It was, of course, a sweeping statement and all sweeping statements are false. Most of the time  :D

I think the behaviour you had described is "kind of" us bikers' behaviour : ride with traffic's flow, but if the opportunity presents itself, overtake the row in the blink of an eye. Bikes do it on 2 wheels, EV's do it on 4.

That EU regulation's § 5.2.22.3 he mentions, read "electric regenerative braking systems, which produce a retarding force upon release of the throttle pedal, shall not generate a signal". But it now seems to be modified into "activation of part of the service braking system by ‘selective braking’ or by functions whose primary intention is not to decelerate the vehicle (e.g. slight actuation of the friction brakes to clean the discs) shall not generate a signal". Which doesn't look too strange to me (yes indeed, before, the wording was strange and even dangerous).

Anyhow, I don't recognise that Hyundai's behaviour in my car (it only has one-pedal drive available). I don't know exactly how it works (I tend to think software-determined decelleration-based), but if I decelerate gently, my brake lights don't illuminate. And if I let go my acceleration pedal more eagerly (not necessarily fully released), they do. Once I'm completely stopped, they also illuminate (automatically). So I don't think there's a big difference with "normal" ICE cars...

And by the way : recall these Huyndai's ? Nowadays, there's also something called "Over The Air" (software) updates. Should all be fixable in 1 software update...

Haha yeah a slight hiccup is its max speed is around 15-20mph!

Take care not to crash it like this compatriot of yours did, right before having to catch his ferry ...

Booked (it took a while to sort everything out regarding payment methods for these Premier Inns). Looking forward for this first bike trip of 2024.

It all started with Ducati looking for downforce, some years ago.

Dealerships are always happy to see your money for maintenance. But if it comes to buying your second hand K1300S after spending all that money, they're not very interested. Then it sounds like (imagine the dealer's face as if he's in big pain) "Unfortunately, the K1300S is a very difficult bike to sell second hand, you know"...

Hence very unlikely I'll ever buy a BMW again.

You can buy Teslas 24/7. Online.

It would be good to see you again Philippe, let me know when you have decided.

Hopefully no pandemic this time...

So, who wants to join us?

I'm considering it. For me without the marriage option  :afro:

Don't know if this changes a lot. On the other hand, there are other domains where half an inch makes a big difference ...  :-X

It's a very decent mount, well finished, good quality. I had 2 different BikePenR ones on 2 different bikes, and both were well finished and robust. You may want to have a look at some older (K1300S-time) video's on my YouTube channel (same name as my nickname here) to have an idea of how it looked like "in real life"  8)

EDIT : some memory, far, far away makes me think the BikePenR mount for the GT was a different one than the one for the K1300S, though ... I think their website was clear on that point. Just so you don't order the wrong one...

I think all who have ever had 3 K1300S's should get a discount on the membership here  :thumbsup:

Feel free to ask questions.

Hope you get the right price for it. But erm... what bike will you be riding soon, now that you're selling your last K1300S ?
