    Never outspoken Red.....

    I purchased a set of the Tour masters also and have about 4K on the '89 with them. So far I can't complain about them at all. As mentioned they are quiet and handle very well, I pushed them fairly hard solo when we were in Arkansas on some of the twisties there and never once did they slip. The tread depth looks real good with 4k on them and so far I have found no faults. I haven't ridden them in a prolonged rain, but did get deluged on the way to NC for about 20 minutes and I just slowed my speed down, they didn't give me any problems. I am a diehard Avon man, I have run them on every Venture I have owned and love them. But I wanted to compare these tires and see what they are all about. I have run all the major brands, Dunlop, Michelin, Metzler and Avons, some I have been happy with, others not so much. Depending upon how long these last, performance wise they seem to be very compareable with all the others that cost, well, twice as much. The B load rating on them has an 805 lb max weight. Unless your really going to load the bike down, you shouldn't have any issues, just keep the tire fully inflated. Would I but another set, we'll see how long they wear, but until then I am pretty please with the results I have got so far

    It was great having you and Pam here with us this weekend Hazen. I'm happy to hear that the trailer pulled well for you and I'm looking forward to seeing it match the bike. You folks take care and we'll catch up with you at some point

    Thats might be it Joe, I dont know if the '83's are different from the '86. He had mentioned to me that he contacted Pinwall and they didn't have any according to him. I'll pass this on, thanks for the sighting

    October 2nd looks to be the day, unless something unforseen comes up, the POD will be delivered on Sept. 25th and we'll start loading from there

    How many bikes actually made it? I am very disappointed that Lonna and I didn't come. Our Sabrina Black Charity ride was a total bust, had less bikes on it than last year, I wish we would have went to Memphis

    Hey Folks, One of our members here Jack Tharpe (Zfrebird4) out of Ft. Collins Colorado is looking to find the 4 way emergency flasher switch on my former '86. If anyone has an extra one or knows where he could get one could you please post it here or PM him. Thanks for your help in this matter....Squid

    A word of warning also, if you replace the rectifier, buy a new one, dont screw around with used. Whatever you do DONT buy from electrosport, I had more aggrivation with them and a crap product, get the stock Yamaha one and you'll be cool

    I would swap out the regulator and if you can swing it, put a new battery in it. I had the regulator go out on my '99 and I played hell tracking it all down.

    A nation that forgets it's past is doomed to repeat it. RIP to all the ones that lost their lives...I will never forgive or forget.

    Annie that is so true, he has bumped his head MORE than once

    Dennis, I see your in South Lyon, I'm about 70 miles away in Marine City. If we can get a good time to hook up perhaps you could come here or I could come to you and we can get it figured out. If your positive about the battery being good then something is obviously staying on and draining the battery. Give me a shout if you want to meet up, others will chime in here I'm sure.

    Gary, the good thing is your here to tell us the story. I have been down and it's no fun, I do get sick of hearing about the circumstanses that lead to it. Your in our thoughts for a quick recovery and that the pic is nothing to worry about. Take care of yourself and as you already know, the spirit up stairs is in control...all the best.

    Ah yes the infamous Alan of Aussie Annie lore, great to have you aboard mate I like the story of the name, that definitely would put a knot in your nickers Hope to see more of you here and we do enhoy the missus and all her schenanigans

    Great pics Noddy, looks like, as usual, everyone had a great time. Seeing pics of Gary and Ann is a welcome sight, they both look great, Gary sure is loosing a lot of weight

    No worries Clive, I find that if your long legged that the 1st gens can get cramped. Another big deal for me is that my wife likes to ride with me. She sat on the back of the 1st '99 that I owned and said "Your buying this" There is a ton more room for the passenger and she can get a lot more comfortable. I suppose it's all in what you want to do with it. The 1st gens are very nimble and will carve a road well and be able to carry a decent amount of stuff. The G2 is no slouch and holds the road well, and is VERY comfortable doing it. I have done 800 mile days on both 1st and 2nd gens and the G2 wins overwhelmingly for me as far as being more comfy.
