  1. Hey TopV, I have a 2008 tour guide for Nova Scotia PM me your address and I'll sent it out to ya.:hurts::hurts:
  2. OK! fill me in here on whats wrong with the stock stereo other then the tape player. Granted it's been a few year since I sold my 05 Midnight but I remember being able to hear it just fine at any speed!
  3. I'm so jealous.

    At least you didn't shoot down the wish for more color choices.
  6. Really, Thanks Don! I know who to look up when the wallet ready.
  7. Thanks Gil, I"m not ready to buy yet. Still saving the cash, I want to pay cash for my next bike and on top on that I'm still on the fence RSV/HD Ultra.
  8. There's pic of one in the star gallery that got the solo look. Man I love that look.
  9. I've kept a closed eye on ebay for about a year now watching what the used RSV's are going for. It seems I rarly see a 2008 Black Cherry/Raven come across the block. This is my favorite colors with the Midnight a close 2nd. My best guess is it's such a good color compo the owner are hanging on to them.

    Wellllll! It would be nice to see some up grades. For ex... a indash CD player, FI, 6 speed tranny. Just sayin thats all. Oh ya a few more color choices wouldn't hurt.
  11. If I were to get a tat it would be on my upper left arm and it would say "beatus es pacificus" which is latin for "blessed are the peacemakers"
  12. Check this one out!! Very nice. item#150412686108
  13. So many good points posted! I love the analogy randya used Think of it as choosing between two women. One is very popular, especially with the rowdy crowd, tends to be high maintenance in cost and can be dressed up very attractively, even gawdy and usually ends up loud. Then, the other is more reserved, unknown to the masses, very comfortable to be around, much lower maintenance with a much longer support function if any problems do occur. Then, there is that sleek, flowing, timeless beauty. And, when you are in the mood to feel that real exhilaration of power, and not just noise, she is there for you, over and over. So, ask yourself, are you looking for that trophy lady or that one that wants you to be comfortable and secure? And then there’s the common sense approach 1canuck posted Buy a RSV: Pull the out tape deck and replace them with gauges Remove the rear wheel assembly and lube the driveshaft splines and pins in rear end Remove the carbs and set the floats and then use your vacuum gauge set to balance Get rid of the stock tires Add supports to the lower crash bars Remove the stock windshield and add a Clearview Even after this I’m still torn between the RSV and the Ultra
  14. CONGRATULATIONS!!
  15. OMG!!! I'm alway's going back and forth. I'll read an article on the HD and think "ok I'm going back to the Ultra" but the a few hours later I read something about ther RSV. You guessed it the RSV is then back on top. Well I guess I still have plenty of time. I would say about a year before I have enough cash to get really really serious.
  16. "get what your heart tells you" And there's the problem. My heart say focus on another Ultra, BUT my brain says it make more sense to focus on another RSV! The RSV clearly make more economical sense, and dare I say the RSV is a better bike. I know this but yet the powers of the darkside are oh so powerful.
  17. I went last summer without having a ride parked in my garage (1st time in about 20 yrs) I worked hard a focused on getting another RSV. Had a few set back, wife laid off, my part time jobs hours cut, daughter needed a new car, getting her ready for college and so on... we all know how that goes, save a dollar and spent two. Anyhow things are looking up. I'll still go another summer with out a bike, but should be able to save a nice bit of change. Now lately I've been having thoughts about going back to an HD Ultra and I"m not really sure why. I know the RSV is more comfy and more roomy then the ultra, I know the RSV is water cooled and can go three time the miles over HD'S air cooled motor. i know the RSV is shaft drive vs HD's belt drive. I know a new RSV has a five year warranty over HD's one year, and I know I can pick up a two or three year old venture with low miles for around $10,000 to $12,000. What I don't know is why I'm having these bad thoughs of going back to HD!!! Maybe it's because the wife thinks HD is the way to go.?Mabey it's because Yamaha refuses to update? Or maybe it HD's six speed trans, or thier cd player? I just know I need help before the powers of the darkside take over! '
  18. What about harley's ultra classic? Only 2 cylinders, steel frame, stanard air shocks, no ABS (unless up graded), air cooled. And yet the msrp is around $21,000. Some say the name "HARLEY" is worth several thousand it self! I"m still on the fence about that.
  19. +1
  20. I just don't like the looks of the Kaw.:confused24:
  21. There's a black and red at the dealer here in Defiance, OH

    Speed Traps

    Now listen, I would not call ALL of them speed traps! I've patrolled in Antwerp and currently in Hicksville Ohio. The speed limit is clearly posted in both location several times over. It just boils down to paying attention to you driving!!
  23. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! MAYBE THIS WILL BE THE YEAR OF A NEW BIKE AND A FEW MEET AND EATS! If I’m lucky!
  24. This is excatly what I was looking for! Thanks:banana:
