    HEY...I've been to Luckenbach a few times and even have PROOF.

    Worse I think. The first thing I told me son was that I was going to burn it if he becomes obnoxious.

    Mobile 1 Racing 4T. I've used it in my RSV since 1999. I agree that more use the Rotella but I think it is simply because it is cheaper. It may be fine but Mobil 1 has proven itself to me for many years in my cars, bikes, etc.

    No, I actually will not look at the forum runner app. Like I said, this is my son's toy and though I will take a look at it, I won't mess with it much at all. I'm sure that he will appreciate your tips though and I'll make sure he gets them. He told me that it is a base model. WIFI only, no 3G. I already have wireless in the house though and he uses it already with him laptop, his droid and his IPOD.

    I ran Michelin Commanders and was pleased with them. I heard a lot of good things about the Venoms so decided to give them a try. They are on my bike now but I am seeing the cracked sidewalls. I will be replacing them soon. I hear that Michelin is coming out with a Commander II.....but not likely before I have to replace the Avons. I will NOT be installing another set of Avons at this point so that pretty much leaves me with the E3s. I will give them a try this time.

    I don't think it's universal. I've used my cruise many times in 5th gear at 50 - 55 MPH. Something is not right. I have the VMAX rear now but even before then, I never had a problem getting the cruise to set and stay set at lower speeds. Now granted, if I was running in 5th at low speeds and approached a good sized hill or something it might decrease enough in speed to shut it off but that was a rare occurrence.

    To be fair to the dealer, I can see where they could have spend 1 1/2 hours trying to figure out what was causing it so what they charged you was probably not really unfair. I just think that they came up with the wrong cause and it should have been warranty.

    No, it's not a joke. It's supposed to ship on the 1st and arrive on the 6th. It was not some online contest. He was at a fund raising raffle/dinner with his grandmother. I figure if nothing else, we can use it for a paper weight.

    It's a dark day here at the Nelson household. My son Dylan won an Apple IPad II in a raffle. He doesn't have it yet, they are shipping it to him and he is supposed to have it by April 1st. I told him he could keep it but it can't leave his room.

    There are probably people here with tape decks. If not, Pinwall on Ebay has several at pretty cheap prices. Many of us have removed ours and installed gauges where they were.

    You are a good person and I know that you are right....it sure is hard to do though isn't it?

    Well...I should have just stretched my wife's feet. Glad they found a good home.
  15. Freebird
    Rick, Glad you got it going again. That was probably the easiest thing to do. WOW...sounds like there is all kind of good news in your life right now and I am truly happy for you. I hope folks listen to your advice regarding the diabetes or anything else that they need to be looking after.

    Now THAT is a deal. Eileen wears a size 7 or I would take you up on that offer.

    Well...in my opinion...they got to you. Like I've said, I've run several brands of mufflers and the Samson's were close to just being straight through and NONE of them caused any performance problems or problems with the cruise control. I think they just took you for $100.00. Besides, there is only one simple adjustment on the cruiser control..it is the freeplay...and it would take about 15 minutes to adjust. That would make their shop rates about $400.00 per hour. Oh..and to answer your question...it really should not affect your warranty but with a dealer like yours, they would probably try to make that claim. Way back when, during the time that my bike was under warranty, I had it in a couple of times and the mufflers were never mentioned.

    Yea, we have a great time. Just tell Uncle Sam that you are busy that weekend. I'm sure they would understand.

    I actually just installed Firefox 4 RC1 a few days ago. So far, no problems with it at all.

    June 4th in Oberlin, OH. About 20 minutes SW of Cleveland. There will probably be about 250 people here.
  21. Freebird
    Heck Newventure, you aren't that far from Oberlin, OH. If you can hold off, you should just show up here at my house for Maintenance Day. There will be a LOT of bikes for you to listen to.
  22. Freebird
    No problem. Actually, this was just discussed earlier this week. See this thread for the part numbers and some links to where to get one. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=57304&highlight=passenger

    Here is the link to Khromewerks. I had the turn down tips on mine but you can rotate them so that they turn down, out or at a 45 degree angle. http://www.khromewerks.com/
  24. Freebird
    OK...well at least we eliminated that possibility.

    Rick, I just temporarily removed the mandatory name field. I want to see if that is what is causing your problem. Please try Firefox again and let me know.
