I'm not trying to steal a thread but I'm in the same boat, that I'm looking for a GPS too. I want bluetooth,waterproof, to be able to load maps from street and trip software, and to be able to listen to music on a SD card. Is there anyway to do this for under 700.00?
I seen on Radio Shacks web-site you can buy a Teletype 3500 world navagation Gps for 170.00. I know its not a Garmin, but I was wondering if one knows how well it works. The reviews are mixed.
A good friend of mine has a 1250 Bandit, I think it's agreat bike for the money. I work in a machine shop so I made some brackets and put my stock FJR windshield on his Bandit and made some risers for the handbars. We also made a rack for the back. With some soft luggage we are good to go. The...
I've been riding that set-up all summer. I didn't realize how good it really was until I put a new set of PR-3's on. Last weekend I come up 598 from Bluefield WV to Rocky Gap VA. A really great road if you have never ridden. The bike really feels great, love this set up.

You can try Snow Shoe or Smoke Hole Caverns. https://www.pendletoncounty.net/index.htmn. I stayed at the motel at Appalachian- cabins and it was cheap and nice. Try these two sites it should help some.
I went with Traxxion AK 20 and a penski rear shock. I don't know if I'm riding better or that it's that much easier to ride. I know my heart rate don't jump up near as much anymore. I really like this set up and Lee was great to work with.
I have a 06 FK2100 Weekend Warrior Toyhauler that I use. I pull it with a 1/2 ton GMC 2wd pick-up. With 2 bikes and luggage it's about all it wants. I had to put air bags on the rear axle to keep it level. About 10-12 mpg is about all you are going to get. I've taken trips to AR WV TN and rode...
I'm thinking about doing a track day and I need a leather suit. I'm looking for a plain black 2 pc suit with 360 zippers. I can find them on the net for around 200.00 I thought I would see if anybody has one they would like to sale.
It's pretty cool. Besides my FJR I have a 1100 vstar that I made into a custom. I will have it in the bike show. If you come look for The Wizard of OZ bike. It's not much fun to ride, but it is fun to look at. I think Yamaha and Triumph both are giving test rides. The stunt rides outside put on...
I'm 50 I got my first minibike at 10 then to dirt bikes. At 16 I got a 72 RD350 a fast little motorcycle. Then a 650 special Honda silverwing and then a 1100 vstar. I had a guy pull across in front of me and T-boned him at 45 mph. I decided I wanted a bike with better brakes so that lead me to...
