What not to do
dbh
So there I was, whipping down the highway on my way to work, happy as
a clam, when all of a sudden -
hmmm. I'm running on one cylinder.
Power drops off rather dramatically at this point and I'm thinking to
myself as I twist the throttle: you're not getting good value from
that last tank of $1.38/L premium unleaded, you wasteful dummy!
So I look down and spy the problem - rear cylinder plug wire flapping
in the breeze.
Hey that's easy to fix, let's just take care of that toot sweet.
So.
I reach down ...
Shirley, another pitcher over here.
Thank ye.
Y'all know what happened. I got shocked into next week. Lightning came
out of the plug wire boot, through my left glove, up, over, and out my
right glove and into my throttle grip. I was being sent a message. My
bike was pointing out to me the kill switch handily placed right next
to my right thumb, is tailor-made for such eventualities. A device to
which I then turned in my noble pursuit of fuel economy and highway
speeds.
Click. Snick. Click - Ka Pow! <sfsf> That cleaned out the pipes,
wonder what that would have looked like at night.

When I was about 14, the mower wouldn't start, and my old man told me
to grab ahold of the plug while he pulled the rope to see if it was
getting any spark. Of course it shocked the shit out of me, and dad
thought that was funny as hell. I on the other hand saw very little
humor in the situation.
But here I am, 40 years later, laughing like hell at your story. Glad
you're ok, and I'm glad I got a twisted sense of humor from him. He's
been gone for a few years now, but your story brought back long
forgotton memories.
George, a round for the house please.

could ride the few mile to work and let mom have the car.

Sounds like my dad and the first time I ever saw an electric fence......
Greasy Rider
so and mowing the grass with a power mower. I spot a big fat
grasshopper in the dewy grass and decide to introduce him to
electricity. Leaving the mower idling I scoop up the 'hopper and touch
his head to the spark plug. Blue flame shot down the dew coating and
into my innocent fingers. He hopped away and I endured a giant head
ache for the rest of the day.
Ride safe!
Greasy Rider
What me worry?
Thanks for the High Life.
Glad yer ok. I did the same thing one day...minus the shock. without
thinking, I reached down and gave the boot a twist and shove on the
plug. Thought to myself afterwards, you dumb fuck you got off lucky.
We used to ask dweebs in high school to check that wire on the fender.
Oh, guess it's working ok! <g>

Hey Darcy,
Nice to hear from ya, even though it was a shocking tale!
Last time this happened to me the plug was completely out, so I
stopped, turned off the ignition and attempted to screw it back in.
What the Hell, there weren't any threads left-completely stripped.
Had to heli-coil it. Had just returned from a 6000 mile trip-first
ride after I returned.

Oh yeah. The fun fizzled fast this afternoon.
This tale has taken a new and disturbing twist. After work I
checked the plug wire, hopped on and fired her up, only to have it die
immediately.
Then refuse to start. No spark, at all. Either plug. So there I was
nothing to do but put on a dumbfounded look. Wiggled a few wires.
All the lectrics are squirreled away in the sensors and modules.
I checked my fuses and breakers and connectors and plug wires and
the center of the earth post. Found the diagnostic plug and read out
the codes. There was only one: 41, crank position sensor.
I checked all my pockets and found I did not have one on me.
I unplugged and replugged the module cables, rocked my kill switch a
few times,
etc
etc
Finally called for a tow. Just got home about an hr ago.
My ride has let me down. It rode home in shame, perched on the flat
bed
like a thief on his way to the stockade.
I'll get it running again eventually - how hard can it possibly be?
If it looks like it's going to take some money, my riding will be
curtailed until
said cash accumulates. Until then - it looks like the cage for me.
Harrumph.
Another round while I commiserate with my friends here.
Hey Snarl - might not have to put with my sorry ass for a little while
more. I had planned
a ride earlier this month but things kinda got put on hold. My future
looks cloudy.
PB, you AH you, nice to hear you and momma been out doing some riding.
That's
what I need, too.
And all you others round the table here - thanks for the comments.

the other high schooler that worked with me got a little cocky and grabbed
the spark plug wire from the tester, and poked it at me like he was gonna

The asshole auto shop teacher at my high shool used that machine to punish

session" while banging a lawn mower crankshaft on his podium, the class was
the jury and the defendant (often me) was always found guilty. *Zot*. He'd
arrange shit like cut the class into two teams and have us tear apart and
reassemble something, a rear brake or something. Losing team got lined up
holding hands and plugged into the machine. I knew enough to know, don't be
the guy at the end of the line. His teaching career ended a few years after
I graduated when he plugged a kid with a heart condition into the machine.
The kid lived, the teachers career was the only fatality.

Oh? _Now_ you tell me?
I got the front pushrods of the evo in the wrong tubes after a repair
job I did a week ago. Stupid, yeah. Especially since I measured twice
and cut once. I had everything all laid out the way it goes in, or so
I thought. Even looked it up on nightrider a couple of times to be
sure. Don't know how in the fuck, I managed to still fuck that up, but
I digress.
The bike was only firing on one cylinder, but I didn't know which, so
I reached down and pulled a plug wire. Coil was working. Funny thing
though, the shock seemed pretty tame to me. Nothing like the electric
fence, or the light fixture over the kitchen sink. <sfsf>

Did you know that a bent exhaust pushrod can be hammered back into
shape and shoved into the tube? Works like a champ. Gotta love a
Harley.

Mine was similar, but probably different from your experience. ;-)

it and still am wary of electric fences!

My intro to electric fences was when I was a chainman on a survey crew.
The surveyor said take a blade of grass and hold it onto the wire
for a while. It's not constantly electrified; the high voltage comes
in pulses a second or so apart. The grass blade acts as a resistor.
With about 6" of dry grass all I felt was a slight tingle.

Yep. Still seems new to me. '99 FXDS bought in Oct. '98
Original crank position, MAP, cam position, bank angle sensors + SE
6200 rpm module
Plus loads of mods. Most recently S&S 510G cams this spring.
I'll be checking the sensors and their wiring and connectors next.
Probably rubbed through
somewhere. There's 176,000 km on the "old" girl, some fairly rough.

So's I goes back there and what do I see? Th' oldest boy, about 5-6
yrs old, with his pants around his ankles, face side up against th'
fence, screamin' bloody murder. It was an old Cedar fence, no
'lectricity was involved.
Heh, heh, heh, th' little shit had stuck his dick through a knot hole
to pee on th' rooster. Well, th' rooster saw a worm and decided it
was time fer a snack. It was a pretty determined rooster. As soon as
I stopped laughin' th' rooster let go and th' kid, newly released,
tried to run away. Remember his pants were down around his ankles?
After I stopped laughin' he pulled up trou and found Mom, who wasn't
laughing. I swear that rooster gave me a wink. Pretty sure th' kid
never tried to pee onna rooster again.

He waited until you stopped laughing to pull his pants up? That probably
took a week.

Got a complete (free) computer analysis of my water......all the chemicals are
fine, no organics in the water.....frikkin minerals are off the charts. It's
been rather warm so far this summer and when the water evaporates it leaves all
the minerals.
Pool company told me to drain my pool last year and I didn't.......too hot to do
it now, frikkin pool walls will heat up and crack. Just have to put up with it
until Sept/Oct sometime when it cools down.
It's OK to swim in, water's just cloudy and looks nasty is all......and the

Hey, now, wait a minnit. Sometimes you're just holding it together by a
thread and when you get to someone you love, you can let go. Ask CrowDog
about his birthday one year when I and my bike had a slight altercation
with the rear fender of an old lady's Buick. I held it together until I
got home and I sobbed to him, "I fucked up your birthday... Waaaaaaaaah"
8-)
I did go the emergency room later when I couldn't stand up straight any
longer. They were just a big worried about the impact to my sternum.

Yeah....he replied to my complaint to the Better Business Bureau saying it was
my responsibility to fill out the extended warranty cancellation form and send
it in.....and he sent them a copy of the form I filled out (late).
BBB folks chuckled a bit when I pointed out that the form he's supplied had come
from his files, not mine....and that on the second line of the form in BOLD
letters was the statement "To Be Completed By Dealer"........
Haven't heard back from him.
I wasn't looking for a full refund, I was 3 years into a 5 year warranty on a
bike I was trading in......just wanted my pro-rated refund. Probably a couple
hundred bucks at most.
They dug in their heels and said no way Jose........I told them it was kinda
crappy of them since I'd bought 2 bikes from them in 3 years (for a tad over
$46K) and how big a deal could a couple hundred bucks be to keep a customer??
His entire defense of this has been that "he's been a dealer for 30 years and
doesn't owe me anything"......
On my end I had to remind him that as a 30 year dealer I shouldn't have had to
remind his people to payoff my last trade in (which they then had to refund me
$$ cause I was still paying for it even after I traded it in) a month after I'd
signed it over to them...and I shouldn't have had to drive over to his place 3
weeks after I bought my bike to get them to pull my file, take out the $12K
check I gave them for a down payment, and then have them run it over to the bank
and cash the damn thing.
So MANY things went wrong from an administrative standpoint on the deal, but he
says it's my fault his people didn't pull the extended warranty cancellation
form out of their files, fill it out, and submit it to corporate.
Since this thing started I joined the HOG group at a different dealership (Buddy
Stubbs) and take all my business (what little there is of it) over there. Glad I
did...not only is BrianB one of the chapter officers over there, but ran into a
couple guys/friends I was in the Navy and in Vietnam with back in the day. I
didn't even know they lived here.....much less ride.
I don;t talk shit about Hacienda Harley, but I don't mind telling anyone who
asks what happened. Seems like a lot of people ask <sfsf>.....

Phhht......
I don't do bottled water any more, the bottles are made of
plastic/petrochemicals and the distribution costs in terms of energy used is
frikkin horrendous.
Besides.....we started talking about it one day and realized how much money we
were spending on bottled water and cringed.
I have become a great believer in water filter stuff......I've got a Brita water
pitcher, it filters the water just as good as Desani or Aquafina
Water pitcher and filter ran $9 or so, filters last 2 months, and I buy a pack
of 5 filters for $15.

What kinda camera did you have 30 years ago? I think we had a Kodak
polaroid, but usually couldn't afford film back then. I did take a
bunch of pics of th' kids cryin', snot drippin' down their faces,
poopin' in th' tub... you know, th' usual fambly stuff. Some of those
ended up in their senior pics collection that th' high school does

My BP was starting to go up (even though I've been on meds for years), doc
started looking at my diet. She saw that I was drinking Gatorade like it was
going outa style......full of sodium.
Switched over to Crystal Light. No salt, no sugar.....not only did my BP come
back down....but I dipped below 200 pounds for the first time in a couple decades.

Unfortunately for me (so far anyway) it's not turning out to be that
simple. Still waiting for more tests. Can't go play with the tigers
