    Magnetic Tank Bag conflict with magnetic devices

    I think you're OK with flash memory based stuff like the camera and GPS. But I'd be hesitant with a magnetic stuff such as a harddrive based mp3 player. I have a magnetic bag and have never had any problems. I don't think I usually keep a wallet in there, but I'd have to think that I've...

    Rain Suit Buyers FAQ

    When I got my suit, I got one that I thought was way too large when standing in the store. I'm pretty much an L for everything, so I got an XL ( or maybe it was even XXL... not sure). The reason is that it can be super tough to get a suit on over your riding gear when you're hopping around on...

    Need to know interest level for new Garmin Zumo 550

    Not a chance. I'm plenty happy with my Quest at about a third of the price. I wonder how much they'll get for those stoopid flame skins

    Garmin features comparison

    I'm not terribly familiar with the zumo, but sometimes the 3.5 jack is not in the unit but rather in the cradle that the unit sits in. For example on my Quest, the back of the unit has a series of small gold colored contacts for the 12v, ground, and for the audio. The contacts connect to some...

    Anybody still use a Palm Pilot?

    thanks, but w/o knowing whether it works for sure it doesn't ake sense to take it. Besides, I don't really need ore junk laying around the desk. How about postingit on eBay?

    Anybody still use a Palm Pilot?

    I have and use a V. I wonder if it works with that too.

    unfortunately they don't list the zumo yet. I would've liked to do a comparison with that to some other models.

    Nice chart. But you list the Quest and Quest2 as having a touchscreen. They do not.

    Screaming Meanie Review

    Did you get the Screaming Meanie 110 or 220? The 220 is supposedly some 10 decibels louder, but thankfully comes with a low-medium-high switch for when you don't need full bore noise (as opposed to a 2 position volume). It's also got a bit larger screen and the ability to set a target time as...

    Oil Temperature Guage

    I have one on my Bandit, and I think it's really nice to have. The probe gets the oil as a result of the prodigious splashing/slinging of oil off the spinning clutch (try running your engine w/o the filler cap removed one day). Purists would say that it's got to be inaccurate compared to the...

    Garmin 2610 - Reversing Route??

    I agree with everybody. Having two versions of every route was pretty much exactly what I did for a weeklong ride last year. I knew I couldnt accurately reverse the routes on the fly (due to the recalculating), so thats what needed to be done. I was doing a very random ride so I didnt know...

    Driving through water

    I would definitely not recommend riding through water with a depth of 10 feet or so :P Seriously though, I don't think it's all that dangerous as long as you're sure of the surface below (no big potholes, rocks, or sticky mud). Just don't tip it over and don't go deep enough to allow...

    Reno Hilton WiFi

    the more expensive the hotel, the more likely they will charge you for the internet. Go stay at Super 8 or Comfort Inn and you'll get a free connection. Stay at the Sheraton, Hilton, etc... and they'll bang you for $10 bucks more.

    Need Information On a GPS

    I have no problems with the size, but a bike-powered cradle is a must. FWIW, I associate with 8 riders who use GPS on their bikes (plus myself). Of those 9, there's 8 Quests and one Streetpilot of some sort. It's a very popular model in these parts. One thing though, I hate the Quest2. It...
