Well , maybe there will be a KTM 690 Enduro there .    If KTM company shows up ... I might have to wait in line twice !    

...... and again, and again and again .......



But now I am old and all civilized (and I would turn my phone off if I were hiding so as to bushwack you better).

Best one ever was Serenity, "Has anybody seen Oldfeller? Where did he get off to ?"    And the whole time I was sitting about a foot off his license plate in his blind spot directly behind him.

Your Android phone picks up FM, that and some decent ear buds will fix you right up.

I bet your helmet system does the same sort of thing ......

FM is built into all Qualcomm Chipsets, it is a little bitty separate radio function inside the ARM cpu.

If your unit doesn't unlock it by default, try an android app from the play store.

All phones have radio reception capability (they call it the other half of cell phone service).

No data usage is required.

Dave , I can picture you inside that ball with that Orange/Checkered bike and matching helmet doing circles about halfway wound-out in 1st gear and just grinning ear-to-ear !!!  

Maybe , you should go with us ???



 

OK, it is over 65 degrees warm today, so today I go gas the bike up and begin to pack it, taking this activity intentionally very slowly with the intent to not leave a bunch of expensive stuff stored in the tent when we are gone.

If we charge our electronic stuff off of our bikes and carry our electronics with us on our bodies, the most expensive stuff left in camp will be a camp chair, an axe and air bed/sleeping bag (and the tent, of course).

Also, our bikes should not carry a bunch of stuff either, as robbing your saddlebags is all a part of the local charm of Bike Week.   (biker looking guy opens a saddle bag, goes into it, pulls something out all while chatting with his beer toting buddy --- problem is that it ain't you and the other guy ain't yer buddy either (he is a cop spotter/lookout)

Not much room for more than one change of clothes, so we will have to visit a laundromat occasionally during the week (or else rig a clothesline off of some nearby trees and wash some of our stuff in the bathroom sink).

Mike, does one of your bags lock?

Hit the Jacksonville level Thursday March 8th, drop down to Daytona area on Friday March 9th for opening day events and the ride a bike on the speedway dealie-bops.   Likely to hang over one night at Daytona as Mike is gonna whimper kinda hard if he doesn't get to see event XX and event YY which are both scheduled for Saturday.  And lets not forget event ZZ which runs all day Sunday ......

If Mike can get somebody else to stay with him at his Daytona campground, he might stay a day or so later at Daytona and I might just drift on down to Depuis just to get away from all the noisy Hurley Burley mess.   Ed L lives near Daytona, so he might be Mike's salvation on hanging out in Daytona for a bit thing.  Mike needs to get up with Ed and get whatever thoughts they have together all jelled together tight.

BadWolf, I have PM'd you to get your cell phone number and address so we can meet up near where you are whenever the time comes.    Mike can find me anywhere we go as he's got my dot on this Life360 app.   And now so do you -- Ed L likewise.   Remember to get the app on your phone and use the code before the 3 days expire, elsewise ask me for a new code (they are easy enough to do).  

Once you are in group you don't have to mess with codes any further and you remain in group until you chose to leave (or you dump the app, that works too).

I think we are gonna like that Life360 app as it makes so many things easy that we flat couldn't do before.

Example:   we never figured out how to join up on the move before, ever.    Now, a joiner person could sit in a burger joint on the interstate, watch the dots approach and be waiting for them on an on ramp and nobody would even have to stop.    Magic.

MM,

I don't see anything I want to go back to Daytona over, really.   KTM is not doing the bike trial thing and I am not into bike shopping right now anyway.

I was offering you a way to break off and go play with Ed L. if that is what you two decided to do, but to be blunt he doesn't seem to be responding for much at the moment.

There are gun shops in Daytona, a bunch of them.    I can kill some time if need be.    Bet those are some more crowded gun shops though ......
