Seems like it could be a viable alternative to the eu2000i. Those little Honda genis are amazing but they are like $1k. May look into it further. When I am at the track with my brother and we bring the hauler we have a Honda 7000 so power is a non issue lol, but hauling that big sucker around is not practical unless you are bringing the whole kit

I have a little portable craftsman generator like that, tiny four stroke.
I got it out of the garbage and put a carb on it with an old piece of radiator hose. Runs nice. Needs a capacitor to make it generate again. But free works. I save it for a shareable Genny. lol Dont like to loan out the Kubota that my family has. I think I want to watchout for a Ryobi like that for camping and what not.

I get cold quick as you can attest to me bitching about my hands during our ride together. They were so cold, it was hard to kind of focus a little, which isn't good. I need to get some waterproof gloves next, to match the liner and I'll be set. I plan on getting the Powerlet jacket liner too, at some point. My core didn't do too bad with the gear I had, but a little extra warmth would have made it a wee bit more comfortable. I'm the one that usually wears 5 layers of clothing during our "winter" or a sweater in our air conditioned office. |

I bought the new Sena 20S, despite the mixed reviews about it.
http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/s...etooth-headset Honestly I think the sound is really good for what it is. With or without earplugs. The radio actually works better than I thought it would. Call quality is pretty good too, people can't tell I'm on a motorcycle. And the ambient mode is a subtle but helpful feature. It uses an external mic to amplify the noise outside your helmet. The difference is not drastic at all (only becomes noticeable when volume is at 100%), but it's enough to understand people in the drive-thru better. As far as intercom goes, I haven't tried it yet. I don't have people to ride with that own headsets. Overall, there were a few hiccups with it but I can't say I wasted my money, yet. haha. But it definitely made riding more enjoyable for me. Other people really really love riding. But I find riding, in silence, with no destination.. *insanely* boring. But now that I can use music to entertain myself more, I may take more frequent joy rides.

Man, I wish there was a Cycle Gear closer than an hour and a half drive. Of course, if I drive all the way there I get to go to the Motorcycle Superstore outlet, too...
Might have to make a drive this weekend, I need some cold weather overpants!

@Jason5885, if you don't mind sharing.. What is your chest size and what is the size of your jacket? I'm researching for a leather jacket for next year, and real life people offer better information than internet reviews.

Thats a lotta green for me lol You picked up some nice gear. How do you like those A* pants? I am waiting to get a pair of riding pants. Right now I have Icon denim.

They're the Alpinestars Bregenz pants.. waterproof, very warm. They're much thicker than jeans, but they have a removable liner! I had jeans on underneath them in those pictures, and they still felt very light with no loss of mobility. Can't report on their long distance comfort, but for the light usage so far, all is well. Definitely will get some riding jeans/leather pants for next summer.

@Jason5885, textiles are almost always cheaper than leathers.. Typically, they are less abrasion resistant, but offer the same impact protection plus WAY more weather protection. That jacket/pant will take me through any cold and wet my trips from TN to WI has to offer!
These particular guys: $150(~94 BP Sterling) A* Gunner WP Jacket $170(~107 BP Sterling) A* Bregenz Pants

Nice Jason!
I picked up a windscreen for my 08 r6 and a set of plugs for my 06 r6. I got the windscreen for free from another rider that just wanted nothing more than to help someone.

I hit refresh like 10 times...
I quoted the post to make sure... But still, your post seems to be missing the pic of the bike that goes along with all this dirt gear.
