Freebird

Well I would personally not deal with a company that will charge me a re-stocking fee for THEIR mistake. I probably would not have noticed that fine print and would be plenty miffed about it. A few years ago, I had an Ebay seller try to charge me a re-stocking fee for an item that he didn't have in stock. I had purchased a $3,000.00 generator from a listing that clearly stated "In Stock and Ready to Ship". After I did the buy now, I got an email two days later that said the generators were on back order and it would be at least 60 days. I asked for a refund and was told that there would be a 15% restocking fee if I wanted a refund. I was a bit furious that he was trying to charge me a re-stocking fee for an item that he didn't have stocked to begin with. I filed a case with PayPal and after some bickering back and forth, got a full refund. One thing that saved me was the fact that Ebay policy stated that any items listed had to be available to ship within 30 days so he was violating the Ebay terms anyway. After that, the seller added a note to his ads that stated that due to demand, there would be a 60 - 90 day delay in the shipment of the generators. That was still against Ebay policy so I watched his ads for about 6 months and kept reporting them and they would be removed by Ebay. I finally got tired of messing with him after that.

The VMAX rear is a direct swap IF you get it from the right place. If you just buy a VMAX rear, it is not machined for the speedometer sensor. You either much have it drilled and machine or you have to remove the gears and put them in your RSV housing. Doing that requires some skill that most don't have and also some special tools. I think the best way is to buy it from http://www.rmsportmax.com/ That's where I and many here bought theirs and it is a direct swap.

I agree. Snake Oil. I saw an independent test of these type products and NONE of them did anything. Some actually hurt performance and gas mileage. The test I read was in Popular Science and tested similar products in cars, not motorcycles. The theory was the same though. I agree with this 100%. These changes are the absolute best bang for the buck.

It's only a few weeks away folks and we need to get the food ordered so if you haven't signed up on the calendar for Freebird's Maintenance Day, please do so. I never have an exact count but the closer I can get makes it a lot easier. Here is the link to sign up if you haven't done so. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=337&day=2013-6-8&c=1

Thanks for the heads up. Will be watching for it.

No, he can't make it this year. They have a Colorado trip planned.

Geeeezzzz.....she said "We have a King bed reserved". I wonder how many that could be? A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I enjoyed the video. Very well done.

Folks...this thread is almost a year old. I don't know why the question about Leather Up was tacked onto it but that's OK. Just wanted to point out though that the discussion about MSS is pretty old.

You know...I don't hear the frogs like I used to. I miss hearing them at night. I'm thinking that the snakes have eaten a lot of them.

Patti, No problem if you want to come Wednesday or Thursday. Now remember, YOU were the winner, NOT B2DAD. I don't know where he is planning to stay. I guess we can discuss him staying with you if that's really what you want...but....you need to assure me that he is house broken.

I really like Frog Legs and have eaten them many times. To me though, they do not taste exactly like chicken. They have the same general texture as chicken and taste similar but with a slight fishy taste. At any rate, they are very good.

OK....sorry folks....it was a busy weekend and I sort of forgot. Old age you know. So....I have now drawn the number and we have a lucky winner. Drumroll please.................................................................. B2MOM

LOL...probably not far from the truth.

Not sure. I never noticed that until I looked at the picture later. Not sure if it is rust or mud. Sure is new to be rusting out already.

Had to go to the store this morning and saw this on the way home. I was behind it until it pulled over into that turning lane. The winder actually turned while the car was moving. May have just been the wind turning it because it seemed to be totally random. I know it is fake but it got me thinking, WHY NOT?

It looks very cool. It does NOT look very aerodynamic.

Good to see you again Cindy. We've missed you around here.

I took advantage of that same offer for my 665. I think it was a good deal.

Almost. I plan to draw a winner this weekend. Saturday or Sunday. Still time to get in folks.

I think our feathered friend is pulling our leg. Everybody has heard of Bob Seger. I KNOW you've heard his songs. Heck...ever seen a Chevy Truck commercial "Like a Rock".

This will work. http://www.adobe.com/products/reader.html

We may not be right...but we are NEVER wrong.

Absolutely one of my favorites. Would have love to have been there.

I've got my wife's Garmin NUVI and it says that I'm right here.
