Whaaat? That’s awesome, I know nothing about gaming but that sounds so unique, I’d bet her life experience would add new value to the gaming world.

Do it! It is helping me with motivation, brain fog, accountability, just to name of few. It's like going back to school but now its on my terms.

Great tip! Yea that battery was from 2022 and I was thinking it should have had some life left. I'm my experience, regular batteries are only lasting 3-4 years without tending, what is your experience? I don't know if regular tending increases the longevity or not but I'll test it out on this new one. I've always been in Cali and never really had to "store" the bike for winter so tending the battery is something I never did. Someone commented that I should not be turning off the bike at the handlebar switch, I'm curious if that kills that battery faster? They didn't actually say what the reason was so that's the Gemini thinking in me. But the next battery will probably be a lithium. About doing our own troubleshooting, it's only out of necessity right now. Believe me, I rather have someone else just take care of it for me and just ride. :)

@@Retiredgemini I still have the stock battery that came in my 2021 RG. I don't put it on a tender during the winter, but I go out a few times a month, start the bike and let it run for a bit 20-30 minutes. Hubby rides year round, I don't mind the cold, but if there is a chance of black ice I don't like to risk it.

@@nikkik6412 "2021 RG" Great choice! I'm glad you've got the cable clutch too lol. (bad joke because of my problems with my 2018 SGS) Black ice is no bueno, I totaled a work truck once, after hitting the ice on a curve, the only thing that stopped me from flying into the lake was a tree!

@@Retiredgemini Ice is no fun at all😬

My channel is not about me telling the world I ride, but I actually did start it so my grandson could follow my retirement ride. True story but thank you for engaging, it actually helps in many ways. I’m truly enjoying learning how people really interact online. It’s eye opening for sure.

Exactly!

LOL, guess what? I'm going to BFE in October! LMAO

Don’t use the switch on the handlebar? I’ve never heard that before but I’ll look into it, you’re saying always shut the bike off at the ignition instead right?

@@Retiredgemini It's a good habit to use the key or ignition switch. Some people kill their battery using the red shutdown switch and forget to turn off the main switch.

@@kc5hgv Ahh, that makes sense. The habit of using the ignition switch prevents you from leaving it on like I did in the video! Great call! New habit beginning today!

I’m pretty sure you’re trying to insult me, 😅but hey, I like your name, a 65 impala is my all time favorite 😍

@@Retiredgemini I gave my view of why someone might say you shouldn't be riding a bike. It's sounds harsh, but you can choose to disregard. Why you ride, is something only you decide. So I'm not saying you shouldn't ride. I'm explaining: in the eyes of someone who spent most of his waking hours learning about his favorite thing to do, your basic question tells him you are not in his circle. For some reason he couldn't leave it at that, he had to tell you. I guess it's like screaming at the TV-screen for something the referee neglects, when watching a game. Only, now he could leave a comment. I got slightly rubbed the wrong way too, because it reminded me of girlfriends that expected to be treated like equals in matters they didn't even have interest, talent or put in the work to master. Not your fault, just saying what goes on in my head. And probably others mens minds aswell.

@@impalaSS65 As a Gemini, I actually appreciate your detailed response and agree with much of it. As far as an expectation of treatment, I can say that I know I am vulnerable putting content online and also riding a bike. Both are apart of my journey of "figuring things out". If some bit of content ends up helping me or someone else figure it out, whatever that "it" might be, well, I think that might mean I am on the right path.

That’s what I said. Sheesh.

lol, I said the same thing, when asked if I’d ever get a trike I said I’d rather get a side car and haul my grandkids around. Thanks for understanding, just because I am admitting I don’t know what something is and asking for help doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be riding.

Thank you, someone commented on my earlier video (you?) and it makes sense now. I am just floored at some of the comments I get. But it's becoming amusing.

That is good advice. Thank you and I will let you know, I have to take it in to get the core back. $10 bucks but I'll take it.

@@Retiredgemini I salute any rider that fix's their own machine. Respect.

Thank you! Best compliment I’ve had so far. I’m just here trying to figure things out. Life in general too lol.​@@JamesMiller-q9w

@@JamesMiller-q9w Thank you, but believe me, I much rather have someone else magically take care of it for me.

Thanks, you prompted another video reminding me of some people’s blindsideness

Thank you! Not sure what that other comment is saying but I appreciate you!

This is sort of fun to see the comments. Boots and gloves, hmmm, there's an idea.

what you don't like converse? I might try those ol work boots. Oh wait, I threw them out cause I retired.

Goldwing is not on my radar. This one came my way so I bought it.

I was planning on it but with all the comments I am starting think I might leave them. Just pull them back a couple of inches. It's kind of hilarious. Besides I need to buy new cables as well and don't feel like spending the money. The road king is so much lighter than my last street glide, it's like riding a bike. Reminds me of my banana seat Schwinn as a little girl.

They are not really that bad. The mirrors are blocked by my fat arms though.

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm enjoying it.

Love it! Happy belated birthday 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yeah, I think I might keep them though.

The bike has 20” bars, theres some work to do to make it my own, might go with some 14”s from a friends changeover. In due time though.

@@Retiredgemini I'd say that's a good move as it appears that setup would be a challenge on tight turns. I'm 6'2" with 16"bars with a slight pull back.super comfy!

Thank you, I love riding. Got it from my Dad.

They are not that bad, was going to swap them out right away but $$$ is making it lower on the list.

@@Retiredgemini well I wish you good weather and light traffic then. God bless!

@@jonathanpasch6604 Thank you!

Thank you, the bar height makes me look slimmer LOL

🤣

I think so too but my kid will be trying them out for a minute or so. We’ll see what happens.

I plan to change them out for me but my son likes them so maybe I’ll keep them for a minute or so for him to try on for size.

I fixed it Ty
