Wired George, CMM, and the toilet... was created by Biquetoast
...I knew that title would get your attention...

:P

Anyway, I was doing my regular bathroom reading of the February issue of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics (the U.K. based mag, you know... the one run by Rod Gibson that hates Kaw twins), and I came across one of the responses in the letters section that touts Wired George's coil mod and his services...

Well done! Nice to get props, eh? All the way from the U.K. to Texas...

You're right. I got suckered in wondering what those nouns in th title possibly had in common.

Congrats, WG.

Yep.

You know, sometimes I think that Rod Gibson (editor of CMM) must be a member here... lurking...

He's quite fond of many of the old Kaws (except for my bikes, which he hates), having been a Kaw mechanic himself for years. And recently he's done a few KZ's (or Z's) in the magazine, including the Z1 they've just recently featured.

As of late he's given multiple references to Jeff and Z1enterprises.com, now Wired George... of course, these guys are members of quite a few boards, but I just get the feeling that Rod is here....

Actually, I clean my contacts and replace my switches, while on the toilet that way I've never needed a coil mod.

Alas, CMM is only sporadically locally available at B&N, and I have missed it the past several months...
