Has anyone else noticed the forum software's propensity to double post, lately?

Actually I think that was my doing, Rob. I did a bit of editing on that post trying to make it perfect. The posts are a little different. I prefer the last one I think.

Or were you being cleverly facetious? If so I wish I had created some clever wise-ass response.

No Ken, I noticed it on one of the new guys posts a few days ago, and then I found myself doing it a couple of days ago. I thought it was my flaky cheepo wireless keyboard, or my equally cheepo CPU. (fecking windoz 8)

Omigod! You mean that might have been some kin d of computer error and not me making some dumb neophyte upward fornication? Why that means I might be more adept with this computer stuff than I thought! What a relief. Sometimes I'll say something stupid too. I wonder if there's a connection.

I do this often to get a general sense of the state of balance. I also use a piece of acoustic foam to baffle one side at a time so I can hear more subtle differences between the two.

I also sometimes place a hand on each header pipe on cold start up to see if both cylinders are warming equally, which also helps identify if one cylinder isn't pulling its weight.

Again, none of this replaces vacuum gauges for me, but it all works together to indicate if there's an issue..

Is there any other way of talking on a motorcycle forum?

Yes. Maybe not in terms of generating sound pressure waves, but as an exercise of poetic license, yes.

Poetic license? As in Haiku? Like this?
