    It sure sounds like something is dominating your memory. It could indeed be some type of key logger but something seems to be really using your memory.

    That has happened to several people. It even happened to me when I updated mine to the 2010 maps. I ended up deleting all the voices except for three that I occasionally use and also some songs that I had accidentally stored on internal memory instead of the SD chip that I had intended to. After that, the maps fit on the unit.

    Jonas, I know Rod at Pinwall. Have done business with him and have met with him a couple of times in person. Let me know if I can help in any way. I would be happy to give him a call for you. Don

    I just did a search but it seems that his website is no longer good either.

    Here is one thread that explains it fairly well but probably won't help much because it really reaches no conclusion on the number of turns. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32906&highlight=analyzer

    I would bet that the 100 is peak and most likely over stated as many units are. Plus, it would only be putting that out at max volume I think.

    I think it is probably because there really is no standard. It would really require and exhaust gas analyzer to adjust them properly. I do think that 2 1/2 is a good starting point though. I think that 2 1/4 was sort of a standard but they would all vary.

    In my opinion, you would absolutely need the rear brackets.

    I received the following notification from the host of our chat rooms. We are planning to switch your chat host DNS(host8/host718) tomorrow. The whole process has been scheduled as described below: SCHEDULE DNS switch Time(CST):11:00 pm, 11th, Jan.,2010 PURPOSE Due to the instability of servers from the current ISP, we have decided to change our ISP to enhance the chat performance. IMPACT to you It usually takes up to 24 hours before all the DNS servers worldwide take effect and during this period, some of your chatters may resolve to our old server and some may use the new one.So there may exist some communication problems during this time.

    I'll be looking forward to the Black Death. Only got a single little sip the last time. I won't let THAT happen again. You know that whether you come alone or with your wife, you always have a room here at our house.

    Was very excited to hear from Jonas last night. He called to see how everybody was doing and it was a nice surprise to hear from him. He is still working in Norway and putting in a LOT of hours...way too many but says that with the economic conditions in Iceland, he is happy to have a job. He won't make it back over this year but plans to visit again in 2011. I hope it happens, he is a true gentleman and it would be great to see him again.

    Rick, I'm glad that nobody was hurt but it must have been a scary experience for you and your passenger. What a way to get woke up. I was thinking about you yesterday, wondering if you had headed home yet and if you were going to come by. I guess this answers the question. I'm really sorry that it wasn't worse than it is.

    Sunman, your explanation about the name is dead on. I hadn't thought of it that way. Good job.

    Here is one that I posted in another thread a few days ago. You folks don't know what cold is. We were at the deer camp one night and it was cold and very windy. We had a good camp fire going and were all standing around the fire waiting on the coffee to get finished perking. I saw my buddy Mike rolling something around with his foot. Wasn't sure what it was. Looked like a Walnut or something but there were no Walnut trees around the campsite. I finally saw him kick whatever it was into the fire and then a few moments later, there was a loud POP and then a terrible stink. Turned out to be a FROZEN FART. It was so cold that they were freezing as they came out, rolling down his pants leg and then onto the ground. We had all eaten beans for dinner...that was one heck of an evening.

    That's a good price but if it is the 0-300 psi, I really don't like that wide a range. All you need for our bikes is the 0-60 as it will cover the entire range of our shocks and I think would be more accurate at the lower end needed for the front forks.

    I seldom go to my Facebook account. If I get an email that somebody that I know wants to be added, I'll click on it and approve them but that's about it. The first one linked above was not started by me but was started somewhat as our unofficial Facebook account I think. I would be glad for whoever started it to re-name it as VentureRiders if they so choose to do so.

    There are SO many posts here that will answer your questions. There are also a lot of different opinions on which way to go depending upon your budget and etc. Search Garmin here and you'll find a lot of info. Many of us here like the Garmin Zumo 550. It is made for motorcycles and is weather proof. It comes with everything you need to mount it on your bike plus an additional mount for your car. There are also lower priced units that many here use. Garmin 765T is one of those. They are not water proof but many have used them here with good success. For talking on your phone via bluetooth through your headset, yes, the Buddy Rich cable is the solution and is all that you need. I know that some folks have mounted the usual XM antenna inside the fairing and have said that it worked OK. I haven't seen any reports on doing this with the Garmin XM unit though so can't answer your question. It would not be a good solution for me though because I move it back and forth between the bike and my work car. The mount that comes with the Zumo 550 works fine. For other models, the Ram Mounts are very popular.

    It takes dedication but it sounds like she is ready to do it. I went back to college when I was in my 30's. I was working full time for Texas Utilities as an electrician. Took a few hours the first semester and then enrolled full time the second semester. Ended up taking 17-21 hours per semester all at nights and weekends and finished in about 3 years by going all year round. It was tough working full time and going to school full time but I ended up really enjoying being in school again so that made it much easier. You are obviously proud of her as you should be. Sounds like you did a good job raising that young'un.

    Heck...no reason to roll the piano out. We could just jam in the living room. BUT..if you want to do it outside, I do have a Yamaha digital keyboard also.

    It's not built in but it does come with it. Different model number than the one for the 550 but I don't know if they would interchange or not. As long as it comes with it, really doesn't matter.

    It's coming along slowly. Got tired of it for a while but have picked it up again now. I'm just not a natural. Will never be great but I do enjoy it. and for YOU Ms. Mini....I prefer that my guitar remain DRY.
  23. Freebird
    I think if I did the pickin', there would be a LOT of grinnin'....actually ....LAUGHING. NO WAY my friend.

    Between those two, I would go with the Khromewerks.

    On further review, it is actually a better deal than the ZUMO 550 if you want the XM antenna. The 665 comes with the antenna where it is an extra $200+ dollars on the 550. Since I am happy with my 550 though and already have the XM antenna for it, I won't be upgrading.
