Why is neutral difficult to find sometimes when engine is running?

That's the enduring 'sticky plates' problem in the clutch basket. The clutch plates sit in oil and as the oil gets older it can break down leaving sticky deposits. More commonly the plates wear to a polished finish which causes then to stick together. Practice this: Engine running, clutch in, put the stationary bike in second. Brakes ON, find the clutch bite point and short rev (blip) the engine against the bite. As the revs drop, quickly pull the clutch right in and half press the gear lever. That will be neutral then!

Where did the saying '420' come from?

In 1971 a group of San Rafael High School students, called the Waldos, used to gather around 4:20pm to smoke marijuana, so "420" became the slang for signifying the time to light up. It later evolved into a term for potheads or just for the drug itself.

Coincidentally, it was Hitler's birthday. But it is an urban legend that there is any connection.

There are also rumors that 420 was a police code for a marijuana violation, but this is unproven.
