Yea, like that has ever slowed you down. Her being there sure makes having to put up with you a bit more bearable though.

MIles, don't expect any east coast lingo from the host. I am born and bred Texan and speak nothing but Texas Hick.

Just a reminder that the free shipping for the saddlebag lid covers is still in effect until March 31st. Nancy reminded me of this yesterday and just thought I would post a reminder here. http://www.acehighleathers.com/motorcycle/other-cool-stuff/

I demand a fair trial before such punishment.

Only 73 people signed up so far. I know it's early but we can do better than that. Come on folks....let's make this a big one. Please RSVP on the calendar as soon as you know that you can attend. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=337&day=2013-6-8&c=1

LOL...I think that EVERYTHING makes you think about that. BUT...do you need any help?

OHHHHHHH.....you are SOOOOO wrong. We have Krispy Kreem here and they are fantastic.

Folks, I have lived in Oberlin for about 14 years now and I can tell you that it is one of the safest places I have ever been. You can see young people of all color and race walking around this small time most any time. The crime rate is very low. Oberlin College is one of the most liberal in the nation and have a very large mix of people of all nationalities. I am sure that this is one or two young men who are too stupid to understand the ramifications of their actions. I have read that two male students have already been identified and expelled from the campus. I think that this is being blown our of proportion. The only reason it is news is because it is indeed Oberlin College and this type of thing is virtually unheard of. Put this in perspective, think about any mid sized to major size city in the United States and there are probably more racist acts per minute than what has happened in this case. It's just that it happened in a very small town that hosts a very liberal college so it is news. It will be over with as quickly as it started.

When I was in my early teens, I lived across the street from a guy who won a couple of national championships and was an Olympic Archer. I don't know that any of you have ever heard of him but his name was Hardy Ward. His dad was our boy scout leader at the time also. I spent many hours watching him practice. I guess it would have been in the mid 60's.

LOL....that would actually be a pretty cool phone.

It is a cool looking badge but I've never seen it either.

TapaTalk is installed on the forum and you can download the app from the app store.

Just a reminder folks. Do NOT mention the word Raffle or anything like that if you use PayPal to purchase your tickets. Ebay considers that gambling and will shut down the PayPal account.

Forms have been updated so there is now a place for name and email.

Thanks to our great planning committee, the 2013 International Rally Forms are now available for download. You may download them from the first post of the International Rally Forum here. Both files are the same except that one is in Microsoft Word format and the other a PDF file for those who do not have Word. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=708348#post708348

Well maybe we need to talk to Big Tom and see if his shirt people have any interest. I'm really not interested in offering standard RSV, RSTD, etc. caps and products. Only VentureRider.org branded items. His vendor may be interested though if there is enough interest.

Freebird sees all but ignores some. Actually, we have a guy that does the hats for us. You can check the merchandise forum and send him a PM to see if he is interested in doing it.

Well, my opinion is that none of these products are needed as a gas additive at every fill up. The gas today does leave something to be desired but if you are riding your bike enough to keep the gas fresh, today's has has plenty of additives, detergents, etc. to keep your fuel system clean. The problems occur when your bikes sits for a long enough time that the gas gets old. If that is the case, then some type of stabilizer will prevent most problems and you will not get to the point of needing to actually soak the carbs due to them being gummed up. My bike is now 14 years old. I have never used additives on a per tank basis. I have used various products when I knew the bike would be sitting, for example over the winter. I use one can to a full tank of gas before pretty much putting the bike away for the winter. I usually add one more can sometime in early spring or summer just to make sure anything that MAY have started gumming up is cleaned out and that is it. Two cans a year. Now for the past 5 years or so, the product that I've used has indeed been Seafoam and it has worked just fine. I am sure the Techron work OK too though. KNOCK ON WOOD...in 14 years, I've not needed any carb maintenance, have not had a float stick, etc. I did pull my carbs a couple of years ago to check and set the float levels and they looked great on the inside.

If you are asking if that is a replacement for the RSV, then I would say no. It is a nice bike but certainly would not compete in the true touring market. Nice looking bike and a nice middle weight.

I've removed VentureRider from the list of clubs. Folks can join one of the other lists if they want to be we are not linked to it in any way.

No problem. Have fun.

If you want to create one from scratch, that is fine. If you want to do it quickly though, I have the software that makes it very easy. You simply select the pictures you wish to use, add whatever music you wish to add, choose the type of transition effects you want between slides and save. it.

OK folks...I have VentureRider removed from the list. I think it's a good idea but like some of you, I have some concerns about the privacy. Anybody can join the list. Now even though I have had VentureRider removed, that does NOT remove any of you who have already signed up. If you wish to stay, that is fine but if you want to be removed, you have to manually do it. 1: Log back in 2: Select 'My Account' 3: Select 'Remove me from list' 4: Save your updated account setting.

I don't want to do it either and I think that to be effective, it needs to be password protected for our members only. I think it may not be a good deal. I think at this time, I will recommend that you remove your name until I find out more about it.

Take a look and then post your comments. Would be a lot easier than trying to maintain the list as I now do. May be concerns that I'm missing though. What do you think? http://www.assistancelist.com
