HenryJLittlefinger posted:I've got no need for a gear indicator at all, but the idea of getting all elitist at someone for making one or even just wanting one is beyond old man yelling at cloud. They seem pretty pointless to me. Putting aside the fact that it really isn't hard to tell what gear you're in by RPM/butt dyno, what value is there in knowing precisely what gear you're in? Don't get me wrong, a factory sixth gear indicator like harleys have is pretty handy to stop phantom 7th hunting; if it can display the other gears that's a free bonus I guess. I just can't imagine going out of my way to put one on a bike that hasn't got one. But I understand some people have a need to cover their bikes in needless crap. Different strokes etc. I want a bike made out of as few parts as possible, some people want a three page list of dumb features and I respect that. Also they give me money to fit those dumb features which, btw, are almost always horrible garbage regardless of how much they cost. In other words: Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Gear indicators are good and all bikes should have them but those electronic aftermarket ones that run on RPM/speed sensors and aren't built into the gearbox are just the worst plebeian ghetto thing. Sad. You'd have to be an absolute muppet to not want a neutral light though.

I'd be interested to see a breakdown of cylinder configuration vs age and gender. Is a thumper an ovary massager? Is a V4 a kidney stone dissolver?

By the time you've peeled the schuberth modular off your toupe and flopped your sweaty mass out of the 'stitch, it's too late to calculate why the 19yo model you were expecting is now CSB, straddling your KLR tickling the fuel tap so you run. Bike never gets reported stolen, easy.
