    Not forgotten about folks. Still waiting on a quote from my vendor and am getting frustrated. Will start looking for a new vendor tomorrow.

    I don't know of anybody offering them. Rivco may still offer one, if so, they are the only company that I know of.

    Well I tell you what....at MY house....I say what will get done and when. Yessireee...I RULE at my castle.

    I too have enjoyed him in several movies in the past but he appears to be off the deep end now. This is not the first time that they have been in trouble with the law. The way I understand this latest ordeal, he had either sold or had his home repossessed a couple of years ago. It has had a couple of owners since that time. Apparently nobody was living in the house but he and his wife and taken it upon themselves to move into the guest house without permission. Not only were they squatting in the guest house, but according to the article, had done a lot of damage to it also. That was a few weeks ago I think. This week he and his wife failed to show up for their court date so a warrant was issued for their arrest. That was the last thing I read on it.

    I actually haven't seen that many pets named Annie. We named ours Annie because she was pretty much an orphan and kind of ragged looking when we got her...it brought to mind "Little Orphan Annie" so Annie became her name.

    OOPS...you had to bring that up didn't you. I think there are STILL a handful of people upset about that. Oh well...it was long ago and hopefully only a handful.

    I've been here since day one. I'm sure glad that so many of you have joined and stuck around though. It sure would be lonely here without you.

    I wouldn't go out a buy a new 404 now but if I had one already, I would have no problem running it until it was worn out.

    You guys keep looking for differences. He said NOT different between the two...but something on BOTH that is different than usual.

    It may have taken Yamaha to get it right, but they were not the first.
  13. Freebird
    I'll add ONE thing to that. REGARDLESS of your mileage, it would be a great time to check and lube the steering head bearings. Yamaha was very stingy with the grease on these bearings.

    The wind deflectors are different than MOST. I have seen something like them before so I don't know if that's what you mean or not.
  15. Freebird
    No, I remember that one also. There was also a Venture though.
  16. Freebird
    The VMax rear will certainly give you the best bang for your buck. I have both. They Dyna fine if you want to run it up to a higher redline but that is about all it buys you.
  17. Freebird
    I swear there was a picture of one posted here at one time but I can't find it now. I think it was a post to one that somebody found for sale somewhere. Very low mileage that had only been used for parades or something.

    If you have a problem with it in the future, one very easy way is to slip the axle in. That holds it perfectly in line and then you can just push and turn it until it is seated. Then it will stay when you pull the axle back out to put the spacers and etc. in.
  19. Freebird
    Yes, will get Hillis added this evening. Also BuddyRich.
  20. Freebird
    Don't you need to get ready for work. Yes he is and thanks. I will get him added tonight and may find somebody else when I go through the classifieds to move the ads.
  21. Freebird
    OK...apparently only the admin can actually move ads. I will get them moved tonight.
  22. Freebird
    Well maybe I'm the only one who can move them then. If you found the "Edit" button, right below that should be "Delete" and below that should be "Move". If you don't have those links that it must be an admin function. If that is the case, I will try to get them all moved tomorrow evening. Right now, it's bedtime for me.
  23. Freebird
    OK, I added sub categories for the vendors mentioned previously.
  24. Freebird
    Well, it is done. I'm sure there will be some complaints but I'll deal with them and make changes as necessary. The way it is set up right now, at least I HOPE the way I have it set up, is that only people who are pre-approved will be able to upload ads to that area. At this time, I have added Skydoc, Micarl, Rick Butler, Carbon_one and Ponch. I may have missed somebody so if I did, just let me know. These people SHOULD be able to upload their ads to that area if I have it set properly. This are will NOT be for people who just happen to be parting out a bike, doing a group buy, things like that. It is only for people who are established members who have been offering special products to other members for some time now. Receiving permission to post to that are will take more than somebody just joining today and then wanting to post to that area tomorrow. It will require a minimum time as a member, requirement to be a supporting member, actively involved in the forum and/or at our events. In other words...it is TRULY designed to be for people who happen to be members first and vendors second. Hope that makes sense. I THINK that those mentioned above that already have ads posted can move them to the new area. If not, let me know and I'll move them all. I think you can go to your ads, click on "product options" in the upper right corner and select "move". Then look at the bottom of your ad and there should be a drop down menu where you can select "Member Vendor" as the destination. I moved about 3 ads to the new area while I was testing it. I may even take this a step further. I may create sub categories under the member vendors category and actually give each of these vendors their own category. That might make it even easier for folks to find what they are looking for from a particular vendor.

    Seeking your opinions. I've been thinking about adding a new category to our classifieds area. I don't know yet what it will be called but it will be for our established members who offer products and/or services to our members. I'm talking about people like Carbon_one, Skydoc, Rick Butler, MiCarl, etc. It will NOT be for any new person who just joins up for the purpose of peddling goods here. Posting to the new area would be with pre-approval only. It will require that a person has been an active member here for some amount of time and has proven themselves to be a true VentureRider member. The reason for this would be to make it easier for all of you to find these products and services as they often get stuck back several pages in the classifieds and are hard to find quickly. So....do you think that this would be helpful?
