    Moto communicator

    I got fed up with my ear buds always backing out during a ride so I got a Cardo Freecom 4+ that comes with JBL speakers. Now I can ride with ear plugs and still listen to music. I'm very happy with this setup and believe the sound quality is quite good, but to be fair this is the only com unit I...

    Best 2up/Touring Motorcycles?

    An older VFR800 would fit that price range. I love my 1998, it's plenty comfortable and yet still sporty. Had a great time riding the tail of the dragon and then rode all the way home, 1,250 km. You can outfit it with hard luggage and you will love the music the V4 engine makes. Passenger should...

    Budds BMW Mottorad Demo Day - May 26th

    That doesn't sound at all like the pleasant experience I had there last year. The route we took was quite interesting and fun, once we got out of the city. I was lucky enough to be right behind the leader, so I didn't get to witness the antics going on behind. If you think about it, demo rides...

    Quit our jobs, sold our home and everything in it, gone riding...

    It always feels a little like Christmas morning when I open this thread and see there are updates from you guys. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us! When wheel speed doesn't follow engine rpm, the clutch plates have likely reached the end of their useful life. Unless that BMW...

    Intercom for 2up riding

    So are you in constant communication with the other person? Or can it respond to voice commands so that I (we) can listen to music until we want to chat? Also, does the latest ipod touch support this?

    Thanks for all your thoughts. Joe was laid to rest today, he was a very popular, outgoing guy and has lots of people that will miss him. RIP Joe.

    On-coming car in your lane, what do you do?

    I like the idea of staying right as you crest hills. That will also make the decision for the motorist easy to swerve back where they came from, instead of the shoulder.

    On-coming car in your lane, what do you do?

    In rider training we learn that in a lot cases if the rider had been more defensive the collision could have been avoided. As riders we need to foresee the unforeseen, assume that we have not been seen and always, always, always, take into account the stupidity of others. Some situations are...

    Vid I just made for fun..

    Great job on that video! I can appreciate all the work that went into it, the time it takes to review all the footage and stitch it together is mind boggling. I tried to summarize a week long tour though Italy into one hour and it took about 3 months by the time all the music was added. Having a...
