I'm thinking about getting a Harley, but wasn't sure if there was such a thing as chick bikes like there are chick cars.

I've noticed something on my recent rides that surprised me a bit. You know how if you're on a sport bike, Harley riders won't wave at you, or wave back? Well I've noticed two things:

Lots of other people won't wave back as well
People wearing full face helmets riding cruisers WILL wave back

Now that I think about it, it seems that people wearing full face helmets will wave back whether they're riding a sport bike or cruiser or whatever...but I cannot remember ever having been waved at by someone in an open face helmet.

Granted Harley riders and open face helmet wearers overlap as groups, but this is still my observation.

What's the deal? Is the same kind of insecure image problem that forces someone to wear an inferior helmet (it just doesn't protect you as much, you clods) also lead to an image problem with waving to other riders?

"Oh shoot, I don't want other people to see this and think I'm some kind of pansy who waves at people."

?

Let me ask you guys this, on a fully functional car air conditioning system, the more freon you put in the cars system, does this mean it should blow colder air into the cabin? Or does the amount of freon not really mean much? Thanks...

I drive a Toyota RAV4, and for the past few days my headlights won't turn off (even though it's in the off position). I have to pull the fuse when I want my lights off. Has this happened to anyone else before? And what may be the cause?

I've got a '95 Ford Taurus that I'm trying to keep alive through the summer till I can afford a new car.

The problem that has crept up lately is that the wheel shakes back and forth as I drive. Could this be the Tie Rods? Would this be worth fixing on a car that is only worth about a thousand dollars?

I was behind the car I wasn't really paying attention because I was a little drowsy and the car moved and the hit the rear bumper and it wasn't really a big deal like major damage but my car hood is bent a little from the left side and the grill is bent a little also. I didn't call the police because the other car had no damage to it done. So what should I do? Should I report the minor accident or should I leave it the way it is? If I do report it will my insurace rate go up because of this little collision ? Or should I take it to a car shop and have them fix the hood ? The car isn't mine what am I going to tell my mom about her car should I tell her the truth?

My son has a 1996 Taurus & after putting in a new battery, the brake lights no longer work. (The battery is the correct one, according to the manual.) The turn signals, which are on the same fuse, do. What the heck could be the matter here? Could this be a wiring issue?
