im planning to hardwire my gps onto my bike. before i posted asking how to do it, i tried to be a good netizen and do a search. but im not allowed to search for terms with only three letters. so.... is there a work-around? can certain three letter words that would be commonly used like oil or gps be made exceptions to the rule?

thanks.

Good question. Let me go poke around in the control panel and see if there's a way to search for those items.

Try searching for gps*. The "*" symbol is a wildcard, so vBulletin thinks it's searching for a four letter word (:huh)

It should work for any three letter word. I searched for oil* and got a whole page of results. I suppose you could use this to now search for "tank bag*" as well, which was always hard to find.
