I totaled out my RSV a couple of weeks ago. The insurance company is paying 100% on accessories. They want to know the brand name of my aftermarket windshield, but it was already on the bike when I bought it used. Can anyone tell me, from my profile pic, what company might have made it? It has an unusual green tint. I can email additional pics, if there are any windshield experts that could help. Thanks. 5 broken ribs and a fractured pelvis. But, I'm up and about. Just a little tender. Probably go back to work after next week. My wife won't let me have another bike, so I'm planning a wake. Reasoning is...a motorcyclist without a bike is just a zombie life. Pretty much over, until they put me in a hole. My wake will be much nicer, with me in attendance to welcome condolences. Also...Did the light bar come stock on this bike, or was that an accessory?

I would like to share an experience with you, about drinking and driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years. A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends at the Marriott Hotel and had a few too many beers and some rather nice red wine. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before: I took a bus home. Sure enough I passed a police road block but as it was a bus, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise; as I have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got it from.

I haven't paid too much attention to Harleys for quite a few years, but ain't them thangs still just two cylinders?

BMW is a little pricey for me, but I could really use this feature on my RSV...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIy0e1p1fuI&feature=youtu.be

A couple of years ago, I was shopping for a new helmet. I went to all of the local dealerships. However, I felt pretty dumb, when I walked into my local Harley dealership. I can't speak about all Harley dealerships, but evidently the customers at my local Harley shop do not put a high value on their heads! Not one full face helmet in the store. And there were stickers inside most of the "mini" helmets, stating "for novelty purposes only". What is the "novelty purpose" of a helmet??? Maybe for people who only use their brains for "novelty purposes"??

I would love the opportunity to evaluate this windshield. I own a 2000 RSV Millennium edition, so the windshield would look very nice in photo ops. I ride my bike 26 miles a day, back and forth to work and I enjoy blasting the local backroads every weekend. I have a trip planned this spring, to Pigeon Forge, where I have 3 awesome rides already mapped out, including Cherohala Skyway and Tail of the Dragon. (did I mention photo ops?) Most importantly, I NEED a windshield. (why give one to someone who doesn't need it?) When I bought my RSV, it had a little short, cut down windshield on it. I am much taller than the guy I bought it from, so it didn't do much "wind shielding" for me. It also came with an extra windshield that is tinted green and REALLY tall. It's hard to justify (to wifey) buying a new windshield, when I already have two in good condition. My writing/evaluating skills are decent. Read my restaurant evaluations at: UrbanSpoon http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/profile/823787/dangerousdana.html Lastly, I would just like to say that Free is my favorite price. Thank you, kindly. dana

I need some help with my latest project. I have purchased two new Nolan N-com helmets, and installed the J&M 279 speaker/mic setup. I have never used a setup like this, but I expected to be able to listen to the stereo, and then, when I wanted to talk to the passenger, (or the passenger wanted to talk to me) push the push to talk button (which I thought would cut the stereo) and talk on the Intercom. However, when everything is plugged in and turned on, the stereo plays fine, but the intercom is also on all the time. The stereo does not "mute" (maybe it isn't supposed to?). Pushing either push to talk button has no effect. We can both talk over the music and hear each other. But, since the intercom is on all the time, the mic also picks up motor and wind noise and transmits it through the intercom, making the intercom useless while driving. HYPOTHESIS: I am guessing that one of the push to talk buttons is shorted out, or one of the intercom button wires is shorted somewhere. I'm also guessing that the intercom buttons close the circuit that should be open except when the button is pushed??? If the circuit is close all the time and the button opens the circuit, then something could just be unplugged. Please tell me how the intercom is supposed to work. Is it supposed to cut the stereo when the push to talk button is pushed, or is it supposed to work in the background of the music. Do you think there is a short somewhere, and if so, is there a common place that this would occur; where should I start looking? Thanks, in advance. dana

In my neck of the woods, we have Waffle Houses on every corner and sometimes, across the street from each other. They have the nickname "Awful Waffle". I've never understood why they are called waffle house. The first time I went to a Waffle House, (years ago) I assumed they'd have all kinds of waffles, (I mean after all, they're called "Waffle House".) Belgian waffles, German waffles, Strawberry Waffles, Blueberry Waffles, Pecan Waffles, Almond, and other specialty waffles. But they only had one waffle on the menu, and it was kinda flat and leathery. Now a days, they do have two or three different waffles on the menu, but they are all still really flat. Not like a Belgian Waffle or even a regular waffle you would cook at home. (the little square waffle holes are just not very deep and some are completely washed out! I've always wondered why they can't buy a decent waffle iron.) Another Waffle House peculiarity...most of the waitresses are missing one or more front teeth!

This blonde that I work with, came back to work today. She was carrying this big stainless steel Thermos, and wearing a big smile. So, I asked her, "did you get that for Christmas?" "Yes. My daddy bought it for me. Do you know what it is?" She replied. Playing along, I said, "Why don't you tell me about it." She says, "It is called a Thermos. It is a truly amazing device, scientifically speaking!" "Really. What does it do?" I said, figuring this had to be good. "My daddy says it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold" she bragged. "What have you got in it?" I inquired. "Popsicles and coffee" she answered, with her most innocent smile.

There is a group that is going to meet at Mama Lou's in Robertsdale for breakfast at 7:30 and then be ready to ride at 9:00 to the Stagecoach as a group. Please join us at Mama Lou's and ride up with us, if you can. dana

If I were on that bike in that same situation, I am absolutely positive that I would not have crashed. It would not have even developed into a close call. That being said, now I drive an RSV and I have to consider that near 1000 lbs in every move I make. I would not have attempted that on the RSV. My vote for the cause of this crash is ABSOLUTELY lack of riding experience or skill. As my good friend Clint once said, "A man's got to know his limitations."
