Extra keys?

[Mellow]

Understood.
I’ve seen my “miles to empty” displayed from 390 to 230 depending upon speed and wind. But usually about 350 and I’ve only ridden from fill to fill without stopping on two tanks. But once in a while I’ll do a fill without getting off the bike. Some un-named people do it all the time.

I think I could have hit 400.... lol

Uhhhhh - So your arrival time was 6 minutes before the current time? Or you still had 23:54:00 more to go???? Or crossing a time zone???
Anyway it was a wise decision to get gas. I think the lowest I ran my tank so far was about 20 miles to empty. I was keeping mental track of "distance to empty" vs "distance to gas station" and there was a 1 to 1 relationship at first but then the "miles to empty" started to gain on the "miles to gas" toward the end. Lesson learned. My tank is 6.25 gal and the fill was just barely over 5 gallons. Always better too soon than too late. I learned as a teenager that it's easier to put gas in a motorcycle than to push a motorcycle.

LOL.. had me thinking for a moment there.... I was heading to Green River Campground in Utah so the GPS was showing Mtn Time arrival...

I'd say your display has way more info than I need. My short trips to my breakfast spots got locked into my brain cells about 15 years ago.
Maybe I should switch things up a little more often, but so far it is working for me.

Range is the only number I really care about... I can switch to the main simplified screen and show range on the top... I just like to see some of the other info... just for giggles. yes, I giggle when I ride.

A little paranoia there. If this was true, why aren't all cars/bikes being stolen out of every parking lot?

On the new BMW motorcycles, the key fob actually goes to sleep and you have to shake it to wake it up and communicate with the bike. I've seen that this past week on a 1300 GS. My 1250 might actually do that too but since I always have it in my jacket, I wake it up putting that on. I need to test that. BRB

I was hoping some manufacturer would come up with an easier work around then putting the fob to sleep manually.
It is BECAUSE vehicles were so easy to steal that BMW did that. Fortunately, many of us can turn our vehicles off remotely, track them, etc. that many vehicles are NOT stolen.
But lets look at the numbers.
In the US, Over 850,000 total motor vehicles were stolen, with roughly 60% (~510,000+ cars) linked to keyless and electronic theft techniques. [1, 2]
In England and Wales, out of 129,159 total vehicle thefts recorded in a recent annual period, 60% to 70% (about 77,500 to 90,400 cars) were keyless. [1]
But the problem is now much worse...they are even using CAN bus injection

Keyless car theft in North America is surging. Read how OEMs, insurers, and owners, in the USA & Canada can stop CAN injection and relay attacks.

In this article, you will read how automakers are being sued left and right, in the US and other countries, for not coming up with a better system

So am I paranoid? I think not. In Spokane, the car theft capital of the Pacific NW, ethnic gangs from Europe are experts but they steal cars for other reasons. Simple shaved keys get them a car for doing drug deals, then abandon. In other cases, expensive parts can be had quickly through theft.

I hope the law suits against the OEMs bear fruit. Whether or not you have to shake the fob or wake it up with a button push is a good first step. Before the keyless fob, the theif really had to want the car, using smashing techniques to get around the chipped keys. Draws attention. With a couple of small cheep boxes, the attention is eliminated. I also have a bright yellow steering wheel lock the detectives at work gave me.

Me too. But there is a certain type of personality that loves info and numbers. And saves everything, especially data... I am pretty happy with the 2010-15 level of technology.

Anal-Retentive vs. OCPD
While casual slang uses "anal-retentive" loosely, it is not a clinical mental health diagnosis: [1, 2]

• • Anal-retentive: A colloquial personality style or quirk.
  • OCPD (Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder): A recognized clinical diagnosis where a rigid need for control and perfection significantly impairs a person's daily life and relationships
