It is 60 miles from Wellston, to the gas station

at the river.  Though I could probably have gone

another 20 miles on that tank, I broke my own

rule by not fueling up near the 100 mile point.

 

.

I would really struggle if I had to stop at 100. Ive stretched to 220 miles one time, definitely not a good feeling.

Nice ride! I went down route 2 from Pomeroy/Mason City Saturday and went to Hillbilly Hotdogs. I rode back 217/218, so very nice roads. The only issue I saw was those areas don't have an abundance of gas stations and I was running on fumes (Too arrogant to stop early on a 6+ gallon tank).

Ok, so I had a boatload of custom trips saved in my google drive for my nav program. Several years worth.  Apparently if google introduces a new service, like the recently revised My Maps and thinks they can do a better job with your files...

 

THEY CONVERT YOUR FUCKING FILES INTO THEIR USELESS FUCKING FORMAT.

 

Screamed at support, no way to undo it.  Just cleaned out my Drive and it is all on Box now. I have many backed up on phones and computers, but there was a bunch lost. Open the file and it is in their new My Maps, which blows dead goats. No way to export them and convert them back.

What file extension are they? I thought Google My Maps could be exported to .kml format, which can be converted to .gpx and work for Garmins, TomTom, etc.

JustinNck1, thanks for the info on 144. I have rerouted around it now so we will avoid 144 on this trip.

Word around town is it will be getting a fresh coat of blacktop later this summer. Then it will be a very nice road (Except for it's severe flooding issues).

I have modified the route to shorten it slightly. I took out the stuff east of Marietta since that is where we will be going in July. The route is down to 242 miles and will take us down to Logan, over to Glouster for gas stop then down to 50. From 50 we will take 555 all the way up to 37 then back toward the Pony.

144 out of Coolville is extremely rough, I live about 1/4 mile away from it and I would not ride my bike on it. I would highly recommend staying on 50 for a few more miles and taking 329 from the Marathon gas station.

I think it counts as your parking. If you go to buy your parking space, this is the info it says for Lot 2.

Try Pinwall. I know several peeps that have gotten motors from them and been very happy.

+1 pinwall are some great people to deal with. Highly recommend.

All Ducati seats are terrible. Just plan on replacing with a Corbin/Sargent. That said, I kind of have the itch for a Hyperstrada. The Finance Committee pretty much gave me the green light to update my Ducati stable. I may have to take one for a spin...

 They had a Hyperstrada on the floor Sunday.

Yeah we went to Iron Pony Sunday and saw the red one. My buddy didn't want red or black.

I just got my Rev'it Airwave. It flows a ton of air and is super comfy.

Yea, get the other one on, I bet you have to manually richen at least the low end....Then get it to Brian.

How the heck did he get all that work fine by a shop I assume and not have it running right.

He did all the work himself, just ordered a 95 inch kit, heads, cam, cam plate, & oil pump. This harleys are actually pretty simple to work on 

You said when you send the map it won't idle.  Does it not idle if you disconnect the PC and run stock?

From what I am told, no. The bike has a big bore kit, heads, agressive cam, open exhaust, and open air cleaner. I do not have the bike in my garage, I just offered to install some tunes for the guy. Go thing is he has a second power commander that is not an EX model, but I have to go to his place with the laptop (Older non-usb PCIII). IMO, I would have taken the bike to get dyno tuned with the amount of changes made. It's hard to find tunes with this many variables.

So edit that section of the map to be zero?

No, they said in that rpm range that is grayed out, it uses the stock ecm tune.

So I talked to Power Commander, and since this is an EX model power commander, which is California legal, you cannot adjust anything in that rpm range.

What bike?  They show that same greyed out map for several models when the motorcycle is still running an O2 sensor.  It can't mess with the low end fuel map due to emissions restrictions and the fact that it will always be fighting the O2 sensor output to the stock ECU.  If you have already performed an O2 sensor delete on your bike you should be able to get a "race" map that gives control from zero throttle all the way up.

99-01 Harley Touring. All the tunes on Power Commander's website have values for the greyed out region, but it changes them when sent.

Looks like a PCIII to PCV map conflict?

The map is for PCIII, so I am not 100% sure. I am gonna call Power Commander in the morning, I have read of some others saying it may be a defective PC.

I know my old F4i would not start or run if the battery was low.

Ok guys, I think I am stumped on this Power Commander. I have uploaded and downloaded many tunes with several different power commanders, but this one is throwing me a curve. First of all, this is a Power Commander 3 USB. I downloaded the correct map from their website, and when I went to send the map, I am prompted with an error messages stating my throttle columns do not match the columns on the PC and it wants to know if I want it to adjust the columns. If I hit no, the map does not send. If I hit yes, the map is sent be modified alot and it grays out the fuel at lower rpms. This is causing the bike not to idle. Below are some screen captures of what I am trying to explain. If any can explain what is causing this, or how I can fix it, I would greatly appreciate it.

BEFORE SEND

AFTER SEND

We ended up finding this one at Xtreme of Cambridge. Super nice guys, but they forgot to put the temp tag on....So it's in the mail.

Lol I think this is a bike that is more than a one or two season bike. It feels like it has the power to cruise at speed with no problem. I only took it to 40mph but it seems geared high.

Hey guys, a buddy of mine just bought his first motorcycle, a 2015 Yamaha R3. We were in a parking lot by his house to get some practice (He has his MSF course scheduled) and i took it for a quick spin. Wow, I was surprised by how nice the bike rode and it had good power. I know it was difficult to even find one, so he better take care of it. Here's a pic of the little machine.

Here is a little video I threw together of showing off the road quality of 555 below 550, and 676 from 555 to 339. Video was shot with a Hero 3+ Silver and the music was mixed by a friend of mine.

My Held gloves got a small tear in them. 2 year hassle free warranty and their getting fixed right now.

I remember when I first looked for my first bike. I was ready to buy a brand new supersport. I called my insurance company and they wanted some ungodly amount of money. They said a rider under the age of 24 on a supersport has a 70% chance of totaling the bike in the first 6 months. Also i see people who own cruisers with with 1200 miles after 6 years of "Riding", so there's alot less chance of crashing if it's in the garage. It's as broad as it is long. Bikes crash, we just have to prepare/protect ourselves for the worst.

Anything that makes the bike/rider stick out more helps, but your never going to be 100% safe. I was in a bright orange lowered truck with HIDS and a car still turned in front of me and totaled the truck. Lady said she didn't see me. People must first look before they can see.
