I have just removed the huge ugly reflectors from the front forks. Any suggestions on how to remove the two sided tape remnants while still leaving my thumbnails somewhat intact? Thanks in advance

Kerosene removes tape residue pretty good.

Goo Gone or Sticker Off works for me. I heated mine with a hair dryer before I pulled them off, just left a couple small pieces on the forks.

I used a fresh razor blade. In hindsight WD40 works pretty well. As well as lighter fluid. No, the razor blade didn't scratch the fork legs. :devil:

I use WD-40 to detail most of my bike and it works great on stickers too.

Nope. But the same government that does not require such things, also taxes your fuel many times as much as here.

That sure is true.....

We pay approx 1.77 $ per litre....(How many litres are a gallon??)

And we have got much bigger licence plates on our bikes......

B U T

We also have the Autobahn without any speed limit..... ;D ;D ;D

Oh. I guess they won`t change that to fast.

First of all we have a strong automobile lobby here ( you know German cars?)

And the second reason is that we want to keep at least one attraction for you American tourists..... ;D

But the faster you go the more squirrels you kill, and they tell me once you pass the ton, if you listen real hard you can hear a tree die. :jerkit:
