Video - Burgman 650 Striptease

Finished phase one of the CVT diagnosis / repair project which meant removing all the tupperware.
It's a 25 steps project which I highlighted in this video that shows all the pieces that need to come off
prior to separating the engine from the frame.

RIP - Dead Standard 04 650 at 52k miles

On May 25th, 2012 I lost all traction on my std. 2004 Burgman 650 with 52k miles on it.

The scoot went completely dead, would rev high with zero traction or forward movement.

Had the scoot towed to the house and began the diagnosis and possible repair project.

FYI - Patagonia Jackets

I recently acquired two pieces of general clothing that have proved to be great at cross platform use. I have used them both on a number of occasions as a base layer in cold weather with great results. You can read the full review here:

FYI - Garmin Nuvi 550 GPS

I had been shopping around for a new GPS to use on my bike and the Garmin Nuvi 550 ended up being the winner as it is waterproof and offers different modes, driving / biking / walking, with distinct route info in each mode.

I will be doing a complete review and dedicate an ongoing living document to the GPS to show its
hidden features and how to make and load free topo maps, trail maps etc..

The unit is on sale right now for between $190-199.99, that's about $100.00 off the $299.99 msrp.
