    Helmet Help

    Pudycat03 replied to Shot's topic in Watering Hole

    HJC has thier 3/4 helmet with the sun screen flipper gizmo built in like they have on the modular and full fact. I saw it at a dealer for $139 but but my head was larger than "L" today.

    Keep the weather nice, I am riding from Phoenix to Seattle at the end of April.

    I noticed the same thing except I only have to feed a 12 pound miniature dachshund and a cat.

    Sure it wasn't a Harley?

    Why not just clear coat over the pinstripe also? I have done that several times, gives a custom look.

    I was 15 days into a motorcycle camping trip on a Suzuki GSX1100F Katana with 3 Givi bags, plus other stuff such as cooler, tent, stove, you get the idea. I was tired that day and stopped to fuel up and did not get the kickstand all the way down before lowering the bike and WHAM it fell over part way trapping me between the bike and gas pump. I was in a postion with no leaverage and finally someone helped me get it off me.

    Been ok so far but this bike is very scarry at low low speeds or turning tight, especially with passenger. I was riding a Valkyrie before and it was lower but also had all the engine weight very low (and no trunk or fairing) so I never felt the tipiness on that one even though it was within a hundred or so pounds of the Venture.

    I had about a 200 mile ride today myself. Started out in the mid-60s and did not get much warmer because of going higher in altitude. Rode 5 other bikes, a BMW, Indian, Victory, Honda V45, and two Harleys. Those that appreciate 2 wheels usually get along but the status and image thing of most Harley guys (and now it appears some Goldwing guys) amuses me.

    Painting is still cheaper than dealer but you might get lucky and find the right color.

    I had my tank repainted and left mine off also (Midnight). Looks smoother and much easier to clean. Also makes some people wonder what kind of bike it really might be.

    My father in-law is 85, has Alzhiemer's so bad he can't figure out the remote TV control and sometimes forgets where his bathroom is in a house he has lived in for 10 years. The State of Arizona just renewed his license for 6 more years with only an eye test.

    That is a very good price.

    I drove the keys years ago and was heading out to do some early morning fishing when we hit a cloud of bugs so thick we could not see through the windshield. Talk about bugs in your teeth if you were on a bike!

    Do they get zits?

    Grapes are a no no for dogs also

    2006 Midnight venture - The stock seat is not as comfortable for me or my wife as my last bike (Valkyrie). Other than that well pleased.

    Agreed on the sipping. I took a 3 1/2 week cycle/camping trip to the Southwest several years before I moved to Phoenix and rode with a Camelback like the hikers used. I filled it up with ICE at 7/11 or gas stops, then water and filled it everytime we stopped. Since I have moved to Phoenix I hear a lot of dehydration stories. If you are thristy you are already way too dehydrated.

    I love snow, it is beautiful. I like pictures of it on the mountains. It was weird tonight after riding in 70 degree weather to see it on the news however. On of the perks of living in Phoenix.

    I did not get an owner's manual yet (one on the way), where is the air valve for the rear suspension located?

    Do you need to shorten the kickstand with that solution? I lowered a bike once and had it tip over because the kickstand ended up keeping the bike too straight up so if if the links cause the front end to be lower I was wondering if the same thing would happen. Also what would happen if only the forks were raised (front lowered) would that impact the kickstand? Better to get an answer from experience that have a bad experience personally.

    I read that the earlier ones had basically both 4th and 5th as overdrive and the newer RSV changed the gearing to a more conventional 4th gear. What year did they do that?
  23. Pudycat03
    that must be in case you are so zoned out on the riding that it is a wake up to what just happened!
  24. Pudycat03
    that is the bike, one site refered to it as RSCT

    RSCT - Royal Star Convertible Tourer (I think)
