What Margaret said ! I have been riding for some 40 years and during that time, have joined up with a number of different groups...some were organized and others were just a bunch going on a ride together. Each time I never stuck with any of them for any length of time because of a number of different reason's...boils down to compatibility issues and lack of acceptance of differences...some were too "rule strict", others simply had no rules of any kind. I gave up on that scene and chose to either ride alone or with only one or two other bikers...someone who was a close friend already. I joined this group online initially to learn about fixing various things on my scoot...actually, I joined another "venture" site first back when I had my '85 ... then I found this group when I got my '87. I started getting a bit more "involved" here and found the folks very easy to communicate with....then I met a few in person...that was great...then I took a bigger plunge and went to one of the rally's (Venture West IV) ... THAT sold me on this group of great people (if nothing else already had). To be associated with and to ride with this group has restored my faith in being a part of a "motorcycle riding family". I have rubbed shoulders with a couple other groups locally and instinct told me that I would not find the same comeraderie(sp?) as I do here. What it boils down to is finding a group of people who share and have a passion for at least one common interest, have a lot of compassion and empathy, and are not judgemental or superficial.

well, I can't speak for the others here but that certainly is true for me!

well, I'm a VB / VBA programmer specializing in medium sized database applications and MS Office or other VB compatible apps integration development, what you're talking is as much jibberish to me as english is to a newborn! Good luck!

I have one solution to this whole mess .... don't invest!

you do that.....and watch out for the snake:rotf:...

I've never been known to be diplomatic....

you could always bookmark it...that's what I do.

in a manner of speaking....yes

LOL... I had to go back to the original post just to refresh my memory on what this was all about...now I have to ask...just how "close" is this relationship between Froggy and his secretary that he's comfortable enuf (and so is she) for her to come rescue him from the head..errr I mean bathroom??? :rotf:
-

so you're really trying to brainwash me into buying a VMax huh? Well, I'd love to have one but not as a "first bike". On second thought, if I did have one, I'd probably kill myself on it ..... nope, not gonna have one...nosiree! -

heck no .... and I'll have even less sense come next spring...or maybe I'll just keep the '87 as a second scoot....just so I can smoke a Harley (or a 2nd gen) from time to time. -
Where this thread is going, one has to have been there to understand it LOLOL

or, you could upgrade to a 1st gen and experience some REAL power! :witch_brew: -

-
I really, really wanted to comment about bathrooms and a "snake" but I won't.....
-
OK...ya got me!! Ya probably been sitting there, just waiting for the right opportunity...haven't ya? LOL

I remembered almost all of the faces but never knew the names of some of them... that was kewl to find out their names...as I was watching, I'd think "so that's what his name was..." or a couple times, I recalled the name but hadn't known what face went with that name.... good post! So what did I do after that?... started looking them up on Wikipedia... WOW
-
I think it's wrong that you placed the link here so that I could see those pics during my workday...I mean, do you have ANY IDEA how difficult it is to CONCENTRATE on my WORK with pics such as those???? Not to mention what could happen to me if anyone here saw me looking at those pics!!!!... I mean, I enjoy a bit of privacy at my desk...if ANY of the MALE co-workers happened to notice those pics..... :rotf:

What is everyones favorite chrome accessories?
SilvrT replied to roadwarrior's topic in Bike Accessories
Chrome Paint in colors??? I'd love to find a "chrome paint" that, when applied, actually looks like chrome.... every "so-called" chrome paint I've WASTED my MONEY on was not even close to chrome. -
so, what you're really saying is... her fussin WON!

talk about chrome!!!!! -
man... you crack me up!! :rotf: I'm determined to upgrade next spring and I'm sure I'll sell the '87 then (if not over the winter). I am seriously looking at the '09 Ultra and will be looking at the "Cow" Voyager as well. The '09 Ultra is listed at the local dealer for 23,500. I figure the Voyager to run around 22k up here so with that in mind, those "shocking waves" will be spread out over several months of payments to my banker which will diminish the blow significantly. On the other hand, I haven't ruled out an older 2nd gen either but come spring, I will definately be riding a new or newer scoot.

Yikes!!! I wonder what that will equate to up here in CaNuhDuh....eh

Harley touring versus venture
SilvrT replied to Bobcatpat's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I like the new '09 Harley Ultra and it's good to read all this great info and comparisons. It will help to make a very informed decision next spring when we go to buy our new scoot.
