If I don't hold my bike up at a stop it falls on its side????? It's like there is an invisible force.

If I turn my handlebars to one side the bike wants to lean to the other - really weird????

Nope not weird. Your smiling because you have a windsheild to keep the bugs out of your teeth.

Ever notice how the first bug to hit a clean windshield will always hit in your direct line of sight?

Ever notice how your odds of getting caught in the rain are directly proportional to how many hours you just spent detailing your ride and how far away you are from your rainsuit?

Maybe we should check to see if there's a TSB out on our bikes regarding falling over at a stop? Maybe we missed a recall ;-)

My buddy has a Street Glide and the bugs only hit the right side of his exhaust, the left side is always clean.
This is some weirdness.
What,s going on here.
That's kinda funny...my left pant leg does the same thing! Hhhmmm...

I smile when I ride, but not too big. Don't like picking the bugs outta my teeth.
