So-Cal Super "Stroker" Sunday - August 24th, 2008

(Photo by Slevin from the TotalRuckus.com forum)

Tony, Toby, Adam, and I rode with the guys from the TotalRuckus.com forums to the Super Stroker Extravaganza in Van Nuys this weekend. At one point were riding with 37 other people from all over Orange and Los Angeles Counties. It was awesome. Here are some links to photos and routes.

Additions: Handle Bar GPS Mounting Kit

I just bought and installed a RAM brand GPS handlebar mount that I ordered from MountGuys.com. The kit cost $22.83 shipped and arrived in about a week.

Pros:

• Easy installation. (4 Phillips head screws)
• Perfect fit for my Garmin Nuvi 360
• Easy to snap in and remove GPS from mount
  

Cons:

• The circular part of the mount that goes over the handlebar is a little big for the Honda Met. It's probably made for a full size motorcycle. I had to run the wire bundle for the turn signal, brights, etc. through the mount so it would stay in place.
• The mount sticks up a little higher than I thought it would. Slightly distracting.
• Mount is not adjustable without tools. So get it where you want it the first time.

Overall, I would say the GPS mount was worth it. It was cheap, easy to install, and arrived quickly. Now, if only I could hear the GPS while I was on the road. It's not quite loud enough to hear the turn by turn instructions while I'm on the move.
