    we're parked for the heat wave. Full face helmets and Oklahoma heat don't mix. Riding at night is like heading full speed into a hail storm. There's creatures flying that I've never seen before!!

    My wife will come home w/ something for me, pair of pants, a shirt, etc. as if that was her only goal for the day. It's later I discover she got some stuff for herself as well, lol. Was I the afterthought? Doesn't even matter. Your wife managed a day off on her birthday, spent riding her bike for 8 hours, :dancefool:and still you think it was about you. She is indeed a remarkable woman, lol and you truly are a blessed man. Hope your mom is doing ok.

    Nothing but good experiences with MC Superstore. I'll continue to use them w/o hesitation.

    I just can't seem to organize enough to successfully plan for and use a GPS. I have the Nuvi 765T though, refurb, under 100 bucks, mounted on the bike. Screen is pretty washed out in sunlight but we do use it for locating food joints, maybe a hotel, fuel, etc., pretty much anything a smart phone would do. I'm still stuck in the paper map world but for value, the Garmin 765T is pretty slick.

    happens SOOOOO quick. As so many others, wonder if it was cell phone related.

    Hey Dave, hope you're doing ok! I went to Ace hardware and bought a couple 1 inch plastic coated pipe clamps when I did my RK pipes. They were effective, cheap and supported the pipes great. Just another option. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/looped1/RKpipestrap.jpg

    Congrats on a new bike, always a fun time. I switched too and still enjoy coming here and checking out what's going on.

    I wonder if Ride-On would have stopped that flat. Not exactly center line but very close to where Ride-On should be running. Maybe/maybe not. Pretty large gash. I'm about to add it to my tires. Got 3 bottles waiting on me to git r dun. Glad you're ok Dave!!

    Pretty sure you'd never regret it. I consider it the sleeper in the modular helmet world. My wifes mom is a cancer survivor. My wife got the "Pink Ribbon Rider" edition of this Gmax helmet. Very cool graphics, she loves it.

    I've owned several in your suggested price range. Scorpion Exo900, painful on my forehead. HJC, no thanks, same thing. Bell Revolver, cheap. Wife and I both have these now. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/38/36650/ITEM/GMax-GM54S-Modular-Street-Helmet.aspx Incredible air flow, for real. I've never been able to tell I even had helmet vents on other modulars. Removable, washable insides and tinted inner visor. A really nice modular for a budget price. I've worn it all day without forehead pain.

    We got unusually warm weather for Christmas. Spent all day riding around with the wife on back. Just about drained the batteries on our Scala riders talking. Great Christmas

    All I really have is my 06 Tour Deluxe to compare to. For touring 2 up, Victory, hands down wins for us. On our overnight weekend rides, I used to get home Sunday and truly was fatigued on our Yamaha. On this Vision, I'm sad to get back home now. And then there's the handling. You'd just have to ride one. I really had no idea how top heavy and cumbersome our Tour Deluxe was. Being the only bike I'd owned after a 20 year break, I rode it hard, revved it hard and loved it. Thought it was the best handling bike I'd ever been on. Now I know differently but I certainly don't rev like I used to.

    I can only imagine the years to come will produce some interesting products and they will be refined as time and trials occur. I'm all for being safe, bring it on.

    Time to make a believer out of me. Since trading the RSTD back in August, I thought I'd probably let my membership here expire since we purchased a Victory. Well, I did, for a couple weeks, and really missed it. So I'm back onboard showing off our new ride. Since mid August we've logged about 5K on it. I think had I originally purchased a RSV and not the RSTD, I probably wouldn't be posting this but instead would still own the Venture. We love this Vision and wanted to share some pics. This is a great site and as Rumboogy said a couple weeks back, it's a shame more MC groups can't be this good. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/looped1/CassvilleFallRideMissouri2011029.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/looped1/PopsArcadiaOklahomaTrip056.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/looped1/BikesBluesBBQandEurekaOct2011123.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/looped1/CassvilleFallRideMissouri2011507.jpg http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/looped1/NewPaintArcadiaandPopstrip149.jpg

    Easy to enjoy this site. I traded my Yamaha back in August and bought a Victory Vision yet I just renewed this membership for another year, lol. Another Okie welcomes you

    I've never heard these in person, but I've run stock, Road King and Samson slash cuts and none of them sounded as good to me as these.

    Wife gave me a "omg" so that means it's pretty truthful, lol. Funny

    Living in Oklahoma, I certainly would wish that Oklahoma State could play in the national championship. The way they walked all over OU was impressive. I do not believe though that any Big 12 team can compete this year with the SEC. Though it was low scoring, I really enjoyed the LSU/Bama game earlier this season. IMO I think it's the correct matchup again for the National Championship.
