  1. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6CX1RNLzoE]YouTube - Empire Flooring Commercial-In Your Home[/ame] On sunday mornings when i was a kid, This was branded in my Brain forever.
  2. Okay, I finally got around to looking at my RSTD exahust tips. I wanted to turn them around so they looked like most of the pictures in the reviews I've read. I feel that it makes the bike look longer, lol. I found what looks like a set screw hole at the bottom of the muffler housing. However, I tried several allen wrenches and those that fit in the hole didn't grab anything and other wrenches were just to big. I guess I knocked off those particular brain cells when I was younger. What am I missing? ps. no picture yet. I added a drivers backrest, my gps mount and wiring but that is about it. 2007 RSTD. All help would be appreciated.
  3. Tip and I are walking out the front door, headed to a 9 AM pow wow with an "Otolaryngology"(s) - (SPELL IT? I CANT EVEN PRONOUNCE IT!!!)..

  4. I didn't know Brenda very well. She use to work for the city. The position I have now, is the position she had when she left the city. Brenda has a lot of friends, and she is liked by many. She was in an accident this past Saturday. She is in intensive care, and has a breathing machine hooked up to her. She is in an induced coma, because her brain is swollen. I am posting a few links to different articles. Please pray for Brenda. Hopefully she will make a full recovery.

  5. I was told that my 87 Venture Royale needs a new brain. I don't know what the central processor is called, it's some sort of black box. Supposedly it controls much of the motorcycle's electronics. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Where can I get one?
  6. :sick:hay I gess I will just jump in and ask you if anyone can help me out I have got a 87 1300 with a dead # 2 cylender no fire I thought it was a dead coil but I took the # 4 electrical conector and hooked it to the # 2 connecter and I got fire from the coil so I don't know if it is the brain or the igniter or what it could be I cleaned all other connections it"s got me stumped just call me brain dead if any ideas thanks............
  7. It's amazing how the brain works to solve puzzles like this so quickly. This one I HAVEN'T seen before! Quite interesting! I've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I've seen it with numbers. . Good example of a Brain Study: If you can read this OUT LOUD you have a strong mind.

  10. Just going out to start my trailer wiring job thanks from advise from playboy (Vincent)and the harness from M61A1MECH (Steve) but I can't figure out how the rear seat comes off. I'm sure it's just a brain fart or maybe I need new glasses but anywho can someone point me in the right area. Thanks
  11. Brain Study.... Wow! It took me a few seconds, but then I got the hang of it...I've seen this with the letters out of order, but this is the first time I've seen it with numbers.

  12. Sent to me by an old friend from the MTA. I think that man of us knew this though. "Riding a motorcycle every day might actually keep your brain functioning at peak condition, or so says a study conducted by the University of Tokyo. The study demonstrated that riders between the age of 40 and 50 were shown to improve their levels of cognitive functioning, compared to a control group, after riding their motorcycles daily to their workplace for a mere two months. Scientists believe that the extra concentration needed to successfully operate a motorcycle can contribute to higher general levels of brain function, and it’s that increase in activity that’s surely a contributing factor to the appeal of the motorcycles as transportation. It’s the way a ride on a bike turns the simplest journey into a challenge to the senses that sets the motorcyclist apart from the everyday commuter. While the typical car-owning motorist is just transporting him or her self from point A to point B, the motorcyclist is actually transported into an entirely different state of consciousness . Riding a motorcycle is all about entrance into an exclusive club where the journey actually is the destination. Dr Ryuta Kawashima, author of Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain, reported the outcome of his study of “The relationship between motorcycle riding and the human mind.” Kawashima’s experiments involved current riders who currently rode motorcycles on a regular basis (the average age of the riders was 45) and ex-riders who once rode regularly but had not taken a ride for 10 years or more. Kawashima asked the participants to ride on courses in different conditions while he recorded their brain activities. The eight courses included a series of curves, poor road conditions, steep hills, hair-pin turns and a variety of other challenges. What did he find? After an analysis of the data, Kawashima found that the current riders and ex-riders used their brain in radically different ways. When the current riders rode motorcycles, specific segments of their brains (the right hemisphere of the prefrontal lobe) was activated and riders demonstrated a higher level of concentration. His next experiment was a test of how making a habit of riding a motorcycle affects the brain. Trial subjects were otherwise healthy people who had not ridden for 10 years or more. Over the course of a couple of months, those riders used a motorcycle for their daily commute and in other everyday situations while Dr Kawashima and his team studied how their brains and mental health changed. The upshot was that the use of motorcycles in everyday life improved cognitive faculties, particularly those that relate to memory and spatial reasoning capacity. An added benefit? Participants revealed on questionnaires they filled out at the end of the study that their stress levels had been reduced and their mental state changed for the better. So why motorcycles? Shouldn’t driving a car should have the same effect as riding a motorcycle? “There were many studies done on driving cars in the past,” Kawashima said. “A car is a comfortable machine which does not activate our brains. It only happens when going across a railway crossing or when a person jumps in front of us. By using motorcycles more in our life, we can have positive effects on our brains and minds”. Yamaha participated in a second joint research project on the subject of the relationship between motorcycle riding and brain stimulation with Kawashima Laboratory at the Department of Functional Brain Imaging, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer at Tohoku University. The project began in September 2009 and ran until December 2010, and the focus of the research was on measurement and analysis of the cause and effect relationship involved in the operation of various types of vehicles and brain stimulation. The study measured changes in such stimulation over time by means of data gathered from a long-term mass survey. The reason for Yamaha Motor’s participation in this project is pretty obvious and not a little self-serving, but further research into the relationship between motorcycle riding and brain stimulation as it relates to the “Smart Aging Society” will certainly provide some interesting results. The second research project was divided into two time periods throughout 2009 and 2010 compared differences in the conditions of brain stimulation as they related to the type of vehicle and driving conditions. A second set of tests measuring the changes in brain stimulation over time involved a larger subject group. Yamaha Motors provided vehicles for the research and made its test tracks and courses available for the study. What the study revealed is that what you’re thinking about while you’re riding – and your experience on the bike - changes the physical structure of your brain. Author Sharon Begley concurs with Kawashima’s findings. In her tome, Train Your Mind – Change Your Brain, Begley found much the same outcomes. “The brain devotes more cortical real estate to functions that its owner uses more frequently and shrinks the space devoted to activities rarely performed,” Begley wrote. “That’s why the brains of violinists devote more space to the region that controls the digits of the fingering hand.” Source: http://www.motorcycleinsurance.com/this-is-your-brain-on-a-motorcycle/
  13. Ok, I was watching Brain Games on nat geo. They were explaining how the mind can only focus on one thing well and multi tasking. They did some tests and at some point explained that most accidents with motorcycles are cagers who turn left in front of bikes. The cagers are looking for cars and since they do not have motorcycles in their minds they actually dont see the motorcycles since they aren't looking for them, they are looking for cars and trucks. It seems to me if this were true the government would do a better job to educate drivers to look for bikes or place reminders at key intersections to get drivers into the habit.
  14. --- some pics of the new adventure that has come along. Hey Tom, was that me you were hinting about in midrsv's survey about how many GW riders? I don't think I'll ever get all of the use out of this thing that I wish I could. I also think I'd like it if it would be a lot easier to check/change the air filter! Some engineer had a brain fart when he did this.
  15. I thought I would post this up. On May 1st I will be atending a charity ride for the pediatric brain tumor foundation. It got started in my area after one of the local morning radio djs found out he had a brain tumor. After he had surgery and is now in remision he decided to give back and started putting together a ride for this group. Anyways there are several ways to help and in my opinion a worthy cause. If youd like to ride or help you can contact me or the site itself. http://www.pbtfus.org/rideforkids/events/2011/triangle.html let me know and please dont think its for me aas I get nothing out of this except a feeling that Ive helped out in some way. They said it had close to 700 bikes last year . It sounds like a blast to me David

  17. This past weekend, my cruise control would not engage on my trip to the finger lakes..Got home and gave my good buddy BONGOBOBBY a call to help diagnose the problem.....FIRST QUESTION from Bob was... "DID YOU TURN THE SWITCH TO ON IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FAIRING ". :sign brain fart: :sign brain fart: :sign brain fart: NUFF SAID......
  18. As many of you know we lost a great friend and brother a little over 2 years ago to brain cancer. Mike "Deltoid" Bland was one of a kind and we miss him terribly. Last year I decided to make one particular ride a dedication to Mike. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's "Ride For Kids" is a fund raiser that gives all it's money to research for a cure for Pediatric brain cancer. I can't think of a better way to honor my friend than to make sure his bike is on that ride and to raise as mush money as possible in his name. Last year we raised a little over $1000. I hope to double that this year. This year the ride will be returning to the North side of town. On June 6th the ride will start at the North Point Mall and end in Dahlonega at Lumpkin HS. It would be awesome if we could get a number of riders there this year to ride in Mike's name. I have set up a fund raising site for "Deltoid's Team" at: http://www.firstgiving.com/deltoidsteam Please visit and donate if you feel lead but please don't feel obligated. Mike would never want that. Follow your heart, Mike always did. For additional information check out the PBTF site at: http://www.pbtfus.org/rideforkids/calendar/2010/atlanta.html Thanks everyone and I hope I see many of you there this year.
  19. What, did you "PAUSE" for the cause?????:rotfl:
  20. I am being told that either the gauge cluster is bad or the brain that controls it. I have to wonder which part "they" mean by "brain". I am assuming the block box under the fairing headlight assembly. Can anyone elaborate on this? The lights turn on, signals work, but no gas gauge, tach, speedo etc... thanks for any and all help.
  21. Greetings all, My soon to be 16 year old son has gottin bit by the bike bug. He wants to save for a dual purpose bike. Didn't we call them enduros back when? Any way, I thought I would seek the advice of the brain trust here and ask what is a good model for a starter bike? I like his thinking that he could learn in the pasture before hitting the streets. Thanks Dave
  22. Does anyone have a cruise control brain they wish to sell? Its a black box behind the dash about 3"x4" part # 1NL-85830-00. Mine I just found out is ruined from my crash rebuilding the bike keep finding little things damaged.
  23. Is there an after market cdi available. Seems I saw one on here- for first gens...
