    Most HATED Farkle or Accessory

    Grip Buddies. Not Grip Puppies, Buddies. The adhesive used on them turned to mush when riding around Denver, and made the grips simply rotate. The manufacturer was nice enough, refunded my money, and even offered to send me another set, free of charge. I told him to save his money, because I...

    Planing a MN North Shore ride

    First of all, "North Shore" and "Boundary Waters" are two separate places. The map you posted is the first one. It's a great ride, once you get over the boredom of I-35 to Duluth. Don't rule out going up Western 'sconnie, through Superior to Duluth, and up. Won't be as fast, will be much more...

    2016 Is Official 6-spd, Slipper, LEDs, Analog Tach, Price

    Bingo. Bought my '07, brand new, on eBay from Heinen's in MN and had it shipped. Bought my Tacoma in Kansas City, KS, and drove it home. Saved $2K on the FJR, $3K on the Tacoma, over what the local dealers wanted. The minute those dealers won't service my wheels is the minute I ring up the...

    Losing my M/C Racing Virginity - MotoGP or MotoAmerica

    I drive a courtesy cart for the Med Center at COTA, so am out there for MotoGP every year. Great time, my favorite event of the year.

    Sena 20s mounting kit *SOLD*

    It's not the standalone kit, but all the parts that come in that, and if I looked hard enough, I think I have the box for the standalone kit, when I bought it. What I have is all the parts that came with my warranty return, i.e. everything but the unit, which I am keeping. Note: You say you...

    Zumo 550 power button

    When mine fell out, I called Garmin, and they sent a new (reconditioned) one, in exchange for the old one. Waaaay out of warranty, and that says a lot, to me at least, about Garmin support.

    Say it ain't so, Hugh!

    Playboy announces going to strictly articles the same month Esquire celebrates their 1,000th issue. I subscribe to both, but won't renew one of them when it's that time. Hugh doesn't stand a chance against some pretty damn good competition.

    sena owners I need input

    Well, not replying promptly wasn't the case. If you want a good laugh, PM me your email address, and I'll forward you the thread. People aren't getting any smarter in customer service these days. This is an exchange I had with a rep from XM/Sirius last week. Keep in mind that I had to enter my...

    sena owners I need input

    Well, I hope for everyone else that they dumped all their poor service on me. How they could screw up my situation so bad, from combining tickets, to closing my ticket unresolved, to reopening it, but then wanting me to pay $41 to ship the unit to Mexico, (for some unknown reason), to then...

    sena owners I need input

    I finally got the return issue on my 20S resolved. Last week, after getting a invoice on PayPal from Sena, for $41, and to cover the shipping "to Mexico", I just had enough. I live In Austin, which is not Mexico, so I figured out who the CEO of US Operations is, and his email. I forwarded the...

    sena owners I need input

    My experience with Sena Warranty service continues to amaze me. They have had my 20S in their warehouse for two weeks now, and yesterday sent me a PayPal invoice for $41, to cover shipping to their location in Mexico!!! This is after I've spent a lot of my own personal time helping them fix...

    Any rumor on the 2016...?

    Nah, I just live here. Lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth, and that's just in the locker room; never mind the stands!

    Any rumor on the 2016...?

    That comes stock with two flat tires, leaky fork seals, and a burnt piston!

    sena owners I need input

    I am on AT&T, and had been grandfathered to their unlimited plan for quite awhile. My two year contract that I signed up for when I got my iPhone 5S just expired, and I thought my bill would drop by about $25/month; because, after all, AT&T had recouped the subsidy they paid on the phone when...

    2007 sitting in my garage - need advice

    An '07A in Central Texas? You must be extremely smart and good looking! Do what the folks said above, and you'll be fine.

    sena owners I need input

    I have a 20S, or had, as it's on its way back to Sena for a warranty return. Took it on a 4 day trip over Labor Day to the Ozarks, and the battery life, just using Bluetooth to my phone, was 12 hours, 6 hours, 5 hours, and the last day five hours, after which I plugged some earbuds into my 550...
