Ready For Mena

Well,I went out today and bought me a LOS Navigation System for my ride.Just
trying to keep up with the boys with the GPS systems.It is antiquated,but
works.Can't wait now.

 

LOS = line of sight.
Got to be sunglasses. That's what Walker uses.

....

 

I don't have any sunglasses.

....louie

 

LOL.. He's workin' on the Railroad..

 

He forgot to put the "T" on it..Its a LOST system..helps him find his
way home from Kellers. You only ativate it when your lost.

What Model Number??

Shit, I wasn't aware Ed Hart needed ANY help finding his way
home....it's finding his way *from* home that's always been the
problem!

I'm here to testify and set the record straight, I've been witness to
Ed Hart being as much as two states away from his home and on a
deserted country highway with no road signs. He got a slight hint he
was pointed in the direction of his house, and he took off. Damnedest
thing I'd ever did see! All I knew was a huge WHOOSH went by me and a
big blur. I says to myself "that must be a low flying aeroplane, or it
must be a missle or something. I went to counting motorcycles, and Ed
Hart wasn't amongst 'em. Ed Hart done out-run us motorcycles, the
highway patrol, and even the poor old woman trying to cross the street
at the time. Whew!

Now, all that might seem amazing enough for everyone to take Ed along
on the ride to keep from getting lost, but if you do, you best be
having a saddlebag full of tow straps! He seems to have this magnetic
encoding that keeps him not wanting to point anywhere away from his
house. You have to pull the shit out of Ed to get him away from the
house, but turn him loose and he's gone again like a rebound!

 

Works well until 11:30am or on cloudy days...then everyone has to go
get a cup of coffee and wait for the "reboot"!

Another "bug" in that system was when a loop highway is involved with
either of those others.

 

I am not surprised none out you ungens havent heard of an LOS System.They
were popular in the 60's before the Inertial Nav System came out.

 

There were many manufacturerers of them.All worked the same.Pretty
reliable.Not as accurate as a GPS.It will get ya close.

 

Get to work Louie.

 

wheee, cannot wait to see your LOS SG deal. Mine cost me $330, and I
can navigate even when off the Bike, pretty good huh.

Either that, or he was 3/4 mile bringn' up the rear. He will cover your
back, and good at it.
However, on the upcoming mountain rides, I'll be pretty close with him
back there.

As many riders as might be, there should be two or more of us back
there, in case of a strap coming loose, and, possibly a 12 pack dangling
loose..<g>

Ed Hart reminds us:''I am not surprised none out you ungens havent heard

System came out.




Thanks, now I remember that. That was quite a deal for those times.

After I got me an AC (underdash hookup) for my Chevy, I then got me one
of them thangs. Boy 0 boy.

I thought I was in High Cotton, yes sir-ree.

Ed-hart goes on to describe: ''There were many manufacturerers of

They surely 'would'.

One time,the closest mine got me to a road side park just this side of
LittleRock, was 2 1/2 miles. I thought that was something.

Of course, I brought out my ''old fashoned'' RMM (Rand-McNally-Map)
and was able to calculate that if I remained on 67Hwy north, I had a
good chance of running ''up on'' the Road-Side Park.

How things have changed. --chuckle--

Ed said it would:

lookng?

that..betcha.

I hope its not so antiquated that it doesnt have the right maps. Does
it show Mena?

Them people are going to be pissed when they see the GPS has been torn
from the dash on one of those airplanes.
