Me either, but I have ridden it with a spark plug removed a couple times. Once it was because the spark plug and the insert forceably separated from the bike while I was riding it.
If you hear a funny noise and notice that one of your plugs is "dancing", I suggest you pull over immediately if possible.

If you hear a funny noise and look down and see your cylinder "dancing", I suggest you pull over immediately whether it is possible or not.
I carry a 14mm wrench now JIC. (I know, brain fade)
Oh, and Jeff, you're just plain mean. We got buried here in Ohio with near record snow fall and I can't get any thing out.

It has been a beautiful day in Santa Cruz, too! Rode my black R52 25 miles to have coffee with a friend. Didn't miss a beat and cruised easily at 35 mph through the redwoods. What fun!

Where are our pictures of the Bingham sidecar

Argh! I had taken a bunch of digi pics and can find nary a one. Sidecar has since been disassembled and hung up in teeny garage to make room.

Your R52 looks great and your weather last weekend was definitely better than in Milan........but I think that grin on your face would be bigger if you were dressed appropriately for your bike.
ciao,
