HCTRA has charged me multiple times for tolls on someone else's bike. Always for State Highway 130 Cameron Plaza North. Had to call HCTRA multiple times to get credit for these bogus charges. Apparently, someone with almost the same plate number has moved their plate to make it hard for the toll cameras to see it. Then the software fails to correctly identify the actual plate number.

I'm stuck having to monitor my account for these fraudulent charges. I'm calling every agency I can think of to track down this guy but no success yet. All over a .95 cent toll he is apparently too poor to cover. Or he's taking a stand against "the man".

Keep an eye on your tolls if you have an account with HCTRA.

I bought a 2025 Hornet about 5 months ago. Only maintenance was an oil change at 600 miles. Now has almost 1600 miles. I did two rides of 120 and 140 miles(3-4 hours). Towards the end of these rides, I started hearing a high pitched whine from the engine during acceleration. The whine raises in pitch as throttle input increases. No whine during deceleration. I have not noticed this on shorter rides of around 60-90 minutes.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Searching online and the only things I read related were a cam chain adjustment issue and using lighter weight oil(had dealer change oil and they used 10w-30). Guess I need to take it back to the dealer but thought I'd run it by the reddit community first.

(pics added) Spent half an hour trying to attach my new Corbin saddle with the 2 small bolts that came with it. Finally got one in but then the other bracket wasn't directly over the other hole. Gave up because it is crazy hot here in Austin.

Anyone have similar issues or tips? Can't believe 2 bolts are causing such frustration. Hope it gets easier over time.
