I will say this. Yammer Dan will NEVER be able to outrun me. He doesn't know where I installed the remote module that shuts his bike down.

I won't go into a long diatribe here but will just confirm that it has nothing to do with the money. I have said before and will say again, it would not be my desire for anybody to ever leave here over the lack of 12.00. I have extended free memberships to several people once I found out that they were having financial issues. I even told this guy that if it was about the money that I would pay it for him. The money was not an issue for him or for me.

No problem. I was slow because I did it wrong the first time.

Yes, was adding pictures.

OK folks. For this years VentureRider International Rally we have decided to once again raffle a motorcycle trailer for our grand prize. More information regarding how to purchase your tickets will be coming soon but here is the trailer that we will be raffling. Alumna MCT Color: Black Lockable Lid Cooler Tray with Tie Loops Aluminum Construction 13.4 Cubic Feet 600# Rubber Torsion Axle LED Lighting These are great little trailers and a number of our members own then and can testify to their quality.

Of course not. That is just crazy talk.

Let me nip that in the bud right now. Nobody here owes me an apology. I have no problem at all with all the ribbing and jokes. There are those here who truly don't care for Harley and that is fine too. Most are just giving me a hard time and I have no problem with that. I laugh right along with you.

For the past few hours, I've had a heated debate with myself as to whether or not to post this but I can't let it go so here it is. Last night, I had an email exchange with a previous member that hit me pretty hard. Maybe I'm too sensitive to such things and need to grow some thicker skin but if what he says has any validity, then I need to take it seriously. I told him that he was full of crap but after thinking about it, I know that wasn't the proper response. If I am guilty of such a thing, I want to know it. Now I sent this guy an email because he had been very active and then just went away. I was concerned that perhaps he had health issues, been in a wreck or something like that and was concerned. I do care about the members here and such things bother me at times. His reply set me back though. What he told me was that he did not renew him membership because he got sick of me bad mouthing the Yamaha since I bought my Harley. Now I have to tell you. I have tried to be very careful about even mentioning my bike here because I didn't want anybody to get the impression that I felt that it was a superior bike or that I was superior because I'm riding a Harley at this time. I have been asked a couple of times to voice my comparisons between the two and have done so. When I have done so, I have tried to be completely honest and not critical of either bike. He stated that my comments were a slap in the face to the members here. I'm not going to go into all of it again but I have said that there are things about both bikes that I like and things that I dislike. The fact is, I love the RSV and rode mine for almost 13 years. The fact that I owned it that long says a lot because I have never owned a vehicle of any kind for anywhere near that length of time. I was ready for something different and Yamaha didn't offer anything different at this time so I went with something else. The bottom line is that I have no desire or reason to bad mouth the RSV or any other bike. It has taken no great effort on my part to NOT bad mouth them because I have no such feelings and no reason to. I may very well own another one at some point. So basically, if I have given anybody that impression, I want to offer my sincere apology. I have wracked what little bit of a brain I have trying to figure out what and when I would have said such a thing and I honestly don't know of a single time. I do like my Harley but one of my regrets is ever selling the RSV. I wish I could have kept them both and I can assure you that at least on a hot day, I would rather be on the RSV. One of the first things I did was to mount my flag pole on the Harley and proudly fly my VentureRider flag.

OK folks, the VR Assistance list is functional at this time. You can use it from your computer or you can print it out. If you want a printed list, you need to choose landscape mode for your printer and then each row should fit on a single page. It may make the phone numbers two rows but should work. If you have legal sized paper and choose landscape mode, I think it will print as shown. I realize that it really needs to be sortable by state/province to make it easier to use. That is a feature that I will continue to work on but it has proven to be more difficult than I expected. I will find a way though. In the meantime, you can print out individual lists for each state or for the states you are in if you choose to. You simply need to use the "Advanced" search function to create your own list. You simply go to the VR Assistance list. On the far right side you will see a link that says "Search Members". NOT the "Advanced Search" at the top but the small link that says "Search Members" under the row of letters. Click on "search members" and then click the "advanced search" in the box that opens. From the advanced search page, scroll down and select the state or province from the drop down menu in the "State Province" field. The scroll down and choose "Yes" in the VR Assistance field. Once you have chosen the state/province and "yes" for VR Assistance, click "search now" at the bottom right and you will get a list of people who offer assistance in that area. You can print just that page and take it with you. Do that for all the states that you will be traveling through and that gives you a list sorted by states. As I said, I will continue to work on a method to sort the entire list by state/province but for now, your options are to download the complete list that is sorted by username or to create and print your own lost sorted by individual locations. Now I can create the main/unsorted list and post it as a .pdf file if that is helpful. It is very simply for me to do if you need that. It will not be sorted by state though.

I doubt that I'll "spiff up" any of the other colors. Two reasons, it is a real pain in the but to do and also it does slow you down due to all the images and etc. that have to load.

No, I'm sorry but it's not. It's two entirely separate programs.

I edited this post to remove the "for sale" part. Ads are not allowed in the forums.

Yes, that's another thing. If your item sells, please mark it sold. You can't delete your own ad but if you mark it sold, it will automatically delete itself after a couple of days. To mark your ad sold, simply go to your ad. At the upper right will be a link that says "Product Options". Click on that and then select "SOLD" from the dropdown menu.

I just took the time to move a lot of classifieds ads to the proper categories. Several people had posted parts for sale in the First Gen and Second Gen motorcycle category when they should have been posted in the First Gen Parts and Second Gen parts categories. I moved them because I realize that maybe it was not clear. I've added "COMPLETE BIKES ONLY" to the motorcycle categories. So I admit that maybe it wasn't clear and took the time to move all the ads to the correct place. Now that is IS clear though, I will not move them in the future and will just delete them. Also please do not cross-post the same ad in different categories unless you are selling more than one item. For example, somebody is selling replacement keys and offers them for first gen, second gen, etc. so that is acceptable to post in both places. Thanks for your consideration. It just makes it easier for folks to find what they are looking for.

And what the heck are you doing with the smilies? I haven't seen that happening with anybody else.

I turned off the automatic tagging a couple days ago. How long since you tried? That area is the same as any other. If you get that error there, you would get it trying to post it in any other area.

I just looked at your settings. You didn't do what I asked you to. If you go to your Settings, General Settings you will find that you still have it set to red. You need to change it there to the color that you want. That will ensure that it is the right color once you login. As for why it's logging you out? The only explanation is that your system is deleting the cookie when you leave the page. That is in your browser security settings.

Please note that this thread is from 2008. I think Juggler sold his bike and hasn't been around for a long time.

I got notice that the decals have shipped. I don't think I will get them until probably Tuesday. As soon as I get them, I will get them out to you who have ordered. I ordered plenty of extras so you can still order if you want them.

They are telling you correctly. You have your browser set to not save cookies. First of all, you shouldn't log out when you leave the site. Just leave, it will show you idle after a set amount of time. Make sure you have the "remember me" box checked. Even if you do though, it stores the cookie to remember you on YOUR computer so if your security settings are set to delete cookies, that is why it doesn't remember you. As for the color, go to "settings" at the upper right of the screen. Scroll down until you see "general settings" in the left menu. Click on that and then scroll down that main page until you see "misc. settings". Make sure you have your color checked there. You can't turn off the popping sound. I thought I disabled them for everybody but if you are still hearing them, I guess my turning them off didn't work.

Just did a software update on the site. No new features, just a security update. Let me know if you find something messed up.

OHHHH....sorry...I didn't read your post very well. I was looking for a post here.

I don't see anything from a couple weeks ago. The last thing I see is October 27th and his membership has expired.

I almost agree with you but not quite. If it is too long and not threaded all the way down then it COULD be too long unless you have the means to thread it.
