    2005 Goldwing
  1. I just recently traded the 99 Venture in on a 2005 Goldwing while on vacation in Arkansas. My wife, her sister, and the brother in law made me do it!! Norm
  2. My wife and I are headed down to Arkansas the first week of June to enjoy the great riding everyone is talking about. We are meeting my wife's sister and her husband from Georgia. I will keep the numbers handy of those who have offered assistance if needed. Norm
  3. It took me awhile to decide to switch my Minolta 35mm to digital. I was lucky because When Sony bought Minolta they made the Sony a200 digital which was almost the same camera as my Maxxum. Same lenses and flash fit. Just bought the body and was ready to go. I gave up nothing except the wait for developing. I can still set the F stop, shutter speed, ASA, etc. The creativity is still there and the fun goes on.
  4. I just mentioned to my wife that I hadn't seen any post about Pork in the Pines lately and the web site doesn't have any info for this year. Any info about this year would be great. Norm
  5. I'll be happy to take the Diamond R arm rest off your hands. My wife has been asking for a set. PM me has to how you would like me to pay. Thanks Norm
  6. Here is a picture of the snow blower parked on the side of the road up on the pass
  7. Yes Beartooth pass officially opened all the way across last Monday. My wife, her sister & brother in law from Rome, Georgia and I rode across. Beautiful and cold. 33 degrees at the top with probably a 20mph wind. here are a couple of pictures. Norm
  8. Okay I met up with Wadye this weekend in Missoula, MT to transfer the trailer over to him. Unfortunately because of heavy rain fall and flooding on our side of the state we DIDN't get a nice weekend bike ride out of it liked we had hoped. So again the F150 transported it. On the other hand Wayde said he had a nice ride and he did pull the trailer with his Venture. Norm
  9. I installed a firestick antenna. To tune it I disconnected the cable from the antenna that goes to the radio and hooked it to the SWR meter so I have the cable running from the radio to the SWR meter. I then took the jumper cable that came with the SWR meter and hooked it to the SWR meter ANT connection and then to the antenna. Following the SWR meter instructions I then set the switch on the SWR meter to FWD. I then pushed the PTT button on the bike . The directions say to adjust the meter until it hits the set on the fare right of the meter. When I turn the knob all the way to adjust the needle it doesn't even move up to the 1.5 mark. A long ways from the SET mark. What am I doing wrong or does my CB not work. Any advise would be appreciated Thanks Norm
  10. Good Luck to you Dan. Hope all goes well.
  11. I talked with Dan today. The other driver coming from Seattle to pick up his load was held up so he is suppose to meet Dan tonight. Dan is going to bring the trailer to Glendive, MT tomorrow on his way back home. I will keep the trailer until I can get it to Spokane. Wayde I am tied up ever weekend in April. What does the first weekend in May look like for you to meet in the Spokane area. Norm

    crater lake

    Crater Lake is beautiful. We took it in when we did an Oregon Coast trip a couple of years ago. We were there the 2nd week of July and there was still some snow on the ground.
  13. I have been considering a GPS. I have read a number of threads this past year with various opinions as to what model to get. For budget reasons and because the boss isn't sure I need one I am looking at the lower priced ones. My question for those who have the lower priced ones is the audio loud enough to hear voice commands from the internal speaker or do you have a way to run it through the intercom? I run my MP3 player through the aux. jack by the cassette player. Your input is appreciated. Norm
  14. The Marshall Mod web is http://bludolphintravel.com/gmg/marshallmod.htm. It tells you exactly what you need and even gives part numbers.
  15. yes the one antenna is for the AM/FM radio the other for the CB
