You said this incident occurred at Little Rock Ark. What kind of animal shoots someone point blank before a robery anyway? I'm certainly going too check this out thru their local news. Oh, Yammer Dan hope you told those SumBags some good nite stories before tucking them in for the night.....

You really don't plan for an incident like that to happen but that's why it's called an accident. We all react different in different situations and luck and timing also play a part. If M/C riding was fool proof with no thrills occasionally, I wouldn't care to ride one.

Very nice, beautiful country hope to see it someday.

Very nice, I had to look twice looks a lot like a Harley Street Glide.

Spray your air line fittings with windex glass cleaner to check system for air leaks. Most bad shocks leak oil instead of air.

Probably in the passing lamp fuse holder. Check and clean both ends of the fuse.

The drive shafts I've pulled on 2nd Gens had no oil on the splines just a little grease from Yamaha. This is why service should be performed every so often like every third tire change.

Nice car, I especially liked his license tag "BYOPEK".

Well I bet if I spent some time on the old inter-web there is still a half a dozen new 2011 Yamaha Ventures tuck away waiting to be sold. So why should Yamaha dump money in a mediocre seller. Just pickup one of these babies for 15 to 16k and ride it for 10 to 15 years.

Just not enough bucks to be made in the touring market compared to the sport bike market. Anyway that V4 just lasts too long not enough repeat buyers.

Hang in there you'll get it done.

Sure can see how working on a Mustang and a Yamaha at the same time can be confusing.

Just courious what have you found that's making all that clacking noise in your motor? My thoughts possibly a broken exhaust valve spring.

Try loosing the two end screws slightly before you do any modifying. You can get those screws to tight and that will cause it too arch up in the middle.

Hildo didn't have any trouble keeping his old Harley lit in the Vedio against that "Yamsukie". a

Even though I own two Harley's I enjoy playing with the hardcore ones with my Honda VTX. Thing is a Harley Rider has to get off some money to out run a 1800 Honda VTX.

Hildo is a "Harley Legend", he can really drop the hammer.

Thanks for Smokin them Pall Malls, that helps my retirement just burn them in moderation for your health.

If you like plenty of torque, shaft drive, coffee size pistons and water cooled might want to look at a Honda VTX 1800. I think 08 might be the last mfg. year though. Still good deals exist. They are known Harley ego busters. Believe from experience.

I feel for these people this is terrible. I hope and pray that this destruction will end soon.

Cowpuc I agree with you on researching or doing your homework wish I had. Also, want too make it clear the Dealer I went back to when I wanted too trade for the Harley Street Glide Special was the Indian dealer whom I bought my Chieftain from. They wanted the Indian plus 8k for the 2014 Harley. No more Indians in my Camp. No resale value!!!!

Well I avoided this thread for a while but I feel the need to give my input on the Indian. AS most of you know I'm a previous owner of an Indian Chieftain. This too was a 2014 left over bike which I purchased January of 2015 with the (5) year mfg. warranty. Let me go over items that really appealed to me first. Handling was superb and light feel for a bike weighing over 800 lbs. amazingly easy to upright off the side stand . Like being able to raise and lower the windscreen with a button. Loved the radio/sterio and hardbag lid speakers also they had the remote key fob locking feature. The Informat with all its bells and features like tire pressure, gear indicator, voltage output, mileage left on tank and several other things if you care to use them. Liked the leather seat being low-slung although close to the rear cylinder. Front fairing did well in the wind experienced very little buffeting in the wind. Ok now for things I just couldn't get passed. Clunky changing transmission. Talked too other Indian owners about this something you just have too live with, "Not Me". When cold need too let engine/transmission warm-up for 15 to 20 minutes suggested by Indian dealer, "Not Me". No frame rails under engine/transmission You'll need to build a cradle to jack-up an Indian, "I Did". Any engine work requires removal of engine from frame such as lifter cam changes, "Not Me". Paint is sorry easy to ding from road use or some hard shell bugs. I had over 23k in this Indian took it back to the dealer to trade on a 2014 Harley Streetglide Special. They said he would allow me $15,000 for my 2014 Indian Chieftain with over (3) years warranty left this was in March of this year. Have no intentions of ever visiting this dealer again. Ended up trading with an independent Harley dealer on a 2013 Harley CVO Roadking and I'm sooo over Indians. All I got too say is "BUYER BEWARE", when it comes to Polaris Indians. They are not your "Dad's Indian".

Keep a cool head and invest wisely. Oh beware of all those scammers out there that are trying too get your last dollar. Congratulations on your win.
