    The Seahawks will survive and make history once again tomorrow. The only team with a loosing regular season to not just win one playoff game but soon to win 2 playoff games. And bring the Championship game to Seattle into the loudest stadium. Quest Field.

    US Air Force Academy Falcons. A cool clip on the Falcon in flight at 180 mph. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3mTPEuFcWk&feature=related]YouTube - High-Velocity Falcon[/ame] The average AF lineman is at a weight disadvantage of about 20 lbs each to their counterpart. Yet they play a pretty good game like the game with Oklahoma which AF did loose 24 to 27. Every once in a while they get blown out like the TCU game 7 to 38. But year after year they get a Bowl bid. This year AF beat Georgia Tech 14 to 7 in the Independence Bowl.

    I just discovered a wiring slot inside the right side of the faring (89 VR) to the outside towards the battery so one does not have to cut a hole in the faring. Has anyone else found it also or was I just blind.

    The best answer I heard as to why that is, is that when God created man, man was given the responsibility to manage the Garden. So his being is activity oriented. When God Created Woman, she was immediately created into a relationship with the man. So she is constantly tring to establish a relationship with man. And you know the rest of the story. I've heard many sayings about this. The one that seems to work the best for me is " Happy Wife Happy Life."

    I've read many threads on changing the clutch fluid. So the Bleeder valve has been removed and an oil pan under the VR with it on the center stand. I pulled on the clutch lever slowly a few times to drain most of the fluid. I opened the Reservoir lid. Now I need to get ready to go to work (job). So my thoughts are the fluid will seek its lowest level and therefore in 24 hours most all the old fluid should have been drained. Was wondering if it would be better to have the clutch lever compressed to the handle bar and tied, or does it matter, Just asking, for I do not know if it matters. Yes, I do have a speed valve to install, and I will use new dot 4 brake fluid. My plans are next morning to start pouring new fluid into the reservoir until fresh fluid is seen coming out the drain plug. After that I plan on using Condor's method of reverse fill the fluid from the drain plug up to get all the air bubbles. Oh any suggestions as to how much dot 4 break fluid to purchase, being that once opened that there is an age factor with break fluid. I don't mind having some extras around but not a lot.

    Thank You for the attached article. I had to read it 4, 5 times to get it into my head and will need to read it a few more times to get rid of the old way of thinking. The weight transfer sample using 1000 lbs and the 300lbs / 250 lbs really helped in the understanding and accepting the benefits of the intregrated braking feature. There is one paragraph that was a bit confusing. It is the 8th paragraph from the bottom. "What if, however, you overuse the front brake while using less rear brake than would cause the rear wheel to lock? Then it is entirely possible to lock the front wheel. This possibility is apparently what concerns inexperienced users the most." I'm thinking that in the 1st sentence " What if, however, you overuse the front brake while using less rear brake than would cause the rear wheel to lock? " the 2nd occurance of the word rear in red should be front? Thank You again for the article. Once my head fully gets onboard with the concepts and features, I really do not need to then think about what is occuring during my breaking. I can then relax more and enjoy the ride knowing that the intregrated braking system is an added safety benefit. In other words just ride and break intutively like the old schooling thinking. Except when moving very slow under slippery road conditions. Did I get it right?

    This Intregrated Brake is new to me. So when I hit the foot brake, one front rotor and the rear rotor are activated. Are the fluid pressure 50/50 front rear or 60/40 or ##/##? When I hit the front brake only with the right hand brake then are both front rotors activiated or just one front rotor? I'm from the old school riding 27 years ago and so I'm still not too comfortable when needing to brake in a turn and say it is wet out. The whole idea of Intregrated Braking seems strange to me. And not having ridden much so far, would welcome any thoughts of comfort. Like does one brake differently in different situations with intregrated brakes vs the old fashion brake system. Or do I brake as if I have the old system and just forget that the brakes are intregrated, and let the new technology do its stuff. As for now I ride kind of conservatively until I get a better understanding, more experience and a better feel for the braking.

    If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you provide a schematic of this procedure.

    I didn't know that the bikes were designed to cut the lights when the starter button were pushed. Glad I asked the question. Learned something today. Thank You all.
  21. GolfVenture
    Has anyone put their lights on a switch so one can start the engine without the lights. Then once the engine is running, one can manually put the lights on. In this way one saves battery power in the event one needs to hit the starter more often than normal to get the engine running?

    In June 2010 While visiting my daughter in Vacaville CA. I purchased an 89 VR from South Lake Tahoe. I continued to search craigs list for VRs and saw an add for the front fork brace. Later I discovered that the seller was Condor who suggested that I contact some members of the Venture Riders for referrals about the brace. I bought the brace and the rest is history.
  25. GolfVenture
    Now that I've sleeped on it, I've decided to let this one go. I appreciate all your insites of experience and wisdom. I'll keep looking for that right parts bike and preferably one that is the same color as my 89 VR. My VR seems to be in really good condition and so I The other person who were in front of me probably came to the similar decision. I was wondering why the seller told me that he committed to the 1st person to hold it till Jan, then called my and told me that he had too many interested in the bike and so gave me the opportunitity. I see that the seller has not put it back on Craigs List so if anyone is interested I can give you his name and number, otherwise I expect to see it relisted in Seattle's Craigs List. Thank You all again for all your help. Happy New Year to All! Brian
