Gee, what did we do before cell phones ? How did we ever live ? You are SO discriminatory... your calls are important others not so. What about that kid in school trying to score some dope ? His call is important too. I think if somebody kills a bunch of people while talking on a cell phone whil

Nighthawk Garry I put Progressive shocks on my PC800 to lower it a little bit. They are the 412 series with spring to fit me. I would call Progressive, talk to the experts and tell him what you have and want. They were very helpful and the shock/spring setup they suggested has worked out very

You're welcome to come by Houston and ride my 650, but I gotta warn you. There's no free hotel rooms, half of those don't have power anyways, and the traffic is kind of weird right now with all the trees and debris in the streets. -Kyle -Campin in my own living room On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 9:12 P

Come by Tampa, FL and I'll let you test ride my 91 750. See if any nighthawkers are around you who would do the same, or at least give you pointers. The older hawks look more laid back with lower seats and pulled back handlebars. See what suits you better. - Original Message - Fro

Recently on the news a small town completely surrounded by Houston called West University passed a ban on cellphones during a school zone. That includes hands free. They were out there enforcing it the first few days, when noone knew any better and the city could make the maximum $$ off of it. I ha

There is a joke here. A car with a couple on board gets off the road and crashes. The guy is taken into the ambulance and cries a lot. The person in charge of him says "hey, though you seem to have some injuries, you are lucky, alive, and your wife also is in pretty good condition, in the other

Paul, Some might want to ask the same question in reverse. I.e., how much regulation can we strip away before the lack of it begins to hurt us? In the 1930's, when the stock market crashed and the great depression began, it was widely agreed that the cause was greedy speculators getting thems

The 650 nighthawk is not a bike for heavy loads. It's given for 160 kg (320 lbs) maximum load on Honda manual. When riding with my honey on the back seat, we are at more than 180 kg with equipment. Some considerable fluffs ! Too heavy... not good for safety and for comfort. And in case of accid

I whole-heartily agree that talking on a cell phone while driving can be dangerous, but where do all the regulations end?? I mean, should there be a regulation about doing your makeup while driving? Eating? Programming your radio? Scolding your kids in the backseat? Maybe we should ban all conversa

Here in France, using a cell phone in hand while driving is an offense. You pay a fine and get minus two points on your driving licence. At minus twelve points, you loose it. Riding a bike without an helmet is an offense here, even for the passenger. Though not required by law, I use gloves, a

Thanks! I now have the dial at 3 and I have adjusted the lower end of the shocks for the tightest spring possible, and I still am bottom out when riding. Other than losing weight I now think I need new rear suspension. progressive suspension has 412-4212C heavy duty suspension that seems to fit
