Twice so far while in a store I've had guys come up and ask if it was cool if they came outside with and listened to me start up my Ducati Monster. Def why I got a bike.

I've had girls like my sumo but then they went on to call it a 'dirt bike', sorry but the KTM LC4 engine with its amazing 75 HP elevates this thing way past dirt bike status.

Communist Walrus posted:Who I imagined myself meeting when I got my scooter: They exist. I was in the city years back when I found myself standing at an intersection waiting for the pedestrian crossing lights to turn green. A woman built from the same mold as the one quoted was on a scooter, stopped at the lights in a very stylish tight skirt and heels. Unfortunately she'd not planned her ensemble well. She realized her error when she came to a stop and had to put her foot down. The very fashionable skirt did what it does and rode up and exposed more very shapely leg. She tried (in vain) to pull it down so the small crowd standing with me waiting to cross the road couldn't see, but all it did was draw further attention to herself and her embarrassment. Then the lights changed, the spell ended and I was forced to move on.

Any of you folks know much about sidecars? Before I go full dad bike and get a goldwing or some other rolling couch for riding with the wife I started looking into leaner sidecars and found this dude in Germany making them. I'd still keep a second bike for solo rides but this makes for more interesting passenger options (eg my dog) and avoids some of the issues with traditional sidecar handling or lack thereof. This started with looking at Urals, which I quickly decided was an even worse investment than importing a custom side car from Europe

Had a fun experience yesterday. I was heading down to a family cabin but got stuck getting out if the city in general traffic. I noticed my led head light was pulsing on low rpm?! but was steady on 3k+ rpm. Okay, Honda regulator spectre rearing it's head again? I turned off the road into a rest stop to assess things, and noted the indicators also didn't work? Okay, those always run from battery, so battery is hosed. Then I did the total bone head move, and turned the bike off as I stopped in semi reflex.. And now the bike is totally dead, no dash lights even. As I started to call people letting them know I'd be late, laying plans to call for a cab to get a spare battery I have at home, then diagnose it with a multimeter to order a new regulator and/or stator as last time, l did the first important thing when dealing with electric gremlins, I checked the battery poles. The + node screw had worked itself loose about 3/4 of a turn. Tightened it and rode on.

Having a weird issue with the elite today. When I get on the throttle the coolant temp gauge goes to cold, when I get off the throttle it goes to warm. It seems to be tied solely to the throttle, if I open the throttle to rev the engine but don't move the scooter, it will drop the needle momentarily. The fact that it returns to a normal temp immediately when I stop, combined with the fact that it runs perfectly fine as the needle is swinging all over the place leads me to think I'm chasing an electrical connection issue rather than an actual cooling system issue. I spent a decent amount of time off-road with the elite yesterday and apparently now I'm paying for it
