Last year a co-worker had a back operation to relieve the pressure on his sciatic nerve from his bulging disc. It worked great for him. One thing that I have noticed is that when my lower back is giving me fits, if I cut my caloric intake in half, my back pain almost goes away. This tells me that my problem involves arthritis or gout which is a form of arthritis.

Wow! Those girls certainly looked good!!

You are correct Sir! I thought I was retired last August and started riding more but then took another job. It's 4 1/2 hrs from home and 4 10s. So, I drive home Thursday night for an almost 3 day weekend but then I'm busy doing lots of other stuff. When this job ends I'm retired for good!!!

like I said, I have been using it and my wife has been using it for a couple of years on the recommendation of our son who just graduated with a degree in computer science and we have not had any issues with virus or ad ware. Maybe there are better programs out there. There always is.

I use Microsoft Essentials on my computer. It is free and I have not had any problems. you can go to their site and download it for free.

I think mine should go to a collector because I'm probably going to drop it and mess it up. I'm not a collector. I use and abuse everything I buy.

In 2009, I bought my 85 Kawasaki ZN700 that only had 1k miles on it. The original tires look like new. The bike had been stored in a barn in Wisconsin. I rode it several hundred miles before replacing them. They are not cracked and look great. The replacements I bought from Motorcycle Superstore were Metzler lazertecs. the rear was 5 yrs old when it came. It looks great and is still on the bike. I think the age of tires means less than some believe. I'm sure the tire manufacturers don't want to get sued and recommend on the conservative side.

Beautiful bike! It looks almost identical to mine.

I noticed that the ad didn't tell you non-essential details like what the load rating is. On a heavy bike like ours riding 2 up, it needs to be the highest.

Yes it has the pouches, the passenger controls, and a took kit. I went back to work shortly after buying it (out of state) and I haven't ridden it much. I haven't put my 4 brush starter on it yet and it is running rich. I would hate to rely on it starting a slow as it turns over when hot. I paid $3800.

Yes, the color legend is clear.

The owner and shop manuals came and they are bound manuals just like I hoped.

I test rode a 2002 Kawasaki Voyager with 34k miles in 2009. It was clean and the owner wanted $4k for it, a good deal I thought. But the transmission whined really loud, too loud for me to think of buying it. I'm glad my 89 Venture does not whine.

So, the carb cleaner doesn't ruin the rubber needle tip? I'm assuming it's rubber.

If I remember correctly, Dot 4 synthetic fluid has a lower boiling point than Dot 3 and doesn't work as well at high altitudes.

As has been posted before, 91 is the first year they had the 4 brush starter.

Hey, don't tell Cowpuc!

My son was the main recording engineer for Beyonces last album released in December. He just remixed one of the songs for the trailer for the movie 50 Shades of Grey. Take a look if you like.

I got a shipping notice, so something is being sent to me. I'll let you guys and gals know what when it arrives.

I dare say that none of us knows what motorcycle "synthetic" oil really is. And the oil companies won't tell you what is in their oil. You would have to have a lab do an analysis to know for sure what it is made of. Auto "synthetic" ain't for the most part. It's Group III dino oil with maybe a little real synthetic blended in. (Amzoil!) Auto synthetic used to be PAO, polyalphaolefin except for maybe Redline which was an ester. But Castrol called their cheaper Group III dino oil "synthetic". Mobil sued and a judge ruled against Mobil so they switched to Group III also because it is cheaper. Now, even auto Amzoil is made mostly of Group III dino oil according to an oil company lab guy that participates on the F150 forum. Who knows what motorcycle "synthetic" really is?

I loved my 32" Tube TV but my wife wanted HD tv so we bought a 46" HD flat screen. The 32" got mad when we took it upstairs and the audio quit working. So, I tossed it in a dumpster at the county dump. That thing was way heavy!

The Corvette could weigh as much as 1,000 lbs less than the Challenger. Just guessing because I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum with the 5.7 Hemi. It weighs 4300lbs. The Magnum, Charger, Chrysler 300, and the Challenger all are based on the same platform which is a Mercedes platform.

Looks like a steal to me! How many miles on it?

The second time I replaced the fork seals on my Kawasaki, I used All Balls Racing seals sold on ebay. They advertise that they are tested to last 3 times longer than OE. I know they fit tighter. Seem to be holding up well. When I have to replace the Venture seals, I'll look for All Balls Racing seals.
