    No experience with Aero, but here I do the ATGATT, All The Gear All The Time. In my case that means leather pants, jacket and gloves. Every trip. Up to 95 deg. Then I allow myself to wear armored...

    Agree all except about assuming. Watch the wheels. Watch the heads. Watch all other body parts, even wave and say Hi!

    And then ASSUME: Every other driver has seen you and is trying to kill you. No...

    I read you checked the tires, but didn’t see where you checked psi. On my first trip off the trailer I had a fair amount of wobbling, initially attributing it to 2 wheel experience and gripping too...

    Second the suggestion to email them. Simply reference the unit you want and ask for a complete out-the-door price, including delivery if you won’t be picking it up.

    I kept the Alaska Leather when I finally sold my Indian Springfield. It works great on my RTL, for me, but if I didn’t have it, sounds like the AirHawk would be worth a try!

    TC Boone seems happy, Bud Voss is not. Is it just subjective and a matter of taste or are there some inconsistencies in this new production run? Any insight?

    Thank you, Mr. Aawen!
    Sounds like my thinking was a bit too anticipatory - so more turns of the tubes down the road, and no worries, as I learn more about my new RTL ��

    This has been a great read, but so far limited to the front end. In the past, if I’ve put new rubber on, it’s been “all the way around”. Would it be reasonable for a ‘22 RTL to get just two new...

    I have an old 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado (last of the big ones) cover. I put Bounce softener sheets/tissues inside and and around. RTL is inside, so loose over-size is not an issue.

    I have only 1 single piece of data. My brand new 2022 RTL and I were sitting at a stoplight, still had foot on brakes so lit up. Car approached from rear and got too close. I move up a few feet,...

    Might try contacting a couple seat companies to see how they ship - they surely don’t pay that much….
