    Maps for riding across the country. Suggestions.

    I joined Good Sams Cub (membership only $19/year) back when I had a travel trailer - but the best thing out of Good Sams is a Travel Life Directory listing all camping in the country, rating each campground with address and phone numbers. I travel alone on long trips on my FJR and I like the...

Lauderdale on his beautiful 06 FJR. Rode up and down US 1 and the loop a lot - even went to Iron Horse with all the crazies. I get...

    I have had mine activated since day 1 and yep, I get false signals too.....Not as many as you said you get but I do get them at the oddest times. Not really a bother so I just leave it on.

    2007's Anyone hear anything yet?

    And you haven't heard the latest obviously........ It will have a hybrid motor - runs on battery most of the time powered by solar energy cells. It makes the bike a little heavy (over 1000 lbs.) but rumors are it will get pretty good gas mileage rolling downhill. :P

    Cal Coast riders club ride

    Love it! Being in Florida your riding area looks somewhat different from my riding. Thanks for taking the time to put this together - I am actually considering getting a Goldwing (in addition to my FJR) and it was neat seeing the big yellow machine in action.......still on the fence on this...

    Air Hawk Seat Cushion

    +1 more for Air Hawk - I have mis-aligned hip bones and standard seat all day made my back hurt - the Air-Hawk WITH the proper amount of air relieved the pain I was having - but too much air added seat height and that was not good for my short legs. But when I lowered the amount of air to "just...

    Camping at EOM

    I enjoy motorcycle camping so I will be camping at the EOM this year. The Boone KOA campground still has sites if anyone else looking for a campsite. The good thing about this area is there are a lot of choices for camping. :D

    How many FJR pilots are aircraft pilots??

    Instrumented Rated Private Pilot about 900 hours flying since 1975. Don't fly much anymore - too expensive for me. I have owned Cessna 175 and a Cessna 182 - have flown many rented Piper's.

    GARMIN ZUMO GPS

    I have missed over a months worth of GPS when my Lowrance I500C failed on me and Lowrance repair cannot seem to get their act together, so out of frustration I am dumping the Lowrance and getting ready to get me something better. Anyone know much about the Garmin Zumo unit? It looks promising...

    Riding to EOM from Fl / South Georgia

    I also live in Jacksonville (actually Fruit Cove in St. Johns County). I went to EOM last year and it was fun. This year I may go again and I tent camp along the way and/or will camp up at EOM - I will try to be at Tomba's in August. :) (05 FJR - about 22,000 miles now).

    Newbie to GPS

    Word of Warning - I hate to post this thread but maybe it will save some others a lot of grief - at least that is the intent of the posting - I am not bashing Lowrance, but just stating my circumstance. I have the Lowrance iway 500C GPS unit. A few weeks ago I returned from a 3500 mile trip...

    Givi brake light option, or ... ?

    Over a year ago on the "other old forum" someone had made a custom homemade setup for the GIVI trunk which had both the turn signals and brake lights in the GIVI. It was cool but at the time I didn't have my trunk yet so I let it pass.......now I cannot find the thread nor have I been lucky to...

    I understand you don't want to spend much right now, but I went through about 5 "so called cheap" solutions before I got smart and realized that if I wanted quality then I had to get a quality product, so............................... my 2 cents........ I bought and use with a Sirius Radio...
