Northern Virginia Roll Call

going to do some research. Might just be that my car is too old to interchange new parts

 

Anyone want the home made cab roof rack off my truck? 100$ obo. Might trade for beer.

I also have like a 8' ebay awning, and some Amazon traction boards.

 

I just want you to have your truck back

 

I think we all want that. Can you pay me 100k a year to sit in a cushy office job?

 

I like Erie insurance. We’ve replaced a few Jeep windshield and my rear glass for “free” (thanks again @3pooches for recommending I ask). They’ve insured all 4 of our harley and bmw motorcycles but said they might not be able to cover a legit street (race) bike if that’s a concern. The absolutely asinine advertising budget for the other big names was a turn off for me but, to each their own.

 

If anyone in the local area needs help with their key fob, I might be able to help. I went through the Lexus key fob upgrade and have the proper stuff to help. Tactrix dongle, tokens for a refresh if needed, updated Techstream software, etc. Sharing is caring. lol
If you buy a key fob that is already used, the tokens are used to refresh them!

 

And I have a Lexus key fob if anyone is interested in following through. Bought new from Lexus. Used it in my Tacoma. Easy and awesome upgrade.

 

Sweet! Russ got me on to these, so I had to follow through. The only think I'm not familiar with is if we have to purchase a techstream service pack (2 day service is like $60). I'm pretty certain this can be done off line and without the purchase.

 

Thanks for the info! Sounds like a solid lead that I'll definitely follow. Race bikes won't be an issues, just a DRZ and a Subaru.

 

Mr. GoatRacer knows that he is welcome to borrow it whenever he would like.

 

There are various sources for a pirated copy. Not that I would condone any such action.

 

Got to get in my field. I barely go to work lol

 

Define "cushy".

 

Anytime… you have a DRZ? Sounds like I just met a new friend! If you talk to erie let me know what they say about the DRZ… it might be a grey area for them. Also let me know if you ever wanna ride… the wife and I might go on one this evening.

Our Presidents’ Day was spent in/near Shenandoah with a new pal on a CRF300 Rally.

 

Wake up and head down to my desk in the basement in my robe and coffee? Have a dress shirt in the closet just in case I have to video, but still wearing hugh hefner pajamas? Is that cushy?

 

Sweet!! I got the Supermoto version, perfect vehicle for Arlington/DC riding in my opinion. Will definitely be down for some rides and/or camping when it warms up a little. Gonna be tough to decide whether to take the truck or bike on future trips!

 

I assume this just for automatic trannies since manuals don't have push-to-start, is that correct? Just out of curiosity, how do you get the tokens?

 

I’m glad we can both share that problem hah. Those accessory lights look nice! Doesn’t look like it, but is that public riding land?

 

@fatfurious2 overnight 2wheel trip up flagpole knob?

 

Actually, there is a choice of push start or no push start. And, techstream connects to your vehicle and pulls all the data automatically. If you have a brand new key then you don't need tokens at all to do this.

Tokens are purchased from the website I mentioned (Pin-Online.net) only if you need to make a used key fob new again (to make it your own). It cost me $25 for 5 tokens, but only needed 1 to clean my fob (Smart Code Reset). What the token was used for.....was to produce a "Pass Code" which verifies the connection I believe for the car and key. It's a process, but it works (the system produces a 96 digit SEED Code that connects with your Vin#) and the Pass Code is the final confirmation. It sounds complicated, but it literally took me a few minutes to do.
