    Most of my old Harleys never had a working Speedo, I’ve always used sound to shift gears, and to regulate speed. That shifting without my moving my right hoof sure had me bumfusled lol. May have even bruised my left heel trying to get the clutch down.

    It sure is a different machine, I can’t really say anything bad about it now that I drove one, I just feel all out of place lol…

    First time I ever had an auto on the street was last winter. Took a bit to get used to. I'd take off from a light nice and easy like I would with a manual. Rev it up to around 1200 and wait on it to do nothing. Found you really just have to keep your foot into it and let it do its thing. I was in an Eaton 13 speed, have been told the Volvo auto is far superior.

    3 below freezing tonight. They've been forecasting snow for this weekend on and off. Forecasted to be around freezing at night all next week.

    I was hoping by moving about 6 hours south of where I used to be that it'd be warmer. The last 2 winters have proved me wrong.
