    Howto Hardwire Spot Satellite Messenger / Tracker / Locator

    Thanks! I this is great info. It is not the cost of the batteries that worries me so much as the time it takes to change them, and the need to always carry spares. When you are on the clock and find your batteries going, and it is raining , and you are a zillion miles from any form of...

    I have saved a considerable nest egg in Canadian Tire Money. Would that be considered foreign currency?

    FJR1300 vs ST1300

    Duh. I ride the ST because of a sick honda bloated pig fetish. I am in therapy, I think it is helping.

    The Cognoscente Group's "Wild, Wild West!" Rally

    Thanks a lot Warchild. My children will be barefoot and hungry, but I'll have fresh tires. Anyone care to teach me how to play cards? I lost interest in the activity with 'Go Fish' , so have some catching up to do. :(

    motoport gear MESH? or 1/2 mesh

    The mesh pants are lined. You could wear nothing underneath them. I have the kevlar mesh. I live in Canada. For FL, I would go with the full mesh. It is not uncomfortable in any way to sit on in my experience. With their liner and a pair of long pants or long johns they are fine for cooler...

    Connect Garmin power cord to battery tender plug?

    Every garmin gps is different- some run on one specific voltage others can handle a wide range. My 376C can take up to 24 volts. The 2720 is designed specifically for 12 v, with a max of 13.8. You kind find this info in the Appendix to the Owners Manual. The 2720 cig lighter has a 1 amp fuse...

    Two awesome Map/GPS apps

    I admit Mapsource has a bit of a learning curve, but once you 'get it' it can't be beat. BTW, it has one click 'view in google earth' giving you all the detail, topography etc. Whenever I create a route in mapsource, I go straight to google earth and then examine it in detail. You can then flip...

    Two awesome Map/GPS apps

    Relying on a mapping tool that requires an internet connection is a deal breaker for me. I don't have a problem with Mapsource. Good info on bing though, I will check it out. Tracking via cel phone- relies on cel phone service. There is no cel phone service in much of the west. SPOT uses...

    Considering to build instead of buying.

    Yeah ,yeah lots of hassles, lots of headaches, can buy cheaper in the current market yada yada yada but building your own home can be one of the most personally rewarding experiences you will ever have.

    Will the Droid supplant other electronic devices?

    Consider the wonderfulness of an 'all-in-one' device. You drop it, lose it, have it stolen, battery dies, charging system not working, unspecified warranty covered or not covered malfunction and you are SOL. Everything is over. no phone , no tunes, no gps, no hand-held massager- you have nada...

    ST1100

    The ST1100 has a fuel pump inside the tank. On bikes that have been sitting for a long time it is notorious for gumming up and not working. I had mine replaced with a non-functioning used one. Oh joy. Eventually sprung for an new OEM. More f*cking joy. At least it worked. I am by no means...
