back in the 70s, master link clips weren't allowed on the drag strip so we used a double winding of safety wire in the groove of the pin of the master link and left a 1/4 inch of tail on it so we could get it off easily - still do that once in a while when clip breaksI don't use any pressure when re-assembling the links so they are nice and free when finished.
As far as changing flats, the security of no masterlink outweighs the inconvenience when removing the rim to me.
Good to know when in a pinch....three important things to carry,,duck tape,,wire,and a big hammer!!!!back in the 70s, master link clips weren't allowed on the drag strip so we used a double winding of safety wire in the groove of the pin of the master link and left a 1/4 inch of tail on it so we could get it off easily - still do that once in a while when clip breaks

I'm sure it's odd seeing a senior citizen in full protective gear and motorcycle helmet pedalling furiously up a steep hill @ 25mph.
She said she knew it was prolly illegal, but she'd let me go. The cop also said she was VERY impressed with the bike's performance, asked if it was gas engined. I told her I was enroute to work @ Child Protective Services. She let me go.
What surprised me was that throughout the encounter, she had the biggest smile I've ever seen on a cop.
Lol, too bad I'm old enough to be her grandfather.
Good story... Some female cops can be cool if treated the right way.... Well I guess any female is good when treated good....lolI got pulled over by a female cop, on the way to work.

LOL 5-7, great story and really enjoyed reading it. Some thing about motorized bicycles just seem to put officers at ease. Always kinda fun to interact with em when ridding.I got pulled over by a female cop, on the way to work.

I've had a (younger than me) police woman flirt with me years ago. I could tell she was waiting for me to make the first move. I didn't, because I was married. It did boost my ego though, and I smile whenever I think about it.Is it still manhandling if a woman does it?
I find the idea of being womanhandled kinda interesting....
Quoted for the truth.ALWAYS let the cop(s) know that you'll be reaching into your pocket for your wallet/ID.
Ask me how I know this. It almost got ugly one time.
I always carry my wallet in my front pocket. Harder to be pickpocketed.Quoted for the truth.
When I was pulled over in my Ram though, since my wallet is in my back pocket, the officer knew what I was getting. lol.
Eh, you'd carry a concealed firearm in your front pocket, wallet more likely in the back. So the cop won't have an issue with you lifting your ass you pull out something. lolI always carry my wallet in my front pocket. Harder to be pickpocketed.
Besides, my access card to my workplace parking is in my wallet. When I ride my bike to work, I simply ride directly up to the sensor, lift my leg a few inches and trigger the entry/exit gate.
