...so I was installing a new battery on the GF's Nighthawk 2fity. I added the electrolyte, charged it, and let is sit per the instructions. I attached the positive terminal, and as I ws 'trying' to attach the negative terminal the battery started hissing and getting hot. I disconnected it and let it sit for 5 minutes. I tried again with the same result. WTF? Did I get a bad battery? I never even had the ignition turned on.

If there weren't already 3 bikes in the garage, I would be all over this one.

The XB9S did great for 2,000+ miles in 4 days.

That sux, but thx for the road recon.. That is a fun stretch of road.

Do you ahppen to know if 148 between 145 & 800 is still covered with gravel?

http://www.canyonchasers.net/reviews/tires/road-attack.php ...worth a look. I am on like my 4th set of these. Long lasting, even wear, and excellent grip all the way to the edges. And the price is right.

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=614203&nmt=Bridgestone%20BT021%20review I read the same issue on several sites. YMMV.

I would do a little research on the BT021. Reports have shown probs with the BT021 front (The rear seems to be OK). Apparently the front wears in 'steps' between the different compounds and can cause some funky handling issues. Also, the front seems to wear before the rear.

The CORE ride was really fun. 468 miles in that heat, was a real workout.

Yes. Absolutely. Modern ST tires have more than enough grip to drag knees. Conti Road Attacks, Stradas, and Pilot Road 2s are the best of the bunch.

I've never had to do this, but... If a mechanic provides a service on a vehicle and the owner either abondons the vehicle or refuses to pay, a mechanic can file a lein. After some time limit the mechanic can have a new title issued.

A court ordered title is a lot of red tape and not a sure thing. If you have a mechanic friend, you can ask him to file a mechanics lein.

I've been pulled over while carrying. After I informed the officer I was carrying & and in a pocket...the first thing he asked me was if it was in a holster. A pocket is not a holster, wrapping it in a bandana is not a holster, etc.

For legal conceled carry, it needs to be in a holster. Pocket holsters are cheap and keep it positioned for easy access.

What would Plaxico Burress do?

I had a 94 and a 99. More fun to ride than most cruisers with good power and decent handling.

+1 S&W has very good customer service. Give them a call. If they can't help over the phone they will fix if for free (unless you caused some damage).

Without a doubt, that is the most realistic combat scene to EVER come out of Hollywood.
