    Or....just type the text that you want and then after you type it, highlight it and THEN click on the "link" icon and type in the URL. It will add it to the text that you had highlighted.

    I like it. I bought my wife a Virago 535 a few years ago. She rode it a bit but didn't like the way it felt. Had a lot of rake to the front end. It was a cool bike though. As for resizing the pics. If you make them a max of 640 x 480 and under 200,000 bytes they should work fine. Check the "Computer Help" section of the forum for some good suggestions and links.

    I love it. The rear fenders are a GREAT compliment to the original lines of the RSV. Very nice.

    LOL....that WAS funny. Apparently he does NOT appreciate the finer points of vintage audio technology.

    WOW....works GREAT for me. I can't afford to trade and now I don't want to.

    How many miles does the bike have on it? I don't know that EVERYBODY here would agree but in my opinion, the valves should be checked around 40,000. They will most likely be fine and then I don't think I would check them again until at least 100,000.

    Confirmed. Thanks guys. It helps a LOT.

    Well...I typically get at least a short ride in on the 1st...sort of a annual tradition for me. I'm going to miss it this year though because Eileen and I are going out of town for a few days leaving Wednesday. Today is our 14th wedding anniversary so we are going to celebrate it somewhere.

    I've never seen one. I just did a search and it looks like a good solution. All the descriptions state that you can punch out the back to route your wires but NONE of the pictures actually show it with the wires coming out so I have no idea.

    As for the tune up, there really isn't that much to do. Change the plugs and sync the carbs is the main thing. Many dealers don't do such a great job with the carbs. Many, maybe MOST of us, do our own. You can buy a carb sync tool for about what the dealer will charge you to do it and it's a simple job.

    I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for but in my opinion, the best solution is the Carbon_One Deluxe Lift Adapter with the legs. You will need a standard motorcycle lift first though. Then just put the adapter under the bike, lift it with a motorcycle lift, install the legs and then remove the lift. IF you have room on the sides to slide the lift under it to start with.

    OK...here it is: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=176169#post176169

    Yes, I remember somebody putting that together. I'll just have to do a search now and find it.

    By the way...I noticed that the Honda, Kawasaki, etc. files are .csv but the Yamaha is gpx Will either format work?

    Thanks Dennis. That is exactly what I was looking for.

    OK folks...as I await the arrival of m Zumo 550, I'm already trying to learn about it. I rode with a guy one day that had all the Yamaha Dealers installed as POIs. Do any of you know where I can get that file? Are there other interesting POIs that I should know about? Thanks

    There have been some recent requests for the VentureRider flags. We have been out of these for some time now and it was time to make them available again. Details are in the VentureRider Merchandise forum area at: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=285603#post285603

    Folks, for any of you who enjoy the piano, we have a member here who plays absolutely beautifully. Bob Geresti, username Geresti, sent me a couple of MP3 selections during the holidays and they are just wonderful. I asked him if he minded me uploading one of them to the Chat Room music selection and he said sure. He also told me though that he has about 28 CDs out and that he was willing to offer any VentureRider member a discount on them. For a preview, you can hear Bob's "Stairway to Heaven" in the chat room. Bob's CDs sell for $13.00-$15.00 each and he has told me that he will make them available to VentureRider members for $10.00 each plus shipping. If you like piano, you will love Bob's music. You can find them at: http://cdbaby.com/all/gerestimusic or http://www.gerestimusic.com/

    Brad, I'm sincerely sorry that this happened to you and your family. Looking at the pictures, I think you are lucky that nobody was hurt worse than they were. I'm sure there will be some aches and pains. Yes, it was a nice car but it can be replaced and the important thing is that you are all relatively OK. We will keep you in our prayers.

    It's best to keep large amounts of parts...such as parting out an entire bike...in the classifieds. Then it's OK to post in the tech forums that you have listed some parts there.

    Flags are now available for order. Please see this thread in the Venturerider Merchandise area. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=285603#post285603

    Well...I just placed the order for the Zumo 550 from PC Nation. I found it slightly cheaper a couple of places but the feedback on the companies wasn't very good. To be honest, I really wanted to just forget about ordering one at all for now but my wife insisted that this was her Christmas present to me and that she was going to be hurt if I didn't do it. Oh what a man must do to keep the peace. I guess now I have to order the special cable from Buddy. Not even sure what it's for but I've been told by some of you that I need it.
