    Garmin Zumo 665 Questions

    Hope you figure it out but I'm glad mine shows the road I'm on since where I ride there are usually signs naming the cross streets but rarely anything with the road I'm actually on! Plus it helps when roads change names unexpectedly.

    Garmin Zumo 665 Questions

    I have a 660 and it shows the road I'm on when just driving around. When I'm navigating to a destination it shows the next turn and distance to it.

    Best Place To Retire Early

    After 30 years in the service, my former chief planned a second career as a "fitting room attendant" with Fredrick's of Hollywood. He even showed me his completed application form!

    What did you do to your FJR today?

    Spent the day romping through the Mark Twain NF. It was rough but how else can I find out if I like the Laam seat? ;)

    Heated seat question - especially Laam owners

    I got in 300 miles with temps in the 20s last weekend and another 350 yesterday with temps in the 60s. The heater works and I only needed to stop for gas and food. Not once did I need to restore feeling in my butt. Life is good and getting better.

    Bluetooth or In-Ear?

    I have 12v in my tank bag so I can charge my Sena 20S while riding but don't normally need to as they last quite awhile.

    Facebook/Instagram ban gun sales on sites

    I have no problem with Facebook deciding either way. That's for them to decide. If the Feds are leaning on a private business to curtail legal activity, that I have a problem with

    Everyone's always talking ATGATT

    When I was younger I wore a helmet, jeans and t-shirt. I got lucky just losing a bit of skin when a paved road turned into gravel mid- turn rolling thru Nebraska one night. The gouges in my helmet showed the wisdom of wearing it. My bleeding arms and chest showed I wasn't all that smart. My...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    It's an unseasonable 52 today and supposed to hit the 60s tomorrow where I'm going in the Missouri Ozarks. Plan to spend the day romping through the Mark Twain National Forest. Gotta finish breaking in my new Laam seat!

    You think YOU know!? Stand back. I need room to whip this out!

    Bluetooth or In-Ear?

    Yet another yet another advantage is not having to remove my helmet during ID check at the guard post like my full face helmet brethren.

    Bluetooth or In-Ear?

    I use the Sena speakers for daily commuting and plug in my ear buds for travelling when I would normally use some sort of earplug anyway. As for the cord connecting the earbuds to the Sena, I just tuck it down in my jacket out of the way. Nothing to catch, pull or break.

    Cautionary Tales about Seth Laam!

    When I got mine back, vinyl also, I was sliding around like it was made of ice. I called and Kaarin told me they clean them with Pledge right before shipping and I should wipe it down with warm soapy water. I did and now I can actually stay on the seat when stopping!

    Heated seat question - especially Laam owners

    He offers such a setup but I didn't choose it. I don't mind flipping it on/off as needed since the switch is so convenient. I don't have a heatroller for the vest either.

    Tents, pads and bags

    My opinion is not to scrimp on what you need to stay warm and dry or to sleep well. If you need to save money do it on all the other gear.

    Heated seat question - especially Laam owners

    Got my seat back and it's looking good The heater switch went into the seat and looks like it belongs there to me The temp was 38 when I got it wired up so I made a quick trip to check it out. It seemed to take a bit to warm up but maybe I was impatient. Anyway, it definitely got plenty...

    Tents, pads and bags

    Is it an excess of disposable income or an appreciation of quality merchandise or a preference for supporting a quality store or simply a different prioritization of resources than some others? For me it's all but the first.

    Frozen pick-up

    I also consider the T mode to be " wet road" mode.

    Red vs Graphite

    That is the perfect pictorial description of how my butt felt after 1200 miles on the stock seat!
