Interesting ride in the last two days, part of my ride to work takes me down a fairly busy two lane raod. Well yesterday a lady in a Dodge Nitro decided she wanted to pass me on the right because she could not pass on the left due to oncoming traffic she did not succed but about ran me over when the road went to four lane. You would think this would be a uncommon occurence think again a guy in a pickup truck was tailgating me halfway up the road this morning then decideds he is coming around thankfully I was able to squeeze over enough for him not to hit me or go into oncoming traffic. I stopped behind him at the traffic light and took a picture of his license plate and the big Faternal Order of Police Bumper stick, don't have aclue what I was planning on doing with the picture but it shook him up some. Just needed to vent Thanks

It's close enough now I think you should be able to get it in the next couple of days.

The amplirider is already set up for 12 volts were as the boostaroo uses batteries so unless you want to keep changing out batteries you have to adapt it to 12 volts from 1.5 volts.

Heads up GPS http://www.ce.rit.edu/research/projects/2009_fall/Motorcycle_Helmet_GPS_Heads-Up_Display/ http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/forum4/101825.html I have seen several Ultras that have them mounted to the fairing itself.

CB Squelch setting ?
etcswjoe replied to royalstar09's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Terrain also plays into your range, the transmitters on these units only put out about 4 watts and as mentioned before antennas play into this quite a bit. I would suggest checking your VSWR to make sure your antennas are good and in tune. 3-5 miles is probally a good max range any further than that would be unusual. I have Firesticks on one of my Ventures and get a little more range than stock. -
Boostaroo works well or you can always make one yourself. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2732095&CAWELAID=107598976

I did not think I set such a hard target. Does anyone want me to reset?

Nice job, makes me want to find an 82 Maxim and rebuild it.

The only time I have ever had wobble is with a loose steering head bearing when I break really hard. I have two 99's and I love both of them.

Georgia did the same thing down here during bike week, don't understand why they feel the need to single out bikes.
-
Sorry you had to drop it, however at least you were in a controlled situation and I am sure you learned something from it. The last MSF course I took the Ultra in front of me dropped in the U-Turn and I followed suit immediately but know I can do a U turn in a single lane.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to your family and the little girls family.

If you are ready for a ride drive on down to Charleston it's only 1546 KM and I am sure we could scrounge up a couple of folks to ride with you.

Sweet, Now all you need to do is paint your bike to match

I think I remember someone saying that last year about the 2010 models

Looks to me like it would be easy to burn yourself on the pipes.
