I know I'm a little slow here (just woke up), but what is that, Thanks:0 / Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts, in the top right hand corner of the posts mean? Was it always there? Is it tracking how many times I have thanked anyone? Then I guess I have failed miserably. Just askin'

Great to have a heated garage for the winter climate. All you'll need now is, setting up a radio, chairs, a fridge for some wobbly pops and a TV to watch some hockey games?

Yes we have a lot of Moron's up here as well. Unfortunately, the judgement up here for such acts aren't too strict, if he was caught; but I'd like to see him try that in Texas...it would be his last time?

It's hard to believe there are people that would do this. How low is this world getting? In Toronto, a coward goes into a Canadian Legion with a gun to rob the Vets of their poppy money. http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Scarborough+vets+fight+armed+thief+poppy+drive/2216088/story.html

Maybe you'll have time to go to Friday the 13th in Port Dover? Nice bikes, new stuff to see; I've experienced it a few times before and now it's too congested for me. Enjoy and be safe...where ever you decide to ride!

Cold? I was out riding at 45F the other day. It was a little cool but it was a beautiful sunny day. This time of year 60 - 65F is shirt weather up here. It is currently 27F and when winter hits in January, it can drop to about -40 to -45F. No kidding. The last time I visited my sisters place in Tyler TX, it was about 96-99F and I thought I was going to pass out from the heat and humidity. Now that's hot! I must say although, Texas looks like a beautiful place to live, but it would take me some time to acclimatise.

Yes there is hope...but it's not in man. Nothing is worse than seeing your child sick or hurt. Praying for your son.

Awsome machining work and effort by a brilliant machinist. I think someone has a little too much time on their hands...they must be retired?

My wife rides, but not the Venture. When sitting on my Venture, she has tried to get it off the side stand...not going to happen. I think it's because she is too short; she thinks that the bike is just too heavy. Likely a little of both?

SO! What are the AGES of the DRIVERS of VR.Org?

I'm not worried about my age...pushing 52. I just remind the wife about me growing older, "the older the fiddle the sweeter the tune"! -
Now that's below the belt, and nasty! That reminds me, I gotta check out the snowblower next!

There is a very hot place waiting for these scammers!

I'd like to thank you all for your comments and opinions. I really appreciate your honesty as it gives me a new way of thinking and accepting this issue a little easier. Due to the depreciation factor of a brand new bike, it shouldn't be too hard to find a newer used model before spring. That should make her happy. By the way, if you ever thought of what she would do if I passed on first? She would sell her bike (whatever bike at that time), buy a loaded brand new Harley Deluxe and travel across the US and Canada, coast to coast by herself, taking her own sweet time. I told her if that's her plan, then she better get a good GPS with all the Harley dealers loaded in it. She doesn't care!

Definitely cheaper to keep her, but I'm not as relaxed anymore about her riding. She has said that riding is one of her biggest enjoyments of life, and if she ended her life while riding, then it was good to the end. I'm not that way inclined, as there's too much more than riding to enjoy. I could give it up in a heart beat and move on. So far the opinion is just get another one.

A couple of weeks ago, my wife wrote off her bike hitting a car, on the way to work. She sheared off one crash bar completely, broke off and split the floor board in half from the other side, bent the frame and forks, broke off the front turn signals, dented the tank, exhaust and broke the windshield. The mustang seat and chrome side covers and the back of the bike were untouched. Other than the multiple bruises, pulled muscles, split lip and a damaged helmet; she is so fortunate to be here. The only thing she remembers right after the accident is this old Indian guy with a turban standing over her lying on the pavement, knocking on her helmet asking, "lady...are you ok?", over and over again. By the time the ambulance got there, she said the stars and spins were gone and she could see straight once again. She was then checked out by the paramedics and refused to get into the ambulance to go to the hospital? Stubborn as a mule! Instead she got a ride and hobbled in to our family doctor and the chiropractor to be checked out. When she phoned me at work and told me what had happened; she then asked if I could buy her a new one? I could have easily been a widower if it was His choice and she's asking me for a new bike? I guess it just wasn't her time? I'm proud of her for riding a bike, and I thank God she's still here in one piece with no permanent damage. I guess I'll just use the old one for parts? Anyone have an 07, 08 or 09, Suzuki C90 for sale?

When unexpected things and trials like this happen in our lives it sure it sure puts things into perspective. I pray that you receive only positive news from the results.

In August CanadianRider had past due to his illness. He had a Web site and with his monthly reports of him fighting this disease, colorectal cancer. He wanted everyone to know the facts and educate everyone that was interested. This disease does not discriminate, it can affect anyone.www.bottomlinecoaches.com His wife wanted me to post his motorcycle trailer (Piggyback) that he had just purchased and used once. Black, torsion axle with carrier. $500.00 Firm His 2008 RSV will be available in the spring. When I drove his bike last summer I couldn't believe there was so little whine. You had to listen for it. Not like my 2006 Midnight. Please let me know if you are interested in the trailer and I can provide you with the details. I'm not sure if I posted this correctly, but if not please let me know.

A Chinese buddy of mine told me that these Chinese food restaurants don't use MSG anymore, they now use "Wonder Powder". Hmmm...there's always a way around it.

New Avons, have questions.
1 Canuck replied to Busta's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
If you do a search I think you will find a few members that have had problems with these tires and many that think that these tires are the best. My back tire was replaced due to cracking, on one side, next to the rim after 300 miles. It was manufactured in 08. No problems with the replacement. -

I just looked at James BIO and it reads, "Life is a journey which ultimately leads to eternity...are you ready?" I didn't know James, but he was certainly ready for eternity, now he is with the Lord.

In Effingham, I think they have those mile high pies in some of their restaurants. It's the first place I've tried one and they are so gooood! With all that summer holiday traffic on the road, have an enjoyable safe trip home.

Earlier this year I had my rear Venom replaced after 300 mi, same thing cracking around the bead on one side only. Date on tire was (05 08), Dealer called Avon, no questions asked. Since I removed the wheel there was no charge for R&R tire on rim. No problems with the replacement after 5000 mi.
