    Do you really think that a group of 150 or so could stand still long enough for a picture ? I'll take some pics as I can but unsure about a group pic. be happy to email them to you.

    Like any tool, used properly, it can help you do a better job. That might be the most sensible thing said so far, not counting my post of course:innocent-emoticon: BEER30 also said something that has MORE truth to it than most here realize " WHEN YOUR NUMBER IS UP - IT'S UP" and there's not a thing we can do about it:2cents:

    One BIG problem I have with modulators is that a flashing headlight is and has been the signal that the vehicle flashing their light is relinquishing the right of way to the vehicle in front of it. So - just as many times that you think you are safe because of a modulating headlight, you could be telling an old trucker to go ahead and turn/pull out in front of you. just my

    THAT is ONE GOOD looking car !!

    All you have to do is have a modulated headlight in your rear view mirror for a couple hours and you'll never ride with that bike again. Anybody that thinks it humorous that cars pull over because of an approaching modulated headlight is apparently NOT as courteous as they expect others to be to them. What ever happened to a persons left thumb and the ability flash the high beam ?? Don't have time to do that ?? Slow down. Perhaps you've noticed by now that I'm TOTALLY against headlight modulators but then everybody has an opinion and you're just as right to run them as I'm right to object to them. Doesn't make either one of us bad guys

    Since our tax dollars that we haven't paid yet are being used to bail out the big 3 auto makers and obama? has already said that the gov is going to own 60% of GM, shouldn't some of us heavy tax payers be entitled to a COMPANY car ?? If so - I opt for a 2009 Silverado Z71

    All of the guys I know either ride a wing or a hardley - I just thought that it was common knowledge that there are only 2 motorcycles out there - GoldWings and Harleys, everything else is just one of those OTHER bikes. Well, I gotta tell you - my first street bike was a Wing and there were 6 more to follow that. Not because I especially liked them but because that's who I rode with. After I quit riding and sold my last bike I happened upon a long time friend that I hadn't seen for quite a while. He rides an RSTD, my wife got better, I started buying bikes again. I ended up with a 2007 Venture and my wife as well as me agree that our Venture rides better than any of the wings we had. The last wing was a 1998 1500. I do find in my area that MOST everybody I meet on the highway or even the county roads we ride are friendly and do wave.

    To re-route the audio cable, is there enough cable or do you have to extend it ??

    Although I appreciate somebody's talent, patience and expertise in their endeavor:clap2:, I find it to be a total waste of good RIDING time.

    I did just that and got more reading than I have time for ? I am seriously interested in a weight loss program but all of them involve NOT eating most everything I enjoy. I lost 12 lbs while in and recuperating from surgery but I feel sure it will come back in a hurry. I just can't give up an ice cream cone while on a ride and we both enjoy eating out - my loss but I don't mean weight :bang head:

    Being somewhat of a newbie I have yet to bookmark or otherwise get 'carbon-one' address set aside for future use. Would someone please post or send me his info ? Thanks in advance

    If you come down this way again and want to see some of Carroll County's 'back' paved roads, give me a shout. I wouldn't doubt you've seen some already but I can get you to the marina starting in Canton that'll be TOTALLY enjoyable. rbyrd5@neo.rr.com

    I'm not a sailer but I've had my share of BASS boats - btw - I live about 20 minutes from Atwood Lake and we had the same Venture until last week Dick OK - same bike, 2007 Midnight Venture but slightly altered

    The pin striping was done freehand by Jaybird, a local artisian - he's been doing pin striping for at least 30 years.

    REMOVE the battery - let the unit sit idle for a couple minutes then install the battery. That has happened to my Zumo 550 several times

    OK - I was doing everything right except that I was doing it wrong. I didn't hold the arrow keys long enough and quite frankly I was getting tired of pi$$ing with it. One GOOD thing did come out of today, the XM radio worked great on our first 2 up trip of the year. It was only for lunch in a little town named Bergholz Ohio then a county road down to the Ohio river. Round trip was only 80 miles but in that time we only encountered 6 or 8 cars and a dozen bikes. Thanks guys for the help - I was told that I should never take a coffee break when I was working 'cause they would have to re-train me. Thanks !!:thumbsup:
