2 second gen, please

I wish you all the best of luck in your retirement plan. We are very fortunate in that it looks like we will be able to both quit the full-time jobs about the same time. I think you will enjoy the ride back home, though. We did something like that last year when I had to be in NJ for work. I rode up, and Elizabeth flew up to meet up with me when it was time to come home. It was a lot more fun than the trip up by myself.

Looks interesting. I would want to know the cost and size before making a commitment though.

Your friend did some beautiful work. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I have the SD lightbar. From pictures it looks the same to me as the ones from Diamond R and R-Mark. I believe that the only option (besides color) from SD is three running and then all on for braking.

Jeff I am glad you clarified somewhat. Was beginning to think I needed to come over and do an intervention. Hope you are staying sane. And no matter what they say, it is possible to come back from the sandbox without having bought a Harley at the PX.

The 765T is bluetooth enabled. It has a microphone built in, not sure if an input cable for it would work.

I have a 765T and also a Lowrance IWay 500C. The pro for the 765 is the size, lots easier to stash in a bag when I get off the bike and a lot lighter. I have mine mounted on a U bolt Ram mount. I like the go home feature, but searching for some things takes forever (Bass Pro shop). I never had a problem seeing the Lowrance screen in daylight, but the Garmin washes out real easy. But the plus is that the Garmin automatically adjusts for night. The IWay is waterproof, but ziploc bags are cheap and the 765 is cheaper than the IWay. The 765 uses street names when alerting for turns, which is helpful, whereas the Iway doesn't. You can change the language being spoken on the 765 which sometimes causes me to listen up a bit better (I like Australian when I have other folks, German when it is just me). The 765 I got came with a traffic receiver. It is excellent in the car, will help you route around problems, but the cradle needed to work with that doesn't mate with my Ram mount. If I trusted the suction cup it would work, but I have a lot more faith in the Ram mount not letting go at an inappropriate moment.

Buy everything I have for sale, then start your own classified ad with that stuff.

Oh come on. I know that at least some of you must have seen the movie Multiplicity. Of course his clones are how he does it. Just be careful around the clone of the clone.

Just remember the rule of thumb my Dad taught me, never order chicken fried steak north of the Red or east of the Sabine.

3 Bruised Ribs, A Sprained Wrist, and my Pride

Charlie, on a KLR it is perfectly acceptable to go past the "Pavement Ends" sign. However, one should be cautious going past the "Dirt Ends" sign. Hope you heal up soon. -
Ok, it's Saturday, why aren't you on your RSV???

Cause it's 11 P.M. and I don't like waking up the wife raising the garage door. -
I have a device that provides bluetooth to my hearing aids. It is possible, and I do it, to answer a phone call while on the bike. That lets me talk long enough to say, hang on while I pull over and I'll talk to you then if it is something I need to handle. Otherwise it is a call you later response. And as far as the escape part goes, I was able to get paid to ride my bike to NJ for a business trip. That may sound like not much fun, but every evening when work was done and on the weekend, I was off riding in places I had never had a bike. So I will continue to ride on business calls when I can and enjoy the roads between here and there.

Even if you can't read German you will get the idea. Looks like the perfect pastime for a meet and eat. http://www.bierbike.de/ueber-das-bierbike.html

I noticed that Swifty is a right-wing fella after all. -
I agree about the lawyer. That is about the only way you are going to be able to clear yourself with the IRS and be able to get on with your life.

Swifty Course we ain't gonna use words in that there English dictionary, we don't speak furriner talk down here in the south.

Not to bum you out, but the smell will stick with you awhile. Good to hear you are settling in. If you want, we can take your bike apart and ship it to you a piece at a time. Should have it all to you in a couple of years or so.

To use saddle bags, or not to use saddle bag? That is the question.
Gray Ghost replied to ToolmanRR's topic in Watering Hole
I have a full set made by Beer30. Great construction, very sturdy. I am also impressed at the way it allows me to actually load more than I was ever able to without the liners. And one of my saddlebags is just tools, cover, and other assorted motorcycle items. Keeping it in a bag makes it easier whenever I have the bike serviced. Just pull the bag and the pilferables go with me. -
we bought a tempurpedic. You cannot tell when the other person moves around unless they are really trying to annoy you. We think it was worth the money.

Back in November I was out in Texas and picked something up. Even with Ride on the tire was going flat. Since I was on the road and nowhere near anyplace I could get help, I tried the old fix-a-flat can. I was able to keep going until I got to a town with a dealer, but I don't think it was doing anything the ride-on wasn't doing.

I had chatterbox headsets. They eventually died, which I expected to happen sooner or later. Replaced them with JM headsets, the clarity is way better, the fit to the helmet is better, and the speakers and mike can be unplugged and replaced separately if need be.
