    Nuvi mounted on the windshield?

    in GPS, Audio, Electronics

    Posted

    I do not think it would harm the windshield.

    The GPS unit does not weigh that much to cause an abundance of strain on the windshield...

     

    However, I would be more concerned with sunlight (magnified heat) transmitting through the windshield to the glue that holds the GPS units backing plate to the windshield.

    I would think the glue would become weak ("gooey") and give way causing the unit to easily fall off onto the gas tank or the highway...

     

    If you drilled a couple small holes through the windshield and through the GPS mounting plate and bolted the backing plate to the windshield, then I would say you would be better off strength wise if you decide that is where you want to mount it.

    They are hiding from you Eck, they have heard all the stories about you not being able to catch a UPS truck..............:rotf::rotf:

     

    Lewis,

    I have since then "waxed" my bike and it runs a lot better now...Im sure I can not only keep up with the UPS truck but I could probubly beat it...(in a straight stretch)...:rasberry:

     

    All joking aside here Lewis, but I even made a map of Alabama, then went into every Alabama members profile to see what city they lived in and I placed a dot on the map on the town that member lived in. Now note I did not place their name, but only a dot to show that a VR member lived in that city / town. I tried to populate the map to show me WHERE the majority of VR members lived at in Alabama..This way I could pick a town / city to hold a meet & eat and get the biggest bang for my buck if you will...

    It didnt take me long to figure out I was wasting my time because so many Alabama folks didnt list the city or town they lived in..

     

    I would like to suggest that we make and add here on the site a USA map..and each of us go to it and populate our home state map showing where you as a VR member live..no need for any names, but just a "dot" or symbol to show where one lives.

    This could also be done as part of NEW sign ups to the site and those of us already signed up here can just go to it and update / populate it..

     

    NOW, when "anyone" wanting to plan a rally or M&E, he or she would be able to "click" on the USA map to see where the most VR members would be located and know "WHERE" there would be a stronger possibility of a larger turn out for their rally or M&E.

     

    Hey, just thinking out of my box again... Ill go back inside now..:whistling:

     

     

    Wishing you all

    Everytime I arrange a Meet & Eat, I too go through the same pain staking effort.

    It is a PIT-butt...trying to figure out where (or how close) someone lives to where the M&E will be held.

    I usually open two VR.Org pages at the same time...

    one to search the members list and the other I use to send a member an inviation through email..

    Once I find someone who is close to where the M&E will be held, I transfer over to the other VR page, and send that person an invite in a p-email..then I go back to the first page and search to find another member who lives close to where the M&E will be held...

    This is so time consuming and those who dont know what goes on behind the screen will never understand how much of a PIT-butt it is..

    I have asked several times for members to please add thier home city to thier profile.

    Just think...if you added your city, you just might be invited to attend a M&E some day where you could meet up with some other VR members...

    dang, now who woulda thought..:whistling:

    (just wonder though if I can throw out my own name for that VR award..:rasberry: :cool10:)

    Driver Licence Renewal

    Posted

    Some of these vehicles with three wheels are completely enclosed. So does that mean that you still have to wear a Helmut? By DMV's definition they are a motorcycle.:confused24:

     

    I would think with the roof being entirely glass on some of those enclosed 3 wheelers and no roll bar around the drivers that it most likely would be a law that you have to wear one..

     

    good question there Skid...

     

    I surely wold not want to wear one if I was in an enclosed object like that..

    Sounds like my wife and I are like Squidley and Lonna, in that we do not buy each other birthday, anniversary or Christmas gifts..ever..

     

    We buy for the grand kids only... not even our kids get anything.. just the grand kids..

    Once the grand kids hit 18, that is it for them too...we just tell them to come on over and eat all you want... but dont think your getting anything else..

    Gene,

    I would have made every effort to come to this but we are having the whole family coming in for Christmas this year and the last couple (with our grandkids) wont be leaving our house until Monday morning the 29th.

    This is the first Christmas that the whole family will be together in about 7 years, so I surely dont want to go for a bike ride while they are here..

    Maybe next time.:thumbsup2:

    Throttle Cable Lubrication

    in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk

    I will have to take a second look at it but there didn't seem to be enough adjustment on the adjuster to give the necessary slack to get the cable off the grip slot.

     

     

    I have always had enough slack after loosening the adjusters..your 06 should be same as mine.. I used a very small screwdriver to push the cable end pin out of the slot and out they came.

    I even counted the turns when I loosened the adjusters and upon re-assembly, turned them in opposite direction the same amount of turns to get them back really close to where they were..then minor adjusted for proper slack ..:thumbsup2:
