  2. Hey Bill, Nice grab. P/S I think I see a left side chrome air intake for the left fairing. I have been looking for one for awhile now. If it is in good shpe and if you are willing to part with it I would be interested in it.
  3. Prayers and condolenses sent for all concerned. May she rest in eternal peace.
  4. She sounds like my wife. She bought a helmit about two years before getting on. then a leather jacket about six months before getting on. Then one day she wanted to go to a local restaurant for breakfast and on the bike, a short ride but longer day trips came shortly after, She still does not like the open highway so all trips have to be planned W/O highways.
  5. prayer sent and fingers crossed for your friend. Thankfully these types of surgery's are becoming old hat and have a very good success rate so keep thinking positive.
  6. :rotfl: :rotfl:sorry couldn't help myself :rotfl:
  7. I think some people put a resister in the battery sensor wire to eliminate the sensor when they have installed a sealed battery, and cannot use the sensor. check out this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=489
  8. What do you mean ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,again???????
  9. Usually a group begins to form in Toronto, joins up with another group in Burlington from there stop at Casablanca were we swell the ranks some more then again at the border or some point in Buffalo. As the time draws near fixed meeting points will be posted
  10. Correct me if I am wrong but are sew on not the same as iron on except with adhesive added to the back of the patch. Meaning you could still sew on the iron on one. If so make mine the iron on ones
  11. I believe that for the most part they are. You can check for yourself at these site though. Sometimes the part number changes due to some slight modification yet the part is still interchangable such as the rear drive because the later ones have an added hole for an electronic speed sensor or the gear ratio is different but yet they are still interchangable. Check these parts sites. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/partviewer/default.aspx?ls=sport http://www.bikebandit.com/yamaha-motorcycle-parts/oem-parts/s/m14s2 http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/
  12. Hey Dan tell the Warden Congratulations and give her a big hug for me. She deserves it after 25 years of Yammer Dan,
  13. Sorry to hear you two and your familly's are having such a rough go of it. I wish you all the luck and hope things turn around soon and get much better for you.
  14. put me down for two 3 1/2 inch, and two 9 inch
  15. Me too, but not quite 200 years, that would put you right in the middle of the war of 1812. I would prefer 1865 the start of the cowboy era. I would still be a saddlebum but on a horse instead of a MC
  16. I noticed that when I switched from dino oil to amsoil synthetic the noise did get louder as well as the ticking from the valve train so I have been considering going back to dino oil, for awhile now.
  17. Lets see $3 a gallon for gas plus $9 a pint for ses foam = 40 mpg This is saving you money how exactly
  18. Actually If I am not mistaken but in maney states and provinces it is a criminal offense if you knowingly have a life threatning social disease and fail to A- wear a condom or B- fail to inform your partner.
  19. In ontario at one time if your exhaust, regardless of the type of vehicle, exceeded a certian decible level you would be charged with either excessive noise or disturbing the piece. I have to admit though, when I got passed by wisper quiet Harleys, on the roads of Germany it seemed wierd.
  20. 1- convertables are on 4 wheels 2- convertables are less likely to be run off the road 3- convertables are less likely to flip over or wipe out in an average emergancy situation. 4- convertables are less likely to loose control on compromising road surfaces Be clear of one thing. Insurance company's don't pay, WE DO. They simply transfer cash from our pocket to someone else's and take a big handling fee for doing so. In between transfers they use and invest the money for thier own gain. Who gets to choose wether or not to care for this same person for the rest of thier life when thier freedom of choice, backfires and puts them in the hospital or in a critical condition for the rest of their life. My wifes cousin excercized his right to ride without a helmet. He ended up being a vegetable in a wheel chair and now his familly is struggling with the time and cost to care for him. It was not their freedom of choice, it was his. But they no have NO choice but to look after him for the rest of thier lives.
  21. Man did I mess up this was not the fri 13th my two coworkers booked off. I could have gone :bang head:
  22. I find it amazing that people will wear protective leathers to protect thier hide but refuse to wear a Helmet. Just sayin. P/S I too have scraped a helmet or two over the years and am thankful it was only my helmet. In my accident in 2007 I did about six somersaults from 40 km an hour, wrote off the bike and walked away. I am sure NO helmet then, would have meant NO Saddlebum today.
  23. Heck you make that sound like a bad thing .......Turn the clock back I say.
  24. Avoid using di-electric grease directly on the contact terminals of low voltage reference circuits such as sensor wires or data link circuits. These cicuits typicaly only use 5 volts and the grease can become a barrier to the low currant flow.
