Yep, so far it's been awesome. Except for the interruptions of work of course. Boo! Booooooooo I say!

Little dirt to scuff up the new tyres. #motosky #motorcycle

No...*you're* upside down. And I have the evidence to prove it.

So you wouldn't like that the Royal Australian Air Force is the RAAF, pronounced "Raff".

Quote from one of my favourite authors. Gives me hope in 2025.

> We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings.

This comes off pretty easily too. Just three wires to disconnect each time.

I'll see how it goes. 😀

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 1d

Yep. Front and rear cameras. Power. Handlebar controller. Its own GPS thingy. But it consequently works with or without android auto, so it's worth the extra time. Oh, and a TPMS. :)

Pretty part of the world where I live. But I've gotta tidy yesterday's wiring job for the Aoocci. Looks like a plate of spaghetti behind that thing.

Happy new bike day, mate!

Yeah, we encountered that a *lot* in Thailand. Haven't had that with the Xarpuride. It's very simple and straightforward. There are others that do more, but they rely on a lot more setup. Gotta work out what *you* want. :)

Glad you liked the vid. 😀

In case you had an urgent need to understand how to get less mud on your shock and headers, on your R1300GS.

Thanks mate. Glad you liked it. The Carpuride is simple and stable. But it does drain power. Next is the Aoocci. Not sure how to say it, or how it will do. Watch this space. :)

New video's up. Field review of the Carpuride 720 Pro.

Not a shill piece. Road test first, argument second: does a dedicated screen beat a phone on a bike?

Shot over a month across real weather, then edited.

Man, the difference between the Aoocci and the Carpuride... Carpuride is easy... plug and play. Put it on the bike, plug into the USB, and go. The Aoocci is a self-contained android tablet with cameras and TPMS but requires a *lot* of wiring.

Carpuride review out tonight.

Brains can be absolute jerks. You’re not alone. Wishing you a gentler night.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 4d

I am very lucky. 😍

She does. I just hang around and some of her gorgeousness rubs off on me. 😀

I'll do that. May do a short video review on them.

Yeah, they were super tight, so hard to get off even with a machine. and the beading was coming apart on them. Not an issue if you run tubes, but if you're tubeless. They were also twice the price. 😳

I'll let you know how I go. :)

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 6d

I hope they're better than the last ones.

DavidC @twowheelsin.com · 6d

Put some new tyres on Billie. I had Pirelli Trail 2s, but they were a misnomer. Road tyres. Bad on any kind of off-road. And almost impossible to get off without a machine. Replaced them with Shinko 805s.

Huh. It did feel like it had significant space left in the throttle at 80.
