What idles up when cold? Then returns to normal idle when warm? No lag time when rolling on throttle?

I'm sure you all heard about one of there two billion dollar B2's crashing a few weeks ago, due to a little condensation in one of the sensors.

I have a 08 egc..no problems with it. \\; have 5000 miles on it and nary an issue. \\; I have to wonder about all these guys who complain about noise/heat/vibration/tbw, etc... \\; How many bikes have they owned? \\; This is my sixth or seventh bike, second Harley. \\; Every one of them had their own specific and different issues..how I dealt with them was what made the bike unique and my own. If you own a bike, especially an air cooled one, you will have heat issues, you will have gear noise and you have to accept that as part of the experience. \\; Otherwise you should park your scoot and drive a cage.  \\;

No issues with my 08 Road Glide.
Love it. \\;
I have owned 7 Harleys and this is the best one by a long shot.
No I do not want my old shovel with the crappy electirc starter and an even more miserable kick starter.
I do not long for the good old days. Todays Harleys are the best ever.

Just repeating what I heard on the evening news, channel 107 to be exact. \\; For 20 bucks I'll have them send \\;you a transcript of the article
By the way... Isn't the pipot heat system controled by a heat coupling sensor? \\; My piont is... just because you have 2 billion dollars to send dosn't make something more reliable. an example: a throttle cable can be stess tested with a factor of two, for variances of material, saftey and human \\;error,...but an electronic sensor only has a stress factor of one.
Another example: \\; Look at cars 15 years old, the ones with manual windows still work, most of them at least. \\;But the cars with power windows, I bet more than half have some kind of electrical issue within their power window system. \\;
Do you have anything to add on the topic of FBW \\;racklefratz?

Nope. \\;\\\\\\; Didn't hear that at all. \\;\\\\\\; It was moisture in the pitot system. \\;\\\\\\; Pitot heat would have cleared it.
Yeah, exactly. \\;\\\\\\; Hmmmmm. \\;\\\\\\; Sorry to pop your bubble.
