Short notice forum ride, tommorrow Friday Dec 30

I take my bike to MotoVation and they suggested to me about putting speakers and a hook up for my XM roadie on the bike -- I was interested in the post about someone having that on their bike. The way it was explained to me was that they could put a headset in my helmet so I could hear it -- I didn't understand how that works -- is it wireless or do you plug them into the unit and have a wire hanging down -- also what about when I wear my half helmet which I bought -- no place for headphone so would I need speakers on the bike and can you even hear speakers on the bike when you are riding?

First, what kind of bike?

You can run it to earphones too. Cycle Gadgets makes the mount for the radio and antenna, but be FOREWARNED.. XM is NOT 12V, it is 6V so you HAVE to run it through a cigarette lighter, OR buy the 6V transformer for it (Cycle Gadgets also sells it) Autocomm sells the box to run it through, though in your case with the Roady2 you can run it straight to earphones withouth the Autocomm. Roady2 has an earphone outlet, and internal volume control. AND it's only $29.

Cyclegadgets.com has all kind of cool mounting hardware.

Autocomm.com to read about the intercom/ music system.

Any other info, let me know, I'll answer the best I can.

I REALLY hope so.. she came out today, and I KNOW she didn't really want to, but she so wanted to see everyone. She's SOOO miserable right now, and I'm trying to do my part to make her feel better.. I told her she could leave the dishes in the sink until tomorrow, and I have Monday off, so the laundry could wait until tomorrow or Sunday, and so she wouldn't have to spend so much time on her feet, I told her I could go without starch on my shirts this week..

I'm such a hopeless romantic...

We do motorcycle tech days at the house.. any project you may be thinking of, someone here has probably already done. We do anything from electronicals, to tune ups, oil changes.. tire changes.. you name it.. It's mostly Beamers, but we are a friendly bunch and will welcome anyone. And you'll probably be able to sneak in a ride on someone else's bike.. last time it was a 1200GS everyone was taking for a ride.
A few female riders show up to wrench on their own bikes.. FUN time had by all!

We have one rider that has a laptop on his triple tree.. and has fashioned LED"s to replace what he can't see on his dash anymore.. low fuel light, gear indicator.. brake failure light etc..

Others have homemade brake light LED's GPS galore...

Beamers are famous for their FARKLE!!
