You can reduce and sometimes even eliminate mirror vibration by just squeezing very hard on the handlebar grip by the mirror you are looking at. I know that most of you already know this but to those that don't it is very effective. At 3,000 rpms on the ULY motor the mirrors can be rock steady crystal clear with this squeeze method. It is a good hand workout also.

Unfortunately, it DOES have some side effects.

Inadvertent "masculinity" removal. Sad really.

I thought that what finally got old Popeye was an overdose of extra virgin olive oil.

I heard it was an overdose of Viagra while alone on his boat!

Why would he overdose on vitamin V while alone? Was he also taking a nitrate medication
(this causes instant death)?

You'll notice that, judging by the forearm symmetry, he was apparently quite adept at "switching off".
