    This is a very good bid of advice. Many, many years ago, while cursing the Blue Ridge Parkway I was looking at the sites and when my eyes returned to the road, well I was looking at the center of a monster truck !!!

    MSF Course

    Mickey replied to a topic in Safety and Education

    The MSF classes are Great !!! I rode for 30 years before I took my first one, and I learned a lot. Very much worth the cost and time involved !!!

    Back in the fall of 2006, my wife and I set out on a nice October ride and a tree hit us !! Really, I happened to notice out of the corner of my eye, what I thought was a branch falling from a maple tree. Well, it happened so quickly, but for a split second I thought isn't that odd, a healthy branch with leaves falling...... Next second, leaves and branches everywhere !!! Everything was OK until the tree trunk got stuck on the center stand, the bike was going down !!! Well as a last ditch effort, I firmly planted my right foot onto the pavement, it worked, and dislodged the tree from the bike, but it also slammed my foot rearward into the passengers peg. At this time, enough had gone on and my wife realized what had happened. She didn't even know the tree fell on us because she was looking off in the other direction at the colorful fall foliage. Thank goodness she didn't see the tree, as I don't know what she would have done. Anyway, at this point I start screaming "I think I broke my leg, I think I broke my leg, honey, please try to help hold the bike up when we stop !!" I managed to stop the bike and got it on the side stand without dropping it. Man, oh man did my right shin hurt, but I was able to move and walk on it, so I was OK. The bike was hardly even scratched !! Within minutes two homeowners came running out to the road to see what happened since they heard the tree fall and my screaming. The men went back to their garages for a chainsaw, but not before we snapped a few pictures. We continued our ride, since we were supposed to meet my parents for lunch at a restaurant about 50 miles farther. For the rest of the ride all I could think about was all the darn trees on the sides of the road and which one of them might fall on us. It wasn't until I got on the section of four lane divided highway, that I felt safe from the darn trees!!!!!! I was never happier to get off a nice country road and on a divided highway !!!! Mike

    Hello, Would anyone who owns the Diamond R Accessories RSV LED Saddlebag Light Bar be able to eMail me the installation instructions ??? I'm particularly interested in knowing if it is necessary to lower the mufflers in order for light bar installation. Thanks in advance, Mike

    It would be great for a compact car, but at 970 pounds, that would double the weight of the bike, not including passengers and cargo...... too much load on the brakes I would say. Mike

    Hi, Bummer thanks a lot !! Mike

    Most everyone will agree, the 4 piston rear caliper is over powerful and can cause premature rear wheel lock up. Has anyone swapped out the 4 piston caliper unit for a one or two piston rear caliper unit ?? If so please let me know what was done, is there a bolt on replacement available from some other Yamaha model ?? Thanks, Mike
  22. Mickey
    Very nice unit !!!!! If I didn't just purchase the VentureMP3 unit on sale($100), I would have seriously considered this unit !!!!!

    Hey ablumny, Funny thing, a week or so ago I was on You Tube looking at RSV Muffler clips, when I came across your muffler, then your rice coal starter videos !!!! From there I guess I followed a link to the coal site, and found you on there too !!! I burn rice coal also. I've had my stove for 10 years and love it. My stove isn't as fancy as yours, it's an Alaska Stoker II. It's more of a basement model, to which I've placed a jacket around and have ducted forced air heat from the stove to the main floor of my ranch home. I'm close to Pa. and pick up my bulk coal with my pick-up and then shovel it onto a coal shoot I've constructed into my basement. See attached picture of my stove set up and coal shoot. Mike
