  1. Not sure if this will work, but here google captured a whole bunch of Yamaha Ventures http://goo.gl/maps/5p62Q
  2. This is the one I have. Called CyclePump It is small, works well, and had good write ups when I did my research years ago. Still have it, still works. Not cheap though. http://www.bestrestproducts.com/images/Product/medium/30.jpg http://www.bestrestproducts.com/p-30-cyclepump-adventure-combo-w-gauge.aspx For plug kits, I bought a kit by BMW that uses mushroom plugs. It also works well. Never used it on my bike, but fixed two car tires with it. Can't remember how much it was. Someone in our SCRC got them and I bought one from him years ago.
  3. Maybe they will introduce the Venture Royale. Heard they found a large stash of cassette decks.
  4. Lisa and I could make either of the three weekends. 14/17 would work the best though.
  5. I hope that whatever challenge has caused your decision... you can beat it and put it behind you.
  6. I grew up driving in snow in western MD. Now I live in east TN. By no fault of their own.... folks down here have absolutely no clue how to drive in snow/ice! None! I stay home. Not because snow scares me... but because I knew at least half those I encounter will have no idea what to do. I hope no one in that video was seriously hurt.
  7. I have sold several things online. One tip I would suggest is NEVER allow someone to come to your home to see something. And never go to someone elses home to buys something. Find a public area with lots of people to meet. A police station parking lot would be a good place if you have one close. And of course packing is always good if you are permitted.
  8. Mine did that right before my battery died a few years back.
  9. 102,000 on my 2002, so looks like I average around 8500 miles a year.
  10. I tried it on my smartphone. I actually prefer to use the normal web version on my phone as well. It did seem to work however.
  11. Never heard of it. Two questions I would ask are: 1. Is it rebuildable and how much to rebuild. 2. What is the warranty. The shock I went with and so far am very happy with is the Hagon heavy duty shock adjusted specifically to my weight and loading style. It was $469 which included shipping. Hagon shocks are rebuilable and have a two year warranty. I think they told me a rebuild out of warranty would be like $130 http://www.hagonshocksusa.com/ Merry Christmas
  12. Merry Christmas y'all from Tennessee! I hope 2014 brings everyone many miles of safe travels.
  13. I got out and burned a tank of gas yesterday. It felt good. Even got in a DQ stop for a pumpkin pie blizzard. Yum! Saturday is only calling for 30% rain. I might get a few more miles on then after hunting.
  14. Love my Gerbings! Have the jacket liner, riding pants, glove liners and socks. If done over, I would have skipped the pants. I never find it necessary to turn them on. Good insulated riding pants would be just as good. What I don't like about the gerbings riding pants is they have no vents should it warm up later in the day. I bought a spare MC battery and I take it with me into my deer stand. This way I get to use the heated gear while hunting as well. Yes Gerbings sells its own batteries, but a MC battery from wally world is cheaper. In fact, that is where I will be in half an hour. Sitting in my stand at 28 degrees all toasty warm..
  15. After being retired for 1 1/2 years, I decided to find a part time gig to fill my time. For the past year I have worked at Lowes part time. It really is a great place to work for retirees wanting a flexible schedule. But it is true what some posted about the younger kids and the turn over rate. I never considered myself an expert at anything regarding home improvement, but have over time done many electrical, plumbing and construction projects around the house. But that simple experience allows me to offer basic help to a lot of folks. I am amazed at the kids who work here that know absolutely nearly zero about home improvement. So next time you are at the big box places... look for the gray hairs.
  16. Craiglist has been good for me as well. Both buying and selling. Sold a jetski and RV recently. I do as others mentioned and I do not list an email address at all. I list a phone number and ask them to either call or text. I make sure I mention "not interested in trades of any sort. Cash only" That cuts down on a lot of the hairbrained propositions I got. Finally, when I list the phone number, I do so like this... Four five six - 555 - one two one two. That seems to help prevent the number from being harvested by bots.
  17. Wear it backwards???
