I'm tony.
Bought myself a honda dct africa twin as a retirement present. Its tremendous being back on a bike . Unfortunately all my bike gear has shrunk!!!
Struggling with the complexity of all settings but getting there.
Not sure if the dct requires me to scratch a few boxes off my man card but dont really care.

“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

About 40 years ago there were two young lads near me that had one each and also a Fiat Dino coupe that ran around with them. They did sound very nice, I recall the distinct whirr and rustle of the valve gear.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
