    I was so tempted yesterday to get a 1 day permit and go for a ride....had other commitments tho but it's sure nice to see this sunshine eh! Reading the other posts, I'm sure there will be some chuckling when we refer to a cold snap as being minus 2 LOL heck, I laff at myself coz most of my life has been in much colder climates but now that I've been "climatized" to the west coast, minus 2 is COLD!

    well up here in Canada, they have a full "burger & fries" kinda menu... have had for a long, long time...plus the ice cream goodies. DQ is famous for their "braizier" burgers... big, round, juicy.... yum!!! my favourite! Actually, they're flame grilled ... aka "braised" ... I'm not even sure if they advertise "braizier" anymore...I should look when I get there (in about 20 min).

    I don't care what the destination is; it's all about the ride. I choose a direction and go. A numb butt comes with the territory, but so does terrific scenery, time to think, and lonely roadside diners in towns past their prime.

    I have been in the computer business for 20 yrs (many of you know this) and I can tell you .... I've evaluated Vista for my place of work...there's NO WAY we will be upgrading from XP until we have no other recourse. Our current PC's are only a bit over a year old. They run XP and we've had no issues at all. In fact, I have been running XP on my own system since XP came out and have been supporting it on as many as 1000+ systems in all kinds of specialized environments. When the time comes that we are forced to upgrade to Vista, I hope and pray that Microsoft has brought out a replacement for Vista that works as good as XP. Without question, Vista is one you should stay away from if at all possible. I'd recommend a MAC or going to Linux before I'd recommend Vista. Incidentally, Dell systems as well as many others can be ordered with Linux installed. Linux has way more "goodies" available at no cost and many of them work better than their Windows counterparts IMHO. And while I'm thinking about it, Microsoft Office 2007 sux even worse than Vista. ok, enuf coz I'm getting mad now... just my $0.02

    FYI... this '87 is my 2nd frst gen. 1st one was an '85. The '85 had a real bothersome whine in 4th & 5th around 3000 rpm... I rode that for 5 years...learned to live with it...worked the gearing soas I wasn't in that rpm a lot. My '87 doesn't whine but has a noise on deceleration... again..I'm learning to live with it. I love the 1st gen Venture and eventually will get a 2nd gen because I love the looks of them and the ride as well and for me, if what I buy has a whine, I'll learn to live with that too because there are just too many good things about these bikes IMHO. Yamaha VR's & RSV's ROCK!

    I heard about all this on the news yesterday.... and they say Vancouver (where I live) is the 2nd least happy place in all of Canada (for a major city). Finally I have a legitimate excuse for being so GRUMPY!!!

    May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had, forget your home address! In simple words ............ May 2008 be the best year of your life!!!
