    I get that it's a big blow for those who love and appreciate gasoline motorcycles, but it’s about time this happened. Whether we like it or not, we need to start thinking about the environment and try to fix the consequences of our actions over the past few decades. While many will argue that banning the production of ICE motorcycles won’t solve the problem, I think it’s a good move. 

    Something for you to consider . Lawn & industrial power equipment produce more emissions than do vehicles .

    I probably have a starter switch and turn signal lens. But I'll need to dig a bit to confirm.

    As for the bar - I had success straightening mine in a vise using wood blocks to apply the pressure where needed. You could also drop by a machine shop and they'd probably straighten it out for $20.

    I might have a handle bar, but what you just experienced is the reason I was holding on to it. Let me know if you can't straighten yours out.

    I have a hydraulic press and I can straighten it out .

  6. To all members that are packrats : I need some things to get my 2000 Greenie back in shape . I need the r.h. switchgear . The starting switch decided to hang . I also need the l.h. front turn signal lens and if I can't straighten the l.h. bar I will be looking for one of those  too. I have one somewhere and CANNOT find it. Let me know , it is down for a little while .

    Rational teenagers? How very dare you!

    Only Asperger teens are rational

    Were you a rational teenager ? Neither was I .

    ALL teenagers need to do two years in the military PERIOD . R Lee Ermy would be a great motivational speaker .  The big difference between R Lee and my dad ? My dad meant what he said .

    Did you have gear on? I had a 2kmph tumble off my BMW and my right shoulder was fine. Had a tumble off my bicycle (practicing 250+kph hanging off turns in prep for trackday) and punctured a lung. Had a senior moment tumble off my bicycle (feet in straps) at zero, and tore my left shoulder ligament. I don't wear gear on a bicycle, not even a helmet, because I think a bicycle helmet looks silly on me. 

    If it matters , Aerostitch on Bibendum might have helped IDK . I do know I need to practice my squats . 2020 was when I had my knees replaced and I just haven't ridden until about 6 weeks ago. My knees will not allow me to put the balls of my feet on the pegs , SO I will have to practice , practice , practice .
