Tonik Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Ez pass tips for the noobs. The reader as you enter is right at the beginning of the lane....on the big overhead sign. So don't follow trucks too close. When you exit they are on the ceiling right by the booth...So slow crawl that part.If you are having trouble start exiting at an attended lane so the can just punch in your number.Any issues we will pull off right and wait.

Tonik Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Down to the last decision, as far as the bike is concerned. Sheepskin or no sheepskin I already have the air Hawk on there.One or the other not both, imnsho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDuty Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am bringing my laptop I have a dumb flip phone and will need to down load the cards from my GoPro and digital camera everyday to make room on them for the next day. The wife wants me to post pictures on face book every night also. The night we are in Sturgis we should all go to this web cam http://rapidcityjournal.com/sturgisrallydaily/webcams/sturgis-street/ at a set time and wave to everyone at O.R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 According to their law, we can carry it concealed as long as we don't get off our bikes...then it must be locked inside the vehicle...so just locking it in a saddle bag would meet the letter of the law. Me, I am unloading in Indiana and putting it in a gun case. Tempted to bring the 460.I always unload gun and lock gun in one bag ammo in the other I don't want to give those commie bastards any excuses. Have a safe trip guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Washing all my riding gear today since I've had it all for 2 years and have never done it. Hope nothing falls apart or it's going to be a expensive trip to the pony today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think you two are going to get wet on the way to Cleveland tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Was noticing that last night. Really don't want to start out Thursday with my gear wet either. Might alter my plan last min and leave from the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Certainly up to you two...but damn would that be a long day for you. We do have a dryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie14 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I figure riding in the rain up to Cleveland tomorrow night will get my suit cleaned. I refuse to let the rain change my plans. (Lightning is a different story). I am going for a ride in the rain tonight to ensure that my rain suit is waterproof. If not, I will go to the Pony and get another one.

I got a power washer if you want to sit in the driveway with your gear on while Tim and I take turns blasting you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you gotta do, watch the radar and adjust...stop for dinner. Even if it is 10 when you get here..you still get some sleep and rest before we leave.

Tonik Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I took off Wed afternoon just now, I'll be home by noon. So if you two want to leave early to beat the rain...if that works...no problem on you getting here early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you two want to leave early to beat the rain...if that works...no problem on you getting here early.Sounds good, only thing i need to wait around for tomorrow is a (maybe) phone call from the dealer as to if my part came in or not. if it comes in i want to have it installed before the trip. Ill prob call them around noonish to see if they expect it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I was updating my garmin and noticed there were map updates that were available, so i down loaded them and after it was uploaded to the GPS it told me the new maps were older than my current version. So i checked the version on my unit and its the 2014.10 maps and the new download is 2015.10 that was just released last month. Any one else ever have this problem updating their garmin.

HeavyDuty Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I just updated my Garmin to the 2015 and had to delete all of the language and picture files so it would fit. I will secure everything to the bike tomorrow morning before I go to work for a few hours that way when I get home I can get a few hours sleep before I leave to meet you guys I will probably hit the recliner tonight and watch Wild Hogs LOL see you all at 4:15am Thursday.

Tonik Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Don't worry about the sleep too much. I am already so wound up I won't sleep much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have just what the doctor ordered: Erosion Control Magazine. It puts me to sleep every time. I am planning on bringing a couple. I sometimes have issues sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
