I believe it was Sir Meldrew who had that problem. I don't recall any one else. The checking of the fasteners seems to eliminate the problem. I believe it is more a matter of maintenance than safety. You might search under AF-214 windshield. I think ther was quite a discussion. From what I have read, it seems the good points outweigh the bad.

I think only Meldrew had that problem. But I think it was because of his car tire he uses. Or maybe the bathrooms in Tennessee. frustrated

You must have been lurking on here last July to have read that. It happened to me on the way home after having my latest Darkside tyre fitted. I was so shocked that I had to stop at the nearest but rather dirty bathroom, to throw up the remains of the chicken fried steak and a mess of greens I'd enjoyed earlier in the day. Wink

Meldrew, I thought they didn't allow darkside tyres. They had to be tires. Smile

Yes, and I thought chicken fried steak was chickendance

, also according to the rules, real gravy is brown in colour/color not white. A little known fact is lovers of proper gravy also refer to themselves as Darksiders, there's a forum somewhere.

I've heard wearers of boat shoes also call themselves Darksiders, or is it Docksiders? confused

My fans, if I had any, would be dorksiders and a big bird's could be storksiders. :flower:

I was thinking of putting the Vista Cruse on my swing I went to our local honda dealer and they sell them there. From what I can tell if I move my right side break oil containment over just a little I should have rome to fit this on the handlebars next to the throttle, is this correct?? Thank you
