TV rides a HONDADoes that win you any friends? Just asking?
Seems like to me, we all need as many friends as possible on the road?
You know what they say about HONDA riders!

Those lights are great!
The other part of the issue though is, even when driving your car, do you consider going farther on your route to avoid a bad place to turn?
Especially with poor road conditions, if oncoming traffic forces you to stop traffic behind you so you can turn left, do you consider an alternative?
They missed one, my personal favorite hand signal, the one for "Thanks for trying to kill me, a-hole"
I just shake my head when I see guys out riding with no protective gear. During the summer seeing guys out riding in shorts and a tank top with tennis shoes! Just asking for it.The other day I saw a dude riding a sport bike on I-69 wearing vans, sweatpants, a worn out hoodie, and no helmet. I think tipping over at a stoplight would have gotten him an ambulance ride.
Not sure anyone is asking for it but some certainly temp fateI just shake my head when I see guys out riding with no protective gear. During the summer seeing guys out riding in shorts and a tank top with tennis shoes! Just asking for it.
And on Monday night you need to give us your impressions of the Honda DCT transmission.
Those Africa Twins are just so damn sexy!
FWIW, I just picked up a KLIM "Induction Pro" jacket. Of the the 6 jackets I've purchased in the past 4 years, including 3 full mesh jackets, this one is, by far, the nicest jacket for hot weather. Flows far more air than the other mesh jackets, and unlike the other mesh jackets it feels like an actual protective jacket despite it's light weight. Euro's CE certified as "AA" for street safety, making it arguably the most protective mesh jacket in the world.
Last time I looked at the data, almost 50% of the Africa Twins sold were equipped with the DCT. A super majority of the Wings sold come equipped with the DCT. And over half of the NC700x and NC750x bikes are so outfitted....the DCT shifts faster, more smoothly and overall better than I would...
I can see why some hard-core off-road riders or dyed in the wool street riders would reject the DCT on principle - at least until they tried it ...
Maybe its time for an upgrade?I was wearing an old (Snell 1990!) Simpson helmet which did not fit well at all and it was so painful after an hour I had to take it off for the last part of the ride (I know… fate tempted…). But this did allow me to connect a little more closely with the bike mechanically.

There was (is?) A subreddit with that name; not for the faint of heart.
