    Well its like this.
    I didn't have no sound to listen to the lady talk.
    And I couldn't squint small enough to see what the name of the road was.
    I screamed back to the old lady to read it to me.
    She said I got my far away glasses on. I can't read it.
    Now I got sound in my new helmet with bluetooth and a cord somewhere that I can plug into my HD stereo.:rant:

    Mac the Wife has used a GPS in the truck when going a long way. Works good, too. I was skeptical at first, and had a moment the first time I heard the damned thing talk!

    Well, our little trip into Greenville is still on for Saturday. Should be about a hundred mile day. I'm not sure what "the brotherhood" is - I hope it's not a gathering of skinhead racists. Tattoo has gotten 5 other riders to go with us for a total of 7 so far. He says all the bikes in our group are old kick starts. No way I'll get lost that day!:cool:

    I got a Zumo 550 and want the 660.
    It is a great GPS and does a real good job. Have both the motorcyle mount and a mount for the truck.
    Its worth its weight in gold.

    You guys talk like being in your 60's is old. I ride with a 75 young guy with PGR and he can ride circles around me and I'm just 64. He almost ticks me off he's so spry. Absolute great guy though. All the PGR guys are for that matter. Sorry to bust in here like that. Gotta start somewhere.

    Welcome HogCowboy. I'm not saying I feel old cuz I'm 66. I feel old when I still hurt after resting for several hours. Can't bounce back like I used to, but I can still ride across the country with only a moments notice.

    I got a phenumonia shot. And I worked and rode in the rain.
    That is when I got walkin pheumonia and got real sick for at least a month to try to even git rid of it.
    Never been that sick.
    There is a difference in Pneumonia and walkin pneumonia too.
    I could hardly breathe.

    There ya go, you got the pneumonia shot, several buddies got that shot last season and then got the freaking pneunomia! I kid you not bro!!! Two years ago the same thing happened to two buddies. These are very healthy, outdoor types that ride, hunt, fish and NEVER had that sickness never had the flu BUT their docs thought now that they are over 50, along with the flu shot they get the pneunomia shot. Wham, they got sick as a dog.

    I'm not even that fond of the flu shot but I would get that darn crud every year and it would ALWAYS nearly kill me. But I've drawn the line at a pneumonia shot.

    Yep that damn pneumonia shot has become nearly history here on Long Island, too many paople got sick from it over the past several years. Even my doc said NO to getting it.
