    Garmin 665LM no voice prompts

    Working on learning Base Camp in advance of a couple trips and loading custom routes back and forth to work. The last two routes I created, one wasn't giving me turn by turn voice prompts at all. When I looked at the GPS (Garmin 665LM) the prompt to turn was in a pop up window on the screen...

    Learning Base Camp

    Trying to learn Base Camp from the agenda (PC) on New England Riders. I am trying to create my first route that is on page 10 step 6 and running in an issue. I select the route tool, cursor changes to the pencil like it should and I can select the waypoints in the instructions. When I do that...

    July 10th 2016 RTE to BIG Johnson's

    Sorry it took so long to get this going but the family summer schedule just got finalized on my end. During Tech Day at Mike and Laura's we talked about doing an RTE in the Finger Lakes area in July some time. Unfortunately July 10th is the only day I can do this, all the other Sundays are...

    Youth helmet for sale worn less than ten times. Inside still smells new. There is one minor scratch, pictured, from taking it off and nicking a door. $45 plus shipping. As you look at the helmet from the front, the scratch is to the inside of the left vent.

    2016 A adding LEDs to Turn Angle light location

    Since the 2016 A doesn't have the turn angle lights how hard would it be to put some LEDs in that location? Set them up so they are on during the day (a little extra during the day never hurts) and possibly tie them in to go brighter with the highbeam switch. Yes it would be a lot of work...

    NERDs IV 2016 Seafood RTE

    I know it's way early but I already put it out there so might as well keep it going. What I'm thinking about doing since I haven't been to Maine and being relatively close was to make a seafood run to Maine for my ride on Saturday. Before planning a route I'd like to hear some recommendations...

    Issue with Headlights?

    After three and a half seasons one of my low beam headlights went, I noticed it when I got home one day. Then next morning I go out and the low beam on the other is out. Checked high beam and they are fine. The following day I replace both with sylvania ZXEs and that was about three weeks...

    Pittsburgh - Buffalo Lunch Meeting

    Ok here is my first attempt at putting together a little gathering. My thought is finding someplace in the middle of Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Pick your route to the lunch spot we pick, meet up for a couple hours for lunch then head home. A few dates I have in mind are Aug. 15, 16, 23 or 30th...

    Does anyone make a large luggage rack?

    I have been looking for a large luggage rack for my 2012 and haven’t seen anything that will cover what I need. From time to time I have to transport a large box that is 2 feet square and 10 inches high (about 15 lbs.) and I am looking for something that I can securely tie down to. So far I...

    cruise control

    I’d like to add cruise control on my 2012 and I read a post several months ago where someone mentioned how much they like theirs as well as not having any issues with it. I am kicking myself but I didn’t save the link to the post but I do remember some details from the post. When I checked out...

    Sighting in Clifton Springs NY

    Who was riding the 2007 (at a quick glance it looked like black cherry) on Rt 96 just outside Clifton Springs NY on June 18 at about 7:30am? I was ahead of you on the 2012. I wanted to stop to say hi but I was already late for work. I did a double take when I realized they were FJR lamps in...

    New Seat Purchase

    Last summer I took a short trip (250 miles) on the OEM seat to see if my butt and seat could coexist on long trips. Well after about an hour and a half I had my answer, very uncomfortable, and I still had another two and a half hours to go. Since that was my only trip I had planned I wasn’t...

    Avon Azaro AV46-ST

    I got in to a little bit of a jam over the weekend, a long way from home and had to replace the rear tire. The tire is an Avon Azaro AV46-ST, size 180/55ZR17. At the end of last season I knew my tires were going to need replacing this season so late last fall I was able to buy a set of PR2’s...

    Unexpected stop on vacation

    After this weekend I am a bit more of a believer that people have a guardian angel or family member who passed on before us watching out for us. (My Dad loved motorcycles as well.) I was riding my FJR to my niece’s college graduation and had pulled over to stretch for a minute. As I was...

    Sena SMH10 and Aria RX-Q

    Thinking about getting a Sena SMH10 and I have an Aria RX-Q helmet. Wondering if anyone has this setup and if you recommend going with the SMH 10 with the mic wired in or with the universal mic kit? I like the idea of the universal kit to have the mic installed tight to the front of the...
