There are two places in a North America, one in Montana and the other on the border between British Columbia & Alberta, where you can stand in one spot and if you spin in a circle while taking a Wizz, you will (eventually) hit the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Arctic Oceans with your DNA... the Montana location has the added benefit of adding it to the Gulf of Mexico.

Looks like I learned something today!
I do believe when you mention "Continental Divide", most people would assume you are talking about the Continental Divide of the Americas.

Year 2020 is shaping up to be one of the best Daytona spring rides in years. We are so used to leaving in snow, rain or cold that we just assume the weather will be bad. But much to our surprise the forecast shows the lows here in NC when we leave will be in the 50’s and the highs in Daytona are expected to be upper 70’s to low 80’s and SUNNY! No heated gear this year!
The bike is ready to roll. We have our new helmets tested and setup. My wife has a HD 3 in 1 with a removable chin guard for wind. It has a really good shield that does retract. This helmet is not designed for communications, but much to my surprise with very little modifications I was able to install a Cardo Packtalk Bold. I have never seen her this happy about a helmet and especially blue tooth communications. I bought a Schuberth C3Pro on close out for a deal and the Cardo Packtalk Bold was very easy to install with just one minor modification. I did order the upgrade 45mm JBL speakers and WOW they are fantastic. I put the standard JBL in that come with the unit and they are good. But the upgrade is worth every penny!
I’m getting a little better with the GoPro. Hope to get some good shots on the demo rides this year. If I can ride the following bikes on this trip I will be very happy:
HD FatBoy
HD Live Wire
Indian Challenger
Honda Goldwing DCT
Honda African Twin
Yamaha FJR

No question Cardo is better than Sena. I like Sena just fine and it has served me well. But the first impression with Cardo are wonderful. Instant connection with wife, the phone app really makes things simple, the voice commands are the cats meow and if you have to use the buttons you can actually feel them!
The Schubreth came with the pinlock insert which made it an even better deal at $399. I love the click release chin strap. I’m not going to say if is better than my Shoei but it is an impressive helmet. Both are worth the money, especially if you wait till the new models come out and grab a deal on previous model.
