    Yeah - my bad, never thought it was a late model one that you could download shit for an engine management system to get around basic physics.. All I have is 35 years experience with manual systems and non HD big twins so wtf would I know about EFI etc etc... (no seriously)

    I'm the engine management system on my bikes and I'm happier that way...... I'll crawl back into my shed

    Us....the people that sold it to him!


    We test ride all of the bikes well sell, but you can't always pre-empt how people are going to ride/use them. When we hear there's an 'issue', we'll always do our best to sort it!

    Hope you realise that once they have plugged their PC into it they will know where you are, what you are doing and how much money you have left which won't be much because they will be sending spam mail to you bike filling it's mind with strange desires for loud pipes and tassels... It's an internation plot man...

    No doubt you got a good deal, but my original comments were aimed at the idea that bike's were a DIY style of transport, now days its getting (espescially with Fuel injection) that you can't DIY anymore. I also acknowledge that they're a dam sight more reliable nowdays. People jokingly rubbish Harley's but they are up there with the reliability as any Jappa, but there is nothing to maintain really yet people still take them into the dealers for servicing at the required intervals. The HOG image captures the DIY type of guy but they probably only know what the Brochure tells them technically.No one has picked on my grammar and there seems to be less crickets

    Mixed quantities. There seem to be .. crickets; or There seems to be a (single) cricket

    And less is used of quantity , fewer of number.

    There seem to be fewer crickets.


    Just thought you'd like to know. This public service message brought to you by BOTTYNZ, the original grammar nazis, and still the best. Ask for BOTTY by name, we give green stamps (unlike a certain unnamed inferior competitor)
