  1. :2cents:My standard response to "What's Up?": A two letter word indicating vertical direction, however I would think someone of your vast knowledge would know this.

    UGH!

    I think it's that white stuff we get a few flakes of every 30 years or so.
  3. Belive me you are not the only one that had trouble deciphering the audio control, wait till you do radio presets
  4. What I want to know is how a picture was taken of Bobbie with out her camera.
  5. At least you did not ride it in snow, you might have to pay someone to take it
  6. Great Pics I see you even got Bobbie in some pics.
  7. It sounds like it may be a heating problem in the CB itself. I take it all your other audio functions work fine? Do you have to do anything to it to get it to stop working other than ride? If you are transmitting quite a bit you may have a VSWR issue.
  8. They can't get rid of the cassette player It holds my MP3 player perfectly
  9. Had a similar issue, figured out it was the control cable connection it would draw moisture at night and once it was dried out it worked. Cracked open the fairing cleaned and reconnected the cable little dielectric grease and I was good to go.
  10. The looks from the people around them was priceless
  11. Enjoyed seeing everyone yesterday and meeting some more great folks. Curious how many of you stopped by the DQ afterwards? We went to the Harley dealer afterwards and my brother almost bought an Ultra but someone else bought it before he could even test drive it. I told him it was a sign to buy a RSV.

  12. :backinmyday:We are just getting old what was "R" in our day now gets a "G" rating
  13. I have heated grips and I am not too thrilled with them, below 40 I could feel them on my palms but did not do much for the back of my hands (with gloves).
  14. Looks like they may have the Marshall mod so either VR or the Venturers possibly.
  15. The meet and eat in Lexington NC is only 4 hours away.
  16. Found these two definitions online. Driving Lights Driving lights are used to supplement the high beams for greater distance and width; they should be used only in conjunction with the high beams. Aim the centers of the beams at the same level as your high beam tape marks on the wall. Keep in mind that the height requirements vary from state to state, as seen in the chart. In some states it is required that auxiliary lights respond automatically to the fluctuations of the high and low beams. In such cases, alterations to the wiring will be necessary. As for the horizontal setting of the lights, this is a matter of personal preference. You might prefer lighting the sides of the road at a distance rather than concentrating the majority of light down the middle of the road. Passing Lights Passing lights are used to supplement the low beams to provide a more complete and uniform pattern. Aim the centers of the beams at the same level as your low-beam tape marks, or even slightly lower. Again, keep in mind that height requirements vary from state to state. Consult the enclosed chart and your local regulations. The horizontal setting of the lights is a matter of personal preference. A slight overlap of the beams in the center will give evenly distributed light all the way across the road, as well as very good width. A greater overlap of the beams, on the other hand, will increase the center light and reduce the overall width of the lights.

  18. I think 1 out of every 5 Harley's I saw going to Biketoberfest were on a trailer.
  19. My wife and I listen to audiobooks when we ride and the volume is just so low I have to crank up the MP3 player and the radio all the way. I like the splitter idea and the ground loop isolator just need to amp up the volume some.
  20. That sounds like a winner, I just need to find a set that has a headphone out jack to get the right impedance and I actually think I do have a old set. I could probally remote mount the volume pot too. I had also looked at a splitter/amp called a Boostaroo for around 20 bucks. Will let you know what I finally use.
  21. My MP3 player just does not have enough volume, I was thinking about building an amp to boost the volume or buying a pre-made one and putting it inline in the fairing. Has anyone else done anything similar?
  22. Might be your headset, see if someone can loan you theirs and see if the symptoms change.
  23. We were down there today, stopped in after my daughters Tae Kwan Do tournament in Orlando. Too crowded for my taste J&P Cycles and the Harley Dealer were packed. Did talk to a couple at the hotel that use to be Ventureriders and quit when they bought a Victory Dave and Pat where there names. Saw a few ventures and alot of crotch rockets for some reason. Seem like a good percentage of the Harley's going down were on trailers.
