Motorcycke Riders...curious who else rides>>>

I'm riding a 1969 Honda CB 350, Candy Red and White. about 11k-12k miles. No NAV for it, but it isn't quite made for long trips

I see you are from PA as well, do you go to Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown?

I've been to Johnstown...had to ride out to Scooters and get a t-shirt :)

I started a new meetup club in Maryland called BC Riders we will taking rides in PA and MD and a gps file will be avail for the ride...

I have a 1982 Virago XV750 & a 1992 Wing & the riding season is here!

Fred

i ride a 09 K1300GT and 2000 R1100RT. I have a ZUMO on the 1300.

a 2003 Harley Ultra Classic. 50K miles on it including a trip over the Alaska Highway and a trip over the Top of the World through Canada (two up in the rain). Use my Garmin 260 in a pouch bag that sits on top of the tank. Wife has a 2005 Yamaha 650 Silverado.

I've got an 02 Ultra Classic, wife a 78 BMW R100.
If you went up the Alcan in 05 we might have crossed paths! Wife & I rode from Maryland to Fairbanks to see our daughter at UAF.

Just got a nuvi 295W, but will probably stick it someplace on the fairing.

.. Ahh.. spring.

Just got rid of my 08 Aero and now have an 09 Harley Road King. Have a garmin 1490LMT, but looking for some type of waterproof case for it.

Suzuki DL1000 Zumo 660
Beta RS450 78S
Suzuki DR400S 76CSX

I work on Main Street in Johnstown, so I'll be there for Thunder regardless

1966 Triumph Bonneville. No GPS.

'05 Harley Road King
Zumo 665 w/XM and weather radar.

I've been retired since '03 and ride about 15K mi a year.

I'm a "wonder where that road goes" rider. Having a GPS aboard sure helps finding home, after getting "lost".

I ride a 2001 Kawasaki ZX6R.
GPS is a Garmin 765t.

I made a Stainless Steel plate to mount on the front fairing stay. This allows me to use the suction cup mount.

Ride safe, brothers and sisters.

Retired on a 06' Harley Electra Glide Classic with a Garmin 755T and RAM mount. Doing RT 66 in next couple weeks.

Blue/ silver, and 'tweaked'.

500 lbs wet curb weight, 125 HP. Corbin saddle, SS brake lines, PS springs up front with custom pre-loaders, 37mm Keihins from a 1000 (re-jetted, natch) with individual K&N's, Jardine pipes, and a few other tricks.

Live in Western PA. Usually take 2 or 3 good trips every year. Not as good as doing the ALCAN or anything like that, maybe one day.

This will be my first season with the zumo on the bars.

I have a black BMW K1200S, rear sets, all kinds of sportbike dodads + a zumo 550 this thing is a big bad Rhino .....In my spare time I ride a black Ducati 1098S complete ohilns suspension setup by Jordan Rhodes of AMS Dallas, 48T EVR slipper clutch and a ton of goodies 2 boot.

I ride a Harley 09 Ultra Classic Electra Glide, 18,000 miles. Have had a Garmin Zumo 550 for years and just bought a Garmin Zumo 665. Started riding at 69 and have logged about 40,000 miles in 4 1/2 years. Plan to go to Yellowstone and Grand Canyon this summer.

07 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad. No GPS mount, yet.

Current ride is a vintage 1969 Norton Commando. I don't use GPS on it.

2010 Kawasaki Versys 650, very fun bike. Have taken the Nuvi 760 along, but no mount for it. Won't work with gloves, and Zumo's are expensive!

Followed the Rockies north last summer and then over the Cassier to Alaska. Lots of off-roading. Ram-mount with the waterproof box, Zumo would be nicer.

Also, the jewel, A Triumph Bonneville Queen's Silver Jubilee. (a real one)

And a string of others all now gone.

My current ride is a 900 Vulcan. I don't have a Garmin mount, don't think I want one as I think it would be distracting, but I always have it in my pack if I need it.

I have a DRZ400 Supermoto. I love to ride mostly with the way gas is going its cheaper. I can ride my bike to work and home for 3 days for what it takes to take my truck to work and home again in 1 day! ugggh.

Try to work in Bryce Canyon if you can. Make sure you're there for a sunset.

That's the only other thing (not counting more time) that I wished I had in Yukon & Alaska- a 650GS. Notice I said other, as in addition to. I saw a picture of a Harley towing a boat once..I wonder..

NEVER sell a motorcycle unless it's life or death.! And then, think about it real hard first.

VFR 750!!!

'98 Ultra Classic. 120K miles. It's had a Sreetpilot, Streetpilot3 and Streetpilot 2610

My car gets better mileage than my motorcycle, but the bike is much more fun to drive! I finally got a new gas cap (not easy to find), so once the weather gets better I'm hitting the roads!

I ride an 09 K1300GT with 34000.k on it and it has a ZUMO. I also have a 2000 R1100RT with 95000 k on it but no navigation.

I was told the same about my string of English convertible sports-cars.

I ride a 2008 Street Glide.

we are planning a ride out US 30 (Old Lincioln Highway) and back on US 50 this August

Honda ST1300 and Husky TE610. I have Zumo mounting brakets mounted on both and transfer a Zumo 550 to which ever one I'm riding.

I ride an 03 Kawasaki Concours. Mounted a Garmin 2730 street pilot.

Excellent for finding gas stations, lodging, restaurants and finding my way back home

GARMIN 450, LIVE NEAR DC, USED IT TO COLORADO SPRINGS AND BACK, WAS A RESCUER ON 9/11 AND WILL BE IN THE IAFF RIDE ON 9/11/11 THIS YEAR.

In 2005 we also may have crossed paths. I was doing an IBA UCC on my 02 V-Strom. In 2003 I did the Alaska R/T on my 02 Ultra from Chicagoland.

In 02 I had no GPS, 05 an E-Map and now a Garmin 2720.

Edit: That's the Dalton Hwy. bridge over the Yukon river in my pic.

I take one with me on long trips, mostly just for that.

In my jacket pocket with earphones.

Would never put it on the bars because of the distraction factor and I think it isn't really compatible with a riding "experience".

(And any perfect riders can spare me the comment that it doesn't distract you while riding. People who text and drive think that too.)

There are only two kinds of motorcycle riders. Those who have gone down and those that will.

Regrettably you the motorcycle rider have very little to do with when this event occurs.

I don't find it anymore distracting than the speedo or tach. A quick glance says it all. Just like when I'm in my truck...

I am riding Ducati Multistrada 1200 in SF !

This is the week of Thunder in the Valley if you're able to make it out! My throttle cable snapped yesterday, bike back in the shop. We'll see if I'll be riding or walking to Thunder...

I carry a spare in my storage in the tail section. Cables snap in the middle of nowhere. A 5 minute job to change it.

I'm the only one who has ever wrenched my ride. Been that way from my first scoot...

I have a 1986 Yamaha 750 Maxim X,not much for touring.

I don't know enough to change it out, and I want it done the right way. I see that the cable splits in two pieces, not sure how to adjust it properly. Could learn by practice, but I'd be a bit concerned that I may break something else in the process.

Just learn, friend. A 350 cable is not hard to do. It's just minor stuff, and can save you an expensive 'tow', and fix.

Get a shop manual, and enjoy another aspect of ownership!

BTW, a Honda 350 Four was my first love. *sniff*

Yeah, I know I should do it myself, but for some reason or another I don't. I have no issues with working on my Jetta TDI (removed the front end already) and plan on doing some more to it soon, but haven't touched the motorcycle. I guess it is a mental block with the bike being 40+ years old, the parts will be hard to find? Car is only 2 years, plenty of parts available.

If the dealer has the part, it ain't hard to find. Look for 'Pick and Save's' as well.

I did not know Pick & Save's have motorcycle related parts.

I guess it helps if one lives/travels in Wisconsin.

Thanks!

Ron

So do I!
