I'm so damn anal about bikes I sometimes think I should just buy OLD bikes. I did that with an 1150 Adventure and spent a bunch of time and money restoring it to as-new status. Talk about idiocy.

I be careful with the 376 (I still have 376, 378, 478, and a 640 on order when it comes out...I know, I'm nuts), but leaving the 376 under power WITH UNIT OFF and even with the GXM30 shut off the unit sucks some serious amerage; I haven't put the ammeter on the circuit to check the parasitic draw but twice I came out to a dead battery in the morning (dead enough that Uncle Canbus wouldn't allow starting)

When I find out where the battery is (that is, when I get the damn HP2S) I will likely install a Powerlet outlet as I've done on all other bikes.
