    Will the 350 LM zumo work with the street & trip software and let you listen to music?

    Looking to get a new GPS, what do you own?

    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 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...

    Traxxion Review

    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.

    Traxxion AK 20's + Penske = Pure Bliss!

    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.

    The Toy Hauler Travel Trailer

    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...

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...
