my tankbag. that thing has been with me for years and has seen more miles than anything else. never used GPS on the bike and probably never will since i don't get lost.

my next fav gadget would be my homemade ID holder. mounts to the 2 bolts for the tank and holds my military ID. makes it nice n quick to go on base. I've made one for every bike except the current one since it only has 1 bolt hole for the tank, so i'm gonna have to do more thinking on that project to make it work.

i have heated gear, but only used it twice.

After thinking of all the farkles I've had I'd say the Sena too.

I'm assuming the next sound wasn't CRASH!?  Or was it?

My Chatter Box X1 SLIM.

Music, phone, FM radio, radar det., and an honest one mile range under most conditions.
The posse I ride with all run FRS & GMRS radios that have double my range, but are bulky with lots of wires.
My Chatter Box only has one wire for my push-to-talk button.

The only thing that pisses me off is Chatter Box was suppose to offer a wireless push-to-talk button in the spring of this year. NO WIRES is why I bought it in the first place, I don't like being tethered.
BUT it's still not offered!

I like my heated jacket and like Blackie Cookie I feel it's more of a luxury.

Heated vest or liner, sure.     But it doesn't count as a "gadget."   More like an essential!


As far as gadgets go, my favorite is clearly the Crampbuster.  Hands-down (see what I did there?   ).

The best $12 you will ever spend on your motorbike.

I think GPS was it for me.  I used to be a paper map guy, didn't need any GPS...then I tried one.

It is a valuable tool for making sure I'm on track and helps with timing when I'm riding.

I like the Sena too, the sound quality is much better than the GMRS radio but not the range.  It is very clear at highway speeds compared to the Chatterbox where anything over 35mph it would sound garbled and I couldn't understanding it.

The GPS I have has XM so I get music thru the GPS to the SENA. 

Yes, I know it is just supposed to be me and the bike...but I enjoy some tunes.

I'm gonna have to echo 2rr2nv. Tank bag. I can pack more useless crap in that thing than imaginable. Heck, I've taken 3 day trips with just what's in the tank bag.

Next in line;
