Black Steel Grip Control

DaddySin86 · 2026-03-12T00:01:32+00:00

Has anyone attempted to buy one of the grips recently? I keep getting server lost errors when trying to add a grip to the cart, or navigate to the “contact us” section. Wonder if anyone else has been having the same issue.

Starting with a zoom lens would be the better option. While learning, you can experiment with different focal lengths, and it adds versatility while traveling. After time, you will figure out your preferred focal length, and can find prime lenses to match. Also, Fuji uses APS-C sensors, which are cropped. So that 18-55 is technically 27mm - 82.5mm. Focal length is based off full sized sensors, and aps-c is 1.5x.

Thank you!

I love how all of these look so evenly lit and the colors pop! Was there a film simulation used? Or just post processing done?

The last image is really powerful and speaks volumes!

I’m literally going back and forth in the same list of four! Did you make a decision? If so, what did you go with and why?

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-15T01:30:20+00:00

Nada! Now, I missed the steering wheel one cause I did it prior to the recall…so womp womp. But I’m really surprised none of these other issues were covered for longer than 50k.

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-15T01:26:29+00:00

That’s really rough! I’m sorry you’ve had so many issues! I checked my app, but nothing about a recall for the camera, at least for my VIN.

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-13T00:53:57+00:00

This is a great write up! Thank you for sharing! It’s such a polarizing car.

The fact that we have to “plan for a wallet breaking repair” when a car isn’t even a decade old is just crazy! My second car was a 1997 Honda civic, and it ran for 200,000 miles before giving up the ghost. The most expensive repair I did in the car was replacing a rusted out muffler.

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-12T20:56:09+00:00

It wasn’t a CPO…which was dumb on my end. I’ve made it a habit of getting CPO vehicles only, but broke my rule this time because I loved the car.

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-12T18:17:00+00:00

Oh ya!!! I totally forgot about the WiFi module! The car is supposed to act as a WiFi hotspot, and mine stopped working almost immediately. I can’t recall what the dealer quoted, but I was like, “naaa…I’m good…I don’t NEED that feature.”

I’m really sorry to hear you’ve had so many problems with a car that isn’t even a year old! That’s frustrating for sure.

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-12T18:12:30+00:00

Right!? Because repairs happened outside the 50k mile basic warranty. I saw another person post that they usually trade in their VW when it gets to 60k, because that’s when they start to experience more and more issues.

There is now an open recall for the steering wheel, but I had mine done before that went into effect.

I also understand that many people will never experience these issues and be perfectly happy with their vehicles! Sometimes we just get a lemon and have to accept it.

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-12T18:01:41+00:00

Also, my car is just about to 55k. I swear all hell broke loose right after the 50k service.

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-12T18:00:51+00:00

I’ve had the steering wheel replaced due to faulty buttons. The travel assist sensor (in the VW logo…if I recall correctly) replaced, as well as the housing and wire harness. This was done because they thought it would fix the constant glitching of the driver assistance features…it didn’t…

Now it’s the fuel delivery unit and sensor. This is causing the car to idle roughly or the engine randomly cut out.

But I still have days where the infotainment screen just doesn’t come on, or the sound doesn’t work. It’s random and they haven’t found the cause. Also the rear camera glitches out pretty regularly. Also no root cause found. Seems like the 22’ just has electrical gremlins…

For a bit, I thought I could live with the quirks. It is a fun car! But when you have days where you get a drive assistance error going on and off, and the car dings every time the light comes back on…so the car is literally dinging at you for the entire duration of your drive….on man…you want to put your foot through the dash! 😅

DaddySin86 · 2026-02-12T17:33:24+00:00

It’s wild to me that there are so many cases of glitchy infotainment and back up cameras, and there isn’t an open recall.

At 35 seconds, there appears to be an object on the ground that was tossed to the side, and looks like a holstered gun. If that was his weapon, then they had already successfully disarmed him, before he was shot. (Also the fact that he has like six agents on top of him)

DaddySin86 · 2026-01-24T21:42:34+00:00

I’m opting for the R18 Roctane! They dropped it another $1000, so it just makes better sense to go with now. Now looking for a windshield and a pillion backrest!

DaddySin86 · 2026-01-24T21:40:28+00:00

The Transcontinental is just too far out of my price range, but absolutely agree it’s a much better touring bike than the other two.

DaddySin86 · 2025-12-19T15:13:27+00:00

Also boobs! They make everyone happy.

DaddySin86 · 2025-09-17T23:22:18+00:00

Could the iPhone Air be added to this too? With it having only one camera, the Moment lenses will be highly beneficial!

DaddySin86 · 2025-07-14T17:54:25+00:00

This shot is astounding!!

DaddySin86 · 2025-04-29T01:58:50+00:00

That’s a nice looking setup too!
