Well, we finally got a break in the rain here and I did a 200+ mile trip with my wife on Saturday along the coast, and back through the Napa Valley, with some hilly and winding roads in between (not that the coast isn't hilly!). Wife doesn't love splitting lanes, and so for the most part I was stayi...

@Supercub, I have had an issue with the rectifier in my own Virago a while back. The battery voltage (DC voltage) that I could read on a little gizmo I mounted under my handlebars, was always oscillating wildly, and for the longest time I thought that's just how it is.

When I ride I like to hear the wind and the engine. The only exception is the occasional directions (or cop alerts) from the navigation app. I tried listening to music while riding but it's not for me. I prefer the V2 rattle

I don't know. Probably not gauges. I wouldn't be looking back to check anything other than my blind spot

lookin' good! are those extra gauges or speakers that you have on the handle bars?

Maybe an annual membership fee is the only way to go? I don't know the stats of how many active users are there, but maybe a $2/year fee or something like that, would cover the hosting fees?
