    Looking for Quest 2 Feedback

    Randy, I really like my Quest. I don't have the Quest II but from what I understand the only really difference is the Quest II has all the US detailed maps installed with memory left over for what ever you need. I mount mine on a stem stand and us the motorcycle mount that Garmin makes. It all...

    A Different Kind of LD Rally

    Randy, From what I understand The Grand Tour that the Team Strange boys put on is something like you are thinking. Doesn't matter were you are from, just have to do the rally by the closing date. Go here and click on the Grand Tour link. Sounds like fun to me. Planning on doing it next year. Dana

    FJR Dash - NICE!

    Devanator, You want to get this shelf it you are going with a shelf. This one is a lot more robust. The FJRGoodies one is ok for light stuff but bounces around a lot with just my V1 on it. It you are planning on putting a GPS on it you really have to go with this one. I am serious about...

    Dealer Snafu

    The problem with the bike being registered with Yamaha in another name before you is, Yamaha now considers you the second owner and your extended warrenty will not transfer to who ever you sell it to. You will be selling a bike that doesn't have the extended warrenty. So don't make any claims...

    Fall Color

    Mike, I thought about you before I left, but I was planning on a lot of miles, and from our phone conversation I figured you would just want a half day ride. Sorry you had to work. I ended up doing 550 miles on Saturday. To bad I will be in Texas the next week and a half. Will most likely miss...

    PDP Alive And Well

    Tom, Try Estherville Sports Center in Esterville Iowa. Talk to Jeff (owner) and see what he will do for you. I bought both of my FJR's from him, and he has always been striaght forward with me and honest. It is a couple of miles for you to go, but worth it in my mind. Let him know I told you...

    Dealer Snafu

    You guys that did not buy through the PDP, did you also put down the 500 dollars? If you did then the dealer got there 500 dollars, but did not get the money that they sent into Yamaha to hold the PDP unless they kept it in the original name until there kick back period was up. I know it is hard...

    Dealer Snafu

    Your dealer was hoping that you would not notice anything until the first of the year. This is because the dealer gets back the 500 dollars if the bike is registered with yamaha with the original person that ordered it. It has to stay in that name until the first of the year. Most all...

    Valentine And Rain

    Try this website Clicky and see if this will work. I mount my the same way, and when it rains I take it off and put in my sidebag. Don't speed in the rain. Dana

    Garmin Quest

    Have the Quest mounted just like gryphon68. It works great for me. I don't need the whole US in the unit for detailed maps. At the present time I have all of MN, WI, ND, SD, and most of Iowa in the Quest and still have enough memory to add a couple of more states. If I was an Ironbutt rider or...
