    Haven't been on the bike much lately...

    All the pieces that I've ever made as gifts (like this) come with a description on the back of who they were made for, when, what the occasion was, then a list of the type of woods used for each of the pieces. It gives me a nice feeling to think that 50 years from now, someone might pull it off...

    Thanks for the compliments folks... I'm pretty sure they'll like it. :D This isn't the first piece I've made them, but it's probably the one I've taken the most time with... Only get one shot at a 50th wedding anniversary... doubt they'll make it to 100... Bustanut - Was there cussing...

    Haven't been on the bike much lately...

    Been trying to finish up a present I'm making for my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary next month... got the stained glass done today and test fit the pieces... looking good so far. Size is about 1.5 ft. wide by 2.5 feet tall. All natural wood colors... no stains. The curly maple has...

    hill country lodging recs?

    I've stayed at the YO Ranch a bunch of times, all good experiences. Have heard good things about the Koyote Ranch, but have no personal experience.

    Why so many '05 FJRs on the market?

    The 05's are the best looking and fastest of all the model years, and those selling them obviously can't handle the power or all the ladies that throw themselves at the owners... it's tough, but some of us can hack it. As for the others, they're now riding Vespas...

    This is probably what you were thinking of... Tasty Nuts

    Datel Vlolt meter

    Mine is pretty much in the same spot as Pinheads, only I angled it so that I would be looking at it straight on from my seated position. I also got the blue one to blend in with the 05 paint job. Mine reads 14.0+ whenever I'm running at speed. At idle it drops a bit... also can watch it...

    Simple change, big difference...

    I've had my same bike setup for a few years now... 2610 GPS mounted inbetween the handlebars, V1 on the right handlebar, XM radio on the left (my second one, after the first crapped out). For my recent birthday, I asked for a Zumo initially, but $$$ is a bit tight now so I didn't get one...

    Official 2009 EOM Announcement!!

    This is on my calendar for the year... I figured after 3 years going west, it's about time I go in the other direction. Plus, Johnson City is only 120 or so miles from Blacksburg, so I'll probably leave 2-3 days early and spend some time reliving my college life at Va Tech. Been a while since...

    Zumo XM antenna install question

    I've got the same antenna, but a 2820 GPS... and it's mounted under the back seat held in place by the elastic strap that is towards the back. Seems to work fine so far.

    Skyway's Aux. Fuel Cell Kit

    IC3 complaint submitted... don't know how their process works, but it may help to have as many of us (~20?) who got involved in this to send in similar complaints. Would probably add validity to the claims.

    Skyway's Aux. Fuel Cell Kit

    I posted on here a long time ago that I had filed with the BBB. They closed the investigation a short time ago with a "No response from the vendor" summation. I'm like many involved in this, in that I've struggled for the last 2 years (2 years next month to be exact) to come to grips with the...

    Scorpion EXO-1000

    I got my last Scorpion through Gary McCoy... he had the cheapest prices around.
