    The Future of GPS?

    Agreed. I wouldn't want to have stock in Garmin. I get good use out of my 205 in the car..but smartphones are quickly making them redundant. No extra hardware and no ridiculous $$$ for map updates

    Sena SMH-10 Bluetooth Communicator

    I'll put in my 2 cents as well. Me and a buddy (also a FJR Pilot) went in and purchased a pair of these (A definite savings to buy the 2 pack) before a week long trip to WV. Very happy with the battery life..they never died on us and we pretty much kept the intercom line open while...

    I got some new shoes!

    I've had similar results my my new set of PR2. I'm not sure how much to attribute it to new round profile tires..or that I replaced some Storms that had more cupping than a Victoria Secret's Fashion Show

    PR 2 B 3500 miles down to wear bar

    I think road surface is definitely a factor. Hit some rural MO roads that looked like freshly laid 40 grit sandpaper .. Great for traction but my set of Avons went from 60-70% to the wear bars and cupped to heck in about 600 miles. I'm sure some above average throttle manipulation was part of...

    Cheaply Priced Oil...

    The wikipedia article is out of date. The latest (CJ-4) formulation does meet the ash requirement for JASO-MA. from Shell's Rotella site: One negative might be where the engine manufacturer recommends oil meeting JASO requirements. Part of the JASO requirement limits ash content to 1.2%. Oil...

    Alaska Leather sheepskin pad

    Just did a 1200+ weekend. I'm sure it helped..but I was still sore. I have the Alaska small. I had bought it but never used it for my Sporty..I threw it on just for a larf..seems to fit fine front to back and the width covers the top. A medium might be better. Last I checked alaska leather...

    brake/tail light leds

    I've never had luck with LED 'bulb' replacements, and I've tried several The key to LED lights is having a reflector designed for it. For an upgrade, I'd consider using a slightly brighter bulb such as a 2357 versus an 1157. running output is the same, but the brake output is about 25%...

    Bug stains?! Surely, this can’t be.

    LOL @ Joe. A paint cleaner may be helpful. I like Meguiar's Step 1. New paints all seem to be soft, especially Japanese paint.. I think it's the new water based or low VOC paints
