Couple of points.  I was never a spooky.   Dark green helicopters.   I got laid off recently from Sikorsky.  And I suppose i'll never understand the depths of human stupidity.

I was more amused that there's a Ford Probe forum out there than the damage to the motorcycle's electronics from ill-conceived drilling.

Many a man has suffered the consequences of ill-conceived drilling.

Sorry, but I'm not connected to your intranet.  Not sure you'd want me to be connected to it in any case.

stay safe.

When I worked as an installer at Tape City USA In NO we had an installer working on an MG-B drill through the firewall into the Batt! It shorted out AND leaked acid through the firewall into the interior ruining carpet etc!

ALWAYS look on the OTHER side BEFORE drilling ANYTHING!
