We're here with the newly weds

Jeff come come down early and we can go look at that Vfr in Lynwood

You mean mine? I work in Lynnwood and live in Bellevue:

If, by chance, anyone knows someone selling an Aprilia Caponord ETV1000 (2001-2007, including 2003 Rally Raid edition), I'm very interested...

that's a first never seen a vfr with knobbies!

Breaking News!

Bart Madsen from Motorcycle USA will be joining us for the Saturday ride around Twisted Sisters loop. He will be riding a 2014 Interceptor and hinted there may be some chance of a select few trying it .... Swapping bikes on the ride. He said not everyone will be able to and those that do have to sign some legal agreement !

In his article he said . . . "Fire the Interceptor to life and riders are greeted with a familiar V-Four cadence. I can’t vouch for improvements compared to the 2008 model, as I haven’t ridden the latter model . . . "

I can supply him with just such a model year for his comparison (even has ABS and will have some brand new PR2's on it). Does that put me in contention? :smile2:

It may, we will have to let him decide how many get a chance on it. In my opinion you and Jimbob are in the running because you were the first to request a ride on it. I'd like to see Jeff get a ride as he lost his beloved Viffer on an Oregon ride a couple of years ago, I would like a ride on it, so that's four already.

Ya for sure i would like to have a spin as well, if its possible. I'm at a disadvantage i only have 3 cylinders now. miss my v4:(

Is that the same one? surprised it hasn't sold. Your going to make fun of my sissy bike.

After bend on sunday heading home is a question for us.. and looking at maybe this route back to canada.

Thoughts.. and any travel buddies :)

north of bend off 22 quartsville rd passes by peter lake towards sweet home one of the best rds in that area

were you doing this in one day? if so i dont think u will have time to visit spruce goose u need a good 3 hrs to enjoy that museum almost 600 miles and 101 is heavy motor home traffic this time of year.lots of good roads just east of 101. Or I would consider staying east up to cougar to randle do windy ridge its now open and make a loop through mnt rainer better than the Olympic peninsula.

was this little dippy doodle on twisted sister rout planned fs420? whats it lead to

Add me in for a Tshirt doesn't mater what there made of. My fav is the technofiber ones as well, one of my most comfortable riding shirts.

? She has my balls in her purse you know.

Old codgers like you have no use for those anways

If your thinking of going you should book rooms soon, Red lion in Bend is sold out except for the block of rooms Choco held under Vfrd (Anderson)

Looks Great Lee! thanks for planning a ride in that neck of the woods, can never get enough of that area (except for those suicidal deer). Those dates look doable for me.

I may still be on a crumpet instead of a VFR will have to see..

I love that IPA in Baker city

I am looking for a GPS that can be hooked to a computer, ride planned out on computer, then route transferred to GPS. I could care less about a GPS that gets me from point A to point B. I want a GPS that leads me on a cool ride that I have mapped out. Do these GPS's do this? Was at the Dragon last month and a guy on a Harley said he had a zumo and could go on a site where he could program any route he wanted into his zumo. Now that would be a cool GPS. The one that you could program to take you to the middle of nowhere.

YES, this Nuvi 550 allows you to create and upload routes. The software to do this comes with the Nuvi. Well, it doesn't actually come 'in the box', rather you have to go to the Garmin.com site and dig around a bit. Once you find your way around, when you try to download map/software updates, you have to first register your device, and create a user account. It's not really that difficult if you're the slightest bit computer savvy. With the Garmin software MAPSOURCE it is quite simple to create routes and once you're done you upload it to your device. The FULL map database resides on your computer, so everything that your Garmin can see/detect, is available to you when you build your custom route. The custom route is developped by stringing 'waypoints' together to build the overall route. If I remember correctly the Nuvi 550 is capable of 10,000 waypoints. So if route planning is the defining feature in your purchase, make sure the model you buy can store lots.

The Nuvi 550 is essentially the same as the Zumo 550, EXCEPT the Nuvi doesn't have Bluetooth. Somehow +600$ :fing02: for Bluetooth didn't seem worth it...

"take you to the middle of nowhere"...I've been there too many times already, :blush: that's why I bought the dang thing :fing02:

Thanks, this is great info!!!

was saving for a Zumo its just way too much coin right now.

you answered my #1 question about rout planning.

can you see this screen in the direct sunlight? my cheap Magellan is unreadable in sunlight.

also will it track your rout and then allow you to download into your PC so you can save and repeat. i know this feature is available on zumo.

if this one doesn't have blue tooth dose it have head phone jack?

Wow, who dug this thread up again. Isn't it from 05?

Best tire....

no else
