Was that a typo? The Yamaha is water cooled. Oops, never mind. You said you bought a SVTC. Sorry, you are correct. I still agree that they are a great bike. Tons of torque.

Happy New Year to you all., I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year.

I'm almost sure that there used to be but apparently we have lost that feature in some update at some point. I'll look into it and see how hard it would be to do it again.

Merry Christmas To All
Freebird posted a topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
I know that times are tough for many right now. I just want to wish each and every one of you a Very Merry Christmas. It is a season of joy and I hope that you all can find some during this holiday season. -
I agree with your comments. I just remember when I took my beginners riding course many years ago, the instructor was an older gentleman probably about as old as I am now. He said that he had been riding for about 50 years and had never had an accident. He said that all accidents were preventable as long as you watch out for yourself. I understand that all accidents are preventable if EVERYBODY does their part but that's not what he said. Sometimes you can do everything right and still be involved in an accident. Hey, that's just the way life is. We can only do all that we can and hope for the best. I've read a number of stories where people were sitting in their living room or sleeping in their bed when a car crashed through their house or even an airplane crashed into their house. Not ALL accidents are preventable by YOU or me.

That is what I'm always told. I've taken several safety courses for the beginners motorcycle course, advanced riders course, and a couple of company managed courses when I worked for companies and was provided company cars. Every one of then have stated that "all accidents are preventable". I've always called BS on that. I've had a couple of accidents, in cars, that I see no way that I could have prevented. Here is a video of a motorcycle accident that I honestly don't see how it could have been prevented. Sorry, I suppose that those of you who do not have a Facebook account won't be able to see it. The fact is, not all accidents are preventable short of staying home in bed and wrapped in bubble wrap. Even then, things could happen. https://www.facebook.com/reel/872221967477962?mibextid=0NULKw&fs=e&s=TIeQ9V
