What have you done to your non Triumph today

That all sounds very familiar “Ducati” from my experience with the 2013 Multistrada I had for a couple of years. Hopefully they’ve learnt to put a few more buttons on the bars these days.
To save a dedicated Hazards switch you had to hold left indicator for 3 seconds, trouble was they missed a line of code to reset the counter after each indicator operation. So depending how long a dab you used at left turns you’d typically get the hazards coming on at every tenth or so left turn give or take a few. We sussed the problem on the owners forum in a week or two, but took 18 months to convince Ducati and get it fixed. Obviously Italians don’t use indicators! :joy:

Then there’s all the “hold the indicator to the right / left whilst pressing x or y button for two seconds to achieve z…”. I am sure I’ll figure it all out, but I entered a large roundabout in touring mode, wondered why it suddenly felt sluggish as I changed lane and saw it was in urban, then took off at the exit in sport :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Maybe I’ll just channel my inner Italian and use the horn and ignore the indicators…

Fortunately most the time SWMBO was following and would warn me when the hazards kicked in so I could cancel quickly. Was quite dangerous, confusing other road users around.

That’ll probably do something else, you just haven’t found out yet. :rofl:

About the only thing I didn’t activate were the hazard lights…as far as I know…(if I even have them, must look!).

Well it was certainly loud in the confines of the busy dealership when I confidently pressed it, thinking it was a different button…

Ah, technical progress. Funnily enough, my 46 year old Italian V twin (Moto Guzzi) doesn’t have any of those problems…

Raximo adjustable levers fitted onto the Hyperstrada today. The stock levers were an enormous stretch for me, particularly the clutch as it did not have an adjustment available. The difference feels amazing; I have these on every bike now but they’re a game changer for this one and the Fireblade.

FYI the levers on my other two have not a hint of red :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:. Little bit of green on these too…Italian vibes :laughing:.

I just give homes to those red bikes that aren’t to everyone’s taste. An act of charity, if you will.
