    So here is the million dollar question if the tire had any issues or defects and need to be replaced would they tell you it was out of Warranty, because of it's age?

    Well Here is what I am guessing Rick sat at his computer in his padded room with his invisivble bike and took this wonderful trip. Pictures are worthless at this point as anyone can drag up some pictures that would convince us they had actually taken this trip. Non the less Rick we are glad you made it home Safe. Does R/B stand for RYTHM AND BLUES?

    I am very much a to each his own type person, I served my country to help preserve the right of free speech and freedom to choose. I will comment that here in central Illinois we have had several deaths in recent months that were motorcycle related. Not having a helmet was not the worst of this several were under the influence. Here in Illinois in 2009 we had 108 fatalities and 80 of those were not wearing helmets. maybe they would have helped and maybe not. A friend from years ago told me "the difference between wearing a helmet and not wearing one is an open casket funeral". None of us will cheat death so live it the best way that YOU can.

    Okay Just bought a couple synegy heated vest and was wondering are the different makers interchangeable.. So would say Gerbing Glove liners connect to the tourmaster vest? or do each have thier own unique connectors? thanks for the input!!!

    rick good to hear you are having safe travels, having met you and ridden with you you got my vote for love riding(NOT). Enjoy your trip as Shirley is getting ready to go on hers when you get back.

    Sounds like there was some positive to it, remember if other chapters are like mine we will allow anyone in the group that has the desire to host a ride try it. Keeping in mind that person also has to demonstrate the ability to do so safely. Being a road captain in any ride is a huge responsibility and is not for everyone. Group riding is not for everyone, our group has become close enough that we can talk about a ride and what might have been good or bad about the experience. I am curious that you did not speak about your experience with the people themselves, would like to hear about that. Send me a message.

    Have you tried looking up the local Bike shops? Sometimes you can make arrangements with them.

    I am a Chapter president for Star Touring and Riding as well, which in turn brought me here. I Ride with a wonderful group of People, but there are some awesome people on here too. It is like any organization you get what you give. You can attend up to 3 functions before you are asked to Join Star Touring. That does not mean you have to join a particular chapter. It is a lot like here a lot of great people that share a passion. I belong to This Group, Star, American Voyager Association, and frequent some of the Honda websites. Most of the Star Groups that I have been exposed to have been very warm and accepting. Best of Luck! We also are not brand specific my chapter has yamaha, harley, suzuki, victory, honda, kawasaki. I dont care who I ride with as long as they are safe, like to eat, and enjoy good company.

    Well we have a cross country in our stable, there are no heat issues(in fact there is more heat off my tour deluxe). It has been featured in several magazines and has beaten the competition (HD, Strat, Venture, Kawi Voyager and Vaquero)hands down. The cb on the tourer is accessory, but it comes with several options. You can also buy a Cross Country and build to suit. It is in fact air and oil Cooled.. Now that all being said it is my Wifes Bike. if you are in or near Illinois Randy's Cycle in Marengo or Integ Motorsports in East Peoria Illinois( ask for Will). Both of the Victory Dealerships are very professional and will treat you right. You would be suprised that the Victory has about the same tone as the Tourdeluxe with oem pipes.. One thing we enjoy about victory is they have a yearly event at the factory and they allow you to test ride(not many dealerships to that anymore).

    I feel for your brother, i have spent the last 7 plus years trying to keep my kids as far away from this crap as possible. Regardless of the fact that we have 50% custody, and the each of us is responsible to pay half of all medical, dental,optical,education, etc. She still takes me back to court every 2 years and tries to take my visitation away and get child support. We have very similar incomes and she now want me to have him my 50% plus pay her 20%, I guess it is more expensive to raise him at her has than it is at Mine. I told my attorney I would gladly take residential custody, allow her her continued 50% visitation and not ask for a dime above what we already have agreed to. The court systems are coming around to believing that men can be as good of a parent. We just recieved a financial affidavit from my ex where she lied on her income. She actually has it listed that she makes less now that she did when we got divorced 7 years ago. I guess she does not realize the pay stubs wont lie for her.
