Why would you have to remove one? The ones I encountered were placed
perfectly.

I was the envy of the schoolyard. I had my own motorcycle.

I forgot to mention that the seat was ripped and repaired with duct
tape.

My Ducati manual said that if I lost my key I should replace it with a
piece of metal of similar size. I just wired in two toggle switches in
series.


Key? Until I bought my first Harley none of my bikes had a key. None
of them even had starters.


The Suzuki GS550 and Goldwing have electric starters, although the
pushbutton on the Suzuki has a #2 pencil eraser for a return spring.
The rest have REAL starters.

One time in college I chained my motorcycle to a bike rack. When I
came back after class I found that some dumbass parked his bicycle
next to my Honda. He didn't have a chain so he lifted mine and put
his lock through his spoke and through my chain. I was incensed when
I saw what he did. I couldn't wait around until he showed up and I
could beat his ass so I reached in my tool kit and pulled out a pair
of wire cutters. I cut his spoke and took off with his lock. Some
people have no respect for personal property.


:-) I didn't know they issued bicycle licenses to retards.

Did I mention that I posted some more pics of my yacht?


No, I just saw the one. No rum casks, no murderous minions, just a
couple of guys probably trying to jump start it or something.


And that explains the lack of additional pictures?
