coy55boy Posted March 2, 2011 #1 Posted March 2, 2011 My commute to work is about 7 miles and usually takes 15 or 20 minutes depending on traffic. This morning was no exception. However, when I left work this evening, it was 67 miles and took an hour and a half. Just can't figure it out... http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n163/coy55boy/Black%20Beauty/Sunset030111.jpg Gotta love a nice sunset!
flb_78 Posted March 2, 2011 #2 Posted March 2, 2011 Your Sat/Nav must be malfunctioning. You should take it into the dealer for repairs.
midnite Posted March 2, 2011 #3 Posted March 2, 2011 Dang sounds like a memory problem:confused24:, just don't know if it is the bike or the operator:stirthepot:
coy55boy Posted March 2, 2011 Author #5 Posted March 2, 2011 ok, youre on the list now..... Brian There's a list?
bongobobny Posted March 2, 2011 #6 Posted March 2, 2011 The answer is easy, you aren't riding a 1st gen any more, therefore you are riding a slower bike...
mini-muffin Posted March 2, 2011 #7 Posted March 2, 2011 Yep the list of everyone riding and having nice weather. Margaret
Hummingbird Posted March 2, 2011 #8 Posted March 2, 2011 you had better get that 1800 back to the dealer - it sounds like you didn't get the letter for the recall on the defective odometers - it's common defect with a number of motorcycles especially in nice weather. it's most common in northern states as spring approaches. My first suggestion is to keep an eye on your fuel guage as you will find it reading incorrectly as well. What I mean is that you will probably need to re-fuel twice a week instead of maybe once. Good luck with your problem and try to enjoy your trip home each day.
Scooter Bob Posted March 2, 2011 #9 Posted March 2, 2011 I get a kick out of all the other folks at work when gas prices go up. They ask how much cheaper it is to take the bike to work instead of the Dakota. I have to explain it's no cheaper at all, just takes longer to get home! Later, Scooter Bob
Rick Haywood Posted March 2, 2011 #10 Posted March 2, 2011 It is amazing how many non-riders think we own and ride bikes for the gas mileage. It's sort of like my daughter working at Menards while going to college, I figured I might save a little money with her discount but soon found out I spend lots and lots more because she works there.
Iowawegian Posted March 2, 2011 #12 Posted March 2, 2011 ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that's so pretty! It was 18 below out here this morning. I can't take much more of this!
