I think that's where the problem was first time around ... I didn't do the updates before I started "playing" .... but even afterwards, it still screwed up. On second install, I did the updates right away and Firefox seemed to work fine. But, I went to watch a youtube movie and the whole computer froze up after about 2 or 3 min ... Ubuntu doesn't seem to have proper drivers for my video card (NVIDIA) but at least the drivers it's using work, for the most part, and that's probably why the thing froze. Whatevah .. I went back to Winders for the time being.

... and 58 mpg on my Wing is believable ? (gotcha!)

Chevron gas - comes with Techron. I use it all the time and I'm getting 58 mpg on my Wing and 44 mpg on my '05 Chev Silverado.

I don't even know why I got this danged thing ... costs me more than it's worth (to me). Was talking with some of the staff here the other day (all young ppl ... 20's) and the subject of Tiny Tim came up and his song Tiptoe Thru the Tulips ... one of the "kids" whipped his phone out and in seconds was playing that song. Suppose I could do that too but I just don't have the desire to play with all that other "stuff" this phone comes with. Would be interesting to see what some of these ppl's cell phone bills look like.

Well, not really but thought it was a "catchy" title LOL Went down to the Harley shop yesterday for their Demo Days .... snapped some pics of their upcoming model....

Here's what I do .... Don't activate/subscribe to anything on my Android phone .... phone calls, text messages, that's it!

Are we talking a NEW bike or USED? The 1100cc Yamaha is/was called a V-Star Should be no problem riding 2-up for them.

This "whack" of money was about 1/3 of the size of the "pile" I shelled out to her! So therefore, a whack is 1/3 of a pile

..and now I'm back in Ubuntu LOL Thought I'd give it another go ..

Did ours back in Feb already. I got a whack of money back due to a pile of money I had to pay out for spousal support to the ex. Thankfully that is over and done with now, so sayeth da Judge!

here I am again, now in open SuSe. Installation as easy as Ubuntu. KDE desktop ... I'm familiar with that. and FireFox hasn't crashed ... yet!

Yes, I nodis ... from reading. I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 ... really not my cuppa tea. FireFox has screwed up three times already LOL Think I'll try the latest version of Open SuSe as that's what I use at work albeit a much older version.

Well, just downloaded and installed Ubuntu and here I am. My system is just over 5 yrs old and Ubuntu is installed on an IDE HDD that's roughly 10 yrs old. System : AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ × 2 RAM : 2Gb

Well, payday isn't until Monday so I had to go rob the piggy ... dang thing would only spit out $11.99 and that's not even US funds so I went downtown and stood on the corner and begged ... took me almost 3 hours to get what I needed, came back here and paid my fee... $12 US= $12.50 CAD It was all worth the effort!!

What version? I used to use Norton Ghost ... used it extensively in my work. Switched to Acronis about 5 years ago. Used to use Symantec products but haven't been too pleased with them so dropped them. I remember the old DOS days ... I didn't go anywhere without a copy of Norton Utilities LOL ... it was a lifesaver back then for my clients.

ok, so where do these colored bikes come from that have the speedo set in MPH ? ... or was that a color for a different year?

In our "History" section it lists the following colors for a 1987 Venture... 1987 blue T ? ( blue ) / Orion Silver 1987 grey T Aurora Silver/ ( ? ) 1987 gold DS/DT Alluvial Gold/ Silky Gold 1987 brown DS/DT Copper Brown/ Birch Brown 1987 brown DS/DT Elegant Brown/ Imperial Brown 1987 black DS/DT Urushi Black/ Marshall Gold My Q is ... are these all 2-tone or could any of them be a single color with 2 possible names?

What is a "minimal version" of Ubuntu and how does that compare to a "complete Linux package" ??? I haven't explored what Ubuntu has to offer lately but a year ago, there were 2 versions ... a "server" version and a "desktop" version (can't recall if that is the correct terminology) but basically, two versions and If you installed the server version, that's all you get... a flashing cursor if I remember correctly. I think on a server version you do everything from a command line (aka "flashing cursor") ... however, I was wrong once before .

No, not "that customized" ... I did say "personalized" We'll be looking forward to your "personalized" F6B

awesome... a while back I've seen where a member here put a chrome one on his RSV ... looked fantastic!

WOW!

you might have a weak password then .... google "password generator" ... there are free apps that will generate some pretty secure passwords.

So many are "lost" without cruise ... I wonder ... is it because most of their riding is done on the "slab"? I ask this because, that is the only time I ever use mine and only if it's light traffic so, in other words, I'm not even sure if mine is working as I haven't used it since last year .

Actually, 5 year old systems are not uncommon. Most of our "agent" PC's here at work are going into their 7th year and still running strong. My home system is now 6 years old and no problems since new and it wasn't an overly powerhouse box either. I've had it on WinXP dual booting to Linux on a second HDD for a while, then I blew away Linux and WinXP and installed Win 7 Pro and been on that for the past couple years. FWIW, I used Open SuSe Linux. Also run that on one of our servers here at work. Don't really care much for Ubuntu and it's derivatives ... seems to be more geared to the "Windows" home users.

dang Brian! I feel so bad ... I think I'll refrain from riding this weekend just to be in support of your situation. NOT ! . . . .
