  1. I agree...I originally used a splitter but then later ended up removing the cassette player and putting an equalizer/amp where it was. It's your choice but yes, you will need the splitter if you want to keep it active.
  2. WOW...it's actually 46 F here in Northern OH today. Plenty warm but it's a work day and the roads are very wet and a lot of salt. Would hate to put the bike in that mess.
  3. Now that's better. Now I can dream of warmer days soon....well.....not TOO far away.

    I looked at one for sale locally here a couple of months ago. It was much too rough for what he was asking though.
  5. ahhh....I'm thinking that you guys are being pretty darn cruel. Heck...at LEAST post some pictures so we can ride vicariously through you.
  6. FINALLY...one that Muffinman will want.
  7. I've done that before but sold the snowmobile a couple of years ago.
  8. Yes, and you do that from Windows Explorer. Don't actually open the image, just go to the folder where you have the image and right click on the file name and choose "resize". Choose the default, 640 x 480 for uploading pictures to the forum.
  9. Very nice bike and I'm glad Kit is getting to put some miles on it. Looking at the pictures depresses me.....all sunny...looks warm...then I look outside here and see a frozen snow covered pond.
  10. You might try Pinwall Cycle Parts for the trim. He has a couple of wrecked RSVs that he is parting out. The problem will likely be that those front fairing parts that you need are often the first to be damaged in an accident. He has an Ebay store at: http://stores.ebay.com/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc and also a telephone number posted there. As for your elevation and the popping. I've not heard of any of these bikes needing the carbs re-jetted due to elevation. In fact, I've ridden mine in Colorado at elevations around 10,000 feet and had no problems at all. Most likely just need to sync them real well. That's pretty common on these bikes. Don
  11. Nicely done Paul. Glad to see that you included "Image Resize". That's a GREAT little program that anybody who posts pictures here should use.
  12. Wanted to post this for all of you who contributed so generously to the fund for Cliff's son. He sent me this via email today to share with you all. http://www.regards.com/getgreeting.cfm/648-4056659-0108
  13. Hey....don't think for a minute that you are ever going to live this down. I'm PRETTY SURE that you are the only one who has ever done that. Glad things worked out.
  14. Very nice. I bet it sounds a lot better than the stock RSV speakers. They leave a lot to be desired.
  15. Gary, I can't say much that hasn't already been said. I know that you have loving family but don't forget that we are here for you also. Anything you need, just let us know. We've missed you.
  16. Not sure where this is, not in the USA though. Nice rig. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN7n55YjeTY]YouTube - yamaha venture[/ame]
  17. I also think that you are going too easy on the Seafoam. Even with mine running good, I usually run a full can in a tank of gas about twice a year.
  18. I'm sure you will really enjoy it. I actually tried to buy a new Wing a few years ago. Had it all picked out, accessories chosen, final negotiating was done. Went in the sign the papers and thought it was a done deal when suddenly they asked to see my AARP card....WHAT???? Didn't have one, wasn't old enough at that time. Who would have know that it was a requirement.
  19. Received my CD today and just wanted to again thank Kevin for doing this. I was on my way to town when I stopped to check the mail and there it was. Enjoyed listening to it while running some errands. Very nice "feel good" songs sung...and some written I think...by one of our own.
  20. I want to thank all of you who were able to contribute to this cause. The auction for the bells have ended and did very well I think. They brought about $150.00 each for a total of about $750.00. We also had several donations sent by PayPal and by snail mail. I sent Cliff a nice check this morning that I KNOW will be much appreciated. Far short of what they need but at least a good start. KR1 is still offering his CDs with 100% of the proceeds going to the cause. There is a sticky thread at the top of the watering hole with the details. Thanks much to Kevin for doing this. Don
  21. No problem...it hasn't always worked this way. I added a new feature a while back that converts the links and plays them right here. Actually, it might have been OK if I had just added a note to the top of the post about the language. Then those who didn't want to see it could have just refrained from clicking the start button.
  22. You know....that WAS funny but the language is a bit rough for this site. For those of you who are OK with the language and want to see it, just go to http://www.youtube.com and search for "downfall", including the quotation marks and it will come right up for you.
  23. WOW....that looks like the new fuel injected/turbo charged one. You are going to have your hands full. Congrats, hope all goes perfectly for you all.
  24. I'm sure that's not a piggy backer. Looks like a fiberglass trailer. Very nice.
  25. Very nice indeed. I mean...it's not a RSV but hey....we don't mind you slumming it around us.
