Nice ride!!

It is a different animal for sure! But you can squirm around and change positions without tipping over. Stretch out and put your feet on the front fenders, play with all the electronic gizmos the RSV doesn’t have etc!

First day of riding (in a parking lot for my wife). She has never ridden by herself and only been a passenger behind me for 7 years! But she’s game to learn to ride! I’m very proud of her!

Nice ride! It will be a blessing to you, I’m sure!

Well, we pulled the trigger and bought a CanAm for the wife. We were vacationing in Roundup MT with our son and his family and my wife was checking the FB marketplace for CanAm’s and one popped up that was in Billings, an hour away. It was what we had wanted but were not looking to buy one 1200 miles from home. The price was right and God orchestrated the details, so Monday at noon, we were leaving Billings with a 2017 CanAm in the family! It does kinda stink that the car gets 20 mpg more than the bike! Now all we have to do is teach her how to drive it since she has never ridden her own!

We’re looking at one this afternoon for the wife.

Sounds like an adventure and did you get the Metzlers to where they need replacing?

I’m sorry to hear about your incident and I am glad that you’re ok! Maybe you can search your old posts on this site for the answers as to which handlebars you had.

Leave those brakes the way they are, it makes riding way more exciting!😂

I hate rememberer malfunctions!

I don’t know if I will do it, I just know that rotating the tires on my car is well worth the effort!

My thought was to reverse it a couple times during its lifetime. 4k in one direction and 4 k in the other and so on until it’s worn out. Just to see if there’s more life to be had from some expensive rubber!

Just wondering if anyone has reversed the front tire to make it run the opposite direction to get longer tread life? Kinda like on cars when we rotate tires. It would work only with nondirectional tires.

I’m a fan of Dennis Kirk. I have used Metzler for years and loved them. Not all on this site have the great experience I have. I just bought a pair to replace the 888’s which have almost 16k on them with 2/3’s of those miles 2up. Front was 1 1/2 years old but rear is only 2 months old. Delivery was 2 days from placing the order.

Nice piece!!

I’m under the assumption that with these LED turn signals that we need high viscosity blinker fluid. Is there a specialty blinker fluid that’s recommended for motorcycles?

Happy belated birthday Freebird! I have noticed that pesky year older too! I will catch up with you later this year.

I hadn’t tried that. Thanks for the tip!

I was trying to load the RSV service manual and every time it begins to load, the page crashes. What is the fix for this? Not a huge problem but I’m wondering if other members have this issue.

Well, I am not a big fan of salt, but I am not a fan of ice either! It makes life better now but takes forever to wash the roads in the spring!

If we don’t have at least one -20° night, we haven’t had winter!!🥶

There’s something wrong with the camera, color doesn’t work, it’s all white!!

Happy New Year!!!

At least it’s before Christmas! There’s many after Christmas.

I’m sorry to report that my 2024 riding season has officially ended. I put her on the lift, shut off her fuel, put on the battery tender, and promised her new shoes next season as I tucked her in under her cover and patted her trunk.
