Well sure I’ve never tested it going highway speed but if I don’t fully close the door and try to pull out of a parking spot it moves like an inch then says “nope”. But my post was to at least alert the driver that the thing was not locked down - that seems pretty simple.

My ten year old basic model sedan will jerk to a halt and put the transmission in Park if I try to move with the driver door not fully closed. I’d think a semi would be able to detect and alert that the damn dumper (?) is extended. Wow.

Agreed. None of their popular bikes really resonated with me but I dug some modded V-rods

“Hey our demographic is aging out of riding, dying or have other options like Indian to choose from, we should broaden our appeal to younger, more diverse customers. “

proceeds to do a bit of that

“Oh no, our forevermore shrinking customer base we're trying to move away from doesn't like it, we should abandon that plan and all but ensure our demise”

Clever plan.

 

Came here excited to join a discussion about those last few laps and….no threads posted?
