There's a few FD's here, usualy on La Paz close to the freeway and sometimes at in-n-out. Watch out durning the day though, there's usualy a bike cop with a radar gun where Big 5 is.

btw, you miss spelled "Niguel" on yer sigy.

Last time a cop radar'd me I whipped out my dick and he knew who the man was... sad to say I got a ticket for sexual assualt, and for attemped assault with a deadly weapon.

Welcome to SoCal - the highest gas prices in the U.S. =)

not that I'm trying to get any free help here or anything, but ........ I can't really go on drives because Donna just up and dies sometimes. Usually not a problem unless it's mid-corner. I'm thinking it might be a TPS issue. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you're asking for free help to me... LOL.

Donna?

That issue sounds very familiar - do a search bro, I've seen threads on it before.

I was seriously considering just buying a used truck so I can take the bike to track days. Maybe in december I actually will. Until then, I want to have some fun with the Donna.

I would have given you my advice, but I can't remember what the problem was. Although I've read threads on it....
