    The search works very well if you use the correct one. From the home page of the forum, click on "Search" in the menu bar. At the bottom you will see "Google" search. Enter your search terms there and check the "Venturerider" button.

    I can think of a few islands that would work.

    Well, I admit that I missed 9 out of the 96. Five of those were just from not paying enough attention.

    It just proves that they are trying to do a good job for you. In order to match existing paint, it is pretty much essential to have the color code AND something original to match it to. There are a number of reasons. The original paint could be a little faded so then the new paint would not match. Even if it's not faded, the color can vary a bit based upon how thick and/or how many coats of paint are used. It's just almost impossible to match existing paint without something to compare it to. The color code alone just won't do it.

    Well, when you click on the avatar, it opens the profile. People COULD use a larger picture of their avatar as their profile picture then it would basically be doing the same thing that you are suggesting. Of course, most won't do that. Including me.

    I agree. I would be that the battery is shorted and would replace it before trying anything else. You said it was cracked so you are going to have to replace it anyway.

    I didn't think so. I will have to look at that. I thought only externally linked images could be inserted that way.

    I bookmarked that page. I'll try it the next time I find myself in that situation. Verizon is one of the worse offenders. I like their service but I hate trying to call them.

    Don't click on the paperclip. Scroll down and click on "manage attachments".
  10. Freebird
    Yes, I think so. If you edit and go to advanced and click on Manage Attachments, you should get the same window that you had when you first posted it. That is assuming that you didn't add the maximum amount of pictures the first time. If you want to replace one, you would just use the field that you used for that picture. So if you wanted to replace the second picture, you would just browse and select the new picture for the second field.

    I'm not sure but I think I was 14 when I got the '65 S90 Honda. Only a few months later when I was 15 I got my '67 Harley 250 Sprint. About a year after that, a '70 or '71 Honda CL350.

    Leveling links actually raise the rear of the bike about an inch to level it up and improve handling. The Baron's kit LOWERS the rear of the bike to help those who need the seat lower to the ground.

    It is just not possible. Avatars can only be a very small picture. There is nothing to open...it is already at maximum size.

    Mileage varies a lot based on how fast you are going, how heavy the bike is loaded, etc. 36 MPG is pretty typical on these bikes.

    I'm assuming they have already been checked once? If not, you are actually overdue. If they have already been done once...then it's really somewhat of a dilemma. I would talk to the dealer and find out how much you would save by going ahead and having it done now. I doubt that I would do it but the cost savings could possibly change my mind. In my opinion, since the valve covers will already be off then it shouldn't cost much extra at all to have them checked.

    Sorry to disagree but I and many here have tried that mod and most are in agreement that it does nothing except create a bit of a rough idle. I tested it for close to a year and honestly found no improvement in performance or gas mileage.

    OK so far. I finished the high dosage regiment last week and am on 1000 per day now. I do seem to have more energy and I think I am sleeping a little better.

    This is news to me. I looked back at his posts and didn't see where he seemed to have gotten upset about anything. I also don't think he ever contacted me about anything upsetting him. Sometimes it happens though and I often never know why.

    LOL.....don't worry about that. I'm certainly not jumping ship. It will be at LEAST forever before I can afford a new bike.

    The foot pegs were available when I was looking. They really don't help much though because you are limited how far out you can go because of the front fenders. I really like the Spyder and was close to pulling the trigger on one with the matching trailer.

    Well, I am in a hotel somewhere but.....I don't own any jamies. Now you can spend the rest of the night trying to get THAT image out of your mind.

    OK Gary, I have come to the conclusion that you are REALLY confused. The page that you see the ebay listings on is NOT the Watering Hole. That is actually the home page for VentureRider.org. You are not even actually in the forum at that point. You are correct that the extended search functions are not available on the home page, only in the forum. If you on on the home page and click the link that says "forum"...THEN you are in the forum. The first area listed in the forum is the watering hole. When you are in the actual forum, the extended search should show from anywhere. ONLY in the forum though.
  23. Freebird
    One question. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, on the left side, which style do you have selected?
  24. Freebird
    I just checked it again with Firefox, IE and Google Chrome and simply cannot duplicate what you are seeing.
  25. Freebird
    It's not that I didn't believe you, I just can't duplicate it on my end to find out what is causing it.
