OMR and Larrycavan are just trouble makers..


Naiveté in grownups is often charming, but when coupled with vanity, it is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Tis better to remain silent and thought a fool - than to speak up and remove all doubt.
Did ever think that maybe you've been doing it wrong all these years?

Hey Keith,
I have a multi meter. Where do I start? I'm pretty novice with this KZ (electrical stuff). I did all the service on my other bikes, fluid changes, cable adjustment things like that. I'm sure with a little guidiance I can get it running like new.

Hey Folks,
You know Ole WG once wished that that parallel wiring "fix" had never become known as his. Apparently, he did not invent it but just applied it and liked the result.
Personally, I've always thought it was nothing more than a shortcut/band aid.
Tony and I have no issue with members saying something doesn't work. We'd just prefer that the something doesn't become the other member.
Frank, civil, criticisms will never provoke an edit on our part. WG used to be a regular poster here, I wonder how things might have been different had the thrashings he received here been more objective.
I don't want to start a thread about WG. I just want to be sure our (the mods) position is understood.
