No need to repent as I feel the same as you do. I can see the feature is quite useful for those that use it and love it. Like you, I have been riding for over 40 years now and just learned how to avoid the need to backup, such as steep driveways, odd parking lot configurations, and gravel / mud...

Happy February 😀

I like the mountain roads around Rainelle WV. Tons of twisties and meandering roads. I try to spend at least a night in WV just to hit as many roads as possible :cool:

Well I guess my dealer is by the book

Thread already in the forum…check it out https://www.r18forums.com/threads/recall-on-all-models-with-reverse.3500/post-47759

Congrats on the purchase. For my preferences for long, cross country rides the TC top case is a must. I added a HD touring pack rack on top of it where I usually strap a heavier, bulky coat for super cold days, added leather grip wraps to increase the size to reduce hand fatigue, and a custom...

Yes, on the staging crew with the Central Route.
