[Finally found a truck to play with this Winter]

She will be a beauty when you get it done Eddie if it looks like any of your bikes did after you customized them.

Still would have loved to have had your black RSV.

[Aloha! The Adventure Begins!!]

Congradulations on your 25th anniversary Bob and Becky. Enjoy your trip to Hawaii.

It was one of our best trips ever.

[Exhaust Seals]

Both my y pipes were replaced under warranty for leaking around the weld. This was the only warranty issue I had. Seems it was a known issue? I am pretty sure they are leaking again but not serious enough to replace at around $600.00

[Niagara Run / Loop Short Notice]

Great ride. Thanks Wayne. Great to see Wayne ,Robin , Steve, Michelle, Don and Nancy. Bike had milestone just as I left the group turned 118000 Klms. Glad to have shared the ride with such good people. See you all again soon.

[Passenger Highway Pegs-2nd Gen]

Same as above comments. Wife loves them. Gives her a chance to move her feet. Wouldn't do without them now.

[In Memory of Father]

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ray and your family at this sad time.

[Happy Birthday Marcarl]

Happy Birthday Carl and Cheers to many more.

[Ontario Hwy 407 - Can 407 Camera catch the Plate?]

Never caught it since I put the light bar on. Great Hwy to bypass Toronto or get you to Hamilton if you are North of 401. Lot less traffic Bob.

[This is gonna cost me...]

Came though Belfountain yesterday as well Wayne but chose to come back down Mississauga road to get home rather than the forks road. You are riding in my backyard you know. Sorry we didnt meet up.

[Harley warranty voided due to flags...]

Geeze....I'm glad that I'm not the sensitive type.

 

You guys need to come over for a visit. I can take you to several Harley dealers within a few minutes of here that have plenty of bikes on the floor. You can choose about any model and color you might want and ride off on it that same day.

 

Now as for the clothes and other stuff. I love it. Yes, I have two HD coats, a number of shirts and Eileen does also. I love being able to walk into most any HD dealership and being able to buy and walk out with not only clothes but pretty much any accessory that I might want.

 

For me, it's not just a Harley thing. I would have loved to been able to buy RSV clothes, accessories and etc. so easily. The fact is, they just offer very little and what they do offer you pretty much always had to order it and wait, sometimes for MONTHS, to get certain things. I did end up with a couple of shirts and ONE generic Star jacket but that was about it. Most of the metric companies are just very poor at marketing their great bikes.

 

I'm sorry, I'm not bashing the Yamaha. I loved the RSV and it will always be one of my most loved rides but Yamaha has very little vision when it comes to marketing. Add to that the fact that they started discontinuing many of the RSV accessories several years before they even discontinued the bike and it just makes you shake your head and wonder what the heck they are thinking.

 

Yes, I love the shirts, caps, jackets, etc. regardless of the make that I'm riding. I've met and made many friends over the years due simply to the fact that I would be in a store or wherever and somebody would comment on a shirt or cap and start talking about bikes. It's not about advertising for the company but often about meeting people who share your interests.

 

Now I'm going to my corner and nurse my wounds.

 

Yeah That! and I do not own a Harley although I would like one. I buy bike shirts for souveniers when on vacation and wear bike shirts almost 100% of the time and Harley has the market covered world wide. Love my Venture and have other bike shirts but they are hard to find in most cases.

[Another MIA RSV wind delector]

They replaced mine under warranty Don.

[Riding season HAS begun]

Very nice. I do like the look of them. Marca and you enjoy to the fullest.

[Another one]

Congradulations Carl. Enjoy it to the fullest and Dianne loves the colour.

[Life Is Good Again!]

Congratulations Bob and Becky. You will love Hawaii. Enjoy your retirement to the fullest and hope to see you guys soon.

Sent!

[Why does the Y exhaust section rust first?]

Both sides of the y pipe on my 2004 were replaced under warranty a few years back.

I kind of think they are leaking again but not enough to replace yet.

Pipes are louder than normal. They are extremely expensive!!!

[1st Cousin's Grandson went down]

Our thoughts and prayers will be with him and you and your family.

Such a tragedy for such a young man.

[How long have you had your Venture?]

Aug 28/2004. Love this ride.

[Surgery tomorrow]

Dianne and I have you in our thoughts and prayers Larry.

Am sure everything will be ok.

Take care and hope to see you and Joyce again sometime soon.

[More trouble with eyesight]

Dianne and I have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Keep positive as you always have been and life will work itself out.

Miss you guys and hope to see you sometime soon.

[lost sight in one eye]

Thinking of you Scott. Hope to get together as has been too long. Make sure you rest and Sheri will look after you.

[New fun wheels]

Very nice Joyce. Congratulations and enjoy it to the fullest.

[Wizard765 where are you?]

Our condolences on the passing of your dad Wayne. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all involved.

[On a two week Northrn Ontario ride]

Hey Dave: Have a great trip. Hope the weather co-operates for you guys. Just came back from Thunder bay,saw lots of bikes and it rained pretty hard at times. Not many bridges on 17 Hwy to hide under. Ride safe, tell Bernie to take lots of pictures and we will get together when you get back.
