Nah! I've met Duane and even argued with him. He isn't one to be politically correct. In fact some might think him 'crusty'.daz wrote:Think about it.Major Softie wrote:OMG!

Ah! But then you haven't looked into his mind!

A Warning! R65LS: rehab bumps - The Man Canned My Machine!
Figured I would share this as a warning if nothing else.
I had my R65LS parked on a street in Brooklyn, NY a month ago.
It wasn't yet running so through the winter I moved it side to side for the street sweeper.
On March 1st the sanitation department apparently marked it as derelict, had it towed and it was supposedly destroyed within 6 hours. I came home from work, noticed it missing, called the police who told me it was towed. Called the tow company and they were closed. Called the very first thing the next morning and the bike was supposedly already destroyed.
It took anyone I talked to only about 30 seconds to know who I was from the vin. I'm retty easy to find when the city has some issue with me. I guess the sanitation couldn't care less to even try before giving the green light to crush.
Explanation was that it must have not had a plate on it.
Which wasn't the case the last time I worked on it on the Sunday two days before.
So, a few to grow on - a) plate theft is very real (the rub of this is if you velcro your plate and take it with you, better chain it to something because the city will steal it). And b) the city will impound and destroy your bike without lifting a finger to try and verify its ownership.
I'm filing a claim with the city.
One less 65LS in the world.

That sucks. Do they do that to cars, too?

They do. But damn four wheel boxes have to sit for weeks piling up tickets for them to notice.
