Hey Steve, I've used mine too, but I was told by another guy that electronics can be damaged by using cheap inverters that don't produce a pure sine wave. I think as long as we just use it for charging and not running, we should be ok. (spoken by the *****(me) who is going to fry $1000's worth...

We all have electrical goodies that we want to take with us on our bikes and every year it seems there is more stuff I want to take.....cell phone, mp3, gps,net book etc. I want to use an inverter so I can charge my various electrical goodies as I'm driving. I know if I want to run my...

Hey Chris, I'm using the 2 ft. firestick no ground plane. Great reception, nice and clear. I have become addicted to tunes while riding now. Never thought I would enjoy music while riding and now I can't ride without.

Here's an alternative antenna mount. Has been on for 20,000 k. The antenna hardly moves in the wind. I thought at first I might be putting pressure on the plastic luggage rack, but it is stronger than you think.

Sounds like you need some cheering up.................. Some things in life are bad, They can really make you mad, Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle. And this'll help things turn out for the best. And....Always...

aw c'mon Mattster, surely these guys aren't **** are they?

Hey Steve, I'm really sorry to hear about this. Sure seems harsh the way they lay off people, very impersonal. The bummer of it is, when you are working you have the money but not the time for touring, now you have the time but not the money. I hope that something even better comes your way...

I keep the rain cover on mine when I'm not using it (like to and from work each day) more to protect it from the sun than from the rain. I have used mine (without the cover) in all day heavy rains and never had a problem. I have talked to many truckers on the road and they have told me it...

I've had my J & M for 3 years now and it has worked flawlessly. My antenna wire runs under the tank and I have had no problems. All the wiring fits easily down the handle bars and around the forks. Lots of zip tie locations. Yes it is a standard screw on fitting for the antenna. I've tried...

I have had the Dual Star and Heat Troller set up as well since new in 06. I had the same problem in the rain with them coming full on. I just cleaned off the circuit board and slathered it with silicone and its been fine ever since. Use the air compressor method to remove the grips, it works...

Holes 1 and 4&5 came in the first 1000k, so I had them mushroom plugged from the inside. They subsequently started leaking again and I had to use strings to stop the slow leak. Hole 2 I noticed about an hour before I was heading on a long trip (Radisson) where there are no tires or shops...

I've been watching the news and it looks like you guys are going to get hit with a full on hurricane. Please take precautions and hunker down, or even better, take a trip to Upper Canada and visit some friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. P.S. Scott, if you chain the FJR to a tree...

Nice Report Steve, I'm already looking forward to CFR next year. Hey I know the Mad Musher. Great food and balcony that overlooks the river.

Oh that explains the raging wildfire I saw in the eastern sky. It was the candles on Mike's birthday cake.

Thanx Mark, I have marked Paint Bank as a waypoint.(thanx for the pic Steve). I prefer the less travelled routes and 181 looks like my kinda road. I think I will take 219 to Skyline and Blueridge on the way down and 40-181-421 up to 42-615 and 220 on the way back. I found all kinds of fun...

Hello Everyone, My wife and I are heading to the Smoky Mountains very soon. I know about Skyline Drive, Blue ridge Parkway, Deals Gap and the Cherohala Skyway, but I am interested in any information about other roads not to miss. We would also be interested in any attractions not to miss...

I think it has something to do with what type of oil you use and which brand of tires you have on.

Bonjour mes amis! First I just want to say that I had an Awesome time. A tip of the hat to rallymaster Scott for organizing the inaugural "Radisson Romp" That ride back from Chissisabi was as close to motorcycling Nirvana as I have ever experienced(sun behind me, gentle wind at my back...
