    Site performance is quite poor today

    I'm not complaining about it, just pointing it out in case there is something to worry about

    Why, why, why,

    Automotive SCS are not perfect and do still require manual intervention, but I would be very happy with that level of functionality on a bike

    Second phone number without getting a second phone?

    Many phones that support both eSIMs and physical SIMs will let you have one of each active. A few phones support having multiple eSIMs active. And there are of course phones that support multiple physical SIMs, but they are quite rare in Canada

    I thought for sure it was going to be an MP3... that said, dealer selling as-is always concerns me

    Why, why, why,

    Multiple thoughts: -Pshaw, I don't need self-cancelling signals because I spent a few decades learning to cancel them myself -These days it'd be like maybe 100 lines of code to add it to the existing electronics. No additional hardware required ... well probably not. The IMU could do it, but I...

    Ural Neo

    Just a reminder that the claimed performance of the current 749cc motor, from Ural themselves, is 42 hp. It is a wacky, warmed over version of a Soviet reverse engineered pre-war BMW R71. There are some fascinating operating restrictions to help avoid overheating the motor. I understand the...

    Where's my balls?

    I don't want this to sound like I'm being hard on it, as you say you knew there would be moments. I am curious though, many kilometres did that bearing accumulate before exploding?

    UVIP purchase price

    Insurance companies used to ask for bill of sale sometimes but I don't think I've encountered it for at least a decade Otherwise, declaring value to insurance is usually just a simple test. If the declared value is much higher than they are expecting, then it might trigger follow up questions...

    What about a motorcycle's age?

    I *do* have fire/theft on my 29 year old TL1000S, partly because somebody *might* steal it, but mostly because comp coverage on it is very cheap. No collision though

    What about a motorcycle's age?

    VFR coolant leak

    I agree the white deposits are a likely indicator of a leak. I would say *check* the tightness of the hose clamp, and tighten it if it is loose - don't crank it down excessively. I don't know what "pressure washer level" means, I presume that it was auto-corrected from something. Fluid level in...
