Not sure if I told this story, but when in Kingston I went to the H-D / Honda shop to look for a handlebar mount for a GPS. The young lady I got to deal with was all of and must have been a relative of one of the higher ups. If you wanted anything for a Honda it had to be ordered. For the H-D's they had some in stock, but all H-D GPS mounts are in the fairings, because they are all model specific. ever figured that out so let it go and bought it else were.

- September 20, 2013, 21:51:12 PMdid that, turned it off and on and then looked for the voice thingy and tried to figure out what English was in Russian but then it would not go to the list of languages. Turned it off for about 3 hours and after some sleep tried again. Used the H-D web site to fix it and followed their instructions even.

So his first stop will be to a Harley shop and get the thing to understand English......lol........

- September 18, 2013, 19:35:42 PMBuddy of mine left Calgary AB to travel to New Brunswick and is stopping along the way to visit all his friends and family. So he calls lets me know he is in Thunder Bay (1200 kms away) going to drive none stop till he is here, ok cool. He wants my home address so he can load it to his GPS once he is closer. Calls me 45 mins out, seems he is having issues with his brand new GPS so can I drive out to the highway and met him.......ok cool....
Fantastic visit have not seen him since 1990 when we were in Germany together for a tour. So asked him what was the issue with his GPS. Now this is priceless........
Brand new Garmin (Harley Davidson) GPS made for that bike ....he hit a bump and all the written stuff became Cyrillic........lol.......and he can not read Russian, nor can he spell my street name in Russian, and it would not let him type in English........I tried everything I could think of to get it right but had to give up.
So his first stop will be to a Harley shop and get the thing to understand English......lol........
