    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    All the advice is much appreciated. If I have gotten one piece of information above all others is that the weather is unpredictable and so I will pack both jackets. Thanks for all the input.

    I can't stand it anymore!!!

    All that ranting about how wonderful BMW is and he is buying an FJR. What a bout product loyalty? Mmmmm....this posts smells like yesterdays diapers.

    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    Excellent advice all around. I have already got the Frog Togs and they are great. Knowing my wife, I am sure we will be carrying the warmer jackets along with the air mesh ones. Really looking forward to it.

    First Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

    Wife and I are loading the 05 on the Auto Train in Sanford on June 1st and will arrive in Lorton the next morning. From there we are heading to Skyline Drive and then down the BRP into NC. How cold does it get up there in June, thinking about bringing the heavier jackets along with the phoenix...

    Never use GlobalMotorsports.us

    Maybe it is just me, but my perception based on what I read is someone that is an impatient hot-head. Never mind that you didn't take the time of year in ordering into consideration, but you immediately start referring to someone as incompetent without first determining who the incompetent...

    Garmin 2610 Mounting Options

    Looking for recommendations for mounting the Garmin 2610 on my 05. RAM mount or other. What do you use?

    It pays to stay alert...

    Another excellent example of DWHUA. At least they were not driving that stupid on a residential street or highway.

    What's on YOUR list?  

    Well, since I got the Sargent seat, Starcom1, and my XM Roady2, I guess all I need to add is a GPS. I think Santa is gonna bring me a Garmin 2610. I really can't see adding much more, this is such a great bike it don't need much except the personal farkles.

    East Coast Trip

    We are without a doubt going to take the BRP and travel that way until we cut over to Charleston. We are planning a week to ten days. How is the weather up there late April, early May? My wife is a true keeper. When I asked her if she wanted to go to Europe or take the FJR out for a trip up...

    California Sport Touring?

    I have ordered several items from CAS (Starcom1, grips, throttle rocker, all ordered on separate occasions) The order was placed online. I received a confirmation email almost immediately after placing the order. Each item was received within a few days and I have not had a single problem with...

    Sargent Seat

    I am 510, 230, with a 30 inch inseam. Old powerlifter. The Sargent seems to bring me up a bit with not so much forward lean as the stocker. I noticed that I had none of the usual right hand numbness and noe of the "crushed grapes". I do have the Heli risers on the bars. It was great.

    Sargent Seat

    Got the seat on Tuesday and took it out today for a 350 trip down to West Palm Beach and back. The seat was fantastic, I had none of the butt pain or squirming while I was riding and after 6 hours in the saddle with the 90+ degree temperatures today here in Florida it was still perfect. Well...

    Sargent Seat

    I will post some pics, if I can figure it out. I tried a Russell that was sitting on an 05 at my dealer on consignment and I really didn't care for it.

    Sargent Seat

    Got my new Sargent seat today. 10 day turn around. Got the blue stitching and it looks pretty good. Gonna take a ride from my house in central Florida to Palm Beach (360 round trip). I will post a report on how my butt survives.

    To Autocom, Or...

    After much reading of the different opinions of all the comm gear, I finally decided on the Starcom1. I have had it for almost a year now and it has performed flawlessly. Rider to pillion, XM Roady2, and even my cell phone. Everything works great. Glad I got it.
