I installed my Power Commander V a couple months ago on my R1 and it was super easy. I am no mechanic either. The hardest part for me was splicing into the ECU harness. Since there's literally no slack in those wires, it was a PITA and I ended up having to rig up an extension of that wire just to splice into it. Good enough for gub'ment work I guess.
I have an iPhone and I use Magellan Roadmate. I have the Midland BT2 bluetooth installed in my Shoei helmet and if I ever go somewhere that I don't know, the Magellan app is perfect. I can listen to music while getting turn by turn directions via bluetooth.
That was me, about 8 months ago. The absolute toughest decision I've ever made. I know how you feel. Sorry for your loss - there's no words to describe the pain.
I'm stuck at work until then or I would go with you on a ride. I'll just plan on meeting you (Beastie - and anyone else) that wants to be at CC at 7 pm.
Kinda on the same boat with ya. Hell, I can't even believe the rest of the Jackass cast is still alive. They have to realize that even though they do some of the most heinous things, they aren't invincible.
