  1. 63....what do I win!
  2. As it has been said here...."plan it and they will come"
  3. OK now....what year did Dan end up buying I want to see some pics
  4. I wrote the same story 2 years ago on the way to Vogel, lost my clutch in Knoxville when it was about 100 degrees. Freebird was with us on that leg of the trip. Made it to Vogel and then Freebird, Myself and Eck bled the whole clutch before we went to California and VWIII. Glad to see you keeping Muffin busy....seems to be in his glory when he's tinkering Now would you please have him turn down the idle adjust on Kbrans bike while he's there
  5. It's nice to have a machine shop isn't it Looks good and I'm sure you'll get a lot of use out of it
  6. Seems like the world is going more crazy than ever before. That or we just hear more of it being a connected as we are. Sorry to hear of it Russ, lets hope that justice will be served.
  7. I just bought the Diamond R backrest and can't recommend them highly enough. The quality is outstanding and Allan & Patti are great folks to deal with. They are members here and donate LOTS of freebies to our rallys. The Utopia is nice, but as mentioned there is a bit or hole drilling, the Diamond R is a bolt on deal that you can have on in 5 minutes. I try to support our vendors as much as I can and hope that others here will do so also
  8. Doug, Post up your idea here, there is a long time to go and you never know, there isn't anything that says we can't have 2 different designs....post it up Bud
  9. I just bought a lift adapter from Larry as I gave my old one away to my uncle that bought a '99. Larrys quality is impecable, he is one of the finest fabricators I know, and I fabricate for a living (build things guys...dont go there) Jopie, Tony Dathan AKA Poco Red here on the site makes the light brackets for the G2. I just bought one from him and put it on my '08. He's in the member list, you might want to PM him and I'm sure he has other to sell.
  10. James your kidding right If not and you want to get rid of your other lights let me know.....old age must be catching up with him fast
  11. Danny, Kbran is in Bogalusa and if I remember correctly that isn't real far from you. BrScooter is in Baton Rouge and is retired now....so he has lots of time to ride, right Lyle I just left Kenny (Kbran) about 4 hours ago in Perrysburg Ohio on his new to him '86 VR. He's headed towards Ashville right now for the rally for a few days then back home to Bogalusa

    Chirp

    It's hard to know what noise one is talking about when they say "Chirp". The V4 in the venture has a distinct sound while its running, this is what I call the "Chirp". There is the clutch basket issue which I have also heard and that is a scream, that is covered under warranty. Just trying to throw in a little bit of clairfication so your not on a wild goose chase. Also it was mentioned about perhaps not being used to the power range on the bike. you can spin the g2 up past 7K rpms and it isn't an issue. It is a total different beast if your coming off a Vtwin.
  13. Just for info sake, many of the folks that have used the seafoam put a full can in the bike and fill the tank up. Then go out and run the tank out, I haven't heard of any ill effects and I know that it will help clean up the dirtiest fuel systems. Not saying for arguement sake just for info purposes
  14. Cool looking place....might be a chance
  15. Nope
  16. Congrats my friend...life works in strange ways and I'm glad to hear you have someone to share it with. Looking forward to meeting your new bride here one of these days. Oh....dont be a stranger
  17. Jack that looks just like you in a Cowboy hat!!!
  18. Right on Perhaps we can talk and come up with a solution thats a bit more suitable
  19. Brother I am sorry to hear about that, my 1st wife came out of the blue when we hit bottom. I wish you the best and if you need something, just ask. I'll keep your bike in mind if I find someone....be safe and dont be a stranger.
  20. Dave, You do know about the ones from Diamond R right http://www.diamondraccessories.com/yamaha/proddisplay.php?name=Passenger%20Highway%20Pegs
  21. Ok....thats fine, I see how we rate....be that way
  22. Jack....are you serious
  23. The last line fits you to a tee there Owl I sure do like that little stick poking guy
  24. It figures...I couldn't buy an airframes job after I got out of the service in late '91. Finally said to hell with it and started welding again, now I work in powerplants.....whodathunktit
  25. Maybe she's trying to tell you something Dan! BTW you still haven't told me what your riding, thats really not fair
