  1. What would they wear if they owned a Yamaha. The only clothes they have say Harley.

     

    I don't see Yamaha EVERYTHING, leather, belts, doo-rags, leather, boots, pants, shirts (well maybe some Yamaha shirts) undewrwear, leather underwear, oh my God!

     

    That is the one thing I really don't get - I like being able to wear whatever I want. I actually busted out laughing the other day, I couldn't help myself. A guy was in the intersection in front of me and I usually don't care what anyone does, each to their own, but all of a sudden the harley jacket, harley helmet, harley glasses, harley boots, etc... seemed really funny.

     

    (my boots are harley, just don't tell anyone, k?) ;-)

     

     

    none were on channel 29.

     

    Is that the common channel? I wondered about that a while ago but never found anything, it's been decided then? I will keep mine on then!

  2. I added a y adapter to my AUX input as suggested here so that my garmin could be plugged in. I thought I would still be able to listen to my iPod through the AUX input by the cassette deck.

     

    Unfortunately, now when I plug my iPod in (even when the gps is off). The audio is extremely weak. I discovered by accident that if I touch the back off the iPod to the fuel filler cap that the audio is normal!!

     

    I need to take it all apart again. Perhaps my plug became disconnected while I taped it. It's weird though because I certainly tested it??? The grounding thing is really strange too...

     

    The gps audio is fine...

  3. Just wanted to pass on how much I enjoyed this movie. It has some Canadiana that might not translate but it's about a fellow diagnosed with cancer who takes off on a trip across Canada on a little Norton.

     

    I think it's just how much he learns about himself through the experiences and people he meets while travelling alone on two wheels that grabbed me.

     

    Check it out if you get a chance.

  4. For me, the advantages are it's much quicker, the navigation is easier too. I can view the boards on my browser but this app just show mr the posts and pics. It also work with the PMs and seems quicker than on the web.

  5. I think there's a "cool app" thread on every forum I belong to!!

     

    The tapatalk app looks very cool, downloading now. There is a free one but that only allows reading, no posting...

     

    Thanks for the tip on the bikebandit app - I will check it out.

     

    My most used app is Evernote, which is free, it's a great repository for all notes and pdfs and photos and such. It syncs with my computer and is available on the web. It also has character recognition so if you take a photo of a post-it-note with Evernote it will scan it and recognize words so that it is searchable...

  6. What a great ride, crisp fall air, the harvest smells in the air, beautiful sunset and a nice (too short) chat with Rocket who brought my t-shirt back from Cody after I had to drop out. Thanks Rocket for doing that.

     

    Nothing like a 500 km ride in the fall evening to remind me how much I love this bike!!

  7. I've been thinking the same thing lately... I have ham radio on my bike, plus the gps, and the stereo... I like having them on a long trip but they are definitely distracting!

     

    I rode a WR250 the other day and had a blast. I wouldn't want to take it across country but it was a hoot to ride!

  8. Did a ride to raise money for a local air ambulance organizaiton yesterday and I was surprised, as I often am, that I was the only Venture out of 100 bikes!

     

    Anyways, when they were drawing door prizes they hadn't picked any of my numbers but then the emcee stands up and says "we're not even going to draw this one, it goes to whoever rides a Yamaha Venture!".

     

    Sweet, got some free saddlebag liners!

  9. I use the Nolan n42 BT system paired to my ham radio and with a cable that Nolan supplied (I think they said it was a gold wing cable (5pin)) I can use the intercom and the CB.

     

    Works well, the batteries last about 12 hours but then you have to remember to charge the helmet or you're screwed the next day!

     

    Audio quality is great for voice, I don't like the music through the headset speakers. when I have paired the helmet to my blackberry I get very good reports of the call quality.
