Don I did not come up with that link by myself. I blatantly stole it from one of your posts. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=74986 I would not want to give the impression that I have a clue....... I simply remembered that you had posted that link and then I went looking for it. Here is the thread where I posted the chat link. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=89402

Sorry Boss You know we love to play. There were all those shiny new buttons on there.......

It let me log in to. It even told me I have an unread PM.

WOW! You are not supposed to do that. Very glad that you are able to type this to us. Heal quickly. Kick that bike in the fender for misbehaving.

I have a few relatives with new Titanium. Do what the doc says and it will be good. Best of luck on your recovery.

I guess I learned sumpin new. I never had a vehicle without 4 ways from the factory. I just ass-u-me-ed they were the law.

4.8 gallons. But then I have a 1st gen with a 5 gallon tank...... I was sweating that one. Was riding interstate at 80, pulling a loaded trailer, into a 40 MPH head wind. I got 18 MPG on that tank.

Neat. But an RSTD does not have 4 way flashers from the factory??? I always thought that was a requirement to be street legal???

Well the first drug they tried has helped. Not fixed it but made it less bad. They plan to increase the dosage next week after the surgery. The cardiologist has cleared me for the original surgery to be done this coming Friday, On Halloween? If I see a grim reaper costume any where on Friday, I'm outa there...... Then next week they will start messing with the cardiac drugs. One of the first to be started will be some form of blood thinner / anti clotting. But they can not start that just before surgery, for the obvious reasons. The doc was discussing some of the possible treatments for down the road. One nice thing that did happen, You know how docs are always saying "well you know at your age............" or "you really should loose some weight......." This time he started with "well since you are still so young and in really great shape" then explained that this opens up the play book for a lot of options that are very effective but can not be done on the old or the weak. There some of these options that can give a permanent cure with no need to be on drugs forever. He said that even though half of my heart is not working I still passed the stress test better than some people with everything working. I am cleared for anything I wish to do. If I feel like going for a 20 mile hike deer hunting he said go for it, just monitor my heart rate to keep it from getting to high. So it is now starting to look like I may survive this, I could end up being around here and causing trouble for a long long time. Maybe I will even sleep tonight for a change.

Sounds like a nice ride. Sure wish I could go for a nice long ride. :sign yeah that: My scoot is already parked for the winter The only fun I have left is playing with my little machines.

TMI!!!!

For intermittent electrical problems I often wire up some LEDs to various points in the suspected circuit. Depending on what the circuit is supposed to be doing, some LEDs will always be on some will always be off. Group all of the on's together and group all of the offs together, this way it is real easy for the eye to pick up even a flicker. With the LEDs it is easy to see in real time exactly where the problem is.

Bike is fine, I am broken. A friend came over and helped me put the bike to bed for the winter nap. He is a Hardly rider, he had to take the bike for a spin to warm it up good and get the treated gas into the carbs. We may have a future convert from a Hardly. There are sometimes I like to pick on someone other than myself.

I think some of the confusion may have come from your first post in this thread where you said that you will take the site down Monday night and then it went down Sunday morning with no warning. I'm not saying you should not have, just pointing out where the confusion came from. You gotta do what you gotta do when you feel you gotta do it. I was one that was checking back every 15 minutes due to the 15 minutes or forever comment.

During the times that the site is down for upgrades, if you really need a fix like I do. I really went thru a lot of withdrawals yesterday, specially since I can not ride or do much of anything else right now. You can log into chat while the site is down. Just bookmark this link; http://host718.123flashchat.com/venturerider/123flashchat.php?init_group=venturerider By using this link you can get into the VRO chat room even while the site is down for upgrades. I guess I found out yesterday that this does not work if I am the only one that knows about it.....

I guess I have to finish up some more of these. At this moment in time I do not know when I will be able to get to them. I have some health issues that need to get fixed before I can even think of touching the milling machine.

Sounds like a lot more good news than bad news. I would jump thru a lot of hoops for a deal like that. Good luck on getting everything together and making it happen. Who says the new Venture will not have a cassette?

Is it really any more dangerous than any other bike? Some would argue that all bikers are Darwin candidates. In some respects it may be safer. It certainly does not look comfortable to be standing for a long ride.

I love airplanes, but that lil puppy is from before my time.

I just know that Yama Mama is hoping that the upgrade will bring her whips back to chat. I will deal with whatever changes there are, I may whine for a while, but I'll get used to it. But black and orange????????

My screws were already stripped out by PO. I used a hack saw blade and cut off the mounting ears. I was able to get the blade in there from the top. The mounting ears are only in the way for the relocation anyhow.

Well at least Ice cream is not off the menu. After meeting with the last Dr., the top half of my heart is not doing its thing. It is not dead like it would be in a heart attack, it just aint doing nuttin, just sittin there on top and going along for the ride. Well it is the top half that tells the bottom half when to beat. so now the bottom half is not sure just when it is supposed to beat so it kind of just does a random thing. Docs are hoping that the right drug will encourage the top half to start doing its thing again. Problem is there is a lot of drugs that might work, so it will be trial and error to find the right one and the right dosage. So for a while now the plan is to try something and every couple days back to the cardiologist to see if it helped. Hopefully they find the right one before one of the really BAD scenarios plays out. I am still in some disbelief because I never had any hint of chest pain or other heart related symptoms, in other words I feel fine, and I am still trying to wrap my head around this and some of the realistic scenarios. Before I was scared, now I am terrified......... Even I am having a hard time coming up with smart ass comments about this.......

Hang in there. My father went thru this a few years ago. They were ready to pull the plug. He did not recognize any family members. he is now able to drive and living a fairly normal life. There is just a 2 year span that he has no recollection of.

Well I got a big chunk of steel now sitting in the basement........ Now for some cutting and welding........ .......If I can ever get back down there.......

Does that mean that your MD is officially back for 2015?
