Durn Scott! I'm afraid you done reached Top Cat status much too early for a young man of your age.
You just a boy. A boy your age shouldn't say such things. For long the Hog's gonna be dust covered sitting in the shed, and you'll be a crotchety, wrinkled up frail old man in a rocking chair on the front porch trying to sell it for what a brand new one cost, if you don't mend your ways. You can thank me later should you heed my advice. By the by, what's the best motor oil to use in the Nomad? Are Car Tires safe to run on a bike?

Most of them are answered on Gadget's site as well.
Can't blame the newbies as they are just excited to have access to the wealth of knowledge. Maybe the answer is utilizing the "stickys" or having one forum that is headlined " Newbies...here are 25 answers to the top 25 questions? " I wonder how simple it would be to create ?

Or just a sticky suggesting to read their owner's manual.

Good points by everyone. Scott is right but having only been on here a year or so myself, I can still relate to the new guy's questions but also their being brave enough to step out there and throw out a question that even though may be answered before is kind of an introduction after their noob page intro. As many great guys are on here just think of how many have moved on and taken their knowledge with them.
We owe an incredible debt to you old school Kawanow guys and the questions may be redundant but have patience, some of the guys asking about tires and oil today will someday be the BD's, CJ's, Jareds, Norms, Rings, Rastas, and even Tripps,.. and heaven help us there may even be a new Kawhead out there somewhere lurking, too afraid to ask his first question as he is hiding the Sasquatch he captured in his basement...

This isn't a Goldwing forum, not everyone here is retired. I still work for a living.

I thank daddy throwed that thing out across the yard over the fence. Last I heard the man next door was using it for a water bowl for his dawgs.

Just putting that out there in case anybody needs to know . Kawhead is Coach's doings. I think he was gonna approach Kawgirl with it, but common sense and thin air convinced him she'd scratch that hideous head clean off even with his shoulders. So he MADE me take it. He's got a bad habit of making me do stuff. I'm glad we ain't locked up together in a federal penitentiary. I can only imagine things he'd be making me do in there over and over. I imagine about it too much some would say.
