Ok I'm convinced after using my wife's smart phone for (1) navigating (2) finding gas stations on an app and (3) finding rest areas with an app that I need to crawl out of the past with my slide phone with the qwerty keyboard and get a new phone.

I know there are a bunch of different phones I see on TV commercials and to quote Ozzie Osborn, the greatest mumbler since Bob Dylan, "How many bloody G's are there?" I know almost zero about phones

Im currently with Verizon and like their coverage, but don't know if I have to use a phone that comes from them, or if they can get every phone.

Anyhow...looking for recommendations. Currently I make/ receive calls, send and receive texts, take very few pics..that's it, but I want to do more as in the 3 examples listed in the first paragraph.guess it needs to have good battery life and quick charging. Has to be able to use an ear microphone for the GPS app.

What should I look for.

I just sent Mr. T. $1,500.

Way to go, although it's a pity about the bike ...





With thanks to Mashable.

Just wondering if you guys had rode the "Dragons Tail" from Tennessee into North Carolina. I'm told its a fun ride on a bike. Gotta give it a go on the CB maybe this fall.

Pics galore....

Just posting this for anyone interested on price.

Cheapest I have seen so far.

Having never ridden my CB in any truly foul weather I have been curious as to how it might be affected by high wind gusts that sometimes accompany severe thunder storms. Yesterday I learned the answer.

Coming home from running a few errands I encountered a bad storm that had been generated by the day's excessive heat and humidity. Ahead I could see tree limbs being ripped away and pines being bent as though they would break. Dropping to about 45mph I braced for the wind's impact and was surprised at how stable the bike was in these gusts which thankfully didn't last long. Perhaps the lack of a large fairing and bodywork is a factor. I did get blown about a bit of course but the CB felt safe and stable. I love this bike more every time I ride it.

I've been reading through the threads on the PC V and my question is my 14dlx is stock except for a k&n, will I notice an improvement with the pc even though I'm keeping stock exhaust? Also with talk of all these maps, can you map with the pc on the bike or do you map it before installation with your computer?
Thanks gurus!
