    Southern Nevada, Chances of snow in the Passes

    Stage Coach Inn - is where we have had the White Stag off and on. Used to be the Exchange Club but we have been boycotting that for several years due to mistreatment of one of our riders. The gas station right on the corner of 95 when you come into town (from the south) on the main drag (it is...

    Next newbie!

    easy way is to plug it into the electrical outlet in the glove box (assuming you have an '06) - that is sort of lousy but works will for a temporary fix. not sure about the 2820 and whether or not it has a battery back up. If it doesn't and you want to leave it on for tracking average speed...

    Southern Nevada, Chances of snow in the Passes

    I really hate to say this -- but "it depends". Cedar City is the pace of Brian Head Ski resort (not really, but close enough) and I have seen snow on this road many times that time of year, though March is starting to push the safe side - but you can be at elevation and snow is certainly a...

    another gps question

    in short - yes - they are quite good for a bike. The only thing i don't like is that you need to hard wire it to a hot lead instead of a switched one because there is no internal battery that will run the thing when the bike is off. Also - make sure you have a compact flash card in it rather...

    Helmet Replacement

    I replace mine: 1. If it hits the ground real hard, in a get off or if I were to drop it off a height or maybe multiple times off the seat. Would probably depend on where it landed. 2. After about 3 or 4 years - irregardless of any knocks or damage 3. When it doesn't fit as well - Most...

    This girl is gonna get hurt

    since she said she does it for the adrenaline rush - and her technique is so obviously lacking .... I'm wondering: 1. how she figured out that she needed to wear a helmet for the "helmet scrape" 2. how she continued to ride a mini-bike so miserably without a helmet? 3. How hard would it be...

    USA ARTICLE FROM TODAY

    very moving story - my dad was at D-day and he planned all his life to make it to the 50 year anniversery. Unfortunately he didn't live that long. He was also at the Battle of the Bulge. He really never talked to me about the war and even though a lifer in the military urged me to run away...

    K&N

    as others have pointed out - if its pink - its oiled. most folk over oil to check you might stick a piece of paper on the filter and see if it stains with oil trick for oiling is to find a plastic baggie and put filter and small amount of oil in the bag. you can rub it in from the outside of...

    HD are safer!!!

    nope - just saying that Billy was looking pretty cool on that bike - Nicholson, however looked like a dweeb wearing that football helmet. Ever notice in the movie that they rarely were riding fast enough to even get their hair to move. I read somewhere that most of it was filmed at about 10...

    Poll - Group Buy for Fuel Cell system for all model year FJR's?

    Skyway - I would definitely be interested at that price. A cover and capacity for hydration system would be the nuts. I wouldn't care if the back seat had to be removed for the cell however this would mean that it would have to be relatively water resistant to rain leaving puddles under the...

    HD are safer!!!

    Can't be safer if the 1500 to 2000 miles per year are between pubs. I had a boss who spent a ton of money hopping up his HD. pipes, jets, piston work - a lot of money. We were at a bike week thing (I was riding a Valkyrie at the time) and he put his bike on the dyno. Came out to something...

    Garmin 2610

    I've had one for about a year - bought it used. replace the disk drive with a 2 gb card - and no worries. As far as I know they are milspec waterproof to something like 30 feet for a certain amount of time. Only problem I've had is with the power cord not sticking into the receptacle properly...

    Back Protection Armour

    the best use of the arm sleeve holder - by far. Been keeping my kids' pictures in there for 10 years (or more), though I haven't updated lately. As for back pads. I have a Bohn back pad made for the stich and a couple of complaints. if you use their velcro attachments it will quickly eat...
