I know I am posing this a little late but I went last year, Meet some nice people, Demoed the v100/Stelvio. Almost got hit by someone starting their bike while they were trying to test the patch to their broken exhaust. I sadly had to leave before the sim went down as my trip down almost gave me hypothermia

And what criminal charge do you think the other driver should face?

In North Carolina a traffic charge is not a criminal offense. It is an infraction. One can be charged with a criminal offense if involved in a traffic accident if there is gross negligence found which caused serious bodily injury or death.
However, not every traffic accident that involves bodily injury or death is there someone charged with a criminal offense.
I have investigated dozens of traffic accidents were there were two vehicles involved, and there was bodily injury and even death where no one was charged with a criminal events. Some collisions between vehicles are simply accidents.

    Almost seems like magic can-bus trickery. Is Guzzi electronics that sophisticated? 

Anything electrical is likely from aprilla, Kinda sad they didn't put it on the on the v7 850s

I didn’t notice it on mine either. Guess I developed good habits!…that I’d probably want to stick to, considering none of my other bikes have it.

Cool, I didn't know that about them. Page 39 of the OM.

The turn indicators have a self-cancelling function that implements the following logic.
With the vehicle at standstill (speed = zero), the turn indicators continue flashing in-
definitely.
With the vehicle in motion, the turn signals self-cancel when one the two following
conditions is met:
• After a time (t) = 40 sec.
• After riding 500 m (0.31 mi)
If the vehicle speed reaches zero during this period, the time and distance counts are
reset and start again from zero when the vehicle starts moving once again.
Switching on the opposite side turn indicators without pressing the switch in the in-
termediate reset position causes both the time and distance counters to reset and
recommence from zero.

Sounds like it works on the same logic as the old HD signals (minus the lean angle input).

Time and distance was a Harley thing for a decade or two.

A few days ago a 22 yo male died in south Reno when a driver turned left in front of him on a major thoroughfare. Speed or impairment were not factors. From what I can tell, the driver is facing no consequences for his (or her) negligence. I find this disturbing and amazing.

And what criminal charge do you think the other driver should face?

Doesn't say anything in service manual about it.
Yes, in ECU then to dash. Maybe it's BS      I don't doubt it.  Is that bad english?

   No Steve, hadn't noticed it because I'm pretty habitual about cancelling the blinker. I'm guessing the logic is in the ECU.

You haven't noticed it yet? Must be electronic in the dash.
