Re: Motorcycle Thread
Jeff, shouldn't you be working and not cruising Reddit or Imgur like the rest of your students?

I'm feeling your pain Matt.......... Still trying to get my Harley sorted out and I have $4K tied up plus another $500 in parts. The battery, voltage regulator and generator fried so I replaced all that and cleaned up the wiring........ Then the coil fried so I replaced that and wired in a new ignition switch. Now I'm dealing with a surging / backfire issue. Last weekend I was doing a low speed turn in a parking lot....... it surged and I came very close to dumping it  (funky handling at low speed due to the rake).
Still can't touch my Nighthawk because DMV wants $539 in back fees and it's been just over 10 years since the registration expired..... I refuse to tie any money up until it drops out of the system.......

yeah, maybe after I get the bug back on the road regularly, I'll dig into the bike again.. My dad and another buddy pointed me in a couple of directions registration wise.. one referenced a CVC that states that DMV can waive fees if it's plausible that the new owner didn't know about them before purchase, the other is a guy who haggled with his local DMV a couple of times, then wrote a letter to the commissioner in Sacramento.. both got their bills reduced..
