We are about ready for all you hooligans. It's always a busy spring around here getting ready for Maintenance Day but I think we are ready. We are sitting on the front porch having a little drink and relaxing and just talking about how different things are going to look here in less than 2 weeks now. We are really looking forward to hosting all our old friends and hopefully some new ones.

I just posted a thread in the testing area. I dug out a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 7.0 that I have never used for anything. I had no problem at all posting the thread and uploading a picture. I did not use Tapatalk or any other additional software. Just the system and browser that came installed on the Galaxy. Sorry but it wasn't unfriendly at all for me. It worked just exactly as it does when I post from my computer. I guess I need some more details to understand exactly what it happening.

I don't know. Maybe he feels that I lowballed him and maybe I did. I did the research and felt that he was a little high for a 2002 model. He was asking 12,900. I offered him 11,500 and figured at the worse that he would come back with a counter offer and maybe I would consider it. The 3/4 tons are a bit harder to find in decent condition but on the other hand, there aren't a lot of people looking for 8 MPG Avalanches. Most would just go with a 4 door truck if that is what they need.

Thanks Rick. If anybody else has a Carbtune or sync device that they can bring, it would be very helpful. I have mine to a friend and he is supposed to drop it off before MD but if he doesn't, I won't have one.

You might try TapaTalk. It is installed here and may work better for you. I will look at it a little closer when I get home from my business trip. I can tell you that it seems to work OK with the iPad that my wife uses. I have a Samsung of some sort at home. I'll have a look with it when I get home.

Apparently not. I actually emailed the guy and made him an offer. He must have felt insulted because he didn't even respond. I waited a few days and sent him another email asking what he WOULD take and he again never replied. Oh well.

One other thing. How much air are you both running in the rear shock?

I actually put the boat in the water last weekend. Had a friend tow it to Huron Lagoons Marina in Huron, OH. Eileen and I took it out for a couple hours cruise before getting it acquainted with it's new slip for the summer. Ran great....knock on wood.

If it is a '92, it is a 1300. Either he is wrong about the year, wrong about the engine size, or it has been swapped. Congrats anyway. Sounds like you got a fantastic deal.

Sorry, not that I know of. The only vendor that I know of that has said they are attending is the pinstriper.

Actually, I don't think you CAN adjust it when moving. It only works with the key in the accessory position.

OK folks...I hope to get a final count here over the next day or two. This does not mean that you aren't welcome to show up if you find that you are able to at the last minute but at least need to get it close because we have to order food soon. If you are planning to come, PLEASE RSVP on the calendar at: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=437&day=2015-5-30&c=1 If you signed up yes and now know that you can't make it, please go there and remove your name. If you are signed up "MAYBE". Please update your status if you now know that you can or can't make it. Thanks

You should absolutely feel the difference. The only thing I can think of is that somebody in the past had already installed a VMax drive. Of course I'm basing my opinion on the 2nd Gen. The first gen is already a lower ratio than the second gen.

Paul, I hope that somebody here has some information for you. I know you well enough to know that it was hard for you to post this. It sounds like the device that you are asking about is not extremely well known but this is a very diverse group so hopefully somebody has some experience with it or knows somebody who does. In the meantime, we will continue our prayers. Folks, I don't know that any of you have met Paul in person but he is one of the good ones. You just never know who you will meet through this forum but we met Paul and his wife Julie probably a year ago. He bought a RSV and found this forum and it turned out that he only lives a few miles down the road from us. They are great people and it truly hurts me to know what he is going through now. If you know anything about what he is asking, please speak up. If you don't, please keep him in your prayers.

OK...I'm getting old. One of our Canadian members told me that he was sending a check for membership renewal. I marked him paid but I know I only marked him paid for one year and he send money for two years. I knew the check was coming but now can't remember who it was and I can't figure out the username. Please let me know if it was you so that I can add the other year. On that note. PLEASE include your forum name if you send a check for membership renewal or anything else. Thanks

I don't think it's a bad idea but on the other hand, it's not that hard to find specific articles in the Read Only Technical Libraries. A glossary would certainly add to it and I'm not against it, just not sure that I will take the time to do it. Are you volunteering?

I can only say this for sure. If it's an air cooled Twin, I already have one. I see no reason to trade for another. I really do love the Road Glide. If it's a version of the new VMax engine.....then there is at least some possibility I could end up on a new Venture.

No reason to wait. I've already found it for you. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/4998378773.html

You are right. Sorry, I didn't look at the year model right. I thought it was the older Royal Star.

Has anybody put a RSV engine in a Royal Star? If it could be done, now would be the time.

Saw this on Walter Sitt's Facebood page. Does this sum up our site or what?

Don't read too much into that. Most of it is due to the way it is set to time people out. I haven't looked but I haven't reset the timeout since installing the new software and it is shorter. In other words, when you leave, it logs you out after a certain period of time. That time used to be set longer. That could make it look like people were still online that had already left.

Get your wish and I'll probably be back on a Venture. As long as the keep the RSV ergonomics.

Great story and great new avatar. Good look with the rest of the project.
