Had a fellow stop by to pick up one of the Shoei's I have listed on CL, and he rode up on the back of an Indian..... Made my heart go pitter-patter when I saw it.....

I didn't know that.... Just checked the girls and...yep they're only good for 5 years. I guess they do that because of the facial and body changes over a short period of time.....

Nice clean install JB. If my antenna gives up the ghost I probably do the same thing. The only problem I can see is getting the antenna out of the way to put on a cover. -
I'm a big guy too and wear a Fieldshear mesh with a zip out during the summer. Never heard of the brand either until I picked it up off Ebay for a half way decent price. Wore it to and from Ft Collins last year and it was great. Even in 105degs. I'd recommend Fieldshear to anyone. And the price is right. BTW: I got carried away and picked up a few extra new 4x and 5x FMC leather, and Power-Trip Ballistic jackets at an auction. Anyone interested, PM me.... http://www.power-trip.com/products.cfm?products_id=522

I keep telling myself that, but it doesn't do any good......

Looks like one to me, but it could also be a '92. What's the manufacturing date on the decal? Either way, for 300 you did good Lowell..... -
The only way they're doing it is issuing them both at the same time. The bad news is if your's is expired you're gonna have to pay the piper. The good news is that a birth cert. and picture ID will still be good until the end of the year.

Yeah. i guess they want you to prove you actually have one before issuing another, as in the case of the card, a duplicate. If you don't have a passport you can apply for a card and book at the same time.... just costs more. The cards are not available at this time. You can apply for one now, but it'll be a while before you actually get it as they haven't even decided when to print them up yet. That's why I suggested if you already have a passport to hold on to it until they are actually available, or you could be stuck if you need to fly out of the country any time soon. If you don't have a passport, go for it now, but it'll be a while before you get it. Same goes for an expired passport. Apply now....

Thanks for the links Al. Lots of good information, and more than I want to digest in one sitting. I did get into the alcohol report, but didn't see where 50% of all m/c deaths were alcohol related. The Hurt report leans more toward 'Left Hand Louies'. I did see where riders with lower blood/alcohol levels than drivers, with a higher BAL, were more inclined to be involved in an accident. I think the contributing factor is that balance and judgement are effected by alcohol and those are 2 items are the most important when operating a MC.

Oh my....!!! I can hear the dark side calling......

Sometiome this spring the State Dept. will be issuing a passport card that can be used for land and sea travel when intering back into the US. I though for those going to VR II it might be something to think about getting. It might be easier to pull out a card than rummage around for a book. They haven't set an exact date yet as to when they'll be producing the plastic card, just that it'll be spring 2008, and you might want to wait until they actually do as you have to submit your current passport along with the app, and I wouldn't want to be without something. I called to get varification and you will get both a card and a new book. The cost is $20 bucks..... Here's the site to download and print up the app.

The number to the left is the first three digits of the part number and the next is the model it first appeared on. If you go down to the 26H you'll see 1200TD listed after it. Kinda cool. I copied the pics to a file. Another piece of yamaha info that may come in handy down the road... Edit... I have the price list for 2002 in .Pdf format. It covers everything yamaha made, and most of it I can figure out but.... there's a column with A,B,C, D etc. Anyone know what that letter refers to???? 4TV-Y283U-70-3X PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 B 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283U-80-0X PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 B 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283U-L0-P3 PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 B 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283U-M0-4B PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 B 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283U-N0-7X PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 B 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283U-V0-P3 PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 B 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283U-X0-P4 PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 C 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283U-Y0-P3 PANEL ASSEMBLY 1 A 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283V-1A-P3 PANEL ASSEMBLY 2 A 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283V-1B-9X PANEL ASSEMBLY 2 A 1 322.14 197.71 4TV-Y283V-1F-P3 PANEL ASSEMBLY 2 N 1 366.42 219.85 4TV-Y283V-1G-1Y PANEL ASSEMBLY 2 O 1 366.42 219.85 4TV-Y283V-1J-P3 PANEL ASSEMBLY 2 P 1 366.42 219.85

On this subject....sorta. Wasn't there a data base that show'd part numbers, and what bike and years they would fit?? A cross reference?? Man, something like that, available on the board, would be awsome. I thought there was someone selling on Ebay that had it available on CD, but I haven't noticed a listing for quite a while....

You can get big swings in percentages when dealing with smaller isolated numbers. As an example, a 73% increase in 4 deaths is close to 7, and a 25% decrease from 10 deaths is around 7. Percents don't give you a true picture unless your dealing with larger amounts on a nationwide basis. Using a percentage based on small numbers usually is done for sensationalism, and when someone is trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill when trying to prove a point.......

Interesting facts Al. Can you post a few links where we can find this information?

Here's a link. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/02/27/state/n103701S80.DTL

Interesting. Wonder what that's going to do to the price of the Wing. One of the reasons they are built in the US is to circumvent the added import/duty excise tax on anything over 650 or 750cc's... can't remember which one it is???
-
I'd check the charging circutry. I'm thinking that if the noise quiets down when an increased load it put on the system that it might be stator or rectifier related. Possibly a ground wire that's worn thru and the current is using the frame to complete the circut??? Or the antenna shield is shorted to the frame somewhere. Years ago we used to get a lot of plug popping or alternator whine in the CB's and an inline frequency choke in the power leads usually cured the problem.??

If you need to look at it that way I guess it's a difference between 'the will of God', and 'freewill' and which one you choose......

Yep, I just don't want to be waving my hand around yelling 'Here I am.....'

I respect your opinion Bill, and it's a good one, but..... let me play devil's advocate a bit here. I think all super bike riders are susceptible to catastrophic injury when speed is thrown into the mix. Ride a ZX-14 at realistic speeds, and they are no more dangerous, and probably a lot safer, than a Venture would be under the same circumstances. I would say that professional super bike riders are some of the most experienced and talented riders on the planet, but it seems like every year a death occurs. Here's a link to the deaths since 1980. So in my opinion any experienced street super bike rider, no matter how tallented...or not, will push the envelope, and when they do the odds of dieing are increased beyond acceptable limits. The old saying 'speed kills' couldn't be more appropriate here.

To each his own I guess. When I'm running down the highway I wish I had one more gear above 5th... Don't do burn outs... can't afford the tires. Don't need to beat anyone off the line... Don't need to prove anything. I'd rather mooch along and enjoy the scenery.
