Well...you asked so here is my opinion. I think you are over reacting. Alcohol evaporates very quickly when used to cook with. Many dishes are prepared with wine, cooking sherry, beer, etc. I have eaten many foods prepared with all the above and have never really left with the taste or effects of them.

I'm waiting on the Yamaha V6. 250 HP. I know they can do it, just needs a bit of tweaking for our use. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/05pi/f250/05pi.aspx

Personally, I think they are fairly equal. I've had my Craftsman for about 4 years now with no problems.

Here you go. We caught so many fish that we actually got tired of catching them. http://www.picantesportfishing.com/?gclid=CICVpID0s54CFaM45QodS23upA

Wish I was there with you. I've visited Cabos once time for a Marlin Fishing trip. Fantastic fishing. If you decide to do so, there was a service there named Picante Fishing Charters and they were fantastic.

Freebird Centerstand Measurements
Freebird replied to Freebird's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I've heard a couple of people mention that they scraped the stand in a left lean. I'm not sure how that happened unless the stand was not all the way up. My bike does not have the AIS system on it and that may be why. The AIS will prevent it from going up completely if you don't reverse the bracket on the AIS. I've drug my floorboards and my mufflers (before adding the leveling links) and never drug the stand. -
RSTD Exaust tips- 2006
Freebird replied to GOINtoHELL's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
They come standard on the RSTD but not on the RSV. I like them. I bought a complete set of mufflers from a RSTD complete with the tips a few years ago off Ebay. The RSV mufflers are the same except they are not drilled and tapped for the tips. Several people have bought just the tips though and drilled and tapped their stock RSV mufflers. The set in our classifieds are a great price if he still has them. -
Best of 2 worlds??
Freebird replied to MidlifeVenture's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I saw an article on them a few months ago but have never seen or heard them in person. I actually thought about trying to make something like them a few years ago but it is one of those many things that I just never got around to. I love the concept though. My thought was to do something like the Baron's 2 into 4 setup but have one on each side loud and the other baffled with some sort of manual gate/flapper to change between loud and quiet. I don't THINK it would be that hard to do. -
I'm sure it was an honest mistake and it's not the first time that it has happened. I merged the two threads. One was in first gen tech talk and the other second gen tech talk. I merged them and then moved the merged thread to General Tech Talk. That should cover it.

Seats for 2000 MM Venture
Freebird replied to Godlover's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I think that your price is very reasonable for the stock seat and CHEAP for the Corbin. -
This one was 15 lbs. I think you are right. Maybe my fryer is just bigger than most. Heard of it but have never tried it.

I like most everything but my favorite is always the dressing with Giblet gravy. Eileen is a great cook and does most everything. I make the Giblet gravy and this year smoked a turkey. Then we had all the old standards, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans with bacon, cranberry something or another....lots of other stuff but I don't even remember it all.
-
OK folks...those of you who fry turkeys, where do you get your oil? I have a turkey fryer and planned to fry it this year. The last time I fried one was several years ago. I put the turnkey in the fryer and filled it with water and determined that I would need about 7 gallons of oil. A 3 gallon jug of peanut oil was $28.00 at Walmar. I would have needed 2 of those plus another gallon so probably at least $70.00 worth of oil that would be used one time and then thrown away. Heck with that. I ended up smoking it and it turned out really good. So.....how much do YOU spend on oil?

It was just brought to my attention that Don Brechun, username DonB, passed away in September. This is the first I've heard of this and was very sorry to hear the news. If anybody has any details, please let us know. Our prayers go out to all his friends and family. Don was from Windsor, ON, Canada.

Well it may be cleared up again for now. I'm no longer getting the bounced emails. Hopefully you Yahooer's are getting your notifications again.
-
To each his or her own but just to give the other side of the story, not EVERYBODY likes the Mac. I bought into the hype several years ago and bought an IMac. Probably had it for about a year before I realized that I truly hated it. Never gave up my PC but used the Mac often enough to make sure it wasn't just because I hadn't gotten used to it. The fact is, I simply hated pretty much everything about it and it finally ended up being just an ugly paper weight. Sold it and was glad to see it go.
-
I suppose that is indeed possible. I'll take a look. I don't THINK there is a way that I can do a mass deactivation of email reminders for those folks and it will take me FOREVER to do each one manually. I'll look though. Maybe I can figure out a way.

Once again, Yahoo is blocking all email from VentureRider.org. When they notice a lot of email coming from a particular site, they assume it is spam. This is the second time they have done this. I emailed them before to let them know that any email that is sent from VentureRider.org is only that which is requested from their customers. We have a triple opt in system here. 1. A user has to register at VentureRider.org. 2. A user has to confirm that they are the one that registered by clicking a link in the confirmation email. 3. In order to received further emails such as notification to replies to posts, notifications that they have received a private message, etc. They must go to their UserCP and select to be notified of those events. I sent Yahoo an email the last time this happened and explained that to them but I simply got a canned response back saying that the ban would be temporary and restored in a few days. There is really nothing more that I can do. If it is important to you that you receive your email notifications, I can only recommend that you use somebody other than Yahoo for your email. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm in for a couple of black ones also.

Haven't had it and don't want it but did find this step by step solution. Don't know if it will work for you or not. http://www.whatthetech.com/2009/09/03/how-to-remove-windows-anti-virus-pro/

San Diego is great year round. Maybe the best climate in the USA as far as I'm concerned. The only problem is that it is too crowded for my taste. South Texas has nice winter weather and not nearly as crowded.

If you make them 1/2 inch longer, that is going to lower your bike a lot. Is that what you are after?
-
WOW...it takes you a LONG time to come to your senses doesn't it. Glad to here the news. Even if you had sold the bike though, you couldn't have gone anywhere. We just don't allow that.

It seems that this discussion comes up about twice a year. Then we move ahead and things go OK for a while until somebody feels the need to see how far they can push it again. To be honest, we have NOT had a LOT of problems with people exceeding the ever so elusive rating. While I admit that it is somewhat of a gray area, most people do seem to have a good sense of what should and should not be posted. I know that from time to time, something gets posted and then not deleted that somewhat confuses the issue. I sometimes see a joke or other post that I feel probably exceeds the rating but I resist the urge to delete it for fear of coming across "heavy handed". That is NOT my intention nor the intention of any of our moderators. Sooner or later though, they usually end up getting deleted because they spur comments and/or other jokes that are worse than the original joke. My general rule of thumb is that I ask myself "is this a joke that I would tell at the family dinner table with a son or daughter sitting there". If I have to honestly answer NO...then I don't post it. Now the question will probably be "how old are the son and/or daughter"...to me, that really doesn't matter too much. Whether they be 8 years old or 18 years old there are just some jokes that I wouldn't tell them. It's a matter of trying to set a good example. The bottom line is that nobody has ever been banned from this site for posting a joke that crosses the limit. The joke will get deleted and they may or may not receive a friendly email telling them that it was deleted. If they become a chronic poster of such things then they could eventually get a stronger email but I don't remember that ever happening. Most folks are more careful after doing it once or twice. I think that some folks are trying to make this much more complicated than it needs to be. I happen to believe that we have a fairly intelligent group here and I think that most of this discussion about what the ratings really mean are folks playing devil's advocate.
