Very interesting that our lives & interests have “crossed paths” in a few areas to be sure… This may be a longshot here because this pizza joint was the best on the planet in its day, but my family used to go to a place called “Charlotte‘s Pizza” in Barrington, Illinois a lot that was right...

Thanks for the link on Cacique® brand Queso Fresco. Yes, if the Yamaha TMAX 560 ever comes back, I’d be looking again at that one too. Years ago I test rode one and I really liked that scoot but didn’t buy it. Ended up finding a deal on that Vespa that was two years lost in a warehouse crate...

One has to become a foodie with my background and my experience working with some of the finest master chefs in the world like for example, Ferdinand Metz, CMC who did a lot of work for our food company for 15 years in product development. It’s just corporate greed that’s fueling shrinkflation...

Thanks for your insight and your perspective from your corporate world. Been retired for many years, but I worked for a Fortune 500 company that has been on the listing for 68+ years and today is listed in the lower bottom third of the Fortune 500. My position was managing institutional sales...

Totally agree that all brands of popular makes can have warranty issues, but you’re right about that RR owner returning his bike because it didn’t have the spec carbon wheels on it. That is totally unacceptable and it’s actually a ham-fisted bait and switch tactic and I don’t blame the buyer for...

Whatever…

Oh I do post rhapsodic comments on the Ducati forums (specifically the Monster forum if you really want to know, I which I doubt). Seems I have your little bmw “feathers” a little ruffled? Best motorcycles in the world? Hardly. Lousy customer service & lousy warrantees? Definitely. I see in...

Bottom line is that an engine bearing is suspect and also the assembly is suspect because the engine had error problems at 9 miles BEFORE Modifications and said so with a warning on the Instrument cluster in this video. And after reading the comments like you suggested (which I had already...

This is an interesting video about how BMW screws over their good customers and have very lousy customer service: After my experience with all the niggling electrical problems with my 2022 BMW CE 04, and also learning how they treat high end ICE customers terribly, I won't even consider...

Ron, forgot to add that when I was looking to trade in my 2022 CE 04, all the Twin Cities dealerships that sold them had several in inventory & one dealership had SIX that hadn’t sold in over six months❗️ That’s why the two only other BMW dealerships I checked would only offer me less than half...

Thanks❗️👍🏼😎 Most of my local and regional riding I do is mostly between 40 and 60 miles an hour, so wind protection is not a major concern for me. Ron, I knew I was going to take a bath on trading in the CE 04, but I just wanted to stop the bleeding financially and I’m happy with my decision...

I liked it better than the BMW tall windscreen as it seemed to throw most of the wind buffeting over my helmet, and I’m 5‘ 11”. By the way, I traded in my first in Minnesota 2022 CE 04 at the dealership I bought it from (Moon Motorsports) in early December of 2023 and purchased a 2024 Ducati...

The service manager at my BMW dealership said that warning message only can be changed by them, but in the meantime if the warning annoys, just jiggle the selection ring back-and-forth perpendicular to the handlebar a couple times and the warning message should disappear. I can easily ignore...

“The good news for prospective EV buyers is threefold. First, in contrast with most consumer electronics makers, automakers have a vested interest in ensuring battery life. The average EV battery should outlast not just its warranty but also the rest of the car. Second, there is a lot you can do...

I agree with you here, Tom. I think this is definitely being amplified unnecessarily like you stated through “FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt)” again in this particular case through some semi-knowledgeable resources on battery technology and one that is particularly dependent upon mostly ICE...

Think I got the only one in Minnesota that I purchased December 2022. I don’t know what the wait list was at the time, but mine was a demo and I did get a discount which was free winter heated storage for a small blemish on the right front plastic brake protector/aerodynamic faring. And I agree...

Excellent review Tom❗️👏🏼

Took about an hour and a half ride around town this morning with the new Puig dark smoke windscreen and I really like it. I’m 5’11” (legs and torso proportionate) and the wind blast goes over the top of my helmet without much buffering at all. In fact, I think it’s better than the large screen...

Nice. Just received one just like it yesterday and planning to put it on tomorrow. That dark smoke tint really looks good with the bike and I was wondering what it was going to look like and you made it easy with these pictures.

Thanks for the nice write up on the details so far of the Verge TS Pro, Tom. I’m sure as they roll out internationally and into the US, we’ll get more data to judge what the real deal is… but your findings are interesting. As for color choices, I’m leaning towards the Blazing Red badass Verge...
