Actually, I didn't sell anything and my retirement investments are doing quite well.
Guess I shouldn't quite as much....

This retirement gig doesn't suck.

I'll bet it doesn't! Enjoy.

I stopped by the local Honda/Yamaha Power sports shop, showed him the PICs, he confirmed that they are the leaked Press Kit pictures, confirmed that there will be a DCT and a manual transmission, but nothing else.
Also said he presold two Yamaha Transcontinental's, and the Eluder would be on the showroom floor by 12/3.

Do I believe him?? I'll just have to wait and see.

I received another email from Honda today regarding the new Wing unveiling on 10/24. As with the first one, this linked to a video with several clips of the 'old' F6B, which leads me to believe there will really be a new one. Here's the video link:

Don't know where this comes from, but here are some more details on the new wing.

I am surprised at only about 6hp net increase at the wheel. I guess it gets to keep its reliability that way.

One thing oft missed in the debate over ABS: it ONLY engages when you've already started to skid. ABS looks at the rotation of all the wheels relative to each other, and sometimes an accelerometer (motion sensor). Only when there is a significant difference (meaning one is locked up) or the wheels say you're stopped and the accelerometer says you're still moving quite well will ABS engage.

ABS does NOT stop your ability to "feather the line" of your own braking abilities!

But it DOES catch you when you go over the line, and something is now skidding when you didn't want it to. Get the wheel back under control and ABS turns off.

Great point and my thought exactly!
A lot of people are under the impression ABS brakes work differently when under "normal" braking conditions. ABS brakes only comes into play when going over your braking ability, and locking up the wheels, and that's it. Otherwise they work the same as a bike without ABS.
