    Thom,Me and my friend Billy and wives are heading out that day also,our plans are head towards New Mexico and then whatever..contact me if you want a few riding partners for a day or two..We are scheduled to go to Santa Fe,then head south toward Ruidoso and then Alpine Texas then Home..Depends on your schedule but we are just going for the enjoyment,not necessarily the amount of miles in a day.

    Herb,My Mom (She has the same unit) had that same problem..I reloaded the program. Call Garmin and they will have the link if you have the webupdater installed. Its pretty simple,even I an do it.

    All I know is I have the Zumo550 and It has everything..I love it and had it for around 2 years..Would I buy again,Yes HAve I compared it too others that have different brands Yes but feature for feature if you want the whole package and can bite the bullet on the Zumo it is worth it.

    Yes Larry (GuthDaddy) had a mishap in Johnson City but I just got off the phone with him again and they are A OK. We communicated with him and he was OK but not able to make the trip. I will make another weekend of it even if it is just he and I and the Wives..He was really looking forward to it..We will ride again! There are a few stories but I dont know if it would be the same telling them..You justhad to be there. Alll I can sa is Jose Cuervo can really bring out the singing talent in some!

    One more thing....THANK YOU to all that came! What a great group of guys and Gals!
  12. Tom
    We just made it home..I kept in touch with Larry and guys I am glad they are OK..He was only 15 miles from the house when it happened..So glad they are OK and NO the Dog was not on board! Also..I will let others let ya know about the trip but all I can say is WOW!!! The Amarillo Tx bunch made there first meet..I think they were not expecting all of what went on...For those that missed it..well it was a success!Pictures will follow by the other members but we saw the most magnificent array of flowers that can be imagined..Imagine a Sea of Purple..literally 100s of acres solid purple with cactus rising from it all with dashes of yellow flowers mixed in...Mind boggling. Hope everyone makes it home OK..We are home! http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=2045567&id=1073186456 I think this link will give a few more pictures from a good friend of mine

    I have never used the Edsets but I have heard great things about them..I am currently using the J&M Elite 584 and in my opinion they ar fantastic. I have been told nothing beats the edsets as far as music thru the headsets but my Elites are pretty darn good!
  14. Tom
    See ou two in Leakey JB..I responded to your other question on the BBQ meet thread. Tom

    Rob,This link is what most of us use here..I thought about a center stand but it DOES NOT get the wheel offhe ground..This stand is the best thing you can buy for getting the Venture off the ground SAFELY to service it. I just wish I would not have waited 4 years to buy it as I use it weekly just for good cleanings on the bike.. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2673&title=carbon-one-freestanding-lift-adapter&cat=7 Hope you join up..You will find the $12.00 the best you have ever spent,we hold maintenance days meet n eats and just Help each other when in need....no matter where you are in the country! Welcome,Tom

    Im running an Odyssey but am not pleased with the life of it...I just ordered a Deka from Earl,(I think he goes by Skydoc) but anyway the Deka is 310CCA so thats way more than my Odyssey. Not 15 mins after I ordered it($87.00) to the door he messaged me THANKING me for the order...I havnt got that kind of service in many many years. Anyway he says I illhave it by Wednesday. My Odyssey was OK at first but it has gone south after roughly 1.5 years or so. He has an AD in the classified.

    Ive wondered alot about you...Im glad you are doing OK Sherry..If ever in Texas in my area give Deb and I a call..Your ride is waiting. Tom and Debby
  18. Tom
    Just come ride with the Houston group....Trust me EVERYONE is aware you are around,I think all of them have Stebel horns and they go off alot!
  19. Tom
    You can..I dont know if you all have the "ruts" in the road like we do down here but one thing you will really notice with either the E3 or Avon is it handles wayyy better than the 404s in those ruts. i can literally let go of the bars and it steers straight thru with no following of the ruts
  20. Tom
    I will let ya know by phone If I can make it..I will be getting ready for a 4 day trip to New Mexico with Billy and his wife and believe it or not Debby says She is going to make it come He.. or high water..So if I get my stuff packed up I will see you guys.Did this make sense? Im gonna give that Wing a run for its money this time!
  21. Tom
    As it stands now E3s..I love Avons but with the cracking sidewall issue Ill run the E3s until Avon resolves the issue..Metzler no way form or fashion..many threads here warning against them,yes a few have had good luck but at 1700 miles rubber started chunking off my rear tire so I threw them away. My E3s are about 6000 miles and no wear to speak of
  22. Tom
    Well said..

    http://clearviewshields.com/shop/product.php?id=184 Several have cut down there windshields,I have not but I did order thru the link I supplied and very happy with it. I had the vent put in and really like that also.
  24. Tom
    Well... Ive had the same thoughts. My wife has had 17 Spine and neck surgeries,If we fall She is a goner but She has told me She wants to live and its HER choice to ride so I have to suck it up and be as careful as I can be. We have had some of our best memories on the bike and met some fantastic peole. Will it tear me apart if we crash..you bet it will but I will always remember our good times but I will also Pray it never happens. Bottom line is we all handle crisis in different ways. I will continue to Pray nothing ever happens. Be safe,your heart is in the right place! Tom

    After 2.5 years of procrastination I bought the GXM30 Antenna to complete my Zumo 550...I installed it and to my surprise XM has a Lifetime subscription like my Sirius does so I bought the Lifetime subscription so I could finish out my Zumo Mods! Now even though I like Sirius better,I just had to get my Zumo completed,glad I did. I thought many times about just getting a cradle for my Sirius receiver but I have too much stuff on the handlebars already. Let the riding begin!
