  1. Seat Upgrade Or Luggage 5 Feb 2013 20:53 I seem to remember some past seat discussions re Sargent vs. Corbin. Trend was that larger, heavier butts matched Corbin better and lighter butts favored Sargent. My butt is quite happy on my Corbin. I understand the…
  2. Seat Upgrade Or Luggage 4 Feb 2013 21:40 You may want to think about larger bags. On trips, I keep the top case relatively free, so that it will swallow one or two helmets and gloves at stops. I have a 45 liter Givi top case. I can fill my 36 liter side cases…
  3. Why I hate Arizona 6 Aug 2012 20:15 Many automotive sites recommend an oil change, when high hydrocarbons are a problem.

  5. How long do you stay in the saddle? 12 Apr 2012 20:42 Did a 5 1/2 hour ride recently after installing a Corbin saddle. Butt was plenty happy. Shoulders and back could feel it, but not too bad. Have done similar rides on the stock seat. Prefer the Corbin. Breaks, stretching…
  6. Tales of SPOT 29 Feb 2012 18:33 Received mine last night and, yes, it does come with an armband. Also received the RAM Mount SPOT handlebar mount from amazon. Plan to mount it on my KTM's bars for my solo desert rides. I'm operating under the…
  7. Tales of SPOT 28 Feb 2012 19:05 New SPOT 2 price for silver version @ Best Buy is $59.99. Normal price is $149.99. Just bought one for $79.99 through BB and they've dropped it again. (Will be requesting a price match.) Keep in mind that SPOT requires…
  8. Tales of SPOT 21 Feb 2012 20:53 Here's another idea from a SPOT 2 review -- the reviewer uses a Pelican 1010 Micro Case. B&H Photo has them under $10. Waterproof and Pelican case tough. Maybe less likely to self destruct in a get-off.
  9. Tales of SPOT 21 Feb 2012 19:52 I've been wrestling a bit with this, redrider. I read on some forum, where a (street) rider lost his SPOT from the supplied armband somewhere along the side of the road. Thought a handlebar RAM mount would be best for…
  10. Tales of SPOT 21 Feb 2012 18:27 Bargain Alert!!! Best Buy has the silver version of the SPOT 2 Satellite GPS Messenger for $79.99 (about $70 off the going price). Far as I can discern, the unit is identical to the orange one, except for the color. (I…
  11. Switched Power for RD/Radar Screamer 5 Feb 2012 17:24 Have a Radar Screamer on order and plan to install with my Escort 8500 X50. What is the best place to tap into switched power on a 5th Gen VFR? TIA. Bill
