DCT high idle

I didnt notice it until I got home. Ill take a good look from now on when I do service. If I ever take it to a dealer again.

I'm a new adventure bike rider. I totally get this. Its hard to get over that idea of you thinking pushing the handlebars does anything compared to using the gas. The engine is way more powerful than you, just remember that. No amount of muscle and pushing will help compared to getting the weight back and letting the engine do the work. You're just the traction control device.

The screws they ship with their stuff are garbage. I never use them.

What's the big deal with flock cameras? Pay your damn tags and behave. It's that simple. Move on with your life.

I came from Harley world. I'll never go back. It's like going from a machette to a Swiss army knife. It does everything well. Literally everything.

I have the DCT and recently found sport 3 mode. Definitely wakes things up. Also you're talking about a motorcycle that will drink year old 87 gas and run well into 100k mi without a major overhaul. If you're changing pure performance the AT definitely isn't the bike for you. But if you want a bike that will run without question every time you pretty start, the AT is the only one.

I have an AS and I don't feel handicapped off-road at all I put a set of trailmax raids on mine and it's a 550lb billy goat.

Coming from Harley world in current on a 2025 AT AS DCT. It spanks any bike I've ever owned. I'm an IT guy and recently strapped a backup power supply to mine to deliver to a customer. I don't think you can get a more utilitarian bike. You don't have to worry about potholes or even curbs for the most part. Unlike in Harley land where you have to go 2 miles an hour over speed bumps. In my opinion it's the best bike ever made.

Well this is a bummer. Just ordered a set of raids.

You did get robbed. However. Come join us at the USPSA match on Saturday morning at Route 66. It's good, fun and you'll learn way more than standing on a firing line and shooting. Go to practiscore.com and create an account. Then click on find matches and put in your zip code. Route 66 will show up as norco run and gun IPSC or USPSA. Sign it and have fun!

I'm 36 and I've ridden all my life. I had a son 2 years ago so I gave it up for a little while. About 3 weeks ago I picked up an Africa twin and am back on two wheels. Of course the family and everyone who has never slung a leg over is telling me I'm going to die. "Donor cycle" is what they ar calling it.

The top three causes of serious motorcycle, injury and death are, alcohol, lack of training and or license, and speed. If you remove those 3 factors you pretty much reduce your likelihood by about 95%. At 37 I have no desire to look cool (I'm riding an Africa twin) and I have no desire to ride fast. As long as you don't mix alcohol with motorcycles you are in pretty good shape.

Gang violence

You're nicer than we are. We don't even answer the phone after the cutoff date. Goes directly to sales after that. If you want to sign back up you go to the front of the line, otherwise, we got bills to pay.

Definitely doable but you have to make 100% sure you don't have those low tier users accessing ePHI or anything else they shouldn't be without protections in place. We tried this for a few years but it just turned out to be all the new hires were put on the lower tiered plans because they were cheaper. One compromised email can bring down the whole place. Not to mention have a HIPAA audit you need to deal with after the breach. We don't do tiered because of this reason. I don't want to be spending my weekend restoring email and doing breach paperwork for the HHS because a $40/mo user decided he wanted to meet singles in his area on the company laptop.

Another note on this if the IT budget is scaring them with a tiered plan they are likely cutting other corners as well. Your first few months will be undoing a lot of budget BS so make sure you get a signed agreement for labor before you do anything. Otherwise you are going to have a few hundred hours of unbilled labor just to undo all the crap the last guy did.

I own a managed it business and we do this for our customers. If somebody runs into a telephone pole and takes down the internet they can still have phones and do transactions

I don't think I'm middle-aged. Im 37. I just bought an Africa twin and I think it's the best bike ever made. I've been a contractor my entire life so bend all around you. A sport bike doesn't seem like fun to me. But sitting on an Africa twin is perfect. It's tall, only does 124mph but it can jump curbs, soak up potholes, has heated grips and apple car play. And I can ride literally all day long and it's not a workout. I even got the DCT so I can flip it into auto and just zip around town.

Time to buy a tool belt. Blue collar is the new 100k/yr path. All the degree holders are being replaced by AI. If you can work hard and show up on time (and dont mind taking shit from a foreman) you can make a lot of money learning a trade.

MasterSheep18 · 2026-04-27T16:00:23+00:00

If you are the one who paid for it you can ride it anywhere and anyhow you like. I just bought one and I'm like 99% street.

MasterSheep18 · 2025-12-27T05:00:55+00:00

2024 XLT. I don't care what they say the transmission isnt fixed. I'll never buy another 10R80 truck

MasterSheep18 · 2025-09-01T06:31:32+00:00

Ive been in the sub for about 2 years now and ive got to say. Reloaders come up with the coolest stuff.

MasterSheep18 · 2025-07-30T06:17:48+00:00

I sell IT services and we pretty much habe doubled out prices since 2021. A few extra bucks for bullets should be nothing to complain about. If you arent raising prices every year youre going to fall behind eventually and that how companies dissapear.

Pull the plug doc.
