    Very handy site. Thanks for this

    Isn't the Personal a dedicated Military/DND insurance? I have a friend who crashed his bike on a run last year, it took him a little under 12 months to get payment. My ex-son inlaw got side swiped on his car last year and still doesn't have payment. Personal is cheap but not very reliable when it comes to payment.

    I guess to overcome that "talking over the radio" problem, one can manually lower the radio volume down when talking. Thanks for the replies

    I might have misunderstood or misread some stuff but I was under the impression the radio was suppose to cut off when we use the intercom. If the radio is on the speakers I can understand it why it may not cut off but when listening to tunes in the HeadSet, it is pretty hard to understand my passenger and vice versa. Is there a setting to get the radio to cut off when talking or is it something I have to live with? Thanks

    I knew it sounded fishie but I neve thought they were that bad. Tx all for the input. John, I will check the reviews on that cross over. The one thing I don't want is a GPS that will route me through gravel roads. I had a Magellan before and it didn't care if I had a bike. One of the gravel roads it sent me through was barely fit for a 4 wheeler. Do you know it this one has the option of not allowing gravel roads? Thanks

    Regarding purchasing a Zumo 550, I found this on the net. Price is the lowest I have ever found http://www.86photovideo.com/products.asp?product_id=18765 But sometimes, best price may not be the best deal. Just wondering if anyone has good/bad experience with these quys. Cheers

    I have a similar problem as BobCat plus I can't see the map in my signature right now. It says it is there but I sure as heck can't see it. Can you? UPDATE: I can see it now on this post only but not on any others I have made......could be a work firewall issue I guess. I will see tonight on my home computer if it shows.

    That was a really great way to get "road scars" for sure. She and I both enjoyed the ride and this is really not an outrageous price to pay to see the light she had in her eyes from this ride. Tx John. I will take a spin on the North side and see if I can get that. I know a couple of fellas on base with RSVs maybe we can get a ride together sometimes. I have a cottage near Pugwash we could use as a pit stop. Cheers

    I have often wondered where to get those maps (Canada and US). Now I know how to put them in my signature but where do I get them in the first place?
  15. Maritimer
    Tx I will look for something like that north of the border. Hopefully will find it at Canadian Tire or Napa. Cheers

    I took my grand daughter on a toy drive this past weekend. Beautifull weekend and great ride. Around 200 bikes of all makes and models. Great turn out. Anyway, I had the intercom set up on her helmet but she is not really tall at 9 years old and I did not notice the cord from her head set was dragging on the bag cover. This caused a scuff mark approx 1/2" wide by 4" long across the width of the cover. Is there anyway to get rid of that? (not looking for a paint job here LOL) Thanks all.

    Uuuugly!

    I am 5' 4"...before I even took the bike out of the shop when I first bought it I took the seat to Upholstery shop who specializes in motor vehicles. I had 1 1/2" of foam removed and added a 1/2" gel pad for the loss of foam. The ride is still more then comfortable. Further to that, I lowered the front end by 1". This way, I take full advantage of the lower seat on my bike and get the added bike control at low speed. I believe there is a How To with pics in the tech section on this. Well worth doing. Now I can put both feet on the ground solidly. Cheers

    This is the one I have and I love it. I had another set I had paid twice the price tag on this one and the sound was terrible. Very tinny. these I even enjoy listening to my music through them. CB comes it very clear and so does the intercom. http://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JM%2DHS%2D8154%2DOF Total with shipping and customs, came to Approx $92 Can Cheers

    Any one heard or is using this technology? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GScWPb8qcng&NR=1]YouTube - Crazy motorcycle tires[/ame] Looks pretty good stuff.

    Since we don't have a "Dark Side" section yet I will post here. Is there anyone who ever tried a CT who decided to never go back for what ever reason?
  22. Maritimer
    Where did you find them?
  23. Maritimer
    Please do start this new section. I am also going to the dark side when I replace this rear tire.

    Mine is a shortie 9" and I love it.

    I really like that idea of using that switch for the passing lights. More accessible then by the lighter.....and no more "WTF isn't the bike starting" comments LOL
