This guy is a typical gym-rat narcissistic attention-whore with a brain-cell deficiency.

Thanks, all. Means a lot to see your kind posts.

As you may have read in an earlier post, my 06 was stolen in San Diego on October 15. :angry: :ranting2: Sucks, but such is life. I have decided not to get another bike at all. :shok: The reason is that I have accepted a new position within my company on a different account. The new...

I'll edit this post this evening with Serial Number, but my 06 was stolen over the weekend from my (gated) apartment complex parking garage. Make sure you have your theft coverage. As times get tougher, thefts go way up. Since I'm looking at a transfer to Singapore in the near future, I don't...

Add whatever photos you want out of this group of them, from the July 1, 2007 group ride out of Ojai. As you'd expect, Tim is in several of them. They are all in their original (large) format. Don't bother if you're on dialup. https://gellenbeck.com/rlg/Daddy%20Californ...jai%2007012007/

Tim was a fixture on the SoCal rides. I'm numb at the news, I can still see him as if it were yesterday. Another giant has left us this year. Be at peace, old friend. Ray

I fly out the next morning, so if you promise to bring me home in one piece, I'm in. Driving up from Mission Valley that morning. New rubber, new brakes, new fluids, missing GPS (frickin' thieves), the steed is ready once again to party. MIGHT have a passenger.

It's almost unnerving how many posters on this board are current or former members of the LEO community (whistling, eyes upward). Yes, my fair city (San Diego) is entering the height of tourism season, and the 8 (which my apartment door faces along the Hotel Circle section) is quite busy lately...

If I get new front rubber, brakes and oil on board in time, I'll dust her off and join ya, riding up from Mission Valley by the Riverwalk golf course, coming up 163 to make the rally point. No bags, no GPS (stolen), no intercom mic (rotted), just iPhone and its iPod music blaring in my ears, a...

Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that Minneapolis is spelled wrong? Having lived there from 4/06 through 9/06, I am glad I escaped with the FJR before the cold weather came. Despite multiple recruiter attempts to get me to come back, now that I've found San Diego, they'll never take me...

(stepping out of his cave)... I have returned. I would like to add my name to the camping list. I'll either dig up some of my old military gear or just re-fit via craig's list. Please advise what, if anything, you need from me in advance. Glad to be back in the land of the living.

FJRchick, I got an iPhone last July. While it's great, it sucks balls while on the bike for two reasons... 1. I wear gloves usually, and the screen usually will not respond to the touch of a gloved hand, it requires the electrical resistance of your skin to operate the screen. I have one...

Thanks to all for the posts. The decision now is between a used 2820 someone has offered and a new Zumo 550. One plus I see to the zumo is easier undocking, making it less excuse for lazy asses like Rayban to leave it in their car or on their bike...doh. Funny, of all the times I left it on...

If so, I mis-read the garmin site, as I thought it ONLY came with motorcycle mounting. Does the car material include a cig-lighter plug and speaker, or does one have to do some wiring into the accessory circuit of the car?

As most of you older-timers know, I was a happy fan of the Garmin StreetPilot 2820. I had the optional XM atenna and got both XM radio and XM traffic for it and enjoyed it on long trips. I envied some of the features of the Zumo when it came out, but couldn't rationalize the loss I'd take...

This is simple. Take some private pilot ground school lessons (better yet, get your license, it's easy, I soloed at 11 hours and got my ticket at the minimum). Lift requires airflow, period, end of story. Lift is generated by a differential in pressures above and below the wing. That...

Tough choices... 1. Keep the '03 BMW Z4 and pay over $11k to buy out the ex's loan note, or... 2. Try to find a more practical car or truck... Hmmmmm.... Down here in SoCal, where trucks go for a premium and people think Hondas and Toyotas have gold hidden in their engines, it actually is...

There's one in every crowd... And actually, those who live down here know what I'm talking about. There are zones/areas of town that have very very poor roadway maintenance. National City, also known as the Guadalajara of San Diego, is one of the worst. Thanks for your thoughts, though.

Okay folks, this crap is getting old. For the second time in less than 6 months, I have gotten butt-slammed in that I've had a back tire ruined by hidden road debris. Am I cruising shady back alleys? Nope. The first nail that toasted my Diablo Strada after only 3.5k miles was during my daily...

I'll likely come up Sat. EDIT: Nevermind, just got notice my pass got revoked, got roped into "meet the parents" duty that day... (hands over balls in a jar)...if she wasn't an enthusiastic and supportive pillon...(grumble grumble)...
