Re: New Member In Ohio

Most who hear I'm riding a scooter think it's like a Vespa or Buddy, as that is what they have in their mind when you say scooter. Then they see it and they go "That's not a scooter".

Re: 2014 Honda Forza US Freeway Speeds

Here in Denver I'm averaging about 78 MPG with mostly city driving which is fabulous. The wind here can be pretty bad too, but since adding the Givi windshield my mileage has only been getting better. The wife and I are driving our Forza's (she has her own) up to Estes Park this weekend so it will ...

Yes that is what I did. Wish it was documented in the US manual.

Gauge Magically changed to Kilometers

For some reason on my stop to get gas today the gauge changed from MPG to KM. I've looked in the manual and there is no explaination on how to change it back. I've tried various combinations on the two buttons with no luck. Anyone with an idea on how to get it changed back?

They must make you prepay over in the UK. Here in the US you can't fill out without leaving money with the cashier or using a credit card at the pump. Pretty hard to steal gas anymore.

Re: Gas Gauge

Your support to remove helmets in UK filling stations before filling so it's easy to see what's happening. We don't have the big concertina thingys on the nozzles either. Yep I probably need to stop being lazy, take a couple of minutes and take off my helmet so I can see better. Or maybe put a smal...
