot a young punks on crotch rockets wearing that stuff, but they are usually the ones causing accidents by weaving in, out, and around cars at twice speed limit. When they fly by me, I just wave and say, "See ya at your funeral."

Oh yeah, while we're on the topic, if you're going to ride a motorcycle with that tiny little brake might on the back and cut in front of me, have the brains of a gnat to at least apply a little bit of brake when you're downshifting so I freakin know when you decide to go from 50 to

Lot of Harley people are about image. I generally see the ones weaving in and out wearing t-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.

My "tiny little brake light" is brighter than the ones on my SUV.

Yep, the push button under the clutch, which was the same as the headlight dimmer button on the floorboard left of the clutch pedal..
