Fantastic.

OK...the new award has been added. I did use the image a couple of posts up that most seemed to favor. I resized it and made it a transparent gif file but it didn't turn out all that well. It will do until I or one of you can make it look better. It is uploaded and ready to go though. Now I set this one so that people cannot request it on behalf of another member. There may be those that do not wish to be identified for one reason or another so it is entirely up to you to request it if you would like to be recognized and honored. To request this award, just click on "rewards" in the menu bar at the top of the page. Then scroll down until you see the "First Responder" award. To the right of the image you will see "request award". Whether you request it or would rather remain anonymous, thank you so much for your service.

Resizing it is not an issue. If that is the one that the majority like, I do too, then I will get it added this evening.

Are you wanting to lower the front, back or both? Here are some basic instructions on lowering the front: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?939-Lowering-the-Front-End Now here are some instructions for RAISING the rear. Lowering would be pretty much the same process except you would need longer links instead of shorter. You will also need a caliper relocating kit. The only one that I know of is made by Baron's. It comes with the links and the relocation bracket for the caliper. Installation would be the same as this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?492-Leveling-Links-Raising-the-Rear-of-the-RSV

I should also add that there is no need to get extremely detailed. Look at the size of the icons in our posts. They are very small. If you click and go to the users profiles they are linked to some that are bigger but still not huge.

I guess it depends on what you want to use it for but you can create a YouTube account for free and uploading the videos is very easy.

Sure...use whatever you want. I always use something similar and it does seem to weed out a lot of the spammers. Plus the people who want to lowball me and tell me what it's worth.

I like it but does it also reflect the police officers? As for the thought that some may not want it, that's fine. It will NOT be issued without the person requesting it.

OK....this is pretty cool. I know it's not a motorcycle but I tell you....this is pretty cool. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2016/07/28/polaris-pops-t-top-on-slingshot-three-wheeler/

After I sold the boat back in the spring, I knew that I many as well sell the 3/4 ton Avalanche that I bought last fall. I had procrastinated though because even though I didn't need it at all since selling the boat, I really liked it and had a hard time finding it when I was searching for one. Yesterday I finally decided that I needed to get rid of it. It was sitting out by the green house and I probably hadn't put a thousand miles on it since I bought it. So I pulled it around to the driveway, gave it a half decent wash job, vacuumed it out, took some pictures and put it on Craigslist. Got a call first thing this morning with a guy wanting to come look at it. He and his wife showed up, took it for a drive, and bought it. Now I saw a discussion here earlier about what people put in their Craigslist ads. Other than the description, I added: Spammers, don't waste your time. I will not ship it. I will not accept your wired bank funds or your phony cashiers checks. I've heard all the scams and you are wasting your time. Show up at my house and be prepared to pay cash if you are interested in buying it. I also added. Yes, I know that the KBB and NADA say that the value is less than I am asking. I know that I am MUCH higher than what they say. I would recommend that if you find a 3/4 ton Avalanche with these miles and in this condition for what they say they are worth that you buy it immediately and don't waste time trying to negotiate me down to that price. I've have it priced for what it is worth to me. Well I tell you, there was very little negotiating today. He made me an offer that was close to what I was asking. I turned it down and came back with an offer that was VERY close to what I was asking. He bought it. I just deleted the Craigslist ad and it said that it was posted 23 hours ago. About as quick as I've ever sold anything I guess. I didn't need it but will miss it. Just made no sense to hang onto it though.

OK...but I don't want to turn this into a political fight. Just want to honor those that are out there watching out for us. So lets keep the suggestions coming.

Here are a few more that I found.

I would like to add a new award to honor our members who are active or retired members of law enforcement. There are just too many different divisions for me to try and select icons for police, sheriff, FBI, state, etc. So I want to come up with just ONE icon that will be generic for all law enforcement personnel. I was thinking about this one but if you have better suggestions, I'm open to discussion.

I had the same experience as Gary. While on a trip to Colorado one year on the '99, we had a couple days of very hard rain. The display started acting strange and then it finally stopped working. Once the sun came out and it was hot for a couple of days, everything starting working as it should again.

Probably not the issue but there are two fuses that affect the radio. One under the left side cover, the other inside the right lower.

I really like the looks of that wheel on our bike and I've found a few on the market but none that I've found come with the rotors or those covers. Add the price of the rotors and covers and they get expensive real fast. Still keeping my eyes open for a fair deal.

In our prayers too my friend. Pray that it is completely successful and side affects are very minimal. Keep us posted please.

and I keep telling that I just CAN'T PAINT CHROME. That's blasphemous I tell you.

LOL....I don't even remember when I got it. It's been at least a couple of months though. Yea, I've about decided to just leave the Harley mirrors on it and let the jokes begin.

WOW....really sorry to hear about the accident but thankful that you are both recovering. We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. If there is to be another bike, you will know it when the time is right.

It does in Ohio.

Always check the "Read Only" Tech Library for such articles. Here's the one on splitting the fairing. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?494-Splitting-the-Fairing

The decal did indeed say sportster. I just assumed that he had added the decal because he mounted it on a Sportster, shows what I know.

I don't know. I was trying to remember what brand it looked like. I knew it wasn't Windjammer. Thanks for reminding me. It was driving me nuts.

To answer the question after all this time, no, it can not be turned off. It is either enabled for all or for none. Sorry, that's just the way it works. I understand that some don't like it but I think that the majority find it useful.
