    I had a Victory V92TC that had the instrument pod in the headlight. Many days I wish I still had that bike.

    R18 Transcontinental Outdoor Cover

    In my experience, using a simple cover for that.long can problematic as it can trap moisture. Okay temporarily, but not long term. Maybe something like this... The Bike Shield Tourer (Large) Motorcycle Cover Shelter Storage Tent Garage https://a.co/d/2lEICrx

    Huh...learn something new everyday... I thought the Roctane was just a B model with a different front end. I guess not. The Roctane is still very cool. The instrument pod in the headlight is just classic.

    Not the GS. I did the Can Am Pulse electric and the Honda Africa Twin DCT. Both were surprisingly good. Still having a lot of trouble with my left knee, so the electric and the DCT were pretty helpful. Most of the European bikes still want to fold you into a crouching tiger position that I just...

    Closing the loop...they did, in fact, have to update the ECU. I was told an untruth on the phone. Total job took 5 hours. At least I got to test ride a couple of bikes in that time.

    Question Album Artwork?

    Spotify does not display the artwork. As far as controls, it really only allows me to start and stop a playlist previous selected on the phone. It's essentially nothing but a Bluetooth aux input when used with Spotify.

    Question Album Artwork?

    Nope. I've been beaten into submission by the BMW software. Inconsistent functionality is just a fact of owning one of these bikes.

    Can Am Electric

    I'm fairly power train agnostic. Which ever powerplant delivers the best experience is good with me. I enjoy the R18 for the experience it provides. This doesn't mean I can't appreciate other experiences. The electric bikes provide the low end torque of the R18 without the bulk. Around town in...

    Can Am Electric

    While waiting for the shop to complete the reverse recall repair, I test rode a Can Am Electric motorcycle. That thing was a blast!!! I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but I was very surprised. It had plenty of power and regen at the throttle could be used to brake. If they could make one...

    Interstate Highway Imperfections.....Kaboom

    Co-rup-shun. Process for bidding and funding infrastructure is on par with trash collection in New Jersey. Contractors are not held accountable for sub par work.

    Interstate Highway Imperfections.....Kaboom

    The Vic sets a high bar. I'm sure the TC rides better than it's HD counterparts, but it's certainly a lot rougher than the Vision. Coastal roads in SC are very rough and I take a bit of a beating riding down US17 south of Charleston.

    Interstate Highway Imperfections.....Kaboom

    Just needs to be engineered for it's environment. My Victory Visions rides like a dream even on rough roads. My TC rides like a truck in comparison. My friends HDs are essentially unrideable on washboard roads.

    I never had my reverse disabled and the original functions just fine. I wonder if that makes a difference in how the repair is done?

    Interstate Highway Imperfections.....Kaboom

    Interstate highways in the US southeast are just dangerous. Never ride them unless no other option. At any given time, there are long stretches of road construction littered with various debris and holes. Accidents and traffic jams usually result on longer trip times. Nothing like sitting in...

    I'm just telling you what the dealer said. It was my understanding that an ECU update is an overnight job. They only plan to keep it 2 hours.

    Reverse

    I have mine scheduled for the reverse module fix and they told me no ECU update is necessary. Only scheduled for a two hour job. I have not had any ECU updates since I purchased the bike in 2023.

    Knee replacement

    Thanks! The NT1100 looks exactly like something I would be interested in.

    Knee replacement

    I was talking to my HD riding friend and he said HD is going to start selling the HD branded prosthetics at the dealer. He said they're calling them "jiffy stands"

    Knee replacement

    Thank God it's not a shoulder issue. I know that is one of the most painful prosthetics..
