I wanted to get this installed while it was still above 60 degrees out. Its about to get cold in NY. This is the same controller i installed last year on my G650 GS. I pulled it off the bike before i sold it, but last years installation worked out really well. This years came out better. It was simpler, and quicker then last year, mostly because it almost identical.

Just a quick recap of what i have so far. Everything was chosen based on quality, and pack size. Links and descriptions after the jump.
Read MoreAdded gear, just in time for the denver trip. I just received the Kelty Noah's Tarp, and two 6ft REI Tarp Poles, just in time to test them out during yesterdays overnight in Staten Island. This is key camping gear for the unexpected rain. You can set it up first, and then set up your tent under it. The inside of your tent will stay dry while you put it up. You can also pitch the tarp over your picnic table so you have a place to hang out in the rain as long as your tent is safe under its rainfly.
Read MoreI've been researching more dirt friendly tires for a while. I'm not a dirt rider but when I occasionally get off the road it's really nice to have. Recently my stock rear tire got a screw in it. It was plugged, then the plug failed. Long story short it was plugged three times in the same spot. Time for a new tire. Why not two? Decided on the heidenau K60 tires.
Read MoreI've tried disposable ear plugs before and I could never get used to them. I couldn't get them in right, they kept falling out, they blocked out too much noise. My helmet is very quiet and so it ended up never being a priority. Pair that with my new wind screen from givi and my rides are relatively calm. I've noticed though, that after a 3 hour ride my ears are ringing. We are getting ready to goto Denver, and so I wanted something for my ear protection.
Read MoreBefore the summer I bought an inflating full size air mattress for camping. It just fit inside my tent with no extra room. I bought it mostly to make my wife comfortable coming camping for the first few times. I knew I would need something smaller eventually. I got this great air pad on Amazon. $50 each. Two of them are way smaller then the full size mattress, and I don't need to rely on a motorized pump. Key criteria for our Denver trip. Click on for photos.
Read MoreEvery year I goto an industry show (A/V Home Automation). This year it's in Denver and I'm taking advantage of it. My brother in law harry, who is also my business partner, will be coming. We are going a few days early, renting motorcycles and heading out in to the mountains.

This week I kind of chose my camping site at random via reserve america. That worked out well because the camp site was nice, but the drive was longer then I thought it would be. Besides being 2.5 hours away, which I’m ok with, i also hit 40 minutes of weirdconstruction traffic. Still it was mostly a fun drive.
