    boots-n-bags

    Sorry about the repeat bags pic. Don't know why it showed up twice.

    Gas question

    Never thought of that option. Seen those products before but my natural skepticism made me doubt they worked.

    boots-n-bags

    Got a nice pair of Joe Rocket boots upon which I epoxied a couple of BMW roundels. Size 10 men's regular width. Also have an unused BMW fuel bag for holding a small fuel canister. And the BMW Motorrad small case for holding the GPS face plate for a K1600. And a Fly Racing tank bag, magnetic...

    Gas question

    Would you run 89 octane ethanol-free fuel in your bike, OR 93 octane with ethanol? Those are the choices available in my area. We used to have a station that sold 93 without ethanol, but they no longer offer that. I guess I could get the 89 ethanol free and just add some octane booster to...

    Hello! Thinking of the R18C for First Bike...

    I started riding when I was 50. Started on a 250cc, then a 650, then a 1200, then a 1600, then progressed to the R-18. I don't know that you need THAT many intermediate steps, but I'm sure glad I started small until I got my confidence level up. Maybe try a 650 first, get really comfortable...

    At the risk of sounding dumber than I actually am....

    Bought a motorcycle lift ramp a month ago and tried to use it for the first time yesterday on another bike of mine (about half the size of my TC). Drove the bike onto the lowered ramp, but even lowered, it's still 6-7 inches higher than the floor. Can't put the kickstand down because it is off...

    Security - What do you do to lock up your R18

    Never occurred to me to lock up my bike. I live in a safe area and keep it in a garage.

    Windshields

    I still have a stock FE Classic windscreen in flawless condition for sale, if anyone needs a replacement. Wouldn't fit a bagger or TC.

    Transcontinental Software Version

    Yeah! Mine originally told me that I had the latest software (I have the same as you) and that no update was available.

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    When I talked to my service manager at my local dealer, I was told to have my wife look carefully at the light while the bike was running, and me in neutral, leaning the back left and right, turning the front wheel, etc. The LED bar didn't move AT ALL, so it's stuck in its current off-center...

    Transcontinental Software Version

    So I called my dealership today and had a talk with the service manager. I have an older version of the software, and when I took my bike in for the 600 mile break in service back in March, I asked him to update to the latest. He failed to do so, so I called him about it today to ask why not...

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    Adaptive headlight issue?

    So I was out at bike night at my local bar, and there was an R18 Bagger rider there. He came over to have a peek at my TC and he said "Hey, did you know your headlight is broken?" I was like 'Uhh, no, what do you mean?" He pointed out that the middle LED bar, which is for the adaptive...

    Trike...

    Just go to your local Harley dealership. Seems like the proportion of trikes they sell has risen dramatically as their demographic ages out of 2 wheel riding.
