OK - this is timely because I was thinking about getting a 665 - how do you guys like it? Is it durable? One of my ride buddies said you shake the crap out of it when you mount it on the fairing with the HD mount, and it breaks...you guys have any experience to offer? Its a clean looking install.

Jlj6t,
You're gonna love the Beartooth(The most beautiful place I've ever seen). I did much of your route in June. In the Black Hills, don't miss the Needles Hwy and Iron Mountain Rd. Yellowstone will be crowded and slow, so don't plan on getting anywhere quick. Hit the Wind River Canyon south of Cody and when you get to Colorado Springs, make the run up Pikes Peak. The view is awesome and the road is a white-knuckle adventure.

If I recall correctly, the number is 9. What is don't recall for sure is whether that's per trip or segment.
Lots of different comments on the number of Waypoints HD Ride Planner will allow. Here is the correct number. You can continue to add waypoints but I'm not sure how well they will download to your GPS.

I'm pretty sure Ride Planner will allow more than the GPS on the 2014's allow. I believe once you hit the 9th waypoint on a route, it truncates the route.

I used to use Tyre, but it seems as if the last update to my Garmin screwed it up. I have a Nuvi 2597 and if I plan a route w/Tyre my Garmin only picks up the first & last waypoint, so it then calculates the route based on the Garmin settings.
I started using Basecamp & it seems to be working correctly. The learning curve isnt too bad for Basecamp.
