As others said - prep is the worst part! They wheeled me into the OR and I knew nothing until I saw my wife's smiling face a little while later.

12 of the Most Winding Roads Around the World

Wow. That's all I got. You would not find me on some of these. -
The lighter plug in the back is plugged into my battery tender plug. I have never noticed that plug before. Maybe I should use the plug you are referring to to power the lighter adapter in the back and use the battery tender plug to go forward for my USBs ??

Thanks Craig. Definitely putting in a relay. I am hoping I don't run into any issues. It all seems pretty straight forward.

I think I have my shopping list done. I am adding OEM driving lights to my '07 RSV with this switch: http://www.autoswitch.com/index.php I assume that since the lights are an OEM option, I should not have any issues with amp draw. I am going to put two of these in my faring http://www.3brpowersports.com/PanelTAPP.htm These will power a Garmin and an iPhone. I have a lighter adapter in the back that is rarely used but my wife uses it occassionaly to charge her phone. First, I am thinking my Garmin and phones should be pretty low amp so there should be no alternator issues, correct? I could have Lights, Garmin and iPhone all powered at one time. Second, can I just tap into the lines going into the existing lighter plug to power the two USB's or do I need to run the lines to another source? Thanks for the help - I don't play with electric very often!

I usually don't have a problem tripping the traffic light sensors on the big ol' RSV but twice in the past week I got stuck. I wanted to know how they work and was surprised that they do not detect weight. Maybe everyone else knew this already, but I'm slow. http://www.wikihow.com/Trigger-Green-Traffic-Lights

I like the looks of that Snaggletooth. If there are USB's that can put in place of two switches I may be sold on that. I use the USBs to power Garmin and iPhone. I also just found this that could be a winner... http://www.autoswitch.com/as7-technical-support.php

I just renewed my bike registration in PA for $18.00

Hope you stick around here Steve! I hate to hear stories like that but I, and everyone else here, understands like no one who has never ridden can understand. This is a family. I will be gone for months at a time but like the prodigal son, I am always welcomed back. You are always welcome no matter how many wheels are under you.

Just ordered some OEM driving lights. Now I gotta figure out a switch. What I would love is something reservoir mounted that included a toggle switch and a couple of USBs. I can't find that but I found this. It would be easy to get to and discreet. Anybody have any other suggestions? http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/bikers-choice-oval-mini-push-button-handlebar-switch-kit-for-1-inch-diameter-bars-chrome-each/part/BC-370268?action=fitment

Wow. I wonder why they had to "get going before the cops get here"?
-
I like the large sweeping curves but also do not like the "twisties". When I am on tight turns I will take them at my speed. When I ride with my brother, who loves tight turns, we just agree that at some point he will wait for me to catch up.

I had Venoms on my 07. Sidewalls were cracking and dealer had Dunlop 404s in stock. i love them but based on reviews I don't expect to get more than a year out of them. I'm going E3 next time around.

I'm getting confuzzled here. Where is the North team currently?

Happy Anniversary Yammer!

OEM tool bag plus a ratchet and socket set. Rain gear if we're out for more than a couple of days. Plexus and polish and a couple of rags. Spare batteries for the camera. A couple of cables for iPhone or Garmin. The pump for the shocks and a small electric pump for tires. Oh, and a quart of oil. For some reason, I always have to have a quart of oil in my car trunk or the saddlebag. Never had to use any - but have to have it.

I would absolutely trust her and would love to do it. If only...

Betty has her new shoes (Dunlop 404's) so we are ready to ride for the North. I can easily get to PA and can meet anyone within a day's ride of Southern PA.

I got stuck at home with tire problems I'm out 'til Saturday.

Looking for horse statue with rider...

I third that!

My wife and I will be going for a ride Sunday. Didn't have a particular destination in mind but if this is still going we'll head to Gettysburg. I played a lot at the beginning of this but have kind of drifted away from VR of late. I subscribe to this thread so I see people having fun - I just wasn't participating! I'm back though so whether it's this target or the next, I'm in!
-
If this lasts until Sunday, I'll play for the first time since about page 10 of this thread!
-
yeah that wasn't a very flattering review. I think I'll look at the Sparrow a bit more.

Does anyone have any experience with this product? https://www.denniskirk.com/slime/mini-smart-spare-kit.p282558.prd/282558.sku I like the compact pump. My saddlebags fill up fast when we are gone for more than a few days.
