  1. I send prayers for his speedy recovery. A good VR member and I have ordered from him more than once. I wish him no pain.
  2. Now that is what I am talking about!!! :cool10:
  3. I believe I had 700 miles on my 02 before tipping it over.
  4. Jeff is still the president of Star Chapter 295 and he is still adding chrome to this 06 mistress of his.
  5. Where is the cassette player? :rotfl::rotfl:
  6. :sign yeah that:
  7. I have been getting headaches every year about this time for at least four years. I wonder if it could have anything to do with the same old speculation about the Venture's life. I could care less what Yamaha does. I ride a nine year old bike with many miles on it without ever having a breakdown. I will continue this well into the future.
  8. I think I saw this in the 80'S on a special show on TV. Is the 65 Comet a Caliente model in a 2dr HT? That was a good looking model. It just didn't have a really good motor.
  9. While working in my field today, one of my dogs was busy grabbing a snake and throwing it. I called her off and went to investigate. I immediately drew my ankle pistol and shot an Eastern Diamond Back Rattle snake. The dog appears fine, I guess she knows how to handle snakes.
  10. I don't listen to their liberal blabber so it won't make any difference. I think many fence sitters should be offended though.
  11. Decisions, decisions! Oh the pain.
  12. I don't believe the current model meets the emissions guidlines. I hears that the 2010 only was allowed because they were built before 2010. I have nothing else that would say there will be another Venture.
  13. I favor the solar charger. Your motorcycle will not have enough charging system to keep up with two batteries.
  14. I take the Advanced Rider Safety every two years and have for over a decade. Not for some paper that says I took it, but as a bench mark to alert me whether age is causing lack of motor skills.
  15. Good post! I don't mention to any persons around me, but I carry (always) a .380 in an ankle holster, a boot knife, a skinning knife in my right pocket, and a .44 Charter Arms in a sholder holster or in my Tourmaster Airflow (which conveniently has a pistol pocket). I have been in law enforcement in the past and I refuse to be a victim. Enough said.
  16. Thanks Beer 30, I have VIP rider arranged by RT national and have every year. After this many years they expect me. Be safe,
  17. I have always used EBC double H pads.
  18. I use EBC double H sintered pads and I can tell the inner rear wears more than the outer. I change the two around at every oil change to keep them wearing even.
  19. That is what I am wondering, too. The PCW directions are good and if you have a shop manual it helps, but there are still things you can screw up.
  20. My '02 got a new trunk because of the lack of the supports.
  21. Whatever I have to stay dry. One police issue (orange) breathable jacket and a pair of Hein Gerige slip one pants. I also have a pair of gator boot protectors from H/D but they don't help much if it is a hard rain. Actually none of this stuff helps much it is a hard rain.
  22. The RSV will do in excess of 130 mph with the rev limiter disconnected. I had mine at 140.334 mph at Charlotte Motor Speedway (Lowe's Motorspeedway now) with the time ticket and radar printout. Go for it, they are great machines. I am still riding the same bike and it now has 120,000 plus miles on it.
  23. :sign yeah that: Check with the locals for Blood Mountain
  24. Yes you are over the top. Bikes get scratches and blemishes from all sorts of media. I know that once I buy a new machine (bike or 4 wheeler) that it is going down hill from new. I live with that and enjoy the time with the machine. I have a 9 year old RSV with over 120,000 miles and every time I give it a good cleaning, I see more damage. Cool your engines and realize nothing stays new forever.
  25. The only dark blue RSV was a blue and black model (I believe 2008 or 2009). Not my cup of tea but looked pretty good.
