Well Clay I think they finally fixed it. They replaced the Windshield Control Module and it's been 3 weeks with no recurrence. The last code they pulled was "U0128 - Lost Communication with Park Brake Control Module (PBCM)". It seems the Windshield Control Module was faulty and it's apparently on the same line as the Park Brake Control Module. The bike thought the parking brake was on, and so wouldn't allow me to do anything but shift down.

Thanks RTWolfie. Unfortunately that doesn't sound like a cheap solution.
I've only had one instance of failure to shift-up in the last 10 months and 5,000 miles, and it self corrected after 30 seconds. I'm hoping it's gone or become so infrequent that I just won't have to deal with it again. But it's good to know it's an option if it does come back.

Pushed 3 or 4 times and it finally shifted. I did the entire 400 mile ride without any issues.
Later in the week it occurred again on a short ride, and it wouldn't come back. I shut the bike off, waited 15 minutes, and it started and shifted just fine, so I did my ride.
In all my problems, I have never been stranded by the bike. It's annoying to have to sit for 15 to 20 minutes, but the shift has always come back to life and let me complete the ride.
Reading through the other posts, I don't see anyone who's reported back after a long time indicating the problem was fixed. Of course, I'd have thought mine was fixed until it wasn't. I have not disconnected my brake light flasher. Maybe I'll try that.

Just a quick question, by any chance when this DRY SHIFT happens where you going into or shifting out of a shape curve, on ramp, ect? because if you were, it may be a case of your Nanny telling you to behave yourself! I think there's a setting in there that they can adjust to lessen that from happening!

No, there is no specific ride conditions associated with the problem (for me). The majority of the time this happens in the first 10 minutes of my ride, so low speeds, city streets. Often just shifting reverse to 1st after backing out of the garage. Only a few times have I had it happen hours into a ride.
Turning the bike off and waiting 15 minutes or more has always recovered the bike so I've never been stranded anywhere.
