Is this gradually going to escalate until someone comments or gets offended?

Possibly....
My first experience of CVT in 1990 gave me a grin for about 5 minutes, beyond that I came to realise that using such a machine takes away all skills needed to ride a REAL motorcycle with the sole exception of balance, kind of makes me cry for the past never mind smiling for an automatic future using what has become known as Twist & Go.

Yes, I can appreciate that sentiment. I initially rode an auto because of a knee injury so I experienced the same lament for the lack of gears.Jimo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 6:49 am Possibly....

However, switching back 3 years later made me realise that the absence of gears and a clutch was actually quite welcome. In fact, instead of detracting from a ride it made the other aspects more pleasurable.

Having spent years having to think gears then commuting without its a no brainer and having covered 120 miles today clunking through the box my left knees shagged tonight.
Bloody good shout time to dig out some retro horror too " I crave your flesh"

Re: The Burgman Grin it's real
Not sure what skills are taken away by riding an auto.. Maybe you've been riding the wrong auto.. looking at the list of machines below your name, I think you have!Jimo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 6:49 am Possibly....
