Just so you know who yer lookin' for...Damn! I was hoping to get you fired up again. OK...............................I'll meet you at Starbucks tonight you worthless bastard!!I won't tell if you don't.
Solution to all your mounting needsNow, I need some pics from ya'll. I want to see how you mounted your GPS units. Especially the custom home made mounts. I may end up havin' a local fabricator friend cobble me somethin' up. Just wanted to see what's available ready made. Bring the pics and what you think of the mount you use.

Pretty sweet BT! Congrats on the new toys
I had that Garmin eTrex, I just recently sold in on ebay. Readings are pretty accurate, I was happy with it, it did everything I wanted (like you, speed, max speed, direction). It has some decent features for the price, I was just spoiled by the one in my car, so I sold it to get a mappy one, but didn't come up with the cash yet
Yeah, I thought it'd be a good "intro to GPS" model. I figure I'll end up with one of the good ones eventually, but for now this will do what I want.Pretty sweet BT! Congrats on the new toys

Got iTunes and I've bought three songs. Now I can't figure out how the hell to export them so I can burn 'em onto the Rio player. Any ideas?
Will do, thanks.
BT, your gona need a file convter. Itunes stores in aac format I think if you get them straight from apple but dont quote me on that, havent looked for my self. I think when you plug in the Rio your comp will see it as another hard drive, if so just export them in mp3 and away you go.
Ill look on my iTunes tonight and let you know for sure.

I agree with Sledhead.
Yeah, the 'puter sees the Rio as a drive, but I can't get my purchased songs to show or open in anything but iTunes and RealPlayer (free version that won't "Save As"). Let me know what you figure out if you don't mind. The tunes that came in the Rio suck ass!
I see why everyone steals music now. Hell, when you pay for it you can't use it like you want to.
I think the Rio software will rip tracks from CD's. May just have to rip my collection and get my favorites that way for now...
Yeah, and I won't do a thing about it when he does!
Hey BT, give this site a looksee dailymp3.com Think you might find some new toys that will getcha what you need
BT, I used the Stem Stand and Garmin Handlebar Mount together to mount my eTrex. All you need to do is drill one hole through the Stem Stand top plate and thats it. Its very solid, in the right place, and its simple to remove the GPS using the Garmin quick release clip. The other advantage is that I can remove the Handlebar Mount and install it on my mountain bike when required.
