How smart is Your Right Foot??

Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon...

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain!

1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY... ...) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer,
lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going
to try it again, if you've not already done so.

:gah:...

Since we tore apart the Rocker in another thread I’d like to add another irritation to the mix.

Did anyone notice how they got 6 gallons out of a 5 gallon gas tank??

:rant:
They closed up the tunnel area under the tank, BUT, in order to get the extra room they relocated the top stabilizer link to the front of the head. Now they got the butt ugly stabilizer link w/butt ugly bracket right in eye site. This, I don’t understand.

I am perfectly content with 5 gallons and would much rather have 5 gallon gas tank then have to look at the butt ugly stabilizer link. Take a look next time you are in the Stealership and bitch at the sales person. Bitch just for the fun of it if nothing else.

Another reason to keep my old bike.

any one know whether I will have to pull the nosecone to replace the camshaft oil seal?

I have a 2004 Softail Classic with 16,000 on the odometer. Just started to hear a "clicking" sound from the engine. Have not had a chance to investigate but I suspect something is amiss with the tappets. Is this common for this age and mileage? Am I on the right track? Thanks in advance.

Howdy, long time since I posted last. But summer daylight was burning, Logged a bit over 8K so far this year been All through the Carolinas, Tenn, Arkansas, Ill, Mo,Ind, Va, Ky, Md, WVa, Pn, Fl, Ms, La, And bits of Kansas, Ok and Tx....and was fine until I pulled into Tuscaloosa, AL. Had ridden hard that day got caught up for almost 4 hrs in the broiling sun waiting for a wreck to get cleared, and was worn out. So I pull into a Motel 6 and get a room. Parked the bike under a light pole, locked the forks and rear brake, wrapped my cable lock through the frame and around said pole. Took a dip in the pool, grabbed some ice and had a drink then crashed.
When I get up in the morning I didnt need any coffee to get my blood pumping....I look out the window and there is my beloved Iron Steed,...
