Its kind of funny how some bikes:icon_lurker: forgot the gas gauge. I never run out of gas on them but the ones with the gauge I have. Just like the other day when I went to the Falls this guy in a really nice Camaro Pulls up and offers assistance, Although I did not need any it is sure nice knowing there are Steve's out there. I have even used my tripple AAA membership to get someone a tow he tried to help me a while back get my bike pop started. So cheers to the Steve's out there.

Ok I use these at times, But you would think the machine would be smart enuff to know when you can not bag an item.... Or when you need to double bag something. These are my two pet peaves with them DO YOU WANT TO BAG THIS 25lb Bag of DOG food. Unexpected Item in baggin area when you have Double bagged your 2 liters of soda... I don't know if I have ever said this before but my oldest son tried for 3-4 yrs to get me to buy a smart phone. Then one day my trusty phone quit. I had to get another and didn't have much money at the time and the Go Phone I have had for years. So we go in to buy me a new phone I was looking at this tiny flip phone but it was a samsung flip. So up above it sets the ZTE Compel with Kit Kat, I end up buying this phone and know nothing about them I pretty much had to self teach myself with a little bit of his help, He went thru it in 10 minutes, He over there going don't need this; this needs to be disabled. Once I figured them out I kind of like them. But I do miss the days where you simply picked up your brick, Punched in your number you were dialing and vwala you made your call. I will say all in all my phone has more then served its purpose, It's my alarm clock, Personal assistant reminding me to take my meds, check blood sugar, and remind me of upcoming appointments. Very handy personal device. Now to whoever was talking about self driving trucks well... here is an article on that I have even seen video of how these trucks would operate. I don't know about you all but after Maximum Overdrive, It kind of gives me nightmares to think about this one. http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/10/13/497834498/for-the-long-haul-self-driving-trucks-may-pave-the-way-before-cars

The thing is if you dig a little in this site you will find there is oil, tire debates just depends who you ask. Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Has anyone been catching these advertisements or headers about McD's Putting in Kiosk? I don't know about you all, but to me this another Job Killing idea. Not to mention the fact to think of walking into Mcd's instead of being annoyed by would you like McCafe or a hot apple pie with that, I will be walking in to press a screen and I guess be warped into the times of the Jetson's. Is the food gonna come out of the walls? My first job I watched go overseas was there the day they closed up for good. Everyone complains about all the unemployment rates, They don't even count the people who can't get Un-Employment or have ran out. When I first started working people would joke about some day robots will be doing our jobs. I seen that come to light at my 3rd job at esselte I used to run the pallet jack well sorta it ran it self I just had to press C4 to D1 or whatever. Craziest thing then... Top that I have jokingly told my kids I was gonna drop them off where I used to camp with nothing but a Fishing Pool some milk jugs and a tent. They all whiny about there phones, computers, Video games, and internet. They freak if you shut the cable off it's like you just killed someone or committed some type of a crime. I tell them I litterally feel as old as some of you are. If not a bit older at times. I have done my best to limit there time I actually had them down to 2 times a week for anything electronic. Then the School sends us a letter in mid-June telling us about these Chrome books for My 13 yr old son that the 7th and 8th grade classes will be getting one. So I am thinking ok what now. Well he get his Chrome Book and he gets to take it home with him every night. So I am think well he ain't gonna have internet access. So we are at the meeting about these new wonderful devices and informed us the kids would need access to the internet.:bang head::bang head::bang head: For Homework Purposes and to be able to access there site. So I figure well at least I got Parental controls... Nope I don't because with the Parental Controls enabled his Chrome Book will not connect. Needless to say He ask me about every other day about his Chromebook which I literally know nothing about. My logic tells me the thing shouldn't even boot up, It has NO DRIVES. Then there is my two younger kids which they each have one of me and my gf's old phones. I allow them to play them 1 hr 30 min a night, I just don't see how any of these kids are really learning anything, the schools logic is to next year have more Chromebooks for the 5th and 6th graders to each have one. I just see people getting less and less personal about things. Most people prefer to text then to talk on the phone, They assume to just go thru the self checkouts, and now these Kiosk to order food at McDs. This world is just getting crazy anymore.

Wonder how many Ignore list I have made here? Btw it was a nice 60 degrees here today:smile5:. But I have a feeling we may get hit hard this season, I would say next year because we generally get our snow if we get any in January or February.

Ummm Isn't max speed in third gear supposed to be 80:Avatars_Gee_George:. I don't believe it no way you got up to that, would you believe a second gear pass at 75:smile5:, I guess the better question is HOW!!! This is my story and sticking to it because I believe they put red on the TACH for a reason.

I have Metz on mine but they are also old. They were bought 3 yrs ago when our powersports company went out of bussisness. The front still has the nipples on it, my rear tire is still good but showing its age. I have noticed there is alot of debate on this subject. I am sure if you search tire threads you are bound to find some. I have seen alot of talk about 3 different brands there is Dunlops, The Avons, and the other escapes me at the moment. Our wonderful Master seems to like E3's I could be wrong. I am guessing the Avon's may be a little cheaper can't remember but there was a debate a couple months ago. Heck there may even be a Tire Poll.

Don't this bike have the triple digits?

That would be very different, and very interesting to see.

Ok Now I feel like a troll, But I do not have cd changer but now that you mention it because I have an aftermarket Sony AM/FM/Mp3/CD/ with front Aux and after 2-3 days I have to charge the Battery. It will crank but not enough voltage to make it spark.

That Poor thing you left it out to make it into a snowtri... Shame on you:stickpoke:

What secret access underneath to look for buried treasure? I would like to make one of these gatherings, maybe I'll get a chance to feel young! Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Good questions, many have said other then a few minor quirks they may have these little liquid cooled V4's will take you 300,000. I got the 83 venture which it is 1st gen mkI they 83-85 is the 1st gen mkI the 86-93 is 1st gen mkII. Second gens look like Harley's and My bike will blow it off the road....

Wait parking tickets are a real thing thought they just called tow truck Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

The ones I get spoof? I Had one, one time call and it said Newton County Sheriff. Guy had a very heavy accent, he got pissed when I told I called the Newton County Sheriffs department. He called me a ****** idiot that dispatch won't know nothing about the Warrant. I politely told him there was no foreigners here other then mexicans and Islanders which sound nothing like you. It is amazing what these Foreignors will try to do. About this time last year the news had us in a scare over Posible Muslims buying a crap load of cell phones I think the lady tried to purchase 50 of them all together. People were saying there planning to blow something up. Only a few thought well we are gonna be getting calls from the IRS.

Yep and I would definitely be looking at suburban with 3rd row and 4x4 to boot I know my truck is 2002 but I paid 4500 for it. It was the only one in good shape and priced cheap. Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Macarl hit a nail on the head about his ex-wife. I put a couple things online including my bike. Funny thing I put up the price according to nada 3500 no calls for a month actually forgot I had it posted. A guy calls and wanted to come check it out. At that point tho I had changed my mind about selling but he wanted to come look. He showed up with 3000 in hand. I just couldn't, part with her. My Jimmy started out at 3000 I ended up selling it for 800 because the trani stopped shifting acting like it was stuck in 3rd. I had reverse but the forward was sluggish. It wasn't acting up or anything it just did it. I had drove it 3 hours earlier and it was fine. Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Hey I shouldn't ask but is the got 3rd row in it?

I haven't seen the ignitek on eBay but I have ran across our tci box try searching igniter box or ecu Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Only one thing to say darn it for 83's for being so unique... There is the one everyone knows from ignitek and the other one I came across http://www.regulatorrectifier.com/catalog/1983-1985-1989-Yamaha-XVZ12-Venture-1200-CDI-Ignitor no one has tried this one. But it being me I would go with the one that everyone uses. Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.

Hey I may be crazy, But use a spray bottle next time... @cowpuc talks about a spit test. So figure spray bottle may give you some kind of idea, If you have one with stream instead of spray. One thing I also did just to check my coils was switched the plug to another coil. like if its 3 giving you heck plug 3 to coil 4 and check for spark that is easy enuff without removing the coils and swapping them. Unless thats what ya meant. I actually took my coil connectors appart and cleaned the prongs on all of them but you have to be carefull not to rip the wires out of coil.
