    To anyone who has had a gen II fairing off

    To get a good idea what is under the plastic, you could click below to view the entire 2006 FJR stripped of all bodywork. THE NAKED FJR

    Garmin MapSource

    If someone wants to take a cash bet, come to my house and let me prove that you don't have to have your PC unlocked to update your GPS. Just did it Friday on mine. I never unlocked my PC (says 08 maps locked every time I launch MapSource) and yet I updated the map data on both the PC from 7 to...

    06 Needs New FI Map

    All my mods are listed, and they are electronic/audio. As for the barbarian mod, the only thing I did was give myself the ability to access the diagnostic screens that are otherwise locked out. I did not alter the oxygen mixture numbers, but good job on once again jumping to presumption to...

    Garmin MapSource

    Sounds like he's in the same boat as me. GPS is unlocked, PC is not. If you can find it, get that gold slip of paper that came in the box and go online to get the unock code for your PC software. If you can ever get through during their business hours, get a customer agent to give you a code...

    Techmount - ZUMO Mounting ?

    All the Garmin units use the "industry standard" AMPS spec spacing, kinda like how most all LCD computer monitors these days have a standard pattern for attaching to wall mount or moveable-arm mounting setups.

    Upcoming Job Opening...

    I have been a Remedy developer since 1997 and hold the sometimes over-hyped "Remedy Approved Consultant" top certification. It's currently what I do for my employer on a Navy project.

    LONG-TERM REPORT: ESG130 Stator

    Yes, Gen 2's are upgraded, but remember the law of capacity...things will always expand to occupy the available space. Now we're finding more and more farkles to put on the bike, and even Gen 2's are gonna hit the same problem. *Autocomm *GPS *Charging something in the glove box socket...

    SD/LA area folks, where are you?

    I'm all over that. PM sent with contact info. I still like Barbarus/TWN's idea about Big Bear next weekend as well. (maniacal, possessed face on) MUST GROPU RIDE....MUST GROUP RIDE.... Seriously, for me, it's my comfort zone because I can learn about areas that others know and still have...

    Anyone use this helmet?

    Same article ran here in the San Diego paper. I laughed for the same reason, but mostly for the "oh, wait, don't leave us in the dust and pull your development project worth millions. Here, we'll put a bandaid on our deeper problem, see? Now this narrow strip/corridor is officially an...

    Techmount - ZUMO Mounting ?

    In addition to the mount itself, you also can buy a plate that has Garmin motorcycle mount compliant holes drilled in it. I ordered both at the same time, although my mount is the clutch-side "mirror mount hole", not the center, so mine sits above the clutch reservoir. Plate option 1 (mine...

    Garmin 2008 update DVD in hand

    You use a different, older-generation model. Perhaps that is your saving grace, but with both the aviation and now this consumer product, Garmin charges for all map upgrades. I now have other users confirming that (points above) and, frankly, don't care any more, dude. You think you have data...

    LONG-TERM REPORT: ESG130 Stator

    Yeah, they lied to me when I ordered mine last year, claiming they had a newer ESG130 that was for the 06, but then when I got it and called back because it seemed to be the same as my friend's for his 05, they claimed they never said that and would not take it back. Still sitting in its box...

    Garmin 2820 / other BT GPS Question

    2820 here. On my setup, the mic port is only "listened" to when the phone is in use. The unit controls that port (and "detects" if you have a mic plugged in when phone is used.) I am reminded of that fact when I move the unit to my car and forget to turn off BT. It will still link up my...

    Garmin 2008 update DVD in hand

    Lol, okay, so in the end, you didn't get the map update for free....lmfao. I have the same version, I just paid the $75 up front so the code CAME with the DVD (the big green sticker on the back of the DVD case with the 8 digit code). So...yeah, in the end, I was right, but I understand now why...

    Upcoming Job Opening...

    I develop database-resident workflow engine applications (like ITIL-related ITSM and CMDB stuff) using BMC Remedy, so I know first-hand how hard a good DBA is to find and how valuable they are once you get them. My 3 DBAs on our team have earned the proverbial "S" I put on their chests...

    Another motorcyclist dies

    Actually, I put the fault squarely on the cager for one reason... NEVER pull onto a road when traffic coming towards you is too large to see all of the road beyond it (even if it's double-yellow and nobody should be coming, which wasn't even the case here). The very reason they don't make...

    Prayers for MadMike2 to heal up quickly

    May heaven continue to smile on you the way it did by protecting you today, Mike. Broken bones will mend with time and we're rooting for you all the way.

    SD/LA area folks, where are you?

    GUNNY... I shouldn't really do the posting/organizing, as I'm somewhat still the newer kid here. If one of the vets gets involved, I'm all over it.

    Garmin 2008 update DVD in hand

    No, map data is $75 plus shipping. Considering that the data file being sold wasn't even published until 6/11/2007, your belief that you currently possess that data on your unit since last September is, well, incredible at best. The "version 8" you mention is the OPERATING SYSTEM on the unit...

    Riding the FJR in Heavy Rain

    Dearly beloved, we're gathered here to remember our dearly departed brother. Although he was crushed by an inattentive cager who failed to control their own vehicle enough to notice our brother in the adjacent lane, we were still impressed by the fact that our departed brother could skillfully...
