Night Tony.

The most scared I ever was on a bike that shouldn't have been an issue as there was nothing apparently wrong...

was an H2 Kawasaki that started this really strong oscillation in the bars at 120 mph at a cruise.

I was afraid to go slower or faster.

Otherwise I try to scare myself every time I ride...keeps you young.

I once had a runaway issue with the TS.  It didn't have any vent tubes attached, and I was riding it in the rain, water went in the carb and it basically went full throttle.  Even after I cut the ignition switch and kill switch off it was still going.  That turned into a pretty nasty high side.

evening from home . . .

dinner was, fried chicken from Super7 convenience at the Puma gas station . . .

I had a scare once on my bike . . . not a tank slapper but very heavy side to side movement

I remember practicing at a riding area on the CR. Part of the track we had made went across the road, there was a big jump before the road and usually you could get the front tire over the shallow drainage ditch on the far side, Naturally one time I came up short, nose down, flew over the bars, hit the dirt kind of hard.

Thought I would share that because you know, just because.



I also got my new fangled internet ready light switch installed for the outside porch lights. I can control the switch from an app on my mobile device.

Leaving the lights off or leaving them on when I'm out of town is worrisome to me. The vacant house across the street has been broke into I don't know how many times.

Maybe just put them on an auto controller that can flick them on and off randomly or just make them be a strobe for giggles.

I can do that with some interior Lights , but the outside lights I have programed to come on at sunset local time, and go off at sunrise. The switch goes out to the interwebs to get that information
