[Pioneer Inno....Anyone use one?]

I've had one since July and have it mounted on the bike. It works great, choose between XM or what you've put on the MP3. Will even record songs to the MP3 from XM. Downside is it is very difficult to operate while on the bike with all the combinations of button to push just to change the channel. Does come with a remote, so if you got the navigator along she can also be in charge of what you listen to.......I think its a conspiracy.........her or music or the game and she's in charge of the remote?

Couple of questions. How did you mount it? Does the battery last very long? I think the battery issue might be the only thing that is causing me to pause in buying one.

[Pioneer Inno....Anyone use one?]

I have an XM radio in my truck and love it. Of course I'm very interested in having XM on my Venture as well.

 

Now I'm debating on what way to go. One thought is to buy a Pioneer Inno and connecting it through my speakers on the bike. I'm thinking that this would work nicely because it's compact and I can use it in my wifes car as well.

 

 

Has anyone else done this? Pros/Cons?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Bob

[I'm QUITTING!]

Great job quitting cigs......Lighting one up in support....

[San Diego Burning]

Good luck down there in California. Dang, every time I read about these fires, more people are having to evacuate. Over a million so far!

[off to BIG BEND]

Have a fun and safe trip!

 

[How far in one day?]

I don't rate compared to you guys but I did go across the country and back on a 1978 Suzuki 1000. As I recall, I averaged around 700 miles a day. This was in the early 80's when I was in my 20's.

[Customized Guardian Bells]

I'm interested!

[Midnight Venture vs Royal Star Venture]

The midnights have a different seat on the older models and more chrome.

 

I think that's true of the 2006 models since I saw a used one in the shop. In 2007, the seats are the same.

[Midnight Venture vs Royal Star Venture]

Is there a difference between the Midnight Venture and the regular Venture, other than color?

I am looking at a new 2006 Midnight Venture.

 

I was just looking at the 2007 Midnight Venture and the regular (blue) models. The only difference that I could see is the front fork of the Midnight Venture is chromed and the blue one isn't. Well, the Midnight was about 300 bucks more as well.

Great pictures Skid! Thanks for sharing.

[Guardian Bells]

Cool! I just ordered one for one of my best friends at work.

 

Thanks for the offer Kurt. I'm sure I'll get one soon from one of my riding buddies or my brother in law who rides a Harley.

[Guardian Bells]

So all my buds with Harleys have Guardian Bells. Is that for Harleys only? I want all the voodoo help I can get.

[TIRES]

How about Metzler's? They were pretty good tires back when I rode the first time (15 years ago). Just curious.

[lawnmower gets pulled over]

Yea, the dude was an idiot. Nice move throwing your beer can in someones lawn.

[Google your phone number]

I remember this warning about a year or so ago. It doesn't pick up my phone number and it's listed in the phone book.

 

I guess I have to wonder what the big deal is. I don't care if someone knows where I live. Of course, that's just me.

 

A single gal wouldn't want some perv. finding her address.

[3,000 miles in 4 days.]

Great start for your bike!

 

I wonder if Kangaroos are as determined to get hit as deer are here in the US.

[Photos of the new bike]

Looks like you already added some nice accessories!

 

Very nice bike!

 

[servere unseasonable weather.]

It wasn't too bad in my neck of the woods. I think some guys lost power for awhile but I didn't. It's really nice out today. Wish I was riding the bike instead of entertaining company.

[Picked up the new bike today]

Can't wait to see it!

 

Hope the weather is a little nicer down south of us in Indianapolis. This weekend might be the last chance for a good ride.

[Getting a new toy!]

Good catch Allan! One of my co-workers has a V-Strom. Looks like a fun bike to ride.

[Got my Honda on EBAY]

Whoa, that's purdy! Great paint job.....

[it could have been me]

Hi Scott: I read your other post, yes it is quite a concern to look around and see friends and people you know, always involved in an accident. That I suppose is my only concern about riding.......are the ones coming up behind me, I always keep one eye behind me, always, keep the bike in gear at the stop......have trained Sandy to watch too.......and practiced it in empty parking lots....you feel this bike start to jump at the stop......you grab me and hold on we are going for a ride.

Your buddy did the right thing...he was observant....

 

I've always been concerned with people coming up behind me as well. Funny thing is I've never thought about keeping my bike in gear at a stop. Great point there, and I plan to change that bad habit.
