    Starcomm VS. Autocomm.

    Have an old Starcomm, just wonder if the starcomm was better or the autocom? The problem I have with the starcomm is with the 3.5mm plug for the iPod, damn thing is mono if pushed all the way, mono if it's not in far enough. You gotta do the Goldiflocks thing just right to get stereo, which is...

    Yellowstone Area Rides

    Riding up to Yellowstone in early June with our rag tag band. Some of the guys have never been there, so we figure to spend a day in the Park. And the "old guy" rides an H-D and is only good for about 400 a day before he gets cranky (and no, not leaving him behind!), although he is signed up for...

    GPS, Worth the $$$ or not?

    Is it Friday yet? Been thinking about GPS. I've never been a big fan of GPS, but can see where they would be helpful in some situations. What I love to do is read maps, here at home on the throne, and find roads that look good, then go ride them. I use Microsoft Street and Trips for route...

    Wyoming Road Info.

    Wyoming 352 from Pinedale up to the Green River Lakes, is it now paved? I was on it back in the early 70's and it was gravel, just wondering if it's been paved? Think we need a Rocky Mountain Region for ride planning?

    Idaho Roads?

    Not sure if Idaho is in the PNW region, but have a question. We're heading to Yellowstone area in early June, and I was looking to ride west out of West Yellowstone, down 20 to Macks Inn, then cut across to Kilgore on A2 or whatever that road is. Is that road paved? Second question, thinking I...

    Grey Wire on Audiovox?

    Go ahead and bust my ass, but I've done lots of searches, read some good points, but that darn grey wire coming out of the cruise... I read one post that says connect that wire to the blue wire on the left turn signal harness. Question, front signal, back signal, or does it matter? Another...

    Cruise hitting the throttle cable

    Got about everything hook up, but one question related to throttle operation. I have the servo cable hooked to the throttle, but the nut on the tang hits the throttle cable when opened all the way up. No sticking on the throttle, but don't like the nut hitting the cable. It only happens in the...

    Installing the audiovox cruise, built the little canister out of PVC pipe. Attached a mity vac to the barb to make sure it wasn't leaking, but getting a real slow leak. I pressurized the assembly and the leak appears to come out around the threads on the brass fitting going into the PVC. Very...

    Can I import a motorcycle from Canada?

    Not sure this is the right place for this post, so Admins, feel free to move it as necessary. My question relates to the Honda Varadero, which is available in Canada. Could I fly to Canada, buy the bike (new) there and ride it home? What legal issues would I have? Is it legal? Would I be able...

    Never Forget 9-11

    Guys, sitting here listening the thunder as the storms move in, watching the History Channel, story about a man who predicted the 9-11 attacks on the WTC. Let us never forget, and may God bless those we lost in the attack. I will never forget.

    I hate hurricane weather!!!

    Forecast is 100% chance of rain today, 100% tomorrow, and Thursday's not looking good either. And we're not talking showers, we're talking 3-5 inches, as much as 10" in some areas...so you guys get to put up with my postings for a while.... :ph34r:
