• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    why I love California

    Yes, Texas is not for everyone. We prefer not be regulated to death, for example we can buy a motorcycle from out of state and not have to worry that the DMV won't let us bring it in because it doesn't meet the state EPA standards. When you consider the whole state of California versus...

    rain gear

    I have had a First Gear suit that has lasted me somewhere around ten years although one of the seams has sprung a leak. Constantly stored on the bike, but about three years of that the bike was not stored in a garage. Perhaps the Florida temperatures contributed to the seam failure. But to be...

    This one will cause some controversy...

    I get that police are under stress from the current situation, however, if I shoot to defend myself from an attacker (legal in my state) and hit an innocent bystander there is no way that I am going to get a pass. The charge might not be attempted murder but there would be jail time involved...

    Broken Mirror Clip on 2010 RT

    When you are looking for parts it is a good idea to do a google search on the part number. I used to use cheapcycleparts but found out that they were usually not the cheapest on the part or the shipping. By doing a search on the mirror clip I got back several results, some fairly close in...

    T-boned yesterday.

    I was just looking at some pictures from 5 years ago on facebook. We were both hit on the same day just five years apart. Bright lights and a loud horn didn't help me, and I miss that bike every day. Best of luck to you in the healing process, and hope that if you do have to replace the bike...

    Clanking Sound

    Some things can be done without removing the engine, but if they have to get to the gears they have to split the cases.

    ZUMO 590 - no music

    That sounds similar to a problem I had on my RT. It wouldn't send anything through the speakers when I first bought it. Salesman told me that it was designed to only play through a BT set-up. Got info from BRP and found that they hadn't plugged the audio cable into the wiring harness. Once...

    DirecTV vs Dish

    We have had Direct and Dish. Our experience with Direct was from 99-03, 2011-2013, and just started back with them. Had Dish from 2014-this month. The last time we had direct was while full-time RVing. Our antenna was not set up to receive HD, so can't comment on that. Didn't have their...

    here is a interesting question for everyone.

    This wasn't started by the Republicans. It was some folks in Ohio wanting their Governor to exceed his powers. I live in Texas and don't recall any problems it caused here. There were those that said blood would run in the streets if it passed. We have had floods since then but they were all...

    Trip planning

    They do support Macs: https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4449 Although the tutorials are mostly for PCs, the functioning of the application should be fairly similar.

    How to Use BaseCamp an Instructional Guide

    I use google maps for quick trips and route comparisons. I like basecamp because I like to maintain a library of ride ideas from magazines like Roadrunner and Ride Texas and I also use it for long term planning. When we did our 48 state trip the planning process was over a three year period...

    Trip planning

    I use Basecamp by Garmin. Some folks curse it, but it has done well by me and there are presentations online that do a good basic tutorial for using it. Not sure if it is Apple friendly, I would assume so but no guarantees.

    Gps sound in speakers

    The connector the tech described is for power, there is also a standard headset connector in there and if your GPS harness is not securely plugged in on that, you won't get sound. Another thing, at least on the 2013, if everything is plugged in and you want to hear just the directions from the...

    Tracking App.

    If you turn the feature on, most Garmins do keep "tracks" which is the routes you drive. IIRC they only keep them for 7 days or so, so if you want to keep a particular route just download it to your PC through Garmin Base Camp.

    Recurring limp home mode

    On EFI systems the ECM determines the optimum settings for starting based on it's various sensors. Operator input is usually not required and can sometimes make the situation more difficult.

    Rte 66

    I have no idea about the length of the route 66 ride or the round trip length. We were doing the lower 48 and that was just about 16K over 71 days. You can see photos from our trip here: https://www.facebook.com/fargasonservices/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel. Route 66 was the second and third legs...
