Limey:
I know you mentioned bike buying for a later topic but here's a thought. Look at the Motorado website. They are a Denver consignment dealer. For example there is a 2007 BMW k1200S for $5995 and a 2007 F800S for $2995. Both well underpriced. There are others as well including a Speed Triple.
One could buy a bike in the early spring and then list it back with them in May when sales, and prices, ramp up. If willing, you could buy the bike, with your buddies Euros of course, then relist it later to his credit. That avoids all of the issues about foreigners buying and licensing US bikes. Motorado can arrange 10% down financing and your buddy would have minimal outlay until the bike resold.
Beats riding a rented Harley for a couple of thousand miles in my opinion.

Subject: [emrat:5989] Roadtrip. GPS/Intercom questions
So my British biker buddy is flying over next April 28th and we have 8 full days to go on a road trip. He rides a Vulcan 1700 back home but it seems he is limited to renting an Indian or HD if we can't find him a bike to buy before then but that will be another subject in a month or two. Our road trip will be taking I-70 West to Fruita or Moab, check out Arches & Canyonlands the next day, down to Zion or which ever is the better park. Ive never been to Vegas so a couple of days there, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, back into Colorado and maybe Ouray or similar on the way home.I will start a thread for the at a later date also :0)
For this post tho, I am interested in portable GPS units (i had a Garmin Nuvi years ago until somebody nicked it out my car) and the bike to bike intercom systems. Its seems theres a huge price difference for these gps units, like $200 to $800 and while I would prefer the cheaper one, I was wondering what features are really needed for using on a motorbike? Same goes for the intercoms, obviously I don't want to cheap out here coz I am reading that the better ones like the Sena 20S have up to a mile and a half range which I had no idea was even possible, plus they can integrate with your phone and gps etc. So I've got loads of reading up to do but if any of you guys have any suggestions/recommendations then I would love to hear them?
Cheers,
Limey.
