Anyone riding with an airbag vest?

I know they aren’t cheap, but I decided to pick up one based on peer pressure from my riding buddies. I have to say that I’m impressed with how comfortable it is and along with my mesh jacket, it was not uncomfortable at all riding in mid 90s morning temps this past weekend.

With the extra protection it offers and the reduction of impact force in an accident, I’m happy I got it and would recommend one if you can swing it.

Y’all told me Arby’s was good again.

Read some posts here that suggested Arby’s was under rated and the food was solid. Haven’t had a Beef n Cheddar in at least a decade so figured why not? Well It’s gonna be another decade or more before I make this mistake again. This was almost inedible. Not hot, put together sloppily, just bad.

New Bike Day!

Finally took the plunge on a new 2026 RS Blackball Edition and the first 135 miles since collecting it yesterday have been fantastic. All the reviews I watched convinced me to buy one, I’ve admired these for years. Cheers!

Battery Service

I have a 2020 Trailhawk with 45k miles on it. This would make the battery 6.5 years old now. Still starts fine but I think it’s about time to get a new battery just based on time. Am I looking at this correctly? Before we head out for a trip next month I was thinking of getting it replaced to avoid a problem. Or should i wait since it starts and drives fine?
