    Exactly, Larry! Sorry, they sarcasm font was not available. I agree with your statement 100%

    I got nothing to say, just upping my post count. LOL!

    HA! KIC was posting the same thing. Also I just added one of these: Kuryakyn Handlebar Mug. It is a stainless steel insulated cup that rides on the handlebar holder. Fill it with icewater, and you are good to go. I gotta say, taking a sip of cool icewater while in the heat is fantastic. Phase-change vest: Got mine at Motoliberty. They guarantee the cooling inserts for life.

    I ride to work in Dallas, and last few days this week it has been 102-105F on way home. I see a lot of near-nekked bikers on the Interstate. Anyway, I wear a "Phase-Change" cooling vest. It basically has popsicles in the front and back, that will last for about 3+ hours in the 100+ heat. The vest will keep your core at a resonable temp. You don't feel like you have icecubes hanging off you, you feel 'not hot'. Heheh. When it was 116F last summer, I remember riding in the rush hour traffic at 5mph, thinking "Dang, my FEET are hot!" HIGHLY recommend you spend the money to get this if you are in high heat all the time. Have not tried the soakable neck & dew rags yet.

    Bobby G, sorry to hear that you decided to go and take a dive in the yard. Yard work is dangerous. I try to avoid it as much as possible. As far as you being able to use the front brake: Go ahead and ride! It will make you feel better. That, and the front brake is really overrated as a necessary component of motorcycling.

    Happy Birthday Rick!

    Hmmm. According to a link I saw, the 32bit Flash will work on Vista64's IE 32bit version Try the 32 bit IE first... next, try this -> http://forums.adobe.com/message/3863047#3863047 Disable your Hardware acceleration for the video card. See if it works. If it does work, then your video card drivers are too old and need updating.

    That's great, George! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoy riding my '07 RSTD. Nimble as a bus, but is a smooth ride. Wait until you start getting the "Hey, nice Harley." comments in the parking lot. HA!

    BigLenny, Did you notice a loud "Clunk!" every time you shifted up or down? It was annoying. That and the "SeeDoo" sounding exhaust. I would take off, and it sounded just like a SeeDoo starting off trying to plane... The Wifey mentioned it first. Still want to try the XC Tourer. Its shorter wheel base as well.

    Heh, not sure on height or size, Dave. How do you measure it correctly? Its definitely wider, and possibly slightly taller than Nico's Stock windshield that was on his '08. Yes I have the vent. I question it's usefulness, really. I mean, you live in Texas like I do. If you are wearing full gear, in Rush Hour traffic at 5:30, moving at 15mph, and the temps are north of 95F, that little vent is worthless. It helps a little.

    Dave, When I bought my '07 RSTD, it already had the Clearview windshield on it. (no recurve) Mr. Bowersock and I took a trip on a windy day up the interstate a while back. We switched windshields, I took his stock one. I was getting beat to death behind it. I could tell a big difference in the amount of buffeting I was receiving. Nico on the other hand, enjoyed his ride. He liked it so much that he just bought a Clearview shield for himself. I have been caught in downpours with it, and I only really got wet when I stopped. Passengers have never complained of buffeting. I don't have any buffeting worth mentioning.

    Coming home from a Maintenance Day in Arlington, TX, I got caught on the open Interstate (I-635, Loop around D/FW) in the only area that has no frontage roads or exits. And then it started hailing. I actually thought my finger was broken on my left hand from one little feller that hit me as I was de-accelling. I do NOT want to experience that again. The downpour after the hail was nothing compared to being in the open when you are getting popped with pea-sized hail!

    About to buy one, but I don't recall this... Does the Tour Deluxe have 1" or 1-1/4" bars on it?

    My beloved Wifey does not like the current seat (Mustang) on my 2007 RSTD. I understand that the Ultimate Seat is, well, the ultimate. So, anyone care to weigh in on this?

    A nice vehicle, Don! My Mother In Law has the loaded '09 Avalanche, and it is a very comfortable, quiet ride.

    Thankfully, the storm in the East side, (Forney-Royce City Tornadoes) missed me. We did have some strong wind damage to our neighbors around me, but all that happened to us was it piled our lawn furniture against a fence. Oh and the fabric cover of the gazebo is in some other county. Two of my neighbors *had* trampolines. Found 1 about 4 houses away, on the roof. That is as close as I have been to a tornado in a while. Amazingly, no reported deaths as of yet.

    Yep. Middle of glass, standing level. Been there, overfilled that, cleaned up the drip and kickstand. It stops when the oil level is correct, so no worries. Just BE CAREFUL trying to get the bike level, and check the oil. Darn near kilt myself putting a chock under the kickstand and the bike started to tip over. Best to use two people, or a mirror on an extendable handle. ~Bill

    What did that come off of? I think it looks pretty good. Is is comfortable?

    I hope you have a Great Ride, SilvrT! I got finished with my responsibilities yesterday, and there was still an hour of daylight left. It was sunny, no wind, no humidity, and about 74F. PERFECT weather to run to the library and drop off some books.

    Love the personalized greeting. Your friend is so...friendly. Sadly, many people fall for this nonsense.

    Three elderly golfers are walking down the fairway... "Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old, "You always feel like you have to pee.. And most of the time nothing happens." "Ah, that's nothing," said the 70-year-old. "When you're 70, you don't have a bowel movement anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran, you sit on the toilet all day and nothing happens." "Actually," said the 80-year-old, "Eighty is the worst age of all." "Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year-old. "No, I pee every morning at 6:00 am. I pee like a racehorse; no problem at all." "Do you have trouble having a bowel movement?" "No, I have one every morning at 6:30 am." Puzzled with this the 60-year-old said, "Let's get this straight. You pee every morning at 6.00 am and poop every morning at 6:30 am. So what's so tough about being 80?" "I don't wake up until seven."

    I have them on my RSTD. I believe they have been a great help to having others see me in traffic. It puts the yellow running lights and red turn signal at eye level to the cars. Even had a guy tell me in a parking lot that they were very noticeable on the road. I would re-buy them for any future bike. Don't get put off by the bright red flashing, after awhile you will hardly notice it.
