    ATGATT and suitcases

    Agree. On one of my Alps tours the airline lost another rider's luggage containing all his gear. I loaned him an extra leather jacket I had brought. He had to buy a helmet & gloves. Took 5 days till his stuff caught up with him.

    The first jet-powered flying man in the history of aviation

    bikes, blues & bbq

    Won't be going. A local HD rider asked if I wanted to go with him & his wife. Nice enough people but they wear absolutely zero gear (their choice, their risk, that's cool) but I just don't think I'd enjoy it.

    Will My Tires Make It To NAFO & Beyond....

    6000 miles on my front PR2. Measured remaining tread depth to wear bars, have 2/32" = approx 1.6mm. If my calculations are correct, it has 2700 miles of life left on it before I hit the wear bars. If I factor accelerated wear during the tire's end of life, say at 1.5 wear rate, the tire has...

    Why Streets and Trips over MapSource

    Umm, I can deal with MS but I'm still lost with S&T. Still haven't even figured out where/how to save any routes. What folder do ya use? What extension?

    Netbooks

    I went with the Acer Aspire One. 6+ months of usage, took it to SFO and on a few camping trips. May not be the best, but for $260 at Walmart I'm really pleased with it.

    MCCruise Surging...anyone?

    No surging with my MC Cruise. That doesn't help you much I know, just saying the surging does not seem normal based on my experience.
