I've heard nothing but good things about SKYDOC. I'll join the other members in wishing for a speedy non eventful recovery for him and all the best to you.

i get the gasoline odor on my 2009 for a period in the garage. I make it a habit to turn the petcock off prior to turning the ignition sw. There is no visible leaks and I have never experienced any sign of a flooded carb. It starts up clean and clear. I've wondered myself but with no ill effects, I live with it.

I'm Pulling for your complete recovery.

Welcome to the club. Not just the embarrassment of dropping, but the agony of picking it up afterwards.

Vacuum leak??

Customer still running?

10-4. used to do it 2-3 times a week.

I was without a bike from 1982 to 2018. I knew what I wanted to do and several makes and model fit the bill. I went online because I was living in a new to me state and really not knowing any fellow riders. I did Kawasaki, Suzuki, HD, etc forums. This forum sort of sold me on the RSV, price vs performance. Bought the bike and joined the forum at the same time. Two years and no regrets.

Roll on.

My 2009 cruise control is not an "instant on". It takes a second or two to engage. I set it, let go of the throttle and it backs off. I set it and hold the throttle a couple of seconds. Once engaged it functions great. The delay was a pain but now I have just adjusted to it.

LOL, it's been over a year since I last dropped it. I had a chance to ride a Can Am a few yrs ago. Still has the wind in the face but I miss the lean into the curves feel. I'm sure my wife would appreciate one. My pension is now 22 yrs old. That hurts compared to today's costs. $5000 RSV vs Cam Am. RSV for a long time.

I dropped my 09 RSV 3 times inside of 500 miles. Never rolling, but always at a stop. They are top heavy but the thought of picking it up kept me aware. Practice, practice, practice. I'm 5 10 and 77 yrs old. Man, I don't want continue picking it up.

Hellava job. Unique and sweet.

It's not what you ride. It's the ride itself, Vespa to Vanderhall. Enjoy the breeze.

No argument.
