If you have the money order would the bank not be able to tell you in whose name they issued it.

I take it the first pic was that speacial eye candy for Brad. I sure hope Rhonda isn't the jealous type or Brad will be going down again, only this time without the bike.

Decided to Rest in the middle of an Intersection

Sadly in many of these types of situation the cop will say " well if you got a piece of him we could lay charges " Try doing that with a bike without killing yourself. -
All I can say is it messed up my entire work day. I always go on before I go to work, but yesterday because the system was down, I spent the entire shift worrying about it, lost total on the job concentration. Heck I could have been fired, forced into taking a severance package and left with nothing to do but ride my venture all day long. I am telling you it was a close call.

Make millions: invent the canceler canceler!

How about installing a gyro in conjunction with a latching relay. As soon as the bike is upright after the turn the signal goes off. -

That was a really tough break Brad. Glad that for the most part you are OK. It could have been worse good thing you were not going any faster than you were or he may have clipped you. I can well imagine what must have gone through poor Rhonda's mind as she watched it all go down. Hope she is OK as well. -
I Agree with all but the Rickards White and you left out Sleemans

Glad to hear she is OK. Hopefully some wisdom came along with the bumps and bruises. Good to hear she wants to climb back on as well. She will likely have some shaky feelings for a while so let her find her own pace.

Fuel cock and shifting ?'s
saddlebum replied to Venture Rob's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
You probably should turn it offwhen parked. but mine has been seized in the reserve position since I bought the bike in 2006 without any ill effects so I don't think you need to loose any sleep over it if you don't turn it off all the time. I guess one day I will get around to fixing it . . someday. . . maybe. -
I have a 14 ft boat with a 25 hp mariner engine on it. The wheel are only 8" and quite often the boat gets packed with extra gear inc. putting a canoe on top. Boat trailers due to the fact that they are constantly in and out of the water tend to be hard on wheel bearings yet I have never had any problems. Because of the smaller overall wheel diameter the wheels spin much faster so make sure you use a good quality water resistant high speed grease. I actually pack mine with a high quality white grease.

I have one of these in silver http://www.hjchelmets.com/prdc_is33.htm and I really love it. The outer clear sheild is also removable by simple movement of a lever on each side. The helmet itself has great air flow speacially when the outer shield is removed, and is ver comfortable. It also comes in full face and modular.

The plastex kit comes with a block of rubber type substance that when warmed up turns to putty. form it around a good stud then use it as a mold to create a new one using the plastex. I have tried it and it works great

Good advice for all to follow, two or twenty.
saddlebum replied to FuzzyRSTD's topic in Safety and Education
I belive it is 1 second behind the bike to the left or right of you. 2 seconds behind the bike directly in front of you. I also prefer single file through the bends with a 3 second interval. In the bends a bike can go down pretty quick for any number of unforseen reasons and going down while in a turn usually means going side ways as well as forward. -
When we decided to agree and join him and Marca at mother tuckers in Burlington I called Marca and made sure she slipped his wallet in his back pocket........I am not sure he leaves it behind by accident and I was not taking any chances ...... the look of dissapointment on his face when he reached back to find it was actually there was priceless:rotfl::rotfl:

First thing make sure the water level is up in your battery, Your battery will not charge properly if it is very low, nor will it deliver proper performance. If not top it up with distiled or deionized water, avoid tap or well water. Then check for parasitic load loss as described in the previous threads. Finally have the battery load tested. A simple check you can do yourself is connect a voltmeter across the battery with everything turned off. Then turn on your ignition and lights while watching your voltmeter to see how quickly the voltage drops off. It should not drop mutch more then a volt or two initially. If it takes a real nose dive the battery is most likly shot. To be sure, varify it by having it charged up and properly load tested.
