Windshield Not Functioning

[Old Guy]

All's well that ends well, huh?

I'm 68 and already been scatter-brained all my life. I suspect 74 will be interesting.

I'm trying, 73 in August

.
Don't intend behaving like a 73-year-old.

Lord no! A younger friend was over last fall mounting a tire and talking about his father's health issues. He said sort of off-handedly that he was "getting on in years -- probably close to 65." I just had to give him a hard time about that, and he replied "I forget sometimes that you're my dad's age." I took that as a wonderful compliment.

I lost a good friend two years ago May 5th. He was 84 years old when he passed away and one of the coolest guys I've ever known.

Sorry about your friend, but at 84 I suppose he's had a good innings.

I know quite a few old people who are younger than I am

. And there are too many of my contemporaries who are giving up their mortal coil.

In my case, I'm absolutely positive that my FJR helps me keep fit, both mentally and physically. Might have a problem when I'm 75, though. Travel insurance becomes a bit of an issue, I might have to stop riding abroad

, and stick to the UK. Plenty of good roads here, though.

So, don't give it up if you don't have to. (That goes for anything that you enjoy.)

Hey guys, I was only kidding. I have been making these screwups all of my life. When I was younger I used to tell the guys at work my most embarrassing moments as a matter of entertainment. Made those guys feel better about themselves. I know a lot of people that will never admit to making a mistake or a screwup.

I ride two motorcycles in two states six months each and still enjoy it very much. I believe I stated earlier in another post that I plan on riding until at least age 80. We have to continue to think young.

I've always felt it's a sign of confidence to be able to share an embarrassing moment even when you know you'll be facing ridicule.

I have to say that when you have to select a flipping menu option to lower and raise your screen, perhaps the bike is getting a little too complicated.

I'm sure someone has an app for that as well

And JER, congrats on still riding at 74. Your still riding one of these sport-touring machines and not a GoldWing!

There are so many selections that two switches actually reduces the complication. Punch the menu button no more than twice to select the display, grips, or windshield. Then make a couple of selections to choose from among the options on that screen. Around 9 choices with a maximum of 4 switch presses. They're easy to learn. I leave mine on display and odometer all the time, so I've got a consistent starting point. I guess you could have a dedicated switch for every function, but that side of the bar is busy enough.
