    On the main page of the forum, scroll down until you see the area "Vendors who offer us discounts"

    LOL....that's better...now even I don't understand it.

    MISTAKEN!!!! WHO ME!!!!!! Very highly...uh....likely.

    Yep, sounds like you are doing it correctly. It just confused me a bit when you started talking about backing them all out then 3 1/2 turns in and etc. Hadn't heard of that before when syncing carbs but there it is a standard way of finding a starting point for the fuel mixture. Except it's all the way in and then back them out 3 - 3 1/2 turns. Sorry, didn't mean to confuse things.

    Go to the classifieds section and then in the upper right of the page, you should see a link that says "Place Ad".

    I may be wrong but it sure seems that you are mixing up the sync screws with the mixture screws. I have been trying to figure out HOW syncing the carbs was causing it to not start. I think you have syncing mixed up with air/fuel mixture. You don't touch those screws when you sync the carbs.

    I go to Hooters...but just for the food.

    I don't remember the channel numbers but I really like Coffee House (acoustic hits), Classic Vinyl and Movin' Easy. Also a good blues channel and a couple of good country stations.

    This took a long time but it looks like they finally got the approval. Only time will tell if it ends up being a good thing or bad thing for the consumer. Now I wish I hadn't switched to Sirius. I understand that soon now you will be able to pick your own programming from each one...build your own favorite channels. I have actually enjoyed the Sirius programming more than XM but I liked XM equipment better.

    That's what I have used for several years. I highly recommend it.

    Here is the website, from what I've heard, it will be an EXCELLENT choice. http://www.hubinfo.com/

    I don't know how far he is willing to travel but it seems that http://www.hondaeasttoledo.com/ has good prices. That is near Toledo, OH though.

    Yea, something is very perplexing about this one. I've seen bikes with carbs WAY out of sync but never bad enough that they wouldn't start. I think there is something more to this but I'm not sure what without being there.

    You better watch yourself there Mr. Goose. That comment about the boxers and pink hearts may offend the Muffinman.

    OOPS....did I say that out loud?

    There was actually a LONG thread about this somewhere. A lot of positive and negative opinions. Personally, I have one and love it. There was a time when just having your headlight on was enough. None of the cars at that time had daytime running lights so your light on made you stand out. Now with so many cars using the daytime running lights, just having a light on is no longer effective. I am convinced that the modulator helps get me noticed.

    That's pretty cool. I've actual done most of that myself. I mean...not with all those other bikes around ... just myself.

    OH...and I think you have put together an EXCELLENT team. I thank you for doing it and I thank all your committee for volunteering their time. Well....except maybe for that Rindercella person....you may have to remind her that just like the forums, the Rally is PG Rated.

    and THAT is what this organization is all about. The friendships. I love those kind of stories.

    WOW...I'm already getting excited about 2009. I've ridden that area a couple of times and the MTA had a rally in Harrison a few years ago that Eileen and I attended. I think everybody is going to have a really great time.
  21. Freebird
    Good deal. Glad it's working out for folks.

    Christo, Thanks for the report. It's fun to speculate about these things. One thing I can tell you for sure though after hearing these Yamaha "corporate" types yack at various events for about 10 years now is that their predictions are no better than any of ours. Yamaha keeps them so much in the dark that they are really better off not saying anything at all. Their comments about it being too expensive to detune the motor shows me even more that they don't know what they are talking about. It is VERY simple and cheap to detune an engine.

    OK folks...there were a LOT of great suggestions and I'm sure that we'll use many of them in future years but for the VentureRider International Rally 2009, the location will be SOMEWHERE in Northern Arkansas. The exact location will be determined over the next few days but it will be in the Mountain Home or Marble Falls area. I am even more pleased to announce that WPREDOCK has kindly agreed to head up the planning for the rally. Bill will start putting together a planning committee to help him with all the work that must be done between now and then. We are also looking at possibly moving it to a later time in the year. July can be pretty hot in Arkansas. Bill has suggested holding it in August but we have to be careful with the dates due to school starting in many parts of the USA and Canada. So when do the kids, teachers, etc. start back to school in your areas? That will help us decide upon a date.

    I certainly agree with you about the roads. I get mad all the time from all the pot holes and etc. BUT...there ARE some good ones if you know where to find them. I promise you that if we do a rally here, I will find some great roads for us to ride. uh...not saying you won't ride of some bad ones getting to the rally location though.
  25. Freebird
    I'm pretty sure that Works Performance makes one also.
