Well, not in keeping with your request, but here's my input FWIW ... I really don't deduce there's a strong alternative to Garmin. My 550 was great (sold it with a bike), and my 660 is better. Based on my experience with a bad battery in the 550 requiring battery removal & reinsert, in your...

Yes, the RAM phone cradle holds mePhone 6 quite securely on my RT. Part number RAM-HOL-AP18U in my case--there are different cradles fitted to each phone model.

You made it out alive Michael? Awesome!

I'm guessing he's yelling because of all the splinters in his private parts?

In the good old days of the Boeing 707 (having 4 engines) ... The plane just reached cruising altitude and the Captain announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've discovered a slight problem with one engine so we're shutting it down as a precaution. Don't worry, we'll still get you to our...

My favorite part of the article:

^ Aint that the truth!! Just this weekend, I was taking a selfie to see how cool I would look in my mirrored helmet visor. As I did that, I found I should have slowed down to ~50 mph first... darn near had to lay it down when grandma started backing her Prius out of her driveway into my path at...

Interesting red. My guess is the fine print [the contract of service] doesn't say 12 issues per year, but more likely states a duration, such as "one year". But I don't know for sure and no doubt it feels like being cheated. The less frequent publishing is perhaps linked to a declining...

That is like some of the crazy bicyclists around here! Just this past weekend I clocked a solo rider at ~50 mph coming down Lookout Mountain into Golden (curvy, narrow, busy), using the full road width, positioned poorly into blind corners, passing cars. A couple times over past years I've been...

No, not the end. IMO there are simply more and more things pulling at us all (good and bad), including aging/demographics, adding up to a decline in motorcycling (which is not a foretelling of the end of motorcycling). How many of us are increasing our riding lately (as in recent years vs...

Generally true, but there are some of us with circulation issues... body core can be warm enough that we're sweating, but fingers are still cold (sometimes numb). I've heated handgrips and seat, Gerbing T5 heated gloves, microwire jacket, and insoles. And my hands still get cold. But certainly...

I rooted for the Pats ... to help the Eagles win.

I hear you Hudson about waning desire to ride. For me, I've ridden everywhere I can ride inside of a half-day from home (that duration is about all I can allocate given everything else), many times over. With all the distracted drivers, the draconian speed limits with no passing lanes in...

Circa 2014: https://www.nic-nagoya.or.jp/en/e/archives/4524 A bullet near the bottom: "People with large motorbikes must show that they can pick up and drag their bikes prior to taking the regular test(s). If one does not pass this test, they cannot continue to the regular test(s)." When I was...

+1. Credit accounts are Frozen (locked). I check my credit reports every year. I monitor my accounts closely. Plus, I've setup alerts so that I get a text the moment there's any money movement or pending charge for any of my accounts.
