I called the shop, they had no idea. They called a mutual friend, who is NOT a mechanic, he called me and asked what was the last thing I did to the bike. I said the gas caps. He said take one off, it started. I didn't have vented caps. Now I know. There are no mistakes, only learning. If Hawg Man hadn't had his experience, JKen wouldn't have his. At least not as soon as he did. No one is an idiot, we are all just learning as we go.
Geez, Payloader - the idiot comment was made as a joke.
And I would HOPE he took it as such.
Your gas cap story reminds me of yet another time I made a similar mistake, only mine was on a cage.
Were you an idiot for it?
NO - of course not.
Was I?
Well, I guess my answer to that would depend on whether or not you're gonna accuse me of offending myself if I call myself an idiot for what I did.
Come on, we're all bud's here - and if we can't poke a little fun every now and again.................

No offense taken Hawg Man. I'm just glad there is this type of forum to go to if you have a problem or question. I was on here a couple years ago for something and someone solved my problem. No dought I'll be back again. Have a good holiday.

I wasn't coming down on anyone, or saying that anyone might be offended. I believe that if a person calls themselves an idiot, after time they will start to believe that about themselves. We throw those words about too flippantly, without any thought of how much power they really have. A little too heavy for a thread about handlebar risers, I know. I apologize.
