    About a year and a half ago I ordered the Air Wings from Baker. They still had them listed on their site at the time. These are the ones that are at your knee level. Anyhow I had ordered them with chrome brackets. I got a call from them and they said they were discontinuing those items and had no chrome ones left. I told them to cancel the order because I didn't want black powder coat. About 2 hours later they called back and said they found one last pair of chrome ones in someones desk.. So I believe I got the last ones.

    The motorcycle specific garmins come with a car mount AND a motorcycle mount. The M/C mount is hard wired to the bike so that everything is connected to the mount. This makes it easy to take it off and on the bike. Also there are modes. It is like having more than one GPS. You can have everything set up on the unit for the bike (like avoidances etc) and save those settings to the bike mode then set it all up different for the cage and save those settings to the cage mode. The unit is smart enough to know which cradle it is in. BUT the best feature is being able to read it in broad daylight or direct sunlight. I have the Zumo 660... Love it!!

    Welcome aboard.. I think you will totally enjoy your new bike. If you have any questions be sure to ask us. You will most likely get lots of answers and some of them may even be right.. Depending on the questions you may start a debate or two ... THAT CAN BE FUN!!

    If you are only getting main hwys then you only have the base map. You need to actually download the complete map. That can be done when upgrading the maps on your unit. BUT you need to choose to do it. It is not done automatically.

    Could the antenna from a 2nd gen work?

    I was using a 785T and found that Mapsource from Garmin was excellent. I now have a Zumo 660 and it works exactly the same for routes. I do find that I have to make sure I'm using the same maps on the computer as in the unit. I also put a waypoint in pretty much every intersection that I want to make a turn. There are a couple of places where the maps think it is gravel but I know it is paved so I have to put in a few more waypoints to make it take those roads. Otherwise it works perfectly.

    I'm sorry to hear you dropped it and took some abuse. I did that as well my first ride of my first summer with my 84. I was devastated. eBay and some help from friends got me back in the saddle within weeks. Figure out what you need and post it up here. Some folks are parting out a bike or two. I know an 84 is being parted out. Maybe something you need is available. I have a left mirror... Wayne

    I happened to be away that weekend with Family necessities (actually very close to your home base) in Field. As a result I didn't have the same dissappointment as the others BUT nevertheless I'll be looking forward next spring to drinking your beer at Marcarls Venture Inn... Wayne

    Mike: Using regular is just fine in the 1st gens. I THINK it is even fine in the 2nd gens. Buying premium is a waste of money. For awhile I THOUGHT I was getting better mileage with a mid grade but it made no difference in the way it runs. I did a few tanks comparison this summer and there was no difference in mileage either. Wayne

    I have a couple of the first ones and they are amazing. We put ice in them with water first thing in the morning when we leave and most of the time we still have ice by supper time.. We will want the bigger ones so 2 for us as well..

    Now you can work on the bottom of the trailer without bending that creaky old back of yours...

    I just noticed that you live in Chatsworth. If I remember correctly that is the snow capitol of Southern Ontario. I remember going through there and most areas south of there as well as past there has a little snow but you had 6 feet... It was amazing and seems to be very local... Guess this gives you a good reason to stay inside and play with those parts.. Wayne

    I recently (beginning of summer) got a Fuji Finepix F80 exr and it fits what you are looking for. I love it. Great camera. If you look around can get one for about $230. Does 720p HD video, 10x zoom with wide angle and 12 megapixels. Has lots of auto features as well as manual overrides. I buy all my cameras at Henrys (Canada) and I did some research. Had this camera in mind before I went to the store. Told them my price range and asked what was the best camera (their opinion) in that range. Without hesitation they showed me this camera. Anyhow I believe it is a good choice in your price range. http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/f/finepix_f80exr/

    I had a friend with a 1200 GL and he did an aftermarket switch to a car alternator. It worked well and gave him lots of juice...
