    First SNAFU this year

    OK as a retired gov't employee (granted military, but still) and the son of a retired postal rural carrier. I can say the USPS isn't what it was 15 yrs ago. I can remember when I was akid riding with my Dad on his route and helping deliver mail on snow days from school. He'd hand me the mail for...

    Towing an FJR on a trailer

    I have a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L inline 6cyl with auto OD, that currently has nearly 192K miles on it. A couple years ago, we pulled a loaded 4X6 foot U-Haul from northern Cali to Las Vegas for my sister in law. Same year we towed a 17ft pop up tent trailer from home to near Pioneer/Jackson...

    I gotta say, I'm amazed. Just got a response from Mike Corbin himself! Hi Ray, I have not seen the photos of seat yet, but the story is true.. I try to ride new ideas to Sturgis every year... The seat was whipped up at my tool box in an hour or so... Worked extremely well in high...

    Just fired off an email to Corbin alerting them to the ad and to see if they want to own up to it. Be interesting to see what their reaction is.

    Just my 2cents worth here...... that don't look like its anything Mike Corbin came up with. Maybe the basic design of the seat and the smuggler trunk, but that fan and how its mounted? Looks too rough to me. Corbin has been well known for quality work over the years and that looks cobbled...

    Funny pic at Hwy36

    I enjoyed riding 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna, then 101 north to Orick and back to Arcata. 299 east to Weaverville then 3 north to Gazalle-Callahan Rd (sp?). 3 thru Trinity then G/C Rd got pretty technical and my bride was riding behind me on her bike before she even got her license, only had...

    ARMY PCS decal question

    I retired in 1999 from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. When I bought my bike I was in Dover DE and registered it there. Now I live in Quincy CA and the closest base is Beale. I still have the Dover Stickers on the bike and nothing on the car. Just show my ID at the gate and I'm granted access. The...

    Mount for Zumo 550

    Check gpscity.com. They are an authorized RAM mount dealer and have everything you need for mounting your Zumo anyway you want. I will recommend getting either the taller connecting leg of the one with the pivot in the middle. I just got back from a weekend ride with the taller one and I'm going...

    SPOT - Emergency situations

    If you want a SPOT, nows the time. Cabela's has a rebate coupon; buy the SPOT, sign up for two years, get the purchase price refunded. Not a bad deal. Heres a link to the promotion. The 2 year basic service is nearly $200 and the tracking is $50 per year, so its still kinda spendy. Then again...

    Rider Missing Lolo Pass to W. Yellowstone.

    Latest update as posted on Pashnit by the missing riders Brother-in-Law: Update as of 9/11. There is little new news at this point. The Walla Walla Police Department is trying to access bank information to see if Donald used a debit card to buy gas. We think it was unlikely he did, as his...

    Rider Missing Lolo Pass to W. Yellowstone.

    Saw this on Pashnit and figure more exposure is better. Donald Masters left Orofino, ID, Monday, August 31, headed for West Yellowstone and then on to Denver. He has not been seen or heard from since. We have reason to believe he may have gone missing Monday (he was due into Denver Wednesday)...

    CA Cage Drivers

    No where here in the states is it anywhere near as bad as what I experienced in Saudi Arabia. Try driving they downtown Dharan at rush hour. They had 3 traffic lanes and there were usually 5 lanes of vehicles. Most Saudi nationals I saw driving had one hand on their cell phone and the other...

    GPS with headphone jack (not bluetooth)

    I have the Zumo 550 and I haven't even tried anything BT on it. I use a hard wired extension cord run under the tank right with the power cord for my ear buds. I have the female jack end sticking right out of the front of the seat. The 550 comes with two mounts, one for hard mounting on the bike...
