At the bottom of your screen, click on "forum". Then click on the specific forum that you want to post in. At the upper right, is a square with a curved arrow in it. Click on that and you will see the option "New Topic".

Probably stock tires. They come with either Dunlop or Bridgestone. Most people here HATE the Bridgestone and the the fronts seem to cup very easily and make a lot of howling noises in the curves.

You know what a cell phone is. I remember it from maintenance day. It kept ringing and somebody had to show you how to answer it.

HEY...it's been TWO years since I've been in the pond.

That globe thing is a custom add-on. It is not part of the orginal VBulletin software. I have found that for it to work reliably, you need to put your city and state in the "city" field. It doesn't look at the "state/province" drop down field so if you only have your city in the city field, it is not consistent. For example, in the city field for mine I have "Oberlin, OH" instead of just Oberlin. In spite of the fact that "OH" is selected in the State field.

Your own post wouldn't show up. You post it and then it opens and shows your post so it is already marked as read. Therefore, it would not show up under "new posts".

I would be more inclined to think that the ignition switch is going bad. There are instructions in the tech library on how to bypass it. I would try that first to at least eliminate that possibility.

Yes, that is the way it should work.

OK folks, I ask you to do something for me. Try it this way for 3 or 4 more days and if you truly don't get used to it or just don't like it, I'll change it back. This is a much more accurate way of marking what you have done but in the end, it's more important what YOU like. Gary, Venturerider.org has a home page. Your VMAX site does not have a home page. When you go to their site, you go straight to the forum. You can do the exact same thing here by going to http://www.venturerider.org/forum Just go to that link and then add it to your bookmarks and you are doing the same thing you do there. Then there is the same shortcut that you are talking about in the menu bar that says "New Posts". You can go directly to that page if you prefer by simply adding THIS link to your bookmarks: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/search.php?do=getnew That link will take you to the same "new posts" messages that you see at your vmax forum and there will be NO "More" button. You are simply confusing our Home Page with their Forum. Their forum and this forum basically work the exact same way and I THINK they are using the same "thread read" marking system that I have it set to now. As for the links on the page that you are talking about. Those take you to the home page as they should. If you want to return directly to the forum, don't click those links. click the link in the menu bar of the forum that says "Forum". It's at the far left of the lower menu bar at the top of the page. It's at the far left of the menu bar at the bottom of the page after you post a message.

That's the same thing as clicking "New Posts" from the menu bar at the top of the forum. If that's what you want to do, just bookmark this page: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/search.php?do=getnew

vmaxforum doesn't really have a HOME page. You go straight to the forum. You can do that here if you want to. Just set http://www.venturerider.org/forum as the link to the site here. The listing on the home page were never really intended to be used as the main page of the forum, just a list of what is happening. I also come straight to the forum when I log in.

Heck....Zed Zed Top was a GREAT band.

You are the ONLY person who has ever even mentioned the more button. I'm not even sure what is wrong with it. When I click on more, it opens a menu at the bottom so you can advance to more pages.

27mm or 1 1/16" will also worth I think. I picked up a 27mm at Sears last week.

Those of you who don't like it, how are you using the forum. Are you selecting "New Posts" from the upper menu bar or using Today's Posts? New Posts seems to work best.

PayPall sent for two patches. Thanks Monty.

That is fantastic.

Years ago when I lived in Texas and did a lot of deer hunting, I used to pull a camper behind my truck with an 8 ft. utility trailer behind the camper to carry my ATV when going to our deer lease. It was no problem unless I needed to back up. Tried to make sure I never had to.

Some of you were able to meet member Dan Monday at my maintenance day. He was there with is wife and son. I got this message from him a few days ago and decided I should share it with you all. Please keep him, his son and family in your prayers. Sorry this has taken a while to get to, but some issues came up. First and foremost I would like to say thank you for not only opening your home to myself, my wife and my son; but also for giving me the chance to meet a excellent group of riders that I hope to get to know better as time goes on. We greatly enjoyed ourselves and learned more about motorcycles that day than almost any other time. Your event sparked my sons interest to looking into motorcycle mechanics. As soon as we left we knew it was an event we would love to make an annual run. Now onto the bad part, sadly my wife passed away Friday from a combination of a stroke and an aneurysm. It was one of those things completely out of the blue and she didn't feel any pain. I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my wife one of the most enjoyable days of her life visiting the event. She loved every bit of that day and that's all she talked about the last days of her life was how much she enjoyed herself and couldn't wait to attend it again. She never smiled like she did when she was on the bike, and that day was by far her favorite day of riding she had.

Yes, just click on "Quick Links" in the second menu bar at the top....for right side just beside "Log Out". From the drop down menu, click on "mark forums read".

I just changed how the forum marks posts that you have read and not read. We will try it for a while and see if you like it better. The difference is that it will no longer time out and mark threads as being read even if you haven't read them. If you logout or are away for an extended period of time, The posts you didn't get too will still show up as "unread". The downside is that it will now show all as "unread" until you mark them read. So it will appear screwed up for now but I THINK you will like it better once you get everything caught up. There is a time limit on unread posts. If you don't read them within 10 days, they will be marked as read. It assumes that if you haven't read them by then, you don't want to.

Not just motorcyclists, pedestrians also. I spent a month there on business a few years ago. We had a pretty long drive to the business where I was working each day. Several times I would see dead bodies on the side of the road. My company supplied driver told me that it was very common. They would try to cross the street and get hit by cars. It happens so often that they would just be covered with sheets and later in the day, a crew would come by and load them up and take them away.

HEY...you trying to jinx me?

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........that was going to be a surprise.

Saturday or Sunday either one would be best.
