Lots of good suggestions... Including some GPS units to definitely avoid! ;) Sounds like this PDA/GPS combo is working well for several users so I'm definitely going to make the plunge today. Tontofjr, you mentioned the new SiRF III chipset being able to acquire up to 20 satellites. There...

Personally, I mount first and balance the bike but leave the kickstand down. Next I ask my wife to get on. She also mounts from the same side as the kickstand and if there were any problems, I still have the kickstand to help save me from going over. So far it's been a non-issue. She's...

Thanks FJRDON and Yanktar. My only concern was signal reception. If the units are able to acquire without direct line of sight to the satellites then it sounds like they have a bit more sensitivity than my old hand-held GPS units from years past. They didn't acquire anything in the house so...

The dark blue patches on this SCORPION match exactly...

Thanks Yanktar. Sounds like a nice unit. The water proof case and magnetic mounts are pretty good ideas. In addition to mounting it on the FJR tank, I could mount it on the OUTSIDE of the car to acquire the best signal. Hmmm... That would keep me from having to string a wire to an external...

Thanks for the feedback Speedfreak. I have the Sprint PCS (CDMA) version of the phone so it doesn't appear that I'll be able to take advantage of the GPRS weather updates. Definitely would have been a nice option to have... I agree with you about the screen size. Trying to read the tiny Palm...

I've been considering a GPS unit that displays via bluetooth on my Treo 650 Phone/PDA. The cost of this setup is considerably less than a dedicated GPS unit (about $100 - $300) and, from what I've been able to gather so far, works just as well. The GPS receivers look relatively small and some...

Hmmmm... I was expecting to have to go up to LA to find the best deal. These guys are only about 10 miles from my house! Sweet! B) Now I know where I'll be buying my '06 - that is, after I hear the reviews from ANYBODY that has actually ridden one. I'm still torn between the A/AE and I...

Fry it baby!!! :clap: Ever since I fried my first turkey I haven't looked back. First of all it only takes about 90 minutes and second it is sooo much juicier than baked. The only thing that compares is smoked but I don't like waiting all day for it to get done...

Yeah, this website is apparently run by some enterprising young college freshman from his dorm room. The advertisers are annoyed because people have a central location (and advanced notice) to start comparing prices early and therefore avoid the impulse buying that frequently occurs when people...

I think you're absolutely right. They DID know exactly what they were getting when they signed TO and I think they're doing the right thing now by not capitulating to his whining and not paying him a dime more than they have to. I don't think there are many people that can argue about the...

HERE'S another Black Friday website that actually scans in the sale ads that are going to be released tomorrow (Thanksgiving).

Some enterprising person should set up a bike wash to deal with all the long distance riders coming into town. There's gonna be a LOT of dirty bikes riding into town that are gonna wanna look good in front of their peers...

Which is why I'm a bigger fan of College sports than I am of Pro sports of any kind... college players haven't developed the over-inflated egos (yet).

I think it's the exact OPPOSITE! You've actually EARNED your FJR Badge. People that don't know how to have some fun on this bike need to turn in their badges. :P

I'm just saying I wish there was a way to make this guy kiss ALL deals goodbye. We've all gotten accustomed to "looking the other way" and giving them a "fresh start" when they move to another team. This IS a business decision. I just think they should have TRUE performance-based contracts...

Man am I sick of this guy. Anybody that watched the Monday Night Football game got an earful of TO-this and TO-that. He's the poster-child for all the self-centered, arrogant, classless athletes in the league. Mike Irvin spent the entire evening kissing ass every time they mentioned TO...

[in the voice of Walter Kronkite].... and now, back to our regularly scheduled thread... Congratulations PACMAN. A couple of questions (I would say "if you don't mind" but that would be a question too) : 1. What part of country do you live in? (There's nothing in your profile and that will...

I had LASIK to fix my nearsightedness (+2.0 in both eyes) about 5 years ago. My vision is STILL 20/15 in both eyes (or is that 20/10 if you can read the bottom line with both eyes?). I'm a big advocate of the procedure...

It might have been me. I was riding out that way earlier today. My route was 94E to Buckman Springs Rd to Sunrise Hwy through Julian and back down through Japatul to Ramona... Definitely a nice day for a ride... :D
