You should be OK on the RSV. My friend that melted his and the wife's Toggs was riding a HD Soft tail.

The wobble can be from a worn tire or the steering head bearings need to be tightened. High way pegs will do the trick for your foot position. You can check the coolant level be removing the right side cover. Buy the bike you won't regret it.

Sorry to hear that Jay.

Yes my friend and his wife found that out real quick. Then did it again on the next set. They do not use them any longer.

I have a Tour master Mesh jacket with a rain liner and it is not worth a dam in steady rain. I got the Tour Master rain gear and haven't been wet yet while using it.

+1 on the silicone on that type gasket. I use it on all the "0" ring gaskets for a better seal.

It is great that you got out for a ride. I have been out a few times for short rides. About 40 or 50 miles round trip. Have a few long trips planed for the tear that will make for some good riding.

:rotf::rotfl: Pay him no mind.

NOW YOU DID IT. Fool will have to put a Hazardous material sticker on the lid.:rotf:

I would not pull it. It would bounce and dart left or right on every bump.

These look good on the rails also. http://s253.photobucket.com/user/slowrollwv/media/2009_0704picsmy0160.jpg.html?sort=3&o=119

You will not have any trouble with clutch and shifting if you have ridden dirt bikes. I don't think you will have any trouble with the weight of the Venture. I am also 5' 10" with 30" inseam. When I bought my 03 from my brother I hadn't been on a bike for 18 years. I did take it easy with it till I was comfortable with it before I let the wife ride with me but that didn't take very long at all.

That is what I started to use after I was told to change destinations to waypoints. Works pretty well for me.

+1 on the grip puppies.

I can't say anything about the CII but I do run the 130 and tow my trailer when needed with out any problems.

That is just about the same way the HD trip planner works, you just have to change the destinations to waypoints if you have more than one stop.

WOW sorry to hear this but glad he will be OK. Heal quickly and prayers headed your way Rick.

The old Indians were dipped and they didn't have a center stand. My uncle had one and he checked it on the side stand. I think it was from the early 40's.

Not intirley true, if the dip stick is set to read full while on side stand.

Very nice Gary. I stopped a Twiggs today and they had one just like yours. I hope you didn't let all that CHROME go with the Venture did you? You know I wanted the rotor covers and maybe the breather covers also.

That's fine with me. Its hot down here and I would like to cool off.

Congrats on the retirement. I can retire at any time now but decided to hold off till next year.

Jay I tried HD trip planer a few years ago. Put a long ride together and it did load on my garmin but in short segments and loaded the device full. Had to go to the next segment when finished with the first. I don't know if things have changed since then or not.

I have this on my PC now but for me it hard to get the hang of it.

I have read this thread a couple times. With all the BSing about a new Venture. I would have more faith in the Fool making it SNOW in FL. tomorrow than Yamaha giving us a decent bike to our liking.
