    EOM 2016 - Wytheville Virginia on September 22-25, 2016 - Ramada Inn

    Jim aka ZOOMM AGAIN and I made it to Wytheville. We are here waiting for y'all. Left Albany NY on Monday morning. We waited till the weather cleared. It was still cloudy and the roads were wet for the first hour only. Then sunshine (sort of). Tues & today were spectacular!!! Wish you were...

    I can't copy and paste the previous post with the picture of Creta's new house, but I wanted to post that and add a comment to you, Spklbuk..... You ARE going to be adulting later ;-)

    EOM 2016 Wytheville; strut'n down from the northlands

    Enjoy the ride, Gina! We look forward to seeing you and everyone! Kick stands are almost ready to go up this morning for us. Just waiting for the rain to pass over and then we're off.

    "Adulting"? I have not heard that term before either. I thought it meant "to have sex". Enjoy!

    Beyond Frustration--Mirror Mount Bracket Snapped

    I agree with what RaYzerman is saying. If the ears could be made in such a way that they do not attach to the center part of the stay, but rather attach somewhere else, then replacing just the ears would be a much simpler task. That's my 2 cents ;-)

    Wheaton and wifey - North by Northwest

    Wow!!!! I just noticed this RR. I didn't know you guys had this planned. The pictures and the narrative was amazing! So happy for you two and a bit envious. Jim and I have always wanted to go to Banff and your report has shown us so much more. Thanks for taking the time to share this!

    Quick Shoei Neotec Borealis Review

    Fred, I have always had Arai helmets which had that 1/8 - 1/4 space you describe. I was a little annoyed at first about the Neotec when I first got it (with regards to this), but I put the pin lock in, and have never had a problem with fogging. This is the best, nicest helmet I have ever had...

    Funny, I actually did stand behind Jim and tell him what to type - lol. ;-)

    EOM 2016 Wytheville; strut'n down from the northlands

    FYI..... ZOOOMM and I will be heading down from the Albany, NY area. I was looking at your route KJ, but we are leaving a couple days earlier than you. We will leave on Monday 9/19 and take back roads the whole way (taking 3 days to get there).....zig-zagging to hit the fun roads about 350...

    Sena 20s, Garmin 590, iPhone, MP3 player, Valentine1 Radar Detector

    Oh. Gotcha. You know, I just realized that I didn't try all the connections at once (that was stupid). I guess my concern was being able to hear the V1 at all. You make an excellent point. I'm going to have to try everything all at once and probably try to get rid of the MP3 player. It would...

    Sena 20s, Garmin 590, iPhone, MP3 player, Valentine1 Radar Detector

    I have 4 things hooked up: iPhone 4s Garmin GPS 590 Valentine 1 Radar Detector's Audio Output And a Sony MP3 player Hence the title of the post. The last thing I hooked up was the Radar detector.

    Sena 20s, Garmin 590, iPhone, MP3 player, Valentine1 Radar Detector

    I just tried plugging the Bluetooth Universal Audio Transmitter into the Audio Accessory port from Valentine, and it works great. I can hear my V1 through my Sena. I agree that putting music on my SD card for my GPS would be what I would really want. For some reason, it's not working. I tried...

    Beyond Frustration--Mirror Mount Bracket Snapped

    BTW I also tried the epoxy and weld tape gauze. It's still holding up, but I can tell there is the slightest wiggle to the mirror. I had ordered the stay (as a replacement) but never installed it. That's when I had the idea of using it as a model for creating a different design. Never did it...

    Beyond Frustration--Mirror Mount Bracket Snapped

    No, Silly.....it was when Jim stopped short and I ran into the back of him (a couple of years ago) Boy did he get an earful for stopping short like that!! What was he thinking?! 😳

    Beyond Frustration--Mirror Mount Bracket Snapped

    I was thinking that I would take the stay to someone who has a 3D scanner/ printer to make a duplicate of the stay that can be re modeled. My thoughts were that the ears of the stay (the pieces that hold the mirrors) could be separated and supported somewhere else on the bike. The main center...

    Sena 20s, Garmin 590, iPhone, MP3 player, Valentine1 Radar Detector

    Good question. I was using my iPhone but then I didn't want to keep charging it. And I didn't want to have it plugged in the whole time. I could also have listened to music through the GPS, but there were some issues with that, so I gave up on that idea. The MP3 player was used on an all day...

    Sena 20s, Garmin 590, iPhone, MP3 player, Valentine1 Radar Detector

    Thanks for the replies. I bought a small device from Best Buy that converts anything to BT. This works for Sony mp3 player I have. I'm going to buy another one and try it for the V1 audio accessory box (which I already have). This device is not meant for smart phones (specifically says that...

    Sena 20s, Garmin 590, iPhone, MP3 player, Valentine1 Radar Detector

    I've got the Sena 20s, Garmin 590, iPhone, MP3 player all hooked up and all seems to be working. Now....how do I connect the Valentine 1 Radar Detector so that I can hear it? Does anyone have this same setup? I have searched the internet for 2 days :-/ I called V1 and they said that their BT...

    NY to TN, NC, FL and back

    Where in NY are you from? We live in Latham? Just curious if you're near us. Nvm. I reread and noted Po town. Not too far from us though.
