I gave a left turn light at the end of my street that my 96 750 will not trip. If traffic is light I just go straight and take a semi legal U-turn into a driveway about 100 feet from the intersection. I tend to use this approach when ever possible. I don't like running any red lights even when I can see for miles.

And I'm in Virginia. This is a big story for me! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
