    Anyone buying an iPad 2?

    Why? Do you think the person driving is going to hit you because I wasn't watching them? :P Fine, I'll use the 5 megapixel camera (with LED flash and Carl Zeiss glass lens) to monitor them at the same time! David

    Anyone buying an iPad 2?

    The software is not "unapproved". It is community reviewed by Nokia employees and community members with in depth programming knowledge. This to avoid spam, ads (ads are a problem with Apple products, it's a big part of their cellular bandwidth usage and the reason ATT&T connection is so slow-...

    Anyone buying an iPad 2?

    No SD. No true multitasking. No open source software. If you pay $800 for a device shouldn't you be able to decide what goes in it, software wise? Support from Apple costs $$$ (once warranty is up) and external support is hard to come by. Buy an Android tablet instead (too bad it's an Apple...

    Motorcycle-Superstore (dot) com is very good with returns. If you call them and order you can make certain they'll take it back if it doesn't fit. Also in CT is Cycle Gear in Manchester CT. They also have a store in Orange CT. Their selection is pretty good and they often have sales with great...

    Front fork suspension settings

    The lowest nut on the top of the fork is not something you should touch unless you are replacing the shock fluid. The next one up from the bottom is the pre-load adjustment. Some adjust it for comfort but it is really designed to adjust the suspension for your weight. The knob at the top is the...

    GPS Advice

    The Nokia N900 has great blutooth support, Pandora software, it's own GPS and it has true multitasking so you can use all of these at once. It does have a slightly smaller (but far more responsive) screen. The N900 also has a 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and you can geotag the photos to...

    GPS Advice

    I use a Nokia N900 in a Givi S850. The N900 is great as it is 100% open source so I can do as I please with it. I have Ovi Maps, Navit and Mappero and all work well. Mappero works the best but the voice guidance can sometimes sound very close to the turn you need to make. There is a developer...

    Helmets

    What SacramentoMike said. You can only wear what fits your head shape (LONG OVAL, INTERMEDIATE OVAL, ROUND OVAL, etc.). You could wear something else, but you won't be happy with the pain which results. Try them all on and bring an air horn or something else which makes a whole lot of noise...

    Gauging interest: FJR rearsets

    From the parts fiche picture I would think that I could rotate the rear brake pedal as I wish (part #1 attach to part #4): https://webservices.motorsportdealers.com/parts/partImages/YAM/2/MCY/2005/FJR13T_TC/IMAGES/REAR_MASTER_CYLINDER.Gif is this so or is the angle which it attaches fixed (does...

    Gauging interest: FJR rearsets

    Skoot - "I know that this post is of quite some age at this point but I'm new to the FJR..." <<in my first response here. Right you are, an anomaly. You can be sure I don't buy off the rack... and not because I don't want to. My legs are much shorter than the average and as a result the...

    Gauging interest: FJR rearsets

    I know that this post is of quite some age at this point but I'm new to the FJR. Without rearsets I cannot stay with the FJR. While I'm 5'8" tall my inseam is only 27". That puts my lower legs straight up and down but back just slightly which makes me feel like I'm off balance and cannot ever...
