    Hit by Driver Who Ran Red

    She didn't flee the scene. But she did run the red light.

    Hit by Driver Who Ran Red

    Got hit by a red-light running driver Saturday. Effectively 90 degree impact on my right side. Multiple witnesses confirmed she ran red and I have dash cam footage to boot. Was in hospital ER for about 8 hours. Serious injury to my left wrist from high-siding and hitting asphalt. Several other...

    New WSJ article on H/D; very interesting....

    Oh, I also found it hilarious that you can find a HD store in Venice, Italy. No motor vehicles of any kind allowed in that city except for boats. Even bicycles are prohibited.

    New WSJ article on H/D; very interesting....

    Very first bike I owned was a Harley Iron 888. New from dealer. Somewhere around 2014 or so. Will likely never buy a Harley given the shitty experience I had buying the bike. Was not a "new rider friendly" type of experience. I was tempted to get a Softail Slim S after I had built up enough...

    TC / Bagger phone plug?

    The bigger issue I have with the phone cradle no one here has mentioned yet is the vibration from the engine can damage your phone's camera. It did this to mine. I will say that can depend on how vigorously you ride. But any sort of modification to the unit here should incorporate at least some...

    Brand and tire life on the R18

    As I have stated in other threads, make sure if you replace your tires with Michelin Commander IIIs you get the correct version. There is a Touring and a Cruiser variant of the Commander IIIs. The Touring version appears better suited for the Bagger and TC models.

    My $23,000 Boat Anchor thanks BMW

    Couple things that don't add up here, or at very least need to be explained. First, I am going to assume that if the bike was bought from a licensed BMW dealership, and you bought the bike in the city of Modesto, that means this bike was purchased at BMW Motorcycles of Modesto. Outside of a...

    Michelin commander III poor in wet ?

    Its less of a noise and more of a "feel." I have yet to try some of the suggestions above given the poor weather lately but will do so and report back.

    Michelin commander III poor in wet ?

    Just did an 800+ mile round trip through California on new Michelin Commander 3 touring tires on my R18B. Tires are both Q3 2023 production. Can safely say bike had no issues at speed (3500 RPM in 6th gear). Was as smooth, if not smoother, than the stock Bridgestones my bike came with. Bike has...

    Michelin commander III poor in wet ?

    Hadn't seen anyone mention either that the Commander 3's come in two types - Touring and Cruiser. For the B or TC, you will probably want to go with the Touring. For the Pure/Classic, you will probably want the Cruiser. Fortnine discussing Commander 3-

    Anyone installed quadlock on their bagger?

    Whatever you do I highly suggest a vibration dampening module to avoid damaging the phone's camera during riding. Quadlock's in particular. I use an SP Connect clutch mount (https://sp-connect.com/collections/mounts/products/clutch-mount-pro) with their wireless charger vibration damping...

    Innovv dash cam

    Some pics of the install. I had to move the front camera which I originally intended to mount on the front turn signal, but turning the handlebars pulled the cable. Instead, I mounted the camera just above the remote unit (no pic yet). There is a t25 bolt under the windshield just above the...
