I’ve been in France (French Rivera) for the last two weeks and have been blown away by the skills of the riders on two wheels. In the cities the guys/ girls/ men / women lane split and pass on the city streets in ways I would never attempt- rain or shine. Lane splitting is only legal in California i ...

Thanks MacV2. That makes a lot more sense than where my one is located (see pic). The other was not there. I will relocate the one and see about getting a second one ordered.

It is easy. It's harder to ride a bike than remove the tank :lol: Don't loose your little rubbers along the side rim at the base of the tank. You will want to remove the petrol cap for painting. It's only three bolts that hold that in place. The others are smaller and only there for show. Can ...
