Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don't Wave Back 10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty. 9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm. 8. Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for. 7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off. 6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos. 5. Angry because just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley. 4. Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda. 3. Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else. 2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet. 1. They're too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms. Top Ten Reasons Why Gold Wing Riders Don't Wave Back 10. Wasn't sure whether other rider was waving or making an obscene gesture. 9. Afraid might get frostbite if hand is removed from heated grip. 8. Has arthritis and the past 400 miles have made it difficult to raise arm. 7. Reflection from etched windshield momentarily blinded him. 6. The espresso machine just finished. 5. Was actually asleep when other rider waved. 4. Was in a three-way conference call with stockbroker and accessories dealer. 3. Was distracted by odd shaped blip on radar screen. 2. Was simultaneously adjusting the air suspension, seat height, programmable CD player, seat temperature and satellite navigation system. 1. Couldn't find the "auto wave back" button on dashboard. Top 10 Reasons Sport bikers Don't Wave: 10. They have not been riding long enough to know they're supposed to. 9. They're going too fast to have time enough to register the movement and respond. 8. You weren't wearing bright enough gear. 7. If they stick their arm out going that fast they'll rip it out of the socket. 6. They're too occupied with trying to get rid of their chicken strips. 5. They look way too cool with both hands on the bars or they don't want to unbalance themselves while standing on the tank. 4. Their skin tight-Kevlar-ballistic-nylon-kangaroo-leather suits prevent any position other than fetal. 3. Raising an arm allows bugs into the armholes of their tank tops. 2. It's too hard to do one-handed stoppies. 1. They were too busy slipping their flip-flop back on. Top Ten Reasons Why BMW Riders Don't Wave Back 10. New Aerostich suit too stiff to raise arm. 9. Removing a hand from the bars is considered "bad form." 8. Your bike isn't weird enough looking to justify acknowledgment. 7. Too sore from an 800-mile day on a stock "comfort" seat. 6. Too busy programming the GPS, monitoring radar, listening to ipod, XM, or talking on the cell phone. 5. He's an Iron Butt rider and you're not!. 4. Wires from Gerbings is too short. 3. You're not riding the "right kind" of BMW. 2. You haven't been properly introduced. 1. Afraid it will be misinterpreted as a friendly gesture.

I had mine cut a little deeper and shaved on the sides, and replace the foam with aircraft memory foam, made 2 trips since then -1700 miles and the other 1500, never hurt again like I did before the mods

Fishing on Bike? Where do you put the trolling motor?

Well, we made our trip to Ar, beautiful riding until the rain started, had to cut it 2 days short, after telling a farmer at a resturant that it rains everytime we ride the bikes to Ar he said ya'll be sure and come back because we need the rain, and after riding by some of the fields I believe him. This was the first time to pull a trailer with the Venture, after getting use to it all went well. The Pig trail was great, got into some clouds and visibility was about 1/8 of a mile. We visited Mountain View, Eureka Springs, and Hot Springs, then home to Florence Ms.

Thanks Buddy we had already made reservation for some where else but did change them to the Edelweiss inn
-
We will be heading out to Ozarks the 1st of July, staying at Mountain View for 3-4 days and then on to Eureka Springs for 3-4 days, then down towards Hot Springs, I will be on the Venture and the wife will be on her VTX 1300, hopefully the weather will be nice, if you see a 05 silver Venture pulling a trailer with a ALF doll on the trunk it will be us.

Check your main breaker, it could be getting weak and allowing power only thru one side of it and causing a back feed.

Does this defeat the pupose of having the crash bars. Crash Bars are design to give and come around to protect the engine, with the supports there is no flexiabilty.

The one I rode seem to be top heavy, didn't handle the curves as well as the Venture, I will stay with the Venture. Just my 1 1/2 cents worth.

It's very possible, Is there a puddle under the bike after you have ridden and it sets up over night? The part number is 90338-11152-00 Description: Plug,Spec'l shape

I bought mine from an individual 05 Venture and never registered it, and have had 2 items covered under warranty. They pulled up the serial number and said that it was under warranty until Aug 2010

Got the Venture back yesterday, (on my birthday) they repalced the cylinder plug, the dealer said that in 4 years of having the dealership, this was the first time they had dealt with this type problem. This was after they had call me twice to say that they didn't see any leakage, they had 16 hours of labor in it, this after I showed them where it was coming from and told them about the plug, I wouldn't have known about it without this Venture website, a thank you to all and thank goodness it was covered under warranty
-
Has anyone been to Shady Valley Tn to ride the snake, I heard it was 489 curves in 12 miles. Can anyone enlighten us on this ride before we make plans for May 2010.

Found a puddle of coolant on the garage floor, It is running down from the Head area of the right back cyclinder. Took it to dealer and it will be approx a week before they get to it, service manger said he have to wait until the tech breaks it down to see if the warranty covers it ?????????. Is there any reason they shouldn't cover it? the warranty is good until Aug 2010. they replaced the stator under warranty so I would it would cover the coolant leak 05 Venture

OK then sombody out there in Venture land should invent one and give me 60% of the profit. (LOL)
-
If I plug it into the jack at the cassette player, the radio control has to be on aux in which you can't use the radio
-
So I will be able to play the radio and listen to the gps thru the headset, if I do this mod? Aux splitter
-
Is there any way of using the gps (ie hearing it thru the headphones), while listen to the radio or cb?
