Slavery existed in Russia too. It was called serfdom. The serfs were essentially owned by their masters and had to get permission to do anything such as get married. The Tsar eliminated serfdom in 1861 thereby freeing 23 million serfs from their masters.

Seems you have to do a back ground check and credit check. References from their last landlord would be a great thing to require. If the can't provide one, they don't qualify. I'd be thinking all kinds of ways to seek revenge if that had happened to me. Probably wouldn't follow through but.

You prefer the cruiser style I suppose. I decided back when I had a 1983 750 Yamaha Virago that I didn't want any more vibrating, underpowered V twin bikes. Give me a smooth powerful four cylinder bike please.

Or you could buy the 2010 updated model sold by Honda, the Honda NT700V. http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/honda/2010-honda-nt700v-ar79405/picture321716.html

Seems to be the "Redskins" football team got their name because they wanted to honor a Native American coach or somebody. It was intended as an honor not an insult. As I remember?

If you went skinny dipping and someone stole your clothes, what would you do?

They must have changed the words that go with NAACP.

Very sorry to hear about your issues. I had an irregular heart beat when I was working my job in FL that included 14 months of 6 - 12s. I ate too much and gained to my all time peak weight. When the job ended, I retired and lost 25 lbs, got back to walking 50 minutes 3 times a week and on alternate days I did a set of pullovers and arm curls on the Total Gym, pushups from the knee, situps, and squats. My heartbeat got back to normal. I was 70 at the time. So, my advice would be to lose weight and exercise, gently at first, the best two things you could ever do for your body.

Fuel pump? They seem to fail on the 2nd gens. Surely did sound like a venting problem though.

Water cooling is a must on a big bike in my opinion because the oil gets very hot in an air cooled engine. The review I read of the LA Sheriff's dept tests of potential police bikes showed the facts. The police Harley had a factory spec of the oil temp not to exceed 410 degrees F!!!! The air/oil cooled BMW R1250RT has a spec of not exceeding about 300 plus degrees. All the water cooled bikes had specs for their oil temps in the 200s. I'm sure that IF Yamaha does offer another touring bike it will be a clone of the Kawasaki Voyager, V twin, water cooled, and maybe belt drive. From what I have read about the Voyager, Kawa has modified it to duct the heat away from the rider in the front and also the passenger in the rear. So, it may be a decent choice for those who don't mind a v twin.

Just found a photo of the new Venture!

No doubt it will be a V twin and that will keep me from being interested. These V4s are the best feature of the current Ventures.

Color?

Wow! On the road already! Nothing can keep you two down!

When I recently drove out to Wyoming, my Garmin I was using in my old F150 crapped out and I used the navigation in my iphone. I was surprised when I got a low battery warning using the nav when I had it plugged in and charging the whole time. So, that may be something to consider.

When the rioters start throwing rocks and molovtov cocktails at the police, it is beyond my logic why the police don't shoot the perps. I suppose I'd be arrested if someone threw a molotov cocktail at me or my home because that is exactly what I would do.

The counter argument for paying extra on the loan is that if you lose your job and find yourself without funds, you can't borrow money and you can't get the extra money back that you paid on the loan. So, always have some liquidity handy for emergencies.

With a conventional loan you need a 20% down payment to avoid mortgage insurance. I used my VA loan way back to buy my first house. When I moved, I sold it myself and I allowed the new owner to assume my VA mortgage. Cost almost nothing to sell the house. And the new owners actually put in the extra effort to assume responsibility for the mortgage after the sale. Way back in 73!!

I bought some from partzilla.com

Some of the recent offenders had been arrested 28 times. I think anyone who has been arrested that many times should have a bounty on their head and anyone can shoot on sight.

When you provide a service for customers, it is best to always keep personal opinions of the people out of it and just do the best job you can or that is the way I look at it.

Low 90's and feels very hot!

Don't tell the wife you forgot about $1600. She might have you committed!

Shinko bought Yokohama's motorcycle tire division so I wouldn't be afraid to put them on my bike.
