Sorry couldnt resist.

I was using mine for "plug in MP3" and it kept telling me something like "can not connect to intercom". So I guess I need to read up and figure out what I'm doing wrong.
-
If needed my GPS has a compass mode. For the most part the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west in these parts. SO sun on right, I'm heading north, on my back west and I'm gonna run out of dry land soon.
-
Nope Still have them. Probably will hang on to them for a bit and be sure I like the Senas. So far I am happy, although need to tweak the mic setting on the wifes.

Sounds like the "clamp" is what he needs Bob. I just bought 2 of them off e-bay for 36 bucks, as we picked up 2 brand new Mag 9 for $100 ea. J&P had them on sale for biketober week when we dropped in Sunday. The smh5 didnt get very good reviews from what I read up on. Had something to do with the way it mounted in the clamp on helmet. The 10 R I think it is I have read OK reviews. It is the sort of rectangle shaped one.

WOW We scored a good deal I think. Just recently bought a pair of Sena SMH-10, so ditched the wired comms. While installing the units I noticed our helmets are like 6+ years old. While they never have been dropped or anything articles indicate they have reached or will soon their "life" expectancy. Anyways we were on our way back from our trip North Carolina with a side return to Savannah and stopped in Sunday @ J&P cycles in Daytona. While taking our riding break we dropped into J&P mostly I figured the wife who is sometimes difficult to get a lid to fit rite might as well try on some from the store with the many varieties available. A nice young lady helped her out trying different ones. I had started at a display with Mag-9 all red. Wife is trying some on and I had shopped them prior to our trip, price range was $179 everywhere I had looked. E-bay or Jafrum, cycle gear any of them. J&P had a "show special" of $99.99 for just the read ones. LOL Got her fitted up and I figured what the heck I got one too. Nice thing was, I paid for them there, got fitted etc and being we were completely loaded and no room, they shipped them home for us. So for about the price of one we got too. Now got to shop for the clamp for the MAG-9

Lenny, I left Deals Gap heading north. I too waited for sort of a "gap" in bikes. But the 18 wheelers was coming from the other way. As they dont have any kind of way to tell folks on the bottom whats coming, Me and the big truck met, almost at a very very bad way. I'm surprised this jerk didn't hurt someone on his way down. they fellows that helped me said he was off both sides all the way down, and I was not the first he had run off the road, but the others were luck'er.
-
A pic or two later it shows the DOT reg numbers and company name. I though I would send them a nice note on how their driver was illeagaly driving on this road for no reason empty and almost caused a fatality. But cant find an e-mail address for the company.

YUP I think those are the roads I took down to SC and Ga this weekend. I know 64 out Sapphire was and then before lake Toxaway I cut down one thru forrest etc. Nice riding and no 18 wheelers trying to run your lane around corners, crazy sport bikes etc. Wider too. I'm done with the Dragon hype too. This Jack A$$ about killed me. http://killboy.photoreflect.com/store/Orderpage.aspx?pi=04RK02LH040001&po=7&pc=34 Once some nice folks helped me get back on the road, I turned around and called it a day.

We left Sapphire down Highlands was Fri Am about 8. Was high 40's but seemed cooler in the shade of them trees. Nice ride down to Savannah (well except in Oliver SC or Ga which ever thnx Officer). Coming home today was windy as all heck down to Fla.
-
I like. I neede one of them.

Soooooo ever had a #%=÷%#! 18 wheeler on the dragon almost kill ya? I did!!!!!!! Tue I rode over from Highlands area. Wife was shopping with a friend so I went for a ride. FIRST freakin right hander Im set for the corner an as I look thru the corner here is a 53ft freakin 18 wheeler that aint even suposed to be on this road comming at me using his lane my lane and the shoulder. Well I dodged right and off the pavement I went with about a 8 inch or more drop down to grass. Luckly I got stopped, kept the pig upright and didnt take a header down the valley. Do you thi,k the azz stopped to see if he killed me? Nope. But my thanks the to good Lord for looking out after me, also to the good folks that helped me get the bike back up on the road and turned back down the road. Im done ever riding this road until the law puts these guys in nail or something.as many LEO's as patrol this road and they dont stop these big rigs. They got no reason to be on this road. Sorry for rant.

Wow I get to make better than 600 miles tomorrow on our trip to NC.
-
Google maps says 1hr 10 min. But I bet closer to 1.5 hr. here is map We are leaving SAt from here and stopping in Madison Ga. Then Sunday will finish up to Sapphire, will probably stop off in Highlands for lunch or something along the way as its only like 4 hours from Madison to Sapphire. Wife had talked about her and her friend going over to Franklin one day to shop or goof off or something. I was thinking about hit the road for the day. But dunno what day they have in mind.
-
Well its finally here. We are heading out for almost a week to NC. Staying in Sapphire with a friend until Fri. Then heading over to Savannah for a day or so. hoping the weather will co-operate.

A couple years ago I built a 5 pin "jumper" cable with 3.5mm feed. I connects under the fairing inline with the OEM 5 pin and runs the 3.5mm for ear buds back to me so I can plug in ear buds, which were my preferred method of listing. You will have to look hard, but it sits on top of the OEM plug

If its a second gen no center stand. Most folks I know have said they use a piece of 2x4 under the side stand. Thats pretty close to level.

I was selected way back in about 1982 or something. By letter as the interweb wasn't born yet. So I open my letter from Sarasota Circuit Courts and found I had been selected. I called the number the next morning when I got off duty. Informed the lady I would be more than happy to serve, they just needed to pay my transportation from Oklahoma to Fla and contact my Command section. She asked if I was in the military, and I told her yes Ma'am. She said thank you, and I will take you off the list. It was done off drivers licence way back then also. Luckily I haven't been called since. Watch, now I'll have to go to it though that I'm talking about it.

I ran Castrol GTX in my 4cy race cars for years. Partially because from what I had read in magazines etc back then the Castrol was more recommended for the higher revving 4cyl engines. Worked well for all the years I ran it. One engine failure with a tossed rod and I actually think maybe the oil pump was TU before rod kicked out.

Seriously??? $10 what they figure its maybe an hours worth of your time? I mean I dont expect to get my hourly salary as it is "civic duty" and all. but dont insult me with not even enough to by lunch.
-
Naw thanks anyways. I'm good, the rig will work fine. Dont mind a cable to the helmet for the GPS. LOL Its lighter and smaller than the J&M job. one of my worries if being able to figure out what does what and how, answer phone switch back and all that with out having to read the entire manual 3 times.
-
Yup all charged up. I mounted them up after work tonight. Got the firm ware on them last night, so had to re-pair them today after mounting up. Could pair the sets together, and to my phone and the boss. but I could not get it to pair with my 765t. I read that the "codes" to pair as a MP3 player were different and thats why that function will not work. But I cant get it to pair GPS mode either. The GPS says "can not connect to Bluetooth" or something to that effect. Being we leave Sat I think my work around is just to run GPS thru the bike radio as I always have and connect my ear bud plug from the intercom to the Sena via cord.

Well We went and done did it. Wanted to get the wife a proper motorcycle jacket that isn't 2 sizes to big and one of my take offs or didnt fit right. So we went to Cycle Gear in Orlando. Picked her up a nice jacket I think is going to work well. she asked the salesman about wireless headsets. First thing out his mount was about the Sena. I found that a little odd as "their brand" is the blinc. Anyways we picked up the SMH10 dual set. Paid more than I had shopped out on e-bay but......... Oh well its only money rite?

How far have you driven on Reserve Fuel?
djh3 replied to Du-Rron's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
On a trip up to Ky from my buddies in NC. We were running along and I needed fuel. I think I went like 40 some miles, I was sweating it bad.5.2 gal or something, I was scared we even detoured so I could gas up as we had not seen any signs for gas stations. Turn back on the road we were on, and sure enough 3 or so miles down road was a C-store with gas. Geeze
