My Initial Impressions of The 2018

[Bob Denman]

The Missus and I took a ride to the dealership this morning. It was time to sign a bunch of paperwork, and take a bunch of pictures! :yes::yes::yes:
I came away with some pretty positive first impressions

The new foam grips are comfy
he new dash is PLENTY visible!
The smoked headlight and foglight covers are AWESOME!
The rear storge compartment still has a 12 volt power port in it.
The USB plug is up in the frunk
The Parking brake switch has been moved...
...as has the mode switch
And the Set switch has gone!
(You just push in on the end of the joystick!
The rear air suspension is now completely self-adjusting: no more buttons for it!
The windshield support bracket is now blacked-out
I don't think that you get any luggage with the bike... WTH! :dontknow:
The Gold pieces have a very satin finish to them. (I might like it a bit more "Goldy")
The six-speaker stereo system ROCKS!! VERY crisp, and lots of volume.
( I tested it with some "Iron Man", and "Zombie Stomp"! :bowdown
It even has a left-right balance this year, in addition to the front-rear fader.
Pulling error codes is no longer like a "secret handshake". There's an item on the menu for it.

Thanks for the review....

Now we will have to wait for the riding review..:bbq:But gives you time to read and garage test....:thumbup:

Nice looking ride. Your bump-skid lights look like Triclid lights which I have. They are nothing short of awesome. The new dash display and electronics will take some getting use to. Lots of good, fun things to learn.....

LOVE, that Bump Skid with the LED lighting. :thumbup: PS: Ready for the RYDE Report when the weather give us a break.

Missing something?

That's probably the first thing that I'll do, once I get it home! :thumbup:

"Slim Pickins"?

You've sure got that right! :clap:

Does that mean that we'll have to perform the dreaded "Redneck Mind-meld"? :shocked:

 

[Blue Star]

That's probably the first thing that I'll do, once I get it home! :thumbup:

My apologies, I thought you had it home already. If you need someone to ryde it home for you I volunteer.
