The accident happened on Dec 3 We don't seem to have any after effects We shut down the 401 highway for about an hour for the police and ambulances to clean up mess. Four hours later we were in the Caribbean self medicating with rum. The airport people put or luggage in plastic bags for us to keep them intact. It was a little difficult to get our luggage out of the trunk in the first place. dale

Had four people in the car on our way to the airport. Nobody hurt other than stiff necks. Not a scratch on anybody,still made it to airport to catch our flight. Not sure how insurance will work out just glad to be alive dale

This thread is very interesting to me as I'am sitting in India right know having brought my son over for a procedure not available in canada or the US. The hospital is one of the top tourist hospitals in India and I can tell you it does not remind you of a resort,but the care is good and the Dr's are very good I had to have root canal when I got home so I had two done here the total cost is under 400 for both. A xray and consultation cost with a dentist is a little under 4 dollars. The denist room would never be acceptable in Canada but so far the work seems good. There are patients from all over the world here for different procedures. All I can say is it's a real eye opener over here. There are more motorcycle and scooters here than any city in the world and I would dare anyone to drive a RSTD or Venture in this traffic

I changed my stock tires to elite 3 with the 130 on the front. I put 2800 miles this winter in Arizona and my 2006 Rstd fells like a different bike. I did lots of interstate riding and didn't mind the feel. It could be partially that the elites are just better tires but I will not be going back to a 150 at this time Dale

Try running with 25-30lbs air in the rear shock I thought it made a diffence in ride. It's really not that hard to let it back out if you don't like it

Is there a shorter person with mustang or ultimate
dkip replied to wrongway2's topic in Watering Hole
I didn't find alot of height difference the mustang seat seem's a bit wider so it makes it seem like your a bit further from the ground but not really noticable -

I have a mustang seat on a 2006 rstd and my passenger likes it much better than stock I also prefer it to stock can spend longer time in saddle in comfort It does seem to move you ahead a bit on the bike not that this is a bad thing I actually like the riding position -
Same thing happened to me with nearly new tires Pulled the screw and plug it myself.Ijust check the pressure on a regular basis as you should anyways. Mine is still holding good after 3000 miles I dont worry about the plug anymore than getting a flat when driving than from any other hazzard dkip
