And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

When you hate your taillight enough to just grind it off
Sportys are good stuff. I bought a '82 Sporty when I was 19 and am still riding it. I have concern with oil being pumped to the motor properly when it is running at that angle. -Snakepit
Drag racing wheel standers used magnesium like that on the pads of the wheelie bars. Threw sparks all over and started fires at tracks with dry grass. Before their second pass, the local fire department would drive down the track and water down the grass that hadn't burned along both sides.
When I was being tailgated back I the 80's, I used to reach my left foot back to the center stand crank, and shove it down to the macadam. The shower of sparks almost always caused the offending car to back off.
Meh, it's a Sportster anyway so who cares?
