    I still think it may go in that direction...maybe a special paint.

    So I used the nav today. It is very slick. On the full screen in the center console is a full nav with maps and all the functions. But it also pops a mini map to the left of the spedo. So once you fire nav up you can pull down another app on the main screen and get your nav from the spedo area. It also only uses the left front speaker for spoken directions so other peeps can still jam.

    It's all f'd up depending on what browser you use and what your screen resolution is. I noticed that yesterday.

    We are talking about someone that can and has broken into banks (with their permission of course as part of his work for them). If he was going to go evil I think his targets would be a bit more expensive than you can afford.

    Correct. A White Hat hacker. A good guy hacker. Companies, governments that shall remain nameless pay him oodles of money to hack them so they can fix the holes before the bad guys find out.

    And the answer is, it disengages and screams. Had a truck kick up a 2x4 tonight in front of me. It saw it.

    Hard for me to comment on a taller first gear without knowing what the old version was like. But in general terms I like a taller first gear for city driving..making right and left turns and so on. I certainly don't see enough improvement to upgrade if you already have one. You have an awesome bike as is, the '16 is just a bit more awesome.

    There is a series of five or so videos on hackers. He is the last one, 'Hacker in your Head'. http://money.cnn.com/technology/superhero-hackers/

    The fancy one with 84 different electronic suspension settings is very tempting. I may have to take one for a spin. http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2016-yamaha-fjr1300/#more-99823

    The peak on the right is what energy consumption looks like 0 to 100.

    Ok, self driving needs some work. Had my first oh shit moment on the way to work today. On the turnpike, three lanes...in the left lane passing two trucks side by side. So the truck in the middle lane was moved over a bit towards my lane but certainly still in his. As I got beside them we hit a big left hander and he crowded me more and got right to the edge of the lane line between us. The car freaked out over that and disengaged auto drive. It screams at you when that happens. Since we were in a left hander if I wasn't paying real close attention and had a hand on the wheel I would have drifted enough to the right that I would have nailed him. And I don't like the way it stay's pretty much perfectly centered in the lane. When passing on a freeway, even just a car, I like to move away from what I am passing. Dunno how they will be able to compensate for that........interesting problem.

    Dang man, Fox News has higher standards than you do. That has got to sting. http://money.cnn.com/2015/12/07/media/fox-profanities-against-obama/index.html
  18. "During World War II (WWII) the Ducati factory was involved in producing products for the Army – bullets, machine-gun parts and military radios. Because of this on Oct. 12, 1944 the state of the art Ducati facility was targeted by the Allies as a weapons factory. "Operation Pancake" bombed and destroyed the factory." https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2009/12/21/ducati_wwii_history/

    Macedonia, by that big strip mall at 82 and 271. There is at least one in every decent sized city. You can easily go all over the country stopping every 200 miles or so for a charge. They planned them to be near malls and coffee shops. It took it from 70 miles left in range to 240 miles in 30 minutes. Most Walmarts have them too, but not free and they are not the super chargers.
  20. America bombed the shit out of the factory because it was balls to the walls making military gear. They were bigger than they ever were and ever have been with over 10,000 emoloyees making shit to kill Ameeicans.

    Military members are right winged, want to blow everything up and hate liberals? Well that is a shocker.
  23. But you ride a Ducati. Weren't they also pretty bad during WWII?

    Paris...

    You can make the same point polity and professionally without resorting to name calling. A simple 'President Obama's response was weak, ineffective and lacked the strong leadership we need from a President.' for example. There is no dialog anymore, just name calling and yelling. YOU ARE SUCH AN ASSHAT.
