How sweet it is..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

One year registration here in Ohio is $28.87 on my '99. Liability insurance is about $75.00 a year. So....total is 103.87 per year.

Loved it. Good friends having good times. That's what it is all about. Fantastic choice of tunes also.

Thank you Miles. I'm glad you like them. When I first had them made a few years ago, the cost of having the custom mold made and etc. was fairly expensive. I didn't know if it was worth it or not but I'm glad now that I did it.

I have XM in the Avalanche, Sirius in my wif'es Crossfire, XM through my Garmin 665 that I move between my company Caravan and the bike. I also have an Sirius unit connected to the home stereo. That being said, we have come to prefer Pandora to satellite radio. We use Pandora about 99% of the time in the house. The problem with Pandora is exactly what Brian said. At the house, it is connected via WIFI so uses no data on the cell phones but when you get on the road, you start using data. If you have a limited data plan, it can go through it pretty quickly. Now my phone has unlimited date as it is grandfathered in from when Verizon had the unlimited data. My wife's phone does not however. You have to be careful with that. We still use the satellite radios most of the time when traveling. I'm going to cancel the unit that is in the house though.

Well I have good news and I have bad news. The good news is that all your bells were indeed shipped a few minutes ago so hopefully they will be in your hands soon. The bad news is just for our International members. Unfortunately shipping has gone WAY up since the last time I shipped bells. If you have ordered then you are fine, I am not asking for nor will I accept any extra money from you. If you didn't get in on this shipment though, unfortunately the price is going up a decent bit if you are in Canada. Shipping the bells to our USA members cost about $2.25 on average. Shipping to Canada cost me $7.35 on average. I was charging a dollar extra for our Canadian members and that almost covered it the last time I did this. I didn't realize how much it had gone up. So, I am having to change the pricing for the bells for our Canadian members and I am sorry that is the case. Bells, including shipping to Canada, will now cost $19.00 each as opposed to the old price of $15.00. Actually I'm going to take another look at it though. These prices are actually for one bell. I can probably reduce it a bit for two or more.

What do I think? I think that I am fully capable of getting into enough trouble without the help of you clowns.

I'm sorry to say that I think you have misunderstood the information about the plugs. I don't think there is anyway that they can cause you to get oil in your coolant. Unfortunately, I think you have a much bigger problem. I'm not even sure that your Royal Star has those plugs, I don't know for sure but all the posts I've seen here about them has been in regards to the Royal Star Venture. Hopefully somebody else will come up with a simpler explanation but my first thought is a bad head gasket.

Yea, maybe I should have tried the YouTube route. I thought I was getting close. I did get a letter back from her people. At first glance...I thought it said that she wanted to go walking but apparently it said something about STALKING? What is that all about?

OK folks, I got the Guardian Bells on Monday and have been sitting here in my hotel room addressing the packages and getting them ready to mail. They will go out first thing tomorrow morning. Sorry it took me a couple days longer than I expected. I still have extras should any of the rest of you want them. Just check the VentureRider Merchandise forum for ordering info.

Hey..I may actually have a backup plan to the backup plan but I'm going to keep THAT one my little secret. Now you don't be buying any presents for me. I'm all good here.

Good...then everything is OK again. Well...we COULD give away your bike...

Geezzzz....the classic Steamer CYOA. Every man for himself.

I never said that I wasn't happy....and besides...that kind of made me a little happy.

Yea...we have met her...there isn't a court in the nation that would find you guilty of anything. oops...did I say that out loud?

Hey camping is FUN. Just hope it warms up a bit.

DUH...backup plan...have you never heard of a backup plan?

Ruffy, I know that Skydoc has one that he loans out if you buy the valve cover gaskets from him. You might want to check with him to see where it is and when it might be available.

I am 58 years old and one thing that I fully understand is that I will NEVER understand women. So it all started innocently enough. My wife has been wanting a Gazebo for some time now. So a couple of months ago, I decided to have one built for her. It was built by a guy down near Columbus, OH. It has been finished for a while but weather and the fact that my yard has been wet had delayed having it delivered. So yesterday it was finally delivered and Eileen loves it. So this morning I got a sweet text from Eileen telling me how much she loves the Gazebo, how much she loves me and how happy I make her. I replied of course that I love her too and that making her happy makes me happy. Then she replied that she wanted me to be more happy and that I have been under too much stress for the past few months. I reassured her that in spite of the stress, I am a generally happy person. BUT...she couldn't let it stop there. The replied that she wanted me so happy that I wake up every morning with something that makes me smile. So...I replied that I was trying very hard to make that happen but that Marrisa Tomei was not returning my calls. hmmmm....this is where I get confused again and don't understand...but apparently she does NOT want me to be happy after all. I just wish she would make up her mind. Go figure.

That's right. You folks just bring me all those used helmets. I WILL sell them on Ebay.

I don't know who is the bigger trouble maker...Eck or Eddie.

Along those lines...connect two of them together, put a strap on it and you have a very durable protective bra for a ...er...well nourished lady.

I agree. Very cool. I used to have a '55 with a 66 Mustang 289 engine and drivetrain. That is one that I wish I had held onto.

If you haven't seen them, here are the instructions and dimensions of the bracket that I was making. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1427

It's always a sad day when any biker goes down. Even more so when it's one of our own. Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a quick and full recovery.
