DNFs are not necessarily machine failures.
More people riding a certain brand means more chances for a deer strike, get off or missing the cut off time.
I had a 2004 BMW with servo assist abs brakes. With the engine off they barely did anything. BMW called it residual braking. That sucked when the ABS went out 600 miles from home.
I have the same dehydrator. I give a lot away and get the most compliments on ground deer meat from the jerky gun. 4.5 hours and its done, I use curing salt since I usual do 15 pound batches.
That was me who beeped with my buddies on his 2014 FJR and Goldwing. We hopped over to Hundred on 7 then got smacked with the storm on 250 on the way back. Lots of debris on 26 and 260 but we had 380 miles of fun.
