Animal lovers (yes, there are those of us who do love the two and four legged varieties) get hit really hard right in the left ventricle, when an animal we love and have been attached to, crosses over the Rainbow Bridge.   Fast Eddie had become a veteran of this type of pain, having lost both of his dogs in a relatively short time 6 years ago. He had them both for 14 years and had to put them down 4 months apart. In Fast Eddie’s words, “It sent me into a depression,” as his dogs meant the world to him. After a visit to his doctor, he was given a prescription to fill, and a prescription for a Service Dog. Then the quest began to fill his “canine prescription” to combat the depression set in from this loss. It was thru a neighbor he found a 6-week-old Jack Russel/Yorki Poo Mix. Enter Jaxon.

Does your motorcycle have an oil pressure indicator light? Do you know what it means? It means, no oil pressure! Very bad news. Your engine could be destroyed in a matter of minutes. I would suggest you consider installing a Biker’s Choice Oil Pressure Gauge so that you know exactly how much oil pressure you have. Knowing is critical for several reasons. If your oil pressure is dropping, it’s time to investigate before the light goes on. It could also indicate a low engine oil level. Also, if the pressure drops heat climbs, another issue. Read more.
