Warming Up A Harley-Davidson Motorcycle | Motorcyclist
Question:
My next-door neighbor has a Harley. He also has the annoying habit of starting it in the driveway and letting it idle for 10 to 15 minutes before he takes off. I say annoying because his pipes rattle the windows in my house until he’s gone. I know there isn’t much chance of talking him out of the pipes—we’ve had the “loud pipes save lives” discussion before—but what can I do to convince him not to leave the bike idling for so long? I asked him about it once and all he said was, “It’s good for the bike.” Is it really? - Steve Dickens / San Ysidro, CA

Directors Ramblings – Update on Rich Lanning
Had a good visit with Rich. He has come a long way and still a ways to go but getting better. They had him on his feet (with help) today and before I left they lifted him to a chair. I managed to get a smile out of him from time to time. What they get him out of bed with looks like what they use to pull engines out of cars.
