I've been riding MC's since about 1974, I still do. I've had early Brit bikes and Bultacos that had the shifter and rear brake on the opposite sides that are the norm in the USA. The E-bikes opposite brake levers are just what happens in a global world I guess. I just adapt. I think it is...

How did you pay? You may have some recourse, C/C and / or PayPal should help.

4, fits as though it was made for the purpose.

I use this for mine. They are spring clamp protectors for the jaws of the clamp. I always pull them off the clamps as they tend to slip, but they fit the connector perfectly.

He could have educated you, scolded you, written you a ticket, etc, but the apparent lack of control and his screaming at you shows me what's wrong with policing these days. Imagine where this could have gone if you had "lipped off" at him.

I ride motorcycles and get lumped in with the loud pipe, incessant revving at a stoplight Harley crowd. I've owned over 50 motorcycles over the years and never owned a Harley or any kind of modified exhaust. Whisper quiet is what I like and I treat the cage drivers with respect.

Where I live, no one gives a rats ass. I leave them alone and the public at large do likewise. I do say hi to folks and smile, etc. Not everything has to be a confrontation. Anyway, it works for me.

I had a k75 for a couple of years, and a Honda st-1100, both good bikes. I guess I've owned more than 50 bikes since the early 1970's.

I was up 13 bikes at one time, but the registration and insurance was getting too expensive. I really like guzzi's and am thinking of buying a V7 Special next. I wonder if there are any airheads in the stable. I've had lots of them. Cheers.

Do I spy a guzzi in the background?

I'm the same way. Mad dogs and Englishmen in the noon day sun. Of course I'm a native SoCal person, so I think I'm acclimated to the heat. The recent rain from Hillary brought the high temp to 65 F on Saturday, and I was a bit chilly.

I just slow way down, and pass safely without any drama. Not everything needs to be a contest or a confrontation.

Sure, noses, like opinions, everyone has one. We can always agree to disagree.

It's your equipment brother. You paid for it, and it's yours to use or abuse. Sand is indeed an abrasive and will work its way in between the chain and sprocket, bearings, etc. and just grind away, like lapping compound. Just not my cars, motorcycles and bicycles. Just how I roll.

Bike paths that run along the beach. I wouldn't run any kind of vehicle I owned in beach sand. Talk about abrasive grit, yikes.

Say what you will, but it's hard to beat living in SoCal. I'm never leaving. My beach haunt is a bit more north in Ventura, Ca. I like simple food venues over the stuffy, hoidy toidy type establishments too.

And the big difference is, if a C/F bicycle frame fails, you'll skin your knees, and if a submersible C/F hull fails at 2.5 miles below the sea at 6000 psi, well you know.

I hate noise, especially wind noise, I haven't noticed it to be much of a problem on the bicycle, but on my motorcycles it is at hearing damaging levels, even with a full face helmet on. I have been using 3M yellow foam ear plugs for 40+ years. They're cheap and can be reused until they quit...

We call it lane splitting in California, and on a motorcycle it's a legal maneuver, with certain conditions. I do it on my motorcycles, especially at a stop light, for self preservation. The last thing you want on a M/C is to be squished between two cars because the guy behind you had their...

I always give pedestrians, bicycles and motorcyclists a wide berth when passing them. It's obvious, I'm in a truck that weighs 4500 pounds or so. I treat them like I hope they will treat me when I'm on the receiving end.
