    Wanted: Garmin StreetPilot 2730 (or equivalent)

    Thanks, Tom. Do you have the auto cigarette lighter adapter with built-in speaker? Or is that what you mean by no speaker?

    Wanted: Garmin StreetPilot 2730 (or equivalent)

    Has anyone replaced their Garmin GPS and has an older model they are willing to sell? It would be for use in a car, plugging into the cigarette lighter. I have (and am very happy with) the model noted in the topic title, which attaches to my bike, but also can go into the car via a dashboard...

    A good man. He made NAFO Colorado worth the ride. And he understood wry humor. We will not see the likes of him again.

    Totally my issue too. I have an '05 (my second, after blowing up my first '05 at 62,000 miles or such)--I have an '05 with 52,000 miles, and it just runs great! Throw into the equation all the add-ons and adjustments that would not transfer to a newer model, and I cannot justify getting a new...

    My first bike was a Harley Sportster bought in 2003. I had no experience of any other kinda bike. Then one day after 2 years and 47,000 miles on the sporty, my buddy let me ride his BMW K1200RS. "Feck me!--So THIS is what a bike is capable of!" So I'll reverse your question about what I...

    Lesson #17 for Fifty-Something, New FJR Owners with Bad Backs

    Okay, I'm gonna try the not lift the bike thing. As I think about it, I believe I do tug, and worry that some day something's gonna tear. So I'm gonna try to modify my routine. But I have to agree, there is a push down. I know because now I've got a bone bruise or something in my right foot...

    Holy sh*t! I watched that video and thought, "You gotta be kidding me!" Talk about violating Occam's Razor--multiplying ignition steps beyond necessity. I guess those were the "good ol' days." Why don't we all go back to hauling water up from riverbanks? But it's a good link if you happen...

    Thanks, IB! Now, is that the sequence for the one you owned or this new one? Because I was thinking of printing it out for her.... JB

    Went for a ride yesterday

    So let's see.... Where was I? Oh yes! Kara got on the back of my bike, and the three of us rode over to the Yamaha dealer. Kara picked up a battery charger, and we went back to her place. Jor-El and I said good-bye to Kara, who had a two-hour battery charge ahead of her (word this morning...

    That's a beauty! Fun riding, and keep the rubber side down!

    Hey, a fellah's got a lot of honey-do's on the weekend. Can't keep Fang waiting. Hope to be back later today, or tomorrow....

    Went for a ride yesterday

    A few weeks ago at a work-related off-site training I met a female work colleague (we'll call her "Lara") who told me she had just bought a motorcycle--a Yamaha SR 400. She had been looking at a larger bike, she told me, but the fellow she works with who is my friend, colleague, and riding...

    As a point of clarification for us "fairly locals," what is Clearwater?

    Oopsie! I think you may have wandered into the wrong room. "Jokes and Other Fun Stuff" can be found here. Guaranteed not to require any cerebral activity.
