Sorry, I'll try to get on this tomorrow night. I got flustered trying to get the Canadian Postal Codes to work in the classifieds. Finally got that working tonight.
-
OK folks...this appears to be working now. Thanks to SilvrT for his help with the data. I posted a test ad using a Candian postal code and it did work. Now I know there are some mistakes in the US zipcode data and that is what sometimes causes the distances to be incorrect. The program uses longitude and latitude coordinates that are tied to each zipcode to calculate the distance. So if any of those coordinates are entered incorrectly, it causes mistakes. If anybody cares to verify the data, you are welcome to do so. There are only about 1,860,000 entries that have to be verified. I'll just live with the mistakes thank you.

There should be a way. I tried once and failed. I'll take another look.

Well Joe, if it makes you feel any better at all, I agree that they stuck it to you. I have a large Honda dealer about 14 miles up the road that is a little higher on the tire prices than you can buy them online but if you buy from him, he installs them for free. Yes, I think that they took advantage of somebody in need.

My 550 held all the North American maps but I first had to delete some stuff that I didn't need. Like other language files and etc.

Interesting evening yesterday. I was in the hotel last night and decided to check my banking account. I do do that on a regular basis so it must have been some sort of premonition. So, I get paid twice a month via automatic deposit. Yesterday was not a payday but due to some sort of computer glitch, the company did a payroll deposit. They almost immediately caught it and then sent out a deposit reversal to all our banks. No problem right? WRONG. Then my bank made a mistake. They never credited the initial deposit to my account but were kind enough to withdraw the REVERSAL...so....my account was debited the amount of two weeks pay from my balance. It was truly by chance that I even checked the account last night. I contacted the bank and they immediately corrected the mistake and it caused no problems but you REALLY have to watch this stuff.
-
Well heck...maybe I'll just keep my 550 for now. It has been completely trouble free. I may wait a while until they get the bugs worked out of the 665.
-
No, you can find them between 8 and 9 hundred. The 665 comes with the puck so that is not extra on it.
-
Yes, it's in good shape and I've never had a problem of any kind with it. If anybody is interested, let me know.
-
Yes, we do get a discount. Did you tell him you are a member here? I don't know if the cables on the TD or longer or not. I went with the longer SS lines when I installed my Flanders bars. Several here have installed them and stayed with the stock cables. I think they had to do a bit of re-routing but made them work.
-
I've been kicking around the idea of upgrading to the 665 just because of the larger screen. I wonder though what a used 550 is worth? Think I could get $500 for it WITH the XM puck? I did upgrade the maps on it a couple of months ago.
-
You are all VERY FUNNY people. Believe it or not, I actually mentioned to Eileen that maybe we should have two a year. One in the spring and one in the fall. Don't worry though, the doctors say that I should fully recover in a few weeks.
-
The only explanation that I've heard is that the bolt that is in that same area may have been over tightened when the bike was assembled. -
I went ahead and sent them an email. I'll let you all know what I find out.

I was told that the Electrical Connection now has a plug and play harness for our bikes. I have not personally verified it and it's not listed on their page. You might want to shoot them an email or call them. Let us know what you find out. http://www.electricalconnection.com/index2.htm

I sent it via PayPal to: hackstudio@yahoo.com

Sorry about the delay folks. SilvrT was kind enough to create a file that we THINK will work to add the Canadian postal codes but I just haven't got around to trying it yet. I'm out of town and last night had to setup for a trade show that starts this morning. I promise I will get to it ASAP. I just want to make time I have sure to repair anything that goes wrong when I do it. All I have to do is try and import the new file into the existing database and I will create a copy of the existing database before I do so. Therefore, there should be absolutely no chance of any major problems but......well......you just never know.
-
James, I don't have a collector but I did just send you a donation. Wish it could have been more but hope it helps.
-
If it is cracked horizontally right about the area where at the top of the engine guard, it is a fairly common thing to happen. You may get it replaced under warranty if your bike is still under warranty. Several here have.
-
SOOOOoooooooo...........she finally admits that she lied about being totally innocent all those other times.
-
Brad, I assume that you've tried twisting them? That's the way I usually get them to break loose.

There were a few folks at maintenance day that wanted shirts but hadn't placed an order. I promised to find out if there was enough interest to place another order. If you didn't get a Maintenance Day shirt but are interested in one, please pose here. If there is enough interest, I'll order some more but there are minimum quantities required to get a halfway decent price.
-
James, From what I'm reading between the lines, she didn't want you to know that it was still in the shop and not fixed. Don't sweat it my man, she was probably just trying to make sure that you didn't get upset. Sounds like you have enough on your plate right now. Do you have a PayPal account? If so, shoot me your PayPal email address. I would be happy to donate a few bucks to the cause. Don

I'm pretty sure that everybody knows who we are by now but just to join in, here is a picture of Eileen and I. Eileen is the pretty one. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/Sleeperhawks%20Mechanic%20MD%202010/IMG_8124.jpg

I have 5 or 6 bells left.
