    Britains Got Talent

    Fabulous voice. I have had nine emails with that video link in it today, all raving about her voice. (Might be something to do with the fact that she is Scottish too!). Particularly enjoyed this comment: "Notice how alot of elderly people are great singers ?????? " and she is only 47...

    1300AE Reliability?

    The electrical issues have mainly been down to the ignition switch problem which affected both A and AE models and was replaced under a recall notice at Mama's expense, as was the ECU. Apart from the clutch, there is no difference between them, and so long as regular maintenance is carried out...

    Through the looking glass...

    I look over the top of my V-Stream for the most part, unless it's howlin' down. I'll be up at Ephrata this Sunday AM, if you wanna swing by and check it out. Pete.

    Tom Tom Rider 2nd Edition

    I used the Migsel ram base which I got from Cycle Gadgets which mounts using the two top tank bolts, and parts of the kit that come with the TomTom. What I like is that it places your GPS unit centrally just in front of the instrument cluster for easy viewing, and it does not interfere with...

    Givi V46 Handling with a V-Stream windshield

    I had similar concerns, which did seem to be a little worse after installing the V-Stream. I needed to use the V46 to carry my laptop for work (when I still had a job that is), sidebags carried waterproofs, and my work clothing. and I needed extra storage for gloves, plexus, frst-aid kit etc...

    Looking at a 98 GSX-R 750

    Dan, My suggestion would be to stick with the FJR. Once you have more experience riding it, you will be able to keep up when riding with us. :yahoo: Sorry mate, couldn't resist...

    Autocom

    I just checked out their websites. Seems that the UK site has all the shiny new 2009 Autocom range on offer, and special pricing on some of the older gear. The US distributor meanwhile, is still advertising the 2007 and earlier stuff, and has a lot of accessories listed as being out of stock...

    Autocom

    Deffo not the way they normally do things. I have had very quick responses to both phone and email requests in the past. Something must be going on...

    Givi V46 reflector area and LEDs

    Dave, I had the same thoughts as yourself a little while back, and did just that exact modification. Full details can be found here. I have yet to get around to taking some night-time pics, but it works like a charm, and was very inexpensive. Edit: Seems the above link has a problem, here is...

    ATV/Motorcycle BAN

    Just noticed the following comment on Yamaha's website: "IMPORTANT All accessories and apparel intended for children 12 and younger are temporarily not for sale. " Seems it's not just parts and accessories, but anything that is remotely connected to motorcycling.

    Adding bluetooth dongle to Autocom SuperPro Avi

    Hey Sullivan, Rick has some further updates, which have basically got him almost where he needs to be with this setup, and I am quite sure he will be along shortly to provide the full info. Bottom line is to make sure any GPS you are thinking of using, has the necessary features available, and...

    Upgrading FJRAE to new 2009 YCC-S Mapping?

    Like others, I have no issues with the AE, but when I picked up my 07 this afternoon after the igniton recall, I asked the service manager about the new mapping. His response was that he was not aware of any method of updating the YCC-S firmware, and suspects that either the ECU, the YCC-S...

    Adding bluetooth dongle to Autocom SuperPro Avi

    Perhaps my dongle is too big for your box? Have you tried resetting the Nuvi, and re-pairing? And also make sure the dongle is actually in discovery mode. I think you have to press and hold that little button until the LED goes out, then press it again until the LED blinks rapidly. It took me...

    Adding bluetooth dongle to Autocom SuperPro Avi

    Rick, Looky here for the internal adjustments, (go to page 11) and the position of the link you need to install to power up Aux 1. The yellow jumpers are for other adjustments. (Lesson #1, never assume anything!!! :rolleyes: ). I would give you a call, but I seem to have misplaced my...

    Change Time Ride - March 8th

    10-day forecast is calling for a high of 55 and a 60% chance of showers. To me that means a 40% chance it will not rain. I'll take those odds :clapping: Pack a rainsuit and come join us.

    The End of an Era

    I've bought a couple of things from them, and their service was impeccable. Sorry to see them go, but sadly I fear they are not the last.
