I don't know about you guys but don't you hate the douches riding their hogs/ricerockets busting up the shoulder and weaving through traffic riding on the CENTER LINE?? Makes me wanna lane change without shoulder checking or opening my passenger door.

 

All these people say that people need to watch out for bikers, I can see why.

 

I see it all the time on the free-way.

I know 2 people who've died on bikes BTW. And my dad rides a harley but he's a good rider.

I see a lot of people riding their bikes down the shoulder of the highway during heavy traffic. Not so much cutting between lanes because they know someone would open their door.

Funny story... I saw one of those coming, put my right signal on and pulled on to the shoulder. I sat there a few minutes while he sat behind me. Then I signaled back to the left and resumed my place in traffic.

 

He flipped me the bird as he went by. :dunno:

 

 

 

FYI: I did not cut him off or endanger any lives during the making of this story.

I seen someone do that on the highway except he went all the way for many kms in crawling traffic until the biker cut over and went down the center lane. I just wanna see a cop give one of these guys a ticket, scumsuckers! :dunno:

Not a big fan of them I usually try and close the gap so they can't do that. The guys I really hate are the stunt riders. Just last night a local trooper was chasing one going 130 mph when the trooper lost control and rolled 5 times. The trooper got pinned in his car and the bikers came back and started laughing and clapping at the trooper while he laid pinned and bloody. When they heard sirens they got back on and took off.

When they catch them, they should take their license for life, give them 5 years mandatory, and then make them do community service every weekend for the next 10 years after that.

 

Running from the law is bad enough, but coming back and laughing at th eguy while he is trapped and injured is just dispicable. I would have a hard time not shooting them on the spot if I were the one who caught them.

I think that each time someone gets caught stunting they should take the riders endorsement away for life and seize the bike and destroy it.

I agree with good and bad versions, just like chevy drivers. But, usually those on a crotch-rocket or something doing stunts, they better be careful or one day there going to end up eating metal and a plastic grille for their last supper.

I ride and never do any of that crap so making general statements against the whole crowd as the OP did is wrong. I have read on here many times statements and posts like "How fast have you ever gone". Some of those trucks in that topic are lifted 6-8 inches. How safe is that, and what are we thinking? Now who is the dummy...........................We are, to all the people in normal cars. How about the trucks you see that they have spent 3-5K on lifts and wheels but cant even do the right thing and purchase a 300 dollar WD hitch and use it properly when they are traveling down the I-5 at 80 MPH with a 7-10K pound toyhauler behind them............Hmm!

 

Every group of owners have the good and the bad, keep an open mind and learn how to spot the retards.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
