To paraphrase your Harley background... “Loud gears save lives...”

Another thing about the internet is: we as prospective helpers have no idea who we’re talking to, what their background is or how mechanically inclined they might be... sometimes we’re interpreted as “talking down” to someone as we try to make things as clear as we can... :oops: One more (simple) th...
