A motorbike is like a dog

Why? Well, who would have a cat if you once have owned a dog? And who would ever drive a car on a day like this if you first have enjoyed this gem of a road on a bike?
You find crazy people everywhere of course, but seriously?

If it was cold? Well, yes a little. It was just above freezing, and the open helmet made my cheeks a little cold and red. It felt a lot warmer when I drove into the tunnel further up the road, it is on a constant +6 to +10 degrees C.

There are a few more pictures in the first comment for those of you that I haven't offended too badly by this posting :-)

And for a motorbike picture we need a little motorbike music. What could be better than some Southern Rock: Whiskey Myers - Dogwood www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaDXd_5PR-s

DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM


Posted on: 1999-04-15
Description
Vehicle description: motorcycles (vn1500-j1/l) equipped with a digital fuel injection system and a vehicle-down sensor.  This feature is designed to prevent the fuel injection system from continuing to pump fuel if the motorcycle falls down, by shutting off the ignition and fuel injection pump.  During battery maintenance, the vehicle-down sensor can be dislodged from its normal mounted position.  If the sensor is out of position, the motorcycle may not start or may stall during certain driving maneuvers.

Consequence
If the sensor is not correctly installed, the engine can crank but not start or the engine could stop during certain riding situations, like leaning over in a turn.  Sudden loss of engine power could cause the operator to lose their balance resulting in injury or death.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect for proper mounting of the sensor and re-install if it is not in the correct position.  Dealers will also affix to the motorcycle frame, a warning label that provides instructions on repositioning the vehicle-down sensor after servicing the battery.

Notes
Owner notification began april 9, 1999.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact kawasaki at 1-949-770-0400.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
