troubles

Removed the 2 main spark plugs fine. Started to remove one from underneath, when i started having problems. It started to loosen fine, then got very tight. So i tried to go back the other way. Now its tight both ways. Any advise would be great. The socket is also stuck in plug. Thanks

warning fellow riders

What is the best way to warn riders that there is a cop ahead? I usually flash my hi beam a couple of times. Not sure if that is the best way. Thanks

Re: Back to the dark side.

The biggest problem with HD is that you go for a 100 mile ride you'll see your bike 20 times. I've had my r12r since may 2010 with 22K on it and have only seen two. I like not having a bike that you see everyday. Yes, HD do make a beautiful bike. just not my cup of tea.

Re: Pelican top case

does anybody have any experience with riding 2 up with that top case? Does it cause any pain to the passenger? My wife will want to know how comfortable it is for a back rest before i spend any money. I've had my eye on the bmw top case but i like the look of this one much more.

So I named i...
