Cars & Transportation - 13 November 2006

Back when CB radios and radar detectors was the accept way to drive on Interstates, I carried them with me when I flew to another city. I did hear that detectors were illegal in California.
On my flight to Sacramento, after renting a car and getting on Interstate 5,I pulled on the shoulder and opened the bag with the CB and detector to install in the rental. As I was getting the detector out, there was a rap on my window. It was a CHP officer. I was caught red-handed, but tried to play it cool.
“Hi, officer.” Him: “Can I help you, Sir?” Me: “No…I’m just connecting my CB in this rental.” Him: “Well, that gives me a problem.” Me: “It does?” knowing I’m cooked. Him: “Yes sir, the shoulders are for emergency parking. Get back on the freeway and pull off at the next exit.”
He went to his cruiser and I pulled on the pavement staying 5 mph below the 55 limit, with him on my tail. As I got off at the exit I looked for him to follow and give me a ticket. But he didn’t. Whew!

Is it possible to modify the stock pipes to give me some more noise? I also assume it will result in adjusting the carbs, but this is my first bike and I've only worked on cars before. Any info would be appreciated.

I just bought a 2006 Shadow Spirit 750 and I want to add a few things such as windshield, backrest/seat and maybe pipes. Anyone know of a good website to find these items at reasonable prices?

I was following directions from an Edmunds website, and one paragraph said this...

The rotor is that shiny metal disc staring you in the face right now. You can almost see your reflection, right? Get your eyes level with it. If you can't see your face, or at least its general outline, it may mean that the disc needs servicing or replacement. Below, we'll show you how to check this disc for scoring or marring, and what to do about that.

If my rotor is covered in brake dust, will I still be able to see my reflection?

Does a LOT of brake dust mean its time to change my breaks?

Why are there so many ignorant people driving that don't accelerate to the appropriate speed limit while they are on the on-ramp? Don't they realize that is why they make them as long as they do, so that you have time to get up to speed BEFORE you enter the freeway? This really frustrates me. (Can you tell I have just been out driving with these idiots?) I know this bothers other people, too. Any other driving pet peeves anyone wants to get off their chest?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
