    My wife and I test rode an Ultra Classic this summer. It had the 110 in it. While on vacation we toured the plant in York and thought that since we saw them being assembled, let's try one. Under power the bike was as smooth as our Venture, but at a red light, that thing shook so hard, it was annoying. The fit and finnish was as good as ours, but the riding postion for me was too cramped because of the handle bar position. She liked the backrest, but missed the little arm rests over the rear speakers. The fuel injection seemed nice, but not a deal maker, I like being able to tune my own stuff as needed. Overall, it was a nice ride, but I do like just about anything with two wheels and a motor. The deal breaker was the $500 plus per month for 5 years that said hell no, no way.....plus my banker, known as my wife!

    Can the manufacturer make similiar patches for the 2nd gen ventures also?

    Glad to hear everything is ok. The bike can be repaired or replaced.

    Did you also ride the Hellbender? It was not far from the dragon. Fontana Dam is also a nice stop.

    I have been waiting about 3 weeks for the free shades and went to the website and noticed that Yamaha has put in a block to it if you don't have the 7 digit code from the postcard they mailed out. Must be alot of people were using this link to get the shades. Hope I got my order in before they found out what was going on.

    I put a Clearview shield on my 09 and love it. It is wider than the stock shield and the way it is curved moves the rain around you instead of on you.

    Very nice bike, looks brand new. By the way, you have the 2nd best color, the best is the 09 seashell and raven................. Enjoy it:Venture:

    The company I work for is a large supplier of plastic parts for Yamaha atv's, watercraft and golf carts. I spent a lot of time in their plant when I was the quality rep for them. The place is amazing. Everything is built start to finish there and everything is tested before it is crated and shipped. It is a good place to work.

    What did you not like about the bike?

    I hope the rider pulls through if he made it. It seems that lately more and more bikers are going down at rallies doing stupid things that they would not normally do. If they just take their time and ride smart, they will see everything and be able to go back home in one piece.

    Was looking for a good reason to test ride a Stryker............now to convince the wife a second toy is a good thing!

    I just put a set of E3s on my 09 Venture. So far I like them. I only have about 200 miles on them but seem to handle really well with no no slip. I have ram the Avon Venoms on my 97 Royal Star for years, loved the way they handled, but the cracks were any ugly feature to them. I wanted the Michelin Commander 2, but they are not available yet. They are oem on the Indians though. We have a weekend trip to Charleston next weekend to see the Blue Angels and will get a good feel for the Dunlops then.:Venture:

    Thanks Wally.............. This sight should start a pay it forward link to help others who may need something someone has and don't want.
  20. TARHEEL RIDER
    C'mon Wally, hook a brother up who has cracked badges!!!!
  21. TARHEEL RIDER
    Wally How much do you want for your "extra" tanks badges? Thanks

    I have subscriptions to three bike mags, the best by far, in my opinion is the Motorcycle Consumer News. What I like about them is none of the mfgers have them in their pockets and that allows them to call it as they see it.
  23. TARHEEL RIDER
    Seaking.........what did you do with your rk's that you took off? I may be interested if you want to part with them.
  24. TARHEEL RIDER
