I used to have one at the bottom but I guess it got lost during some upgrade. I'll take a look at it again. There is a "forum jump" menu at the bottom right of every page but it may be more trouble than scrolling back to the top.

No there is not. I programmed a modification to do that at one time but then hated it. People can pick some of the strangest and hard to read fonts. I find the forum much easier to read it most folks just stick with the default font. If you wish to use another one, that is fine but you're gonna have to work for it.

Folks, here is the info for any of you who wish to make a donation in Darrell's name. RE; Donations to London Regional Cancer Center Cheques are to be made payable to; LHSF - Cancer Program And sent to; London Health Science Foundation 747 Baseline Road East London, Ontario, Canada N6C 2R6 I might suggest that a notation on the cheque be made. Something like In Memory of Darrell Steuer.
-
I sure plan to be there. Reservations are made. I look forward to it also. Your bell will be in the mail today.

Wayne, There are a number of ways to ban a person and I use them all. I had posted here about some of those options but was reminded by a caring member that it may be best to not reveal everything. I think he is right. AmnChode, Hi back.
-
I tell you, that little John Deere and blower are doing a fantastic job. I've very pleased with it.
-
I haven't heard of it happening before but could have been a bad casting. PM me your address and I'll send you a new one.
-
He was the ONE person that I mentioned earlier that has been banned. He has been banned again. He may get on again and if so, he will be banned again.
-
Yes, I've done it. I left my key and lights on once when we stopped for lunch. I put it in second gear and got a little push from my riding partner and it fired right up. No problem.

OK folks...I honestly don't know how else to say it. I've put it in the site information, I've pleaded and begged, I've always tried very hard to be nice in the way that I request things of you. I honestly don't ask for much but one thing that I have ALWAYS requested is that we refrain from political discussion here. Some folks just don't seem to get it though. In the 4 1/2 years that this site has existed, I think there has been ONE single member banned. OK...there have been some spammers banned but I'm talking about legit members. Most of you have been very respectful of the very few rules that we have here. There are however a small handful of members who just can't resist making a political statement anytime the slightest opportunity presents itself. It might be in response to a joke, a casual post, whatever but they just have to do it. Some seem to think that they are so smart and witty that the political implications of their post will fly under the radar. Let me assure you, it doesn't happen. I read every single post made to this site and in fact, I have it set up so that ever single post is emailed to me. I can promise you that I watch these things. I try very hard to be fair and I often let things go until I see a war starting to break out but have become less tolerant as time goes on. So, there have been plenty of warnings, nice requests, begging and pleading. I simply cannot continue to allow a handful of folks to continue to push the envelope every chance they get. You are all intelligent people and you KNOW when you are doing it. Don't send me emails or PMs asking if I am talking about you. You KNOW if I am or not. As much as I despise the thought, I'm not going to continue having to dance around just a few people. Those who continue to abuse our few simple rules are subject to being banned from the site with no further warning. This may seem extreme but if it happens, you have caused it to happen. This applies to everybody, regardless of their political affiliations. If you are Democrat, Independent, Republican, conservative, libertal, whatever...this is not the site for it. This includes not only posts on the forum and profile pages but also avatars, signatures, etc. The only other major thing here is that the site is PG rated. I know that there is a big difference between PG rated and G rated. I'm not trying to make this the Disney Channel but some have gotten a bit lax in their language and jokes. Please help me to get these things back under control. You are the greatest group I've ever had the pleasure of being associated with. This message applies to VERY few of you.

Nuff said....

Only down to 23 here this morning but snowing like crazy. We already have about 6" of new snow on top of the 12-16 that we already had. Schools have been closed today, not a usual thing around here. Still coming down hard.

LUSBOY rides a RSV. If you've checked all the connections and verified power then I would say yes, time for a trip to the dealer. Be ready for a shock though, if I'm not mistaken, your bike will be out of warranty now and those parts are HIGH. If you find out what you need, there are a couple of online salvage yards that will have the part much cheaper. PinWall cycle salvage is one. There is a link to their Ebay store on the bottom right of the home page.

I've been running the Butler Mod on my bike for about 2 years now and I think it is something that all second gens should have. Great addition.
-
We already have a forum named "Videos" which is where we are now. Creating another one would be easy enough but I don't know that it is necessary.
-
I understand what you are saying and appreciate the response. Right now though, the difference is more than a little bit. It would be great if I could install the electric coils and be able to switch back and forth between electric and propane for the backup to my heat pump. The house is pretty well insulated with good windows and doors also.
-
This would be a good solution. I've wondering if there is something like that that I can install and then be able to switch between propane and electric as necessary.
-
Yes, I have a hack installed here that will automatically imbed the video. All you have to do it copy and past the URL of the page to your post here.
-
I really hope they don't do it. A chromed out VMax engine at 160 HP in a Second Gen styled RSV with ABS brakes? I HOPE not...I really can't afford a new bike right now and I would want one SO bad.
-
I moved this thread to our "Memorial" area so that it would not get lost.
-
I can't help you because I removed those inserts and installed them in my Flanders bars so I could retain the weights. Getting that insert out is very easy though. Here is a write-up I did if you haven't seen it. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11122

When I first moved to Ohio, satellite was my only choice for high speed so I went with it. I truly hated it. Speeds were very erratic and never really great. Much better than dial-up and if those were my only choices, I would still have the satellite. I have dsl now though and it is a million times better.
-
So sorry to hear about your Dad. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers also.
-
This honestly makes me feel sick. I will truly miss Darrell. Godspeed my friend. Sorry...I don't know what else to say at this time.

The ONLY place I have heard this has been from a handful of Amsoil distributors. Even the official Amsoil site doesn't make these allegations. So where are you finding proof of this?
