    Avon Storm 2's

    Chev replied to mick's topic in Tires

    Are they harder in the middle, or softer on the edges than the origionals? I loved my previous storms, but moved to PPs for the price cut + added safety.

    Stretched the 85 miles back out to 200 or so. Hell of a weekend. What a great group. :cheerleader:

    It's raining cats and mice 85 miles south of you all. I'm packed up and ready to head out after lunch, but leaving in rain like this will be a battle of willpower. How are the skies up there?

    Holy Cow!!!!!!!!! Let's keep this to a minimum. How is that 7th gen group buy going?

    I just put the saddle bags on for the first time in a long time.......... I forgot how good my bike looks with bags. It's like a Lotus Goldwing. :laughing6-hehe:
  14. Chev
    Ahh, I'm bringing the sissy saddle to this meet. I'm traveling solo and I don't have bags for the 1KR anymore. But, I will have a bottle of XXX to show up with.

    I feel like my Scorpion is as good in the quality department as my Arai. But I feel like Scorpion has raised the bar for cheap helmets. I want to try their model with the tinted flip down visor one of these days.

    Whoo hoo!!!!! I have my roomate! Now I just have to register. If I forget I'll just claim to be registered and stomp my feet till I get a nametag. :fing02: Which bike do I bring? Ohh my. One needs tires, the other needs a new battery. :fing02: Welcome to MBD.

    OK, I am on vacation the week prior for a trip home to see my mom on mom's day. I won't be able to take vacation for this event this year and I'm really nervous if I don't start trying to make this event happen for me, it won't. Anyone want to split a room for a night or two over the weekend? I don't mind playing nomad, but I don't think want to miss this since I'm only 100 miles from Franklin.

    It just rains in AR too much this time of year. Some nice riding up there though.

    Tyre Downs

    Chev replied to kaldek's topic in Tools Equipment

    My my my. Imagine the impact load of a bump transmitting through the bearings, frame, and wheels while riding. It is amazing that these things don't fly apart every time we hit a spot of imperfect pavement. Ever fallen off a dirtbike, only to watch it tumble down the mountain, land upside down, keep running, and sustain only scratches to the plastic?

    I don't think this is beating a dead horse at all. This is a place for consumers to voice their opinions about a product. This is the only thing we have left against a huge Corporation like Garmin that can stiff us with...... "well sir, there is no known issue" We need to know that there are many many others out there that are having the same problems, so we can ask for the manager enough times to get our $700 of use from our throw away GPS.

    I'm curious as to what kinda of problems you had/have with the Zumo. I've had my 550 for a short while, but I love it. I have it hard wired directly to the battery, and I use my Cardo Scala 2 to hear it. It's also synced with my iPhone. Before I ran the wire, the battery life was something like 3-3.5 hours, which is kinda short. But other than that, I don't have any complaints yet. 6 weeks into use, it failed to turn back on. I was on an epic ride and after sitting in a Hardees parking lot waiting for a customer service representative to get around to talking to me, we determined that it was Dead and I needed to send it in........ I was 4 states from home. 18 months later the same thing happened, and Garmin claims that there is no known issue. It is amazing how speedy they are at taking my repair money and turning around my failed unit. Almost like they do it ALL THE TIME. I went to the zumo forums and there is an ongoing argument that these units have a high rate of failure. The mods on that website claim the rate of failure is low, and they push around people that have anything bad to say about the Zumo. Huge waste of money.

    I am glad to see all the great advice on how to use a non-motorcycle GPS on a bike. I wasted my money on a Zumo 550. I am on my third right now. It would take 7 GPS units to equal what I spent on mine. I think the baggy trick would work fine and you would probably get more life out of yours.

    Vinegar!!!! That stuff kills sour smells like you would not believe. I would soak it in a 50/50 solution for a few days and then throw it in the wash with some more vinegar. My girlfriend goes through about 2 gallons of cheap white vinegar each week washing the dishrags she piles up and get to smelling sour. It is amazing stuff........... although I take the stance that prevention is better than a good cheap fix.
