So the thing is, Motorcycles are following cars technology although they‘re around 20 years behind! Liquid cooling introduced in cars far earlier than bikes. So do fuel injection and now ABS braking. Now my real point is, will motorcycles go automatic in upcoming years? Honda have already showed some interest by introducing VFR1200F and NC700, both of them have optional automatic transmissions. As much as 99% scooters have already gone automatic (CVT to be precise). Piaggio used to had twist shifters in the 70s but now they‘re all automatic. Do you love this trend or hate it? I simply hate it, it disgusts me to my core
Spaghetti with tomato sauce once a week helps. The acids in the pasta sauce neutralize the ammonia in dog urine. After that, sprinkling the spots with pelletized gypsum and scratching it into the surface of the ground will speed up growth with reseeding. You might be able sprinkle a little right after she pees if it is in one place. One little tinkle isn't going to do much damage but repeated applications kill the grass. Male dogs will kill large trees if they only have one spot to go. More targets are better.
A manual transmission is part of what defines a motorcycle. Most motorcyclists consider an automatic not a real motorcycle. I rode a Hondamatic from the early eighties, I did not like it at all and most riders would feel the same.
After over 60 years on two wheels I have my first step-through motorcycle, AKA scooter -- A Vespa LX150ie. My hips and knees do not like swinging a leg over the saddle, which is why I went with a scooter. I was surprised that using two hand brakes was automatic even tho' it has been 50 years since I rode a pedal bike. The CVT is. ah. well. works, but is *FAR* slower off the line than a manual. My Savage was *quick* off the line. The scooter has a very noticeable wait between twisting the throttle and starting moving -- well over a quarter second. If you are used to launching at the green lights you will *not* like a CVT equipped motorcycle. The other thing that I still dislike is the CVT's variable gearage. With the Savage the exhaust beat kept even with the speed -- the scooter keeps the same RPM as it continues accelerating. ---- Bottom line, I don't see automatics being more than a small minority. Manual transmission is *automatic* after you have been riding a while. Automatic transmission motorcycles will be acceptable for old farts who do longer care about performance and scooters moving up onto motorcycles.
Automatic transmissions on motorcycle have never been popular. They've never sold well. Honda seems to have a policy these days to always have one or two models with an automatic. Remember the DN-01? Now it's the NC700, a sort of motorcycle/scooter hybrid. Motorcyclists don't like automatic transmissions. Go figure! In a big bike like the Gold Wing (and that new Gold Wing-based cruiser) it would make a lot of sense, but apparently Honda doesn't even think they'd sell enough to make up the costs. The difference between a motorcycle and a scooter is that scooters are transportation devices and motorcycles are seen more as recreation devices. Scooters are sold as simple, easy, user-friendly--if you can ride a bicycle you can just hop on one of these babies and ride it home. Motorcycles are sold as your passport to adventure and derring-do. 8^) (Of course their functions overlap somewhat.) But can you imagine a machine like a GSX-R or Ducati with a CVT? Ugh!
You need to lower the Ph in your dogs urine. You can add cranberries, blackberry or raspberry to dogs food to lower the Ph. That will help as well as keeping your grass watered. If you allow your grass to get thirsty and your dog pees the grass than drinks the urine and it dies. Every spring and fall you should over seed the entire yard.
