    Packing List

    What to do about detergent? Pack along a supply, or buy the expensive little one-use servings from the vending machine? Do hotel laundry rooms all even have the vending machines?

    Long Way Round

    It was on BRAVO https://www.bravotv.com/Long_Way_Round/. And I thought the very same thing about buying the KTMs.

    Long Way Round

    anybody ever see the SJAAK THE WORLD video? Good stuff. I can't find a larger version at the moment though. Oh wait, you can right click the vid and choose full screen, but it's still pretty crappy quality.

    coax or normal power cords

    it's because some garment makers have switched to the newer "coax style" (notably https://www.gerbing.com). It doesnt use coax cable like on the back of your TV set. It's more like the power cord that you stick in the back of a laptop. The outside circumfrence of the round plug is ground...

    06' electrical

    Does it really use that much? Has anyone removed the little solenoid thingie so that you can open the box anytime you like, and not use any power to run it?

    How bad of an Idiot am I???

    When I checked the synch, I promptly lost one of the little springy clips into the nether regions. I wasn't terribly concerned because my other bike (the Bandit1200) didn't even have any clips on it at all and I was the first person to service it. Funny thing is that the Bandit fiche clearly...

    Ticket On Federal Land

    But do federal performance awards translate into points back in your home state? If not and you get no points, does your insurance company ever find out and raise your rates? What if you're traveling the country.... do you have to return to a specific federal court or can you schedule one...

    suggested rt. n.y to robbinsville tn

    Pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway at the beginning in Waynesoboro VA (or if you're especially motivated, Skyline Drive from Front Royal VA) and take it to the end between Cherokee and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Head a bit north and take the Foothills Parkway west until you hit 129. Head south...

    LASIK

    maybe lasik would help this poor couple CLICK ME (but not if you're at work please) (4.81MB) the text says "Need Glasses?" I finally got off my hump and went for the consultations a year ago, but I was told I was an unsuitable candidate for Lasik. Gotta pay heed when the doc tells you that...

    TBS

    two things on the issue..... Airport Security does not like the look of the Morgan Carbtune in your carry-on luggage when they run it through the X-ray machine. Don't ask how I know. When I checked the synch, I promptly lost one of the little springy clips into the nether regions. Is this...

    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    Then again, I've been there in the 4th week of May where I had to chip ice off the seat in the morning. Electric vests and grip heaters were a blessing. Other years it was fuggin hot.

    any unused wires available?

    I just checked that spot last week on my future bike, and I determined it was not switched (always hot).

    Bolt size for unused left mirror hole

    You need a ball that's mounted to the motorcycle, which is discussed earlier in the thread. Then you need a cradle, which you already have. Now you need a ball on the back of the cradle. I've been told that for the Garmin cradle you will need a 1" ball base that has an standard "AMPS hole...

    Wheel weights

    I've bought a few clip-ons from OEM parts suppliers such as https://www.crotchrocket.com or https://www.ronayers.com. Just look up the part numbers from the fiche for your bike, and order away. Well, I mean next time you're ordering stuff anyway. No sense in paying $7.00 postage for a few...
