I was wondering the same.

I don’t have first hand knowledge. I’ve heard the printed manuals are not great but that their online versions are good.

I’ve generally preferred buying the manufacturer’s manual even though they’re relatively expensive. Honda’s manuals and their Common Service manual in particular were excellent. KTM’s is just okay, disappointing after coming from Honda’s and BMW’s manuals, at least it gets the wiring diagram and torque specs right.

I’ve had mixed experience with Haynes and Clymer. They’re better than nothing but the photos are not so good, they rarely cover differences between years, and make a lot of assumptions.

I just read the specs and there is an SD slot.

Whoops, that’s what I get for posting while sick… https://unfinished.bike/bmw-ce-04-the-suit-and-tie-rocket-ship

I hear you. Taking the course again isn’t a bad idea, skills you don’t practice don’t get ingrained and those that are get rusty.

As far as confidence, I’ll let you in on a secret… I feel a little anxious before almost every ride and I’ve been riding since the 1980’s. I have a routine of safety checking the bike and my gear before each ride that settles me, it doesn’t take long. More than once I’ve cut short a solo ride or bailed out on a group because I wasn’t focused or feeling it (rule #1, ride your own ride). I wouldn’t worry about it.

Good on you for taking the course, you’ll do fine.

I took what was at the time the MSF BRC, basic rider course, after getting my license and riding for a year. I still do annual parking lot practice (turns, emergency braking) on my own to keep my skills fresh.

I took a 100+ mile loop hitting some easy backroads in the Mid-Hudson Valley. How about you?

DE:MD was great, I really hoped for them to finish the story. With all the horse-trading of the companies and IP, who knows if we’ll ever see one.

I briefly used the OpenFirmware that shipped on Apple PowerPC-based Macs, CMD+OPT+O+F at boot would get you to it.

I had no idea. I’m still on 7.0.x, I didn’t even realize they were sold. It only has permissions for media and files.

My OnePlus 6t swelled and split in a year. OnePlus said it was unrepairable (it still worked) and offered me $50 toward an upgrade.

Replaced it with a Pixel.

This was a while ago so it’s possible their quality control has improved over the years, but I had two Matias TactilePro keyboards fail: the first developed keybounce/chatter after a few months, the replacement developed it after a few weeks then had keys fail. They gave me some mild run around the second time and I just wrote it off rather than deal with them.

I have a number of other keyboards, including Unicomp, and only Matias and a Filco Majestouch gave me problems and the Filco went several years of daily use before needing a key switch to be replaced.
