About fuel injection and ease of starting: As a carry-over Evo+carburetor guy, all I've got to say is how amazed I was watching all you FI guys at Soggy Valley one-touching your starter and bang, instantly the motor's up and purring. Me, I've gotten used to the choke-start-spit-die, half choke-start-spit-cough-die, start-spit-cough-cough-fire-warm up for five minutes before riding routine. And I used to do all the above with a kick-start Triumph, so I'm fascinated by the idea of fuel injection. Wow, does that look easy!
About TwoLane's story regarding the inebriated couple. Yep, I've seen it too, although not as obviously impaired. At a local bike dealer/watering hole, I've seen folks wobble a bit as they climbed aboard, cranked up and veered out of the parking lot. I'm generally the only one there drinking tea or coke as I just won't drink and ride, but plenty do. All the police would have to do to generate a whole lot of tickets is stake out the road in front of this place on a pretty Saturday evening, and stop riders as they left. It would bring a big cry of outrage, I'm sure, but honestly, some of those folks need to sit a while before riding.
Good for TwoLane for coming up with a way to possibly save two lives...even if it did make them mad.
