  1. I am technically left handed, I write and eat, ect with it. Basically anything my mother taught me how to do im a lefty. Now things like throw a ball, swing a hammer, turn a wrench, throw a fishing line, ect I am a right, or anything else my pops would have taught me.
  2. Soon as I can get my glove on, I'll be riding. Maybe a few weeks.
  3. Been doing a lot of home improvements lately and tonight a job bit me back. Was in the process of adding a had rail to my side porch steps and had to shave down a board I was working on about a 1/4". Took out my little battery operated mini circular saw and set the blade to the correct depth and started cutting. Now these battery saws have no ass to them at all and they bind up easily if you try to cut too fast. And this is what happend, so I backed the saw out of the cut (finger still on the trigger) and when it got spinning again it kicked back on to my other had that was resting behind it. It caught the tip of my index finger and basically sucked it in and ripped it of at the fist knuckle. So had to have emergency surgery on it in thr ER and now my finger as about a inch and a half shorter. Got some good pain meds and antibiotics abd several weeks off work, thank god for short term disability. And if your wondering what happend to tip of thr finger, we found it still attached to saw blade when we got home. Along with a scene from the walking dead all over my garage floor, those wounds really do squirt blood like in the movies. Here are a couple pics, not going to post the nasty ones. Pre surgery x ray, they cut the rest of that bone piece out. Pre surgery Post surgery This is the little bastard
  4. Glad you ok as others have said. They say is not "if"you go down is "when" Hopefully some lesson learned dust yourself off get back in the saddle
  5. I had a simular problem for about a year maybe 3 years ago. Went though all the same, try this try that. Ended up being somthing at the distribution point at a intersection about a mile down the road. Took them forever to find it and I was the only one on that line so it wasn't a priority.
  6. Sounds like a reasonable, economical real world kind of bike. Not for me..lol
  7. Definitely not for me then, my bike throws a ton of heat at my legs.
  8. What do you think of these? I might order a pair from the Web site. Yours are way to small for me.
  9. 230 mile fuel runs on a warm day, it is needed..lol
  10. These work good for lack of a better option. I had to take mine to the store and find a water bottle that would fit in it suggly but not too tight. Also the bottle I found has a flip up straw for easy access. Worked well for me going out to Wyoming last year. Only issue I had was I could not put a full water bottle in it because it would make it top heavy and fall over, I usually only fill mine 3/4. I'm using mine with the clutch lever bolt mount. It will pivot around corners and leans with the bike via centripetal force fairly well. I still use it when slabbin on long trips and it's easily removed with in seconds and stows in my side bag .
  11. I use Chrome 95% of the time but there are a couple video streaming sites that are smoother on IE and can be jerky on Chrome.
  12. Mine did a update last night, must have been it.
