  1. Oh geeeez.... yes, you win ... ya caught me on a technicality!
  2. 2nd gen what .... can't be meaning a Venture coz I had one and there's no way.
  3. Who's comparing ... and who cares ... it's all a lotta kibitzing. On that note, I'd like to see a V-rod try to outrun a 1st gen, a 2nd gen, or a Wing on the twisties ... ain't gonna happen! It's sole purpose is to get from one Harley bar to the other faster. (more kibitzing)
  4. RICHIE!!!! are you saying a second gen is slow...er ?? BAD BaD BAD .... go to the corner!!
  5. ya just HAD to slip that one in there didntcha! One thing is for sure and that is everyone has a problem following a Wing ..... coz ya can't keep up with us!!
  6. Good point! ... it's not just the Harleys that have loud pipes. In fact, they could be Yamaha V*'s, Victorys, Kawas, and a few others. We shouldn't be singling out the Harleys on this one.
  7. I always tell the Harley guys to let me start my bike first otherwise I can't tell if it's running or not LOL
  8. Anti-virus program doing a scan maybe?
  9. joking? those 1st genners weren't joking.... they actually believe their antequated bikes are faster than a 2nd gen ...
  10. KOOL!!! ... and I got sumpin "special" for them to see too! :Laugh:
  11. yep, I believe that was the story I'd read...and remembered. Thanks for digging that up.
  12. puffing blue on startup generally indicates valve oil seals leaking a bit. nothing to be concerned about unless it's excessive.
  13. Kerry ... I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't publicize such things about my and Nina's "kinky, dark side" Saw your letter ... doubt they'd print mine
  14. Here's where/how I mounted mine ... and the antenna is on the dash, at the base of the windscreen. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=533884&postcount=8
  15. I am in total agreement with the highlited sentence.
  16. I totally understand and agree with your comments; however, is it possible something happened to this person that they are unable to respond? Is there any way anyone here who might live close to the seller can check up on him?
  17. are you tryin to tell me that this danged 'puter is monitoring my eye movements and can recognize what I'm looking at?
  18. I came up with this saying a few days ago (although I'm sure someone else has as well) .... Honda should have continued building the Valkyrie ... but they runed it. ok ... ggrrroooaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn... LOL
  19. ya... I tend to ignore it too ... but my curiosity has gotten me wondering why it appears and what does it really mean.
  20. The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts. When I click on "New Posts", I sometimes get the above message below the list. I really don't understand it ... especially for the most recent one which was my own thread that has no posts other than my own. ?????????????????
  21. This is not the first time they've done this kind of thing. I read a while ago about this guy who'd put a zillion +/- miles on his HD ... and they gave him a brand new one. Wish I could find that story. I'd bet they've done things such as this several times. Let's face it ... there's really no other motocycle company like 'em.
  22. A great story! http://www.timescolonist.com/news/Island+dealer+help+return+Harley+that+rode+tsunami/6552187/story.html
  23. I don't recall reading anywhere whether or not those kids were wearing DOT helmets or not or if they were, specifically what style? The majority of sport bike riders seem to favor a full-face. I do not know of any full-face helmets that are not DOT.
  24. Following was posted on another board by a Victoria rider ... I'm assuming he's stating factual info but I can't vouch for it... these changes are "credited" to two mothers who lost their sons to "high speed" accidents.......one rider had just received his learners licence. Bought a GSX1000 the next day. Two restrictions on his learners licence: must be under direct supervision of a person with a mc licence, not to ride on a highway over 60 kmh. When he was unable to make a curve on the Malahat at approx. 150 kmh then hit a rock wall. He was breaking two rules, now his mother wants the government to add new regulations........
