I was feeling nostalgic today.... looked back in the old threads and noted I did my dna stg2 filter, lid and snorkle removal work back in Aug 2023.....

When shopping their web site they don't seem to offer any options for the heavier Harley (street or road glides etc) or Indian cruisers...... just their lighter bikes.

Cool. I struggle to use any ride mode other than rock..... my 100% "on the game" auto reflexes are fine tuned/calibrated to the one everyday feel you get programed into ones biological nerve/reflex system....eg... I would be at more risk doing a tight U turn in the wet in rain mode then I...

Haha.... I had to google to find it.... these days there are so many words for fxxked up.

Maybe his R18 is suffering from therianthropy..... of a sort.

Only people with diplopia got 2 fobs. Generally they don't post here (most crashed on the ride home from picking up their bike).

The wife.... there is always one more good idea.

The issue isn't why others haven't seen the light.... it's more about how the enlighten limit themselves to just one.

Played a bit..... some carbon fibre bits arrived... trying to decide where to from here.... I added some mesh to keep sea snakes out (sea rise "expert" forecasts from the 1980s).... the snakes must be hiding somewhere... anyway.... prefer the chrome. Maybe these on the heads will...

Fun fact, all BMW clutches start out as dry clutches.

+20 wilbers.... size does matter.... don't believe the little people.

The weight of it will be interesting..... r9t is 220kg wet... if this is a 280kg lump it will loose something.... rocket is 320kg wet. If the 20 was 240kg wet it would be well positioned.

In Aussie land, I go this Penrite after I have 10,000kms on the motor:... so after warranty for the most part. Normally buy it 40% off around the boxing day sales. It's marketed a bit along the lines of "factory racing" but unlike the Motul V it has the appropriate additives for road use...

To old for that..... hacksaw'n file kinda guy.
