Broke down & got it - Garmin GPS
« on: February 04, 2006, 06:39:48 PM »

Well, after holding out for several years I finally succumbed and got the new Garmin 2720.  Got it mounted today - PITA getting the outer fairing off to wire it up.  But all together and now the learning curve begins.  I do like technology and am sure I'll like this unit after I get the hang of it.  'Til then I'll probably be a bit cranky.  Tell me it'll be OK.  LOL.   [smiley=banana.gif]

Hey Ultra,
I got a Garmin 2610 a little while ago - took a little getting used to at first - but now I love it [smiley=iloveyou.gif]

Stick with it - "It'll be OK"

Must be nice to know where you are at and where you are going.  Me, I just hop on and head out, it usually ends up being a longer ride than planned, but I find some great roads and there's always a fellow rider or road stop along the way to point me back towards home, that and I carry a map in my tool pouch ;)

 ;)I to have the Harley Gps system installed on my 2006 FLHTCSE SCREAMIN EAGLE ULTRA CLASSIC. I also had it installed on On my 1991 Electra Glide. The only had part about putting on the 2006 was cutting the padded dash but my dealer did a great job. I like better then the nag. system thur the radio. :) ;)

I installed my Garmin on my bike and cut the inside dash piece myself.
