    Damn Dogs!!

    I've only directed my dog to pee on ONE car, due to its owners. I refuse to let him pee on anyones yard or fence, and I'm pretty sure its something he learned somewhere , because he REFUSES TO take a dump ANYWHERE but his own backyard... unless he's been crated for too long and didn't go before...

    Parking

    Texas they make you pay as much as a car, although you'll find some spots that are dedicated for bikes (in garages and SOME lots) and sometimes you'll get a ticket if you don't park parallel. I always back into/angle the spot so I can drive straight out into traffic without the whole "look hard...

    Riding technique

    +1 on the deer watching. :/ I routinely watch my escape paths come and go. I check my mirrors about every 5 seconds when in traffic to know how far behind me the next bumper is. On familiar roads its very easy to get complacent, but on strange roads or when I hit the twisties for the...

    Are mirrors really necessary?

    1. I LOVED the headlight shape/feel/look. Looks like a Decepticon face to me. 2. The stock mirrors loosened a few times, and I replaced them with some Rizoma's to lower the angle and shrink them down... but I definitely appreciate the presence of the mirrors. The reason I say this is you...

    killed my first deer yesterday

    what shocked me was the fact that I saw the deer's head under my left handgrip... how did it get there so damn fast? I was doing 55mph! I only had the slightest hint that the deer was coming and all I got to do was take my hand off the gas... but yeah, if I'd had maybe 1 full second more I...

    How does this sit with you?

    yeah, it chafes. I would have at least let it stay for the rest of the day and took it down at nightfall since it needs to be lit up with light if it flies after sundown.
