  1. My pleasure.
  2. I'm trying to post a Restaurant review for Pennsylvania and am being told I'm not allowed. I am logged in so I'm not sure if it's me or the system. Any ideas? And I have one for Bradford PA that needs to be placed in here. And if you're ever riding near Bradford you HAVE to detour to the place.
  3. Thanks for the responses. I believe I will be getting some Ride On before leaving on my long trip.
  4. Nothing popped up here when I started but I know there are some topics related to this subject. Ride-On. Or whatever it is called. Is it really worth it and for those who use it would you use it again?
  5. Thanks guys. I've seen some pretty big bags out here and wondered how one sees their speedo, gps or whatever. Or worse, hit the end of the handlebars when turning.
  6. Question for anyone using a tank bag. I'd like to use a tank bag on my upcoming long trip with my 04 RSV. I'm curious if the magnets will be an issue with the plug and holder mount on the side of the tank. Seems this would keep a magnet from making good contact.
  7. I got the Utopia before realizing that Diamond R was a member. I really like the Utopia and could not ride without it now. The only problem I had and you will likely have as well if you are tall, is that my knees hit the bars when I made the first turn and almost crashed. Risers fixed that problem and I'm good to go.
  8. I tried to order the tuffrhino but it only comes in Regular. Little person size. Arrrgghh.
  9. Holy cow. That's expensive.
  10. Anyone have a recommendation for a cooling vest? I'd like to find one for my 30-day ride this August. I read somewhere a great review of a vest that can last up to two days but not certain where. Any thoughts?
  11. I can't imagine how 2 must sound.
  12. My new Steibel horn that is. Just had it installed and I can't believe how loud it is. Should get someones attention now.
  13. Not sure if anyone else is getting these or not but I've received 2 e-mails from appears to be Paypal. Something about someone was using my account fraudently. Both e-mails were very professional in appearance with none of the typical misspellings when it comes to phishing e-mails. I didn't hit the links but e-mailed paypal directly from their website. They responded back very quick saying that the e-mails were indeed fake and they were aware of them and are working on them. Just a warning here.
  14. I'm looking for some type of bag to place on the back seat when I go for my long ride in August. The wife is not coming so to carry extra gear I'd like to somehow strap down some type of bag. It doesn't have to be a $200 bag made just for motrocycles cause I won't spend that much. I would like it to be waterproof. Anyone have a suggestion on something that fits well on the seat?
  15. Rick, I have an older model Garmin 2730 and you can't raise the volume on it. Trust me I've tried. Unless I'm missing something but I've tried several times.
  16. I had the sets in my previous helmet and I still had the problem of not being able to hear the XM when at hi way speed. Just trying to determine if the noise cancelling ones work well.
  17. I'm heading out on a long trip soon and I'm trying to figure out a way to both protect my hearing from the wind noise and better hear my radio/XM under my helmet. I do not have speakers built into the helmet and listen VIA the built in stock speakers. the sound from the FM is fine but with the XM i can barely hear it at hi way speed. The sound just isn't loud enough. Does anyone have any experience with the the ear pieces that you can plug into the cassette audio output? Although I plug the XM into this so I'm not sure how this will work. I'm looking for something that others have used and feel work well. Thanks
  18. Hmmm. Will have to look into it. Is it sold at auto parts stores?
  19. Thanks for the opinions. But I have to ask. What is Ride on?
  20. I put the Utopia on my bike and on my first test ride almost wrecked the bike turning into a 7-11. The end of the handlebar hit my knee. I'm 6'5 so the Utopia was pushing me forward just enough to allow this to happen. I got home and promptly took the Utopia off. Once I bought and installed some risers this fixed the problem allowing me to reinstall the Utopia. Now I can't ride without the backrest.
  21. Would be nice to see that added. I recall seeing a meet and eat in Leesburg recently and was excited to see that. It turned out to be Leesburg, Fla and not Leesburg, Va which is near me. There are so many Jacksonvilles, Springfields, ETC.
  22. Worked for me on WMP. Thank God I don't use acid. I can only imagine watching that while stoned.
  23. Has anyone here ever tried the TireGard-Wireless Tire Monitoring system? Not very cheap and don't want to waste my money. I haven't dones much research so there is probably someone who sells them cheaper. Just curious if they work or not. http://www.bigbikeparts.com/ $209 at this site.
  24. I would have loved to purchased a Nolan but they only go up to a XXL. My normal size in everything is XXL except for helmets. Need a XXXL for my bucket head.
