I know it. I just never got around to fixing it. I could change all 4 plugs in that bike in 10 minutes. Took me 2 days to do the 2 plugs in the Buell the first time.

Anything else I might now but am forgetting, that you might be implying?
nope, just stuff like that

Why, what were YOU thinking?

I hardly ever know or even wonder what gear I'm in.

Yes, knowing what gear you're in is nice sometimes.... but knowing what your RPMs are is much more important.
