    Seneca Rocks and VA

    Sorry to hear about the camera and the rain. It will get better, some day we will really have nice weather. Looks like y'all had some good riding any way.

    A Rider's Plea For Attention

    Very well done. I hope it wakes some of these asleep at the wheel drivers. Maybe they will read it as they are driving to work. ;)

    06 ECU removal

    Kaitsdad, Thanks for posting the photos. I'll pull it out and see if I can get them to swap it for the new one. El Toro, It really is the service manager. The dealership is a BMW/Yamaha/Honda/Suzuki dealer and their mechanics are very good. The parts dept guys are great too, I always get at...

    06 ECU removal

    My dealer has a new service manager and he is a real :asshat2: . I have been trying to get him to do the upgrade of my ECU since last Oct. and he always has a reason to not be able to do it. So now he wants me to drop off the bike on a Sat. and pick it up the following Monday. I see this as...

    It It Worth It To "Fight" a Ticket?

    The way it works here in Ohio is, you go to court on the day listed on your ticket and plead "not guilty". They then set a new date for you to return and hear your case. This gives the officer a warning and time to get his paperwork in order and to make sure he is there for your return date. I...

    Garmin map update 2009

    Your GPS will not hold the old maps and the new maps at the same time. You have to delete the old ones and then install the new ones, a call to Garmin support may help you to get that done. Or there may be instructions with your updated map DVD.

    Auxiliary/Alternative Heat?

    I'll throw my 2 cents in here. I have a large (2500 sg.ft) older (30 yrs) home that has electric heat. It has an electric furnace. I can not get natural gas where I am. I've been in the HVAC trade for 30 plus years and I do not like oil heat, and propane is getting costly now too. I have a...

    Any tips/tricks to get neoprene onto plastic drinking tube?

    It took me days to get that neoprene on that tube. HOT and soapy (almost boiling water), soak the neoprene, I put the tubing in the freezer, and it was a fight. I finally have all the tube covered with the neoprene, but they were the same length to start with, now the neoprene is about a foot...

    SPOT (Satellite Personal Tracker)

    The group buy IS the way to go and I got my Spot yesterday. I can not get the on-line map page to work with my IMac, but everything else works great, I even pressed the 911 button by mistake and got a call asking me if I was okay or not. Glad they made that call, as I really did not need an EMS...

    where do I get a spark plug socket that fits the FJR?

    I called several Auto parts stores and 2 Sears stores and they all told me that they do not have a thin walled 5/8 spark plug socket. I did use the tool that comes with the bike and it works well, but I have several spark plug sockets and not one of them would fit into the FJR to get the plug...

    where do I get a spark plug socket that fits the FJR?

    Its time to change my plugs. I have a roll around tool box full of tools and I can not find a socket that will fit to remove the spark plugs. I know there is a tool that comes with the bike, but someone must make a thin walled spark plug socket that fits. Any ideas where I can buy one? :blink:

    SPOT (Satellite Personal Tracker)

    Am I missing something here, or is the group buy the same price as the Father's day sale price? Looks like a good unit and I may have to add one to my list of toys. Just checked Amazon.com, it is $134.99 there. That may be the best price yet.

    zumo multiple bike-mounting options?

    I went with adding a second cradle and power wire, so I just move the Zumo from bike to bike and each bike is already wires for power and audio. You could just add a connector to the power cable for the Zumo and move the cradle and all, but that was looking like a possible weak link in the...

    SE Ohio "Ramble II"

    Yep, the AmeriHost is on the same street as the Super 8. Its west of the freeway. Bob Evans is right across the parking lot. There were a few pizza shops and other places within walking distance. Price for the room was the same as the Super 8. Google the Athens AmerHost and you will find it...

    Route Scouting

    Wow, looks great! From the looks of those roads, I see no need to ever move EOM from that area :) Looking forward to a wonderful weekend at EOM, and may have to go for a weekend before EOM to get in all the good roads.

    Comparing GPS's

    I know the Zumo 550 will do what all that you are looking to do. I'm not sure of your other choices.
