Yes, it is scary how fast things can get ugly. Have to keep your head on a swivel and anticipate everything.

Perfect, thanks.

Got the bike out of the shed, did an oil change, checked all the fluids on the weekend and had the first ride of the season today.....it was a short ride into work but man, it felt good. Now....I forgot the trick to setting the preset radio stations and if I remember correctly, it's not correct in the manual. I know it was explained here once but I can't find that thread. Can someone either direct to that thread of explain it to me ........slowly.........:confused24:

He bought a Yamaha piano!!!

Yo Tooch..........don't keep us waiting!!!! That's just mean.

I'll take one please!!:rotfl:

That looks very nice!

Glad I was able to make it.....lots of faces I haven't seen in a while......some prettier then others........NO Carl..........that's NOT referring to you........thanks for pulling that event together.

Carl....I realize it's last minute but if it's not too late I would like to be added to the list. I just found out the event that I have to go to tomorrow should be done by around 4 or 5 so I can make this dinner. Would also like to bring the Queen along, although she's on crutches right now so not sure if she will be up to it. You know you want me there.....you know you've missed my smiling face and my witty repartee.....

Congrats!

Oh boy........there's soo much one could say........but I won't.

For any of the Ontario crew, my plan is to head down somewhere around supper hour Friday night and then stay at my cousin's place in New York state, and then ride to Freebird's Saturday for the day. Anyone travelling around that time let me know and we can group up.

Am working hard to make it happen.

Would love to be there but I have another event that afternoon that I have to be at.

As if riding isn't dangerous enough with the cagers being distracted....now we're going to distract the riders too!! WOW!

Looks like cabin fever is running rampant here!!!!

PUC.....you know what you're describing here is not possible my friend....it's the medication that your on......next thing you know you''ll be thinking you've been riding a motorcycle again.....Bwahahahahaha. Hail "The Wiz".

I understand wrapping your hand around a tall cold can of a fermented type beverage could expedite the healing process! Heal well buddy.

Puc.....the Wing definitely causes you to "spread 'em" somewhat but my problem was that was having an issue with what called an " I.T" band - that is a long tendon that runs from your knee up the outside of the leg, over the hip and into the lower back area. Mine was tightening up to the point where I thought I needed a new hip. The Wing simply made it worse by not having anywhere to move my feet around while riding due to the engine sticking out the sides. Don't get me wrong, the Wing is a great bike....had all the equipemnt you could ask for, loads of power and super quiet....the problem was more me, not the bike. If it wasn't for that issue, I would probably still be riding that Wing.

Hot Dog?? Did someone offer up a hotdog??????? Fire up the grille.......let's do some dogs.......

Safe travels Amigo! Say hi to those two for me when you see them.

I believe it has probably been done before but since it is crazy cold outside and we're all suffering from cabin fever....how about a thread with pictures of the bikes that we have owned. The first was a 1977 Honda 550-4 cyclinder. Good starter bike...rode it to the Indy 500 in 1979. Then a 1983 Venture.....my first bike bike. Then a 1987 Venture Royale....rode that one to Colorado and back....awesome bike. Changed streams and tried a 2000 Honda Gold Wing.....superb bike but hip issues and the seating position caused me to have to get rid of it. On to my current love......my 2006 Royal Star Venture......love it...great seating position, all the power I need. Love the bike but a little disappointed with Yamaha for things like no tach, tape player, no on board air ride adjustment. Man I can't wait for spring!!

Well said Don. Just sad that it even needs to be said.

From our Venture Rally in Colorado....believe it was 2007....It was the longest ride I have ever done.....and the most enjoyable. Rode with great people, and met a bunch more great people.

OK, let's see if this works.....
