    STS Smart Turn System - installation

    Does anyone have a part number for this connector? I may try to make a plug 'n play harness before Tech Day. I don't have the bike available at the moment to take it apart.

    FJR Tech Day XIII

    I can step up for bringing bad weather. I'm pretty good at it. The wife acknowledge Tech Day so I'm in. The STS install that John D did looked a little involved, longer than I thought it would. But it sounds like has good results, so I don't see a reason to do it much differently. If you...

    2007, Pulled the trigger

    I'm 3 for 3 on getting people to move to the FJR after riding mine. You took a little longer than the others, but eventually came around. I know its a hike, but if you can manage to make it, Tech Day would be a good chance to get some farkles on. Nick and I will be there along with plenty of...

    STS Smart Turn System - installation

    "It's a liability thing" is usually a BS answer for a question. It basically means I don't know the answer but I still want to sound like I know what I'm talking about. I don't buy it. Honda still has self canceling turn signals on the Goldwing, but the people who are looking at Goldwings are...

    Skully Helmets Shutting Down?

    According to this, https://www.autoblog.com/2016/08/10/skully-lawsuit-marcus-mitch-willerbrother/ there are two helmet companies offering assistance to Skully backers that are not getting a refund. Not augmented reality helmets, but its pretty cool that some other companies are stepping up to...

    New Self-Cancelling Turn Signals Product!?

    My box was crushed as well. I probably won't get to mine until Tech Day. Good luck to you. I hope it works out.

    FJR Tech Day XIII

    Just make sure you bring them with this time! That was greatly appreciated last time. Electrical work for me this time around so hopefully I have everything I need should something come up. STS module arrived yesterday, but I won't have time to install it before Tech Day. Think I'll wait...

    FJR Tech Day XIII

    I'll give this a maybe. LeAnne doesn't work that weekend. Ideally, I'll have my STS module to put in. I'd be a Saturday late morning arrival, likely grabbing a hotel room. I can assist with electrical stuff if I can make it. Can I ride the lawnmower?

    New Self-Cancelling Turn Signals Product!?

    Slippage is pretty much a guarantee with pre-order. In fact, this may be the closest to the promised date project I'll have received. I haven't developed arthritis in my thumb yet, so I haven't been completely lost without it. Glad they returned your money though. Sometimes people aren't so...

    New Self-Cancelling Turn Signals Product!?

    Looks like my package is on its way. Got this email from them. Not sure how long it takes from Slovenia. I'm guessing a couple weeks.

    Skully Helmets Shutting Down?

    I read a review that said the Skully helmet was actually quite well made and the display was not as obtrusive as the reviewer assumed it would be. The problem with Skully going under is that it sets the technology back so far. This stuff had a lot of potential. I think the real winner would...

    Best route creation software - by far

    Actually I am going to do just that. While I found a method that works for me, perhaps Basecamp offers something I haven't thought of yet. To be perfectly honest, I thought it was a program you got with your Garmin and was unavailable to others. If I can manage to get some free time, I'm...

    Best route creation software - by far

    By the way Ed, nice job creating the video and the documentation. Very few people take the time to do it, while many take advantage of it. I've figured out my own method which works for me, but I see where this could help plenty of people. The title may be a little strong, but it has prompted...

    Best route creation software - by far

    I use My Maps from Google. A little different that Google Maps, it allows you to have different layers and so different routes. I usually separate routes into a route layer and then a POI layer. The only complaint I have is that you can't change route colors. Here's a trip I did for a ride...

    Shoot.... let's ride!

    I'm guessing I would have better luck hitting the paper by throwing the gun at it rather than shooting it. But if it was Duck Hunt, that's a different story! I just don't have any old CRTs to play anymore. Still have my NES and the classic games for it though and it gets fired up on occasion.

    Phantom 3 drone POI shots of the FJR

    You can get the Phantom 3 Standard for about $350-$400 if you pay attention. That's the one OP has. If you want the GLONASS satellites, and visual position system, probably about $600, and $800 if you want the 4k camera. The Phantom 4 gives you a higher top end speed (45 MPH) and crash...

    Phantom 3 drone POI shots of the FJR

    Thanks. I've found that less than 2.5 minutes is about right. After that, attention goes bye bye. Same is true with cuts. !10 seconds usually before you change angles or scenes I think. The first video, I didn't cut at all. But I didn't have much else in the way of interesting footage and...

    Phantom 3 drone POI shots of the FJR

    Can be done, only the top speed is about 35 MPH. I've not done anything with the FJR yet. I want to play with it, but need someone else with me to get some riding shots. If you haven't checked out the Litchi app yet, you should. Well worth the $20 price tag. It allows you to plan missions...
