I was riding to work yesterday when I noticed a bump coming up in the road ahead. As I got closer, I slowed down an noticed it was a painted turtle near the double yellow line. (I wonder if anyone on a bike has ever hit a turtle? Would it disrupt the bike enough to make you go down? I...

No more lunchtime counter strike. (for now ;) )

I hooked up a passive alarm system. Brand Nady. I didn't think I needed to hook directly to the battery as some connectors had 12V even with key out. (although this may be the issue) The alarm has three wires +12V GND +12V ON (must be off when key is off) I hooked the wires under the seat...
