  1. My Doctor told me that the only reason I needed to wait to ride was so I didn't tear the incision open in my groin. he said it would be completely healed in 10 days and there was no other reason I couldn't go back to full activity. Not sure why your doctor wouldn't want you riding the rest of the season. But each person is different and so is each doctor.

     

     

    PS i have had 2 of them put in and both times I was back riding in 10 days.

  2. Sorry, As much as I Hate it doesn't look like we will be able to attend at this moment. If we can rearrange thin gs we may at least be able to come for a day or two. We are headed to Indiana and meeting a coule of friends and going to see Lynryd Skynrd, Marshall Tucker, 38 Special and Jamey Johnson way to good of an event to pass up. I will miss seeing some old friends and making some new ones.

  3. On the back tire you can go up to 3 oz's And you do not have to break the bead to put them in. By a 4 oz kit and it comes with the bottle and tube to install through valve stem. I have run the beads for about 12 years and 250.000 miles with no problems til the last set of tires. I ended up having to take the beads out and balance them the old fashion way to get rid of my vibrations.

  4. Boy I have a lot I really want to say about you cowpuc, but I will just bite my lip and not engage you because in the end your just not worth it.

     

     

    You need to get a thicker skin. CowPuc would be the first to ride 300 miles to help you out. He is also so much fun to be around. If you leave ypu will be missing out on some of the greatest people that ride. I for one have mad so many friends on here that will be lifetime friends. In fact there are so many that i could probably go on a 30 day ride and not need to get but a couple of nights in a motel. You will not find friends like that just anywhere. Cowpucs opinion is just that his opinion. You probably have an opinion on the 1st gen and 2nd gen that doesn't mean any of the bikes are bad. Remember people on here are attached to the water cooled v-4. I for one believe they made a mistake with the V Twin but i don't think the bike is a bad purchase. Stick around and learn about the people onthis sight. you will not find a better bunch of Bikers.

    Again Just My Opinion

  5. Skid Be good to see you. I believe Slim and I will get there Monday also and we are staying in one of the cabins. I haven't been since the one were we lost Mark a few days after the rally. Be good to see some people I haven't seen in awhile and to meet some folk I haven't met yet. I assume since I don't ride a Venture anymore it's OK if I show up,

    • I was thinking of going with the truck and tent camping because if I go with the motor home I will be stuck at the campground and I would want to travel around.

    Tom Hope you make it. Be good to see you again

  6. The wife and I would love to join in. It has been awhile since I have made it to the Asheville Rally.

     

    Just talked to the KOA and was going to do the tent camping thing but the rates are $50 a night for a campsite so I got one of the camping cabins for an extra $20 per night. Booked for August 15th through the 19th.

  7. Slept OK. I'm waiting to get my energy back like they told me!! New mask is a LOT better. Only woke up once last night. I'm usually up two to four times in a night.

     

     

    Dan I have been using one for three years. I can not sleep without it yet. Here's what it has done for me......Energy level is lower now than before. I never use to get sleepy in the afternoon while driving now I do. I sleep longer and don't wake up most nights during the night. I don't snore any longer. My blood pressure has went down about 8-10 points upper and lower. When I did my overnight test they said I stopped breathing about 50 times an hour. Now I have (according to them) about 5 or 6 a night.

  8. Don't hate on me. I figured I would see what all the hype is about so I switched and bought a Harley. I know I know but I wanted to try one and so far I like the bike. Throttle response if quick and the bike is smoother than i thought it would be. I will let you know in 25,000 miles if I am still happy or not. Here is a couple pics. 2013 Ultra Limited with 9700 miles and I got it for a very good price

  9. Well I have never ridden in below zero temps but I belong to BACA (bikers against child abuse) and I rode 91 miles for a kid of ours in 6 degree weather. I actually wasn't that cold. Had heated jacket, gloves, seat and grips and lots of leather and long johns
