(1) Place of birth: Los Angeles, California

Six houses on my block are for sale! Wish you could live next door, you probably wouldn't decide to tune up your motorcycle outside my bedroom window at 2am twice a week....

For some reason Harley Guys don't trust their Milwaukee Vibrators. Because of this lack of trust they must start them up at all hours of the day and night to insure they operate properly. These test usually consist of static high revving of the engine, hard acceleration runs up and down the street, and if there are multiple Harley Guys performing the tests, lots of laughing, yelling and swearing. The testing is usually preceded by the consumption of large quantities of beer. The containers will be deposited hither and yon.

These continual tests are understandable as the manufacturer operates under a policy of, "If it sticks out, chrome it, if it breaks, make it heavier."

And this is a bad thing?




Yes, I do fire it up at all hours of the early morning. Of course, I'm either going to work at the Giant Rodent or coming home from there. At 98 miles round trip, you can be sure that 2 wheels makes it affordable to work as a CM.
