I never leave mine on reserve and many times ride tank to tank without stopping. I sometimes don't notice when the low fuel light comes on and there have been a few times when only losing power and having to switch to reserve made me aware of the fact that I was low. I just reach down and switch to reserve and find the next gas station.

You can now print out a list of upcoming VentureRider events. You can also search the calendar if you prefer but that is just a side benefit and probably not that useful. To use the new feature, just click on the "Search" link in the upper menu bar of the forum. Just leave the search box blank and click "GO". That will open up a new page where you can select "All Events" and then select the month or range of months that you want to display. Click Go and you'll get the list of events posted for that range. Then at the upper right, you have two buttons to choose from. One is to download it as a iCalendar file and the other a .pdf file. This was requested by one of our members about 3 months ago while I was on vacation. I promised to see what I could come up with when I got back and totally forgot about it. I apologize for taking so long.

OK folks, I am so sorry that I forgot about this. I know it was requested 3 months ago. I managed to come up with a solution that I HOPE works for you. If you click on the search link in the upper menu bar, you will see a new entry that says "Search Calendar". You don't have to put anything in the search box, just click "Go". That will take you to a page where you can select particular months, ranges, all events, etc. Do your search and then you'll see an option to save the results as an icalendar or a .pdf file. Hope this works out for everybody.

LOL....glad you have finally joined us.

It's just not that easy. The code treats the birthdays as an event just like the other events. It would take some major rewriting of the program to make that change. I have changed it though by creating a separate calendar for birthdays. I've posted a new thread in the watering hole explaining the new feature. Birthdays are now removed from the default calendar. There is now a separate calendar if you want to see the upcoming birthdays.
-
Well...I've revised the revision to my calendar revision. I have disabled the posting of events in the birthday calendar. That way there won't be mistakes made with folks posting upcoming events in the birthday calendar. So the birthday calendar is exactly that, it simply shows the upcoming birthdays of our members IF they have that info entered in their profiles.
-
OK...I just revised my revision. If you DO want to see who is having birthdays via the calendar, I have added an "birthday" calendar. If you click on "calendar" in the menu bar, it will open up what is now called the "Rides, Rallies, Events" calendar. That calendar shows all events that have been added by our members. If you scroll down on that page, you will see a drop down menu at the bottom right. If you click the arrow, you will see the "Birthday Calendar". Click on that if you want to see who is having birthdays. There is one caveat to this. If you add your events to the birthday calendar, they will not show up on the Rides calendar. They are completely separate so it will be up to our members to make sure that they post any events to the Rides calendar. Also, just a footnote here. You don NOT need to add your birthdays to the birthdays calendar. That information is pulled automatically from your profiles.

It was brought up in the "Request for Features" area that events listed on the calendar get lost among all the members birthdays. I am experimenting with the calendar and have removed birthday listings from it. Do any of you use the calendar to see who is having a birthday? The birthdays are listed at the bottom of the forum and I figure that most people use that listing and not the calendar. It does really clean up the calendar and makes it much easier to spot our events but if the majority of you prefer it the other way, I can quickly change it back to the way it was. As always, opinions are welcome.

I'm trying an experiment. Don't know how popular it will be with the members but we'll see. I've removed the birthdays from the calendar. Does anybody look at the calendar for the birthdays? They will still show up at the bottom of the forum but not on the calendar. That does make it easier to see all the other events. Opinions are welcome. I can change it back to the way it was very quickly.

Looks like you are having a lot of fun. We do miss you around here. Great looking car and grandson. The '67 GTOs and Chevelles were two of my all time favorites. If you ever need somebody to baby sit, just let me know. (I'm talking about the CAR, not the grandson)
-
As for the PMs, yes, just go to your private messages. There is a box just above the list of messages that says "Folder Controls". There is a drop down menu there. Click on the arrow and select "sent PMs". As for the calendar, I'll have to take a look and see if I can do anything. I understand your comments and agree but don't know yet what it will take to change it.

They are polar opposites of each other. I tried the pillow top and it was WAY to soft for me. It felt good at first but after a long day in the saddle, it is just too soft and offers very little support. The Corbin is hard as a rock. It feels terrible at first but I've never had a seat that allowed me to put more miles on in a day than it does. It is by far the best feeling seat I have ever used. You are right though, seats are very subjective. There are many on this site who love the pillow top and will give you the exact opposite opinion than I just did. People seem to either love the Corbin or HATE it. The bad part is, you can't really just sit on somebody's bike that has a Corbin and know if you would like it or not. I think I ended up putting about 5,000 miles on mine before it broke in to me and I started liking it. That means that you are basically going to have to spend a good deal of money and then wait 1,000 - 5,000 miles before you know if you spent your money wisely. Not the best of situations.

Is there interest in another VentureRider mug order?
Freebird replied to Freebird's topic in Watering Hole

Not forgotten about folks. Still waiting on a quote from my vendor and am getting frustrated. Will start looking for a new vendor tomorrow. -
Going to Need a Center Stand

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.

HA...I managed to keep my mouth shut. VERY unusual.

Shut up Don...shut up...don't SAY ANYTHING.....keep your mouth shut....:ignore::ignore:

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.
