Hard to believe this was once a black SE Road King......



It's true what they say about the power of the dark side.

SPEW

some feedback on it:
- it works best with a full face...  to use with an open helmet requires some dorky earcups...havent hard mounted it as i dont use the full face all the time....
- 1 bummer..  when you hook up the intercom, bike to bike, phone  and Ipod ..you are wired up like crazy...  i havent figured out a clean solution yet....  at the moment i use a side pouch on the Kuryakyn bag ...  it works but it aint pretty...

Right now without wireless I know what you mean Scot, my wife says I look pretty dorky on the bike with the umbilical cord and mike.  I guess it's the price we pay for the communication.

There is the J&M half helmet with the zip in earpieces and mike that was posted elsewhere for a quick change on a half helmet.

See dork (me) below on the CC ride.

Don't you remember Canuck and Sue givin' me nutin' but chit with all my clothing.  I was pretty much prepared for anything and everything on that trip.  Three leather jackets, chaps, I don't recall how many T-Shirts, pressed SE Shirt, three kinds of gloves, three pairs of shoes.................christ I can't remember it all, oh and I had a cowboy hat too

With Cindy going to Nelson it will be a big change in packing strategy.  I never needed to do any laundry though.

i pack just like you do ....  just never know how much chit you need....  and i HATE laundromats

I guess.....  Of course I didn't have as long a trip to get there as you did.  I was only about an 850-ish mile one day ride home.  But I still had long sleeves and short sleeves and electrics and long johns and camera and chargers and 32,654 CVO gathering pins and god knows what else.  Tour pak was full though.  Still felt guilty packing so much space full for such a short trip.  Roger, you pack like a girl.

Screw laundromats.  Jeans can last a long time.  Tshirts and underwear and socks are CHEAP at Wal Mart.  On-the-road resupply for extended trips doesn't cost that much more than plugging coins in to a laundry anymore.  And you don't have to wait all the time it takes for the machines to eat your clothes.

I'm not even sure exactly when; but I pretty much stopped doing the dealership t-shirt thing.  The pile had just gotten so large, and the damn things are so stupidly expensive, and I always end up wearing the ones from the top of the pile anyway; that I kicked the habit.  There was withdrawal.  Tried the whole methodotshirt rehab 12 step thing.  But eventually cold turkey worked best.  Recovery being what it is though I will of course occasionally relapse if I see something very very cool.  But old ones are wearing out now faster than new ones are being accumulated.  They're going to have to wear out for a long time, however, to make a significant dent in the pile.

You know you have to many when you find some still w/tags on them, and you don't remember how long ago you got them. I no longer buy dealer t-shirts either. Try to only by event t-shirts for new events I attend. The ones I attend on a regular/yearly basis I no longer by shirts unless it's something spectacular.

 
Ride Safe,
