    rode my bike to work last nite. Felt weird/ odd. Forgot where all the switchs and buttons were. Everything on the '15 is different. Cruise on opposite handle bar. Gonna take the book to work and bone up on the stuff.

    LOL thats the kind of weird/odd I like. I haven't seen the 2015's up close. I may have to test ride one to experience this weird/odd stuff.

    You should,just for the curiosity of it. It's all different. Each side of the handlebar grips does a plethora of things now. I had it down pretty good by the end of October but have forgotten everything in 5 months. The best part is the integrated GPS on the 6.5 screen.

    Glad you got out and rode the bike. Bet it felt good even if it was to work.

    It did. It's all still new to me. I rode it one month,1000+ plus miles before I put it up for the winter in November. Ben reading up on the new technology. Lots of technology in the infotainment center.

    Was on a chapter ride and the second group of Road Captains were told to change the CB channel from 30 to 34. Holy crappola I went how do you do that. It took me awhile to figure it out and had to have another guy who is a computer guru come over and help me. Yea, the info center is certainly much more complicated, especially for us old guys. :)

    Had mine out for a short run on Sunday. Felt great to be riding again. Then the top end began to be knocky. Uh oh.

    Bought sunglasses last year that have a magnified panels. Didn't use them much last year. Will use them every time I ride now because otherwise I cannot see the small writing on the infotainment.

    Ha, I had to have glasses made that are the auto dark kind but also have readers built into them, just to read the infotainment center when riding.
    It's funny before I had to take my glasses off to see up close. Then I had cataract surgery on my eyes. Can see great long distant now but up close really sucks.
