  1. That was really great... 18/20 signs, 16/20 situations. Good test, thanks for bumping! Mark http://www.RideBellChain.com
  2. Mine has saved me MANY times already. I see people stop and think twice before pulling out in front of me (right handers) or making that left turn and crossing in front. Best is on the highway as people move out of my way when I come up behind them...I guess they think I'm "the Man". Whatever the case, I've noticed a huge difference since I started using the Biker Buddy. Cya! Mark http://www.RideBellChain.com SCRC #456 West Palm Beach 2008 Royal Star Venture
  3. Thanks - It started when I found out about them in the MSF class...then I get my new bike, and ask my dad to buy me one...and my buddy who helped me get started said he had like 17k miles and nobody ever bought him one...that night I woke up in the middle of the night with the buy-it-forward idea... It's really cool - I've met SO MANY great people in the last year with this. This isn't my full-time job, more of a hobby, and I'm not making any money in the end because I give away too much, but I am having a lot of fun! I broke 9000 miles on my RSV this week! I cannot be any more in love with a motorcycle. http://www.ridebellchain.com/Gallery/images/RSV081409/IMG_0583.jpg Cya! Mark http://www.RideBellChain.com
  4. Hi guys, I wrote several "how-to" articles for our Royal Star Venture and you can find them on my website, http://www.RideBellChain.com - look at articles on the right side. I wrote a Stebel Horn installation, LED marker lights install, adding a Goldwing Vent to my windshield and a few more. I hope I won't get in trouble for leading you all to my site, but it's too hard to post all the pics, etc. to the forums I go to. I hope you enjoy!

  5. Hi All, Just wanted to let you know that I've updated my blog at http://www.RideBellChain.com. This week's article talks about the Southern Cruisers Riding Club (SCRC). Hope all is well, and ride safe! Mark Turkel 2008 Yamaha Royal Star Venture SCRC #456 http://www.RideBellchain.com/Gallery/images/RSV081409/IMG_0581.jpg
  6. Hi guys, I'm dealing with the same issue now. I took it in for the 600 mile tune up and had the clicking noise. When they drained the final drive oil, they said it was BLACK, there was a real problem, and Yamaha overnighted the complete assembly to replace. Now I'm at 1200 miles on a little trip last weekend with the wifey, and it starts again. Much louder this time, too, or I'm just "hearing" it more because I know what it is. I told them previously about greasing everything, but I think they just blew me off. Tomorrow another assembly will arrive (told him to order it again since I don't want this premature wear and it's covered by warranty), but I also printed out the TSB and a few threads with pictures and text from the other RSV forums I found. I have 1500 miles on the bike now...not too confident in anything, as the radio head doesn't work now either (fading and buttons don't work). Totally unrelated, but I'm starting to think I should have bought the "other" brand. Is this the kind of stuff I should expect with the 2008 RSV? Did I buy a lemon? I'm SO disappointed, as I really love my bike! Thanks, Mark Turkel http://www.RideBellChain.com SCRC #456 http://www.RideBellchain.com/Gallery/images/keywest/mm0_small.jpg
