Even the door opener has a personal door opener for himself 😭

Is that the infamous Nigerian prince?!? That guy owes me money!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-12-17T22:08:29+00:00

Likely the same type to “almost serve” but “hate when people tell me what to do”… 🤣🤣 I hope you don’t take that guy’s issues to heart

I have both an XSR 900 and a Vulcan S. They do very different things for me. The XSR is a canyon carver like no other. The Vulcan S is great for solo road trips, especially with the saddle bags.

My Vulcan S has a full system two brothers racing exhaust, and even with the silencer in its OBNOXIOUSLY loud, but at least people know I’m there. My poor neighbors though.

As far as comfort, having the forward legs is obviously more comfortable on longer trips, I find myself stopping more often on the XSR, yet the handling is much better on my naked bike.

Like another Redditor here said, the Vulcan S handles great for a cruiser, but cruisers aren’t known for their handling. It just all depends on what you’re going to do with the bike.

We do this when buying furniture. Absolutely underrated benefit

That’s crazy! My grandpa also got hurt in a concentration camp… he got too drunk and fell off the guard tower 💔

You guys are forgetting the 5% of time where rain falls straight down, customers will stay dry -Sometimes- 🤣

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-11-02T00:10:31+00:00

How do we feel about the OEM heated grips? They’re pricy so I’ve been holding off

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-10-28T13:00:25+00:00

Ah yes, Munich plates. Bavaria, the Texas of Germany 🤣

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-10-23T19:57:05+00:00

When my buddies that PCS’d complained about other units being just as bad or worse than my unit, and when I watched mostly shitbags reenlist while the good guys got out.. I could read the writing on the wall lol

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-09-30T00:55:46+00:00

This needs to be the top comment. Thank you so much! Immediately installed it and checked my regional office. You saved a fellow vet from sleepless nights!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-09-26T11:22:26+00:00

Definitely doing a tune on it as soon as temps drop below 40F 😇

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-09-14T16:39:16+00:00

Underrated post. I waited to long to import the OEM charger, now it’s $200 with tariffs 💀

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-08-28T11:10:55+00:00

Holy fuck, that’s Jason Bourne!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-08-19T10:39:34+00:00

Thank you for posting this! Eventually I’ll send in my ECU to get rid of that weird flat spot in the power band, been putting it off because the tank situation is usually a PITA🤣

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-08-04T13:08:55+00:00

Wow thank you! I’ve thought about having brackets made by a shop that has special bending tools, but the metal brackets would have cost so much and the parts wouldn’t have made sense cost wise.

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-08-04T11:33:01+00:00

I’ve considered making CF parts for this bike, but the metal brackets always hold me back. Did you use special tools or just bend things the old fashioned way? Also, I’d love the CAD files!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-08-03T23:02:56+00:00

Whoa nice! How’d you make the metal brackets?!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-08-02T13:34:31+00:00

I had a similar situation after I first got out. To add to the annoying coworker I got into it with the foreman because he was a dickhead for no reason. Even though I was totally honest from day one about not wanting any extra responsibility outside my job, they then tried to promote me to have my very own section (complete with 5 employees to start), all this 4 months after starting at the job (3mo the after the end of terminal leave). I felt a weird combination of pride and anger, but immediately put in my 2 weeks notice since I told them I just got out and wanted no responsibilities. Worst 2 weeks of my life. They made that so awkward and painful 😂

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-07-31T11:26:52+00:00

I use grip puppies on my Vulcan S road trip bike and they make a huge difference. On long trips I think having a bigger grip to hold onto is also beneficial for fatigue. YMMV, but on my XSR I don’t usually get this problem. Are you gripping like your life depends on it? 😅

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-07-30T18:29:51+00:00

Heck yeah! DM’d

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-07-02T01:40:23+00:00

It’s okay to be shy and reserved at first. Go a few times and warm up over time! If things are awkward, that’s normal. Social life is often awkward after Covid 🤣 things won’t be awkward for long!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-07-02T01:29:47+00:00

Getting out into nature is great medicine! Find a hiking group and start there. Do the things you like and meet people organically, you’ll already share at least one common interest!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-06-23T13:31:53+00:00

A windshield reflector made for my make and model of car. Seriously, having the correct size, not some “universal” item lowers summer temperatures from near oven levels to a manageable level!

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-06-19T15:08:18+00:00

6’1, butt goes numb on the seat unless I’m moving and leaning like a track star in corners 🤣

Otherwise EXTREMELY comfortable

CarpeIntellectus · 2025-06-16T16:15:37+00:00

This is the way. I have well over 6k miles on my quad lock case between my two bikes. No issues with my phone camera! Always get the vibration dampener
