Jim...welcome ...and you know what they say about going black?? Heck, ride the dam thing. I've rode the heck out of mine knowing there is a switch problem, and so have thousands of other owners, but I am not concerned. I get my new switch next week anyway and I am riding the bike 80 miles to the dealer to get the work done.
Life's too short to worry about what MAY happen. At least that's the way I see it. If I worried about MAY, I sure wouldn't be on a motorcycle.
Welcome to the forum...grow a thick skin...expect a few rocks here and there to hit you...welcome the attack...piss, moan, and whine a little, then throw it right back in a most mature, professional, and semi-respectful way. Most of us are over the half century mark in age anyway, so the young snappers on the forum bounce off like soft lead bullets hittin' a hard *** steel plate.
Ride safe and assume EVERYONE around you on the road is going to do something stupid and unexpected. Watch those intersections and left turners...and for heaven's sake, stay out of the blind spots!!
