    2021 R18 First Edition for sale

    IMO, some people act too quickly in making decisions of this nature. I have owned many bikes in my time, and looking back there was always something I liked about them. In short, like pizza, I like *most* if not all motorcycles, I just like some more then others for different reasons...

    'Waiting on supplies'? WTH is that? Lube? What kind of lube is it that makes it so unique?

    Gas question

    AAAAAAA-men! I run 93 octane but with a fuel additive to neutralize the ill effects of ethanol and my 18 runs very strong with it.

    Gas question

    What I don't understand, at least with what I've experienced, cars designed to run or tolerate E85, of which is cheaper, get poorer fuel mileage then they do running gasoline with less or no ethanol. What then is the advantage?

    Tire Pressure

    Tires and their inflated pressures are EVERYTHING....Makes a huge difference in how the bike handles. I follow the manuals spec very closely.

    Installed! DNA Air Filter with DNA Frame **Thoughts**

    Hey, lol, sorry it took me so long to respond. Haven't been here is awhile. Anyway, the air box is beneath the fuel tank in the engine's housing. Pretty simple to get at it. There's two screws on each two 1800cc emblems.... Remove the emblems in which will give you access to screws on either...

    *Club* membership is completely irrelevant to me and quite frankly, lame. ICGAF about being a part of any socially appreciative *perceived* (subjective) norm of society. F that..weak. That is one reason why I never bought a Harley, aside from my observation of their dated design, and overpriced...

    News like this makes me think of selling this bike. I love it, and it was allot of bike for the money, but I don't really trust it, and this service BS is just stupid. I DO NOT like being indirectly bullied to use their dealer network. I am fing PISSED that you still cannot get a service manual...

    Engines and the future

    Well written...and agree.. At work yesterday, wrenching on diesel burning trucks that plow snow on state hwys, with their laughable DEF system..I thought the very same thing while throwing a plastic water bottle into the trash I had just drained... We're the only species out of thousands on this...

    Alas, a new HD reality has arisen...

    It's called 'rideshare'! These three were so hellbent on buying a brand new Road Glide instead of 3 bikes they could afford, they decided to purchase it together in thirds...lmao...

    BMW Illegally telling dealers that...

    If you do not use their branded oil, and there's an engine issue under warranty, they will not honor it. I was told this by a dealer in Milwaukee, Wi. What sez U?
