Here's to a Happy Thanksgiving for all you "sutherners" ...

You're joking ... right?

It's not an opinion, it's a FACT. When I went from my RSMV to the Wing, it was like riding a MUCH lighter bike. Slow speed handling was a breeze in comparison to the RSMV. Now with the Vic, it's even easier. I would never go back to a RSV because of that.

I had a 2003 Wing for appx 1.5 years before I bought the Vic. Really liked the Wing, awesome power, great handling, super smooth ... but it felt too much like driving a car on 2 wheels, so I bought a real motorcycle LOL

I, for one, understand and know it can be frustrating. Thank you Don for your efforts to please us.

On 6 August 1991, the World Wide Web became publicly available. INVENTED ... Really??? Some info for "HIS" Internet... Al Gore served as the Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. He is the co-winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. In the 1980s and 1990s, he promoted legislation that funded an expansion of the ARPANET, allowing greater public access, and helping to develop the Internet. As far back as the 1970s Congressman Gore promoted the idea of high-speed telecommunications as an engine for both economic growth and the improvement of our educational system. He was the first elected official to grasp the potential of computer communications to have a broader impact than just improving the conduct of science and scholarship [...] the Internet, as we know it today, was not deployed until 1993. When the Internet was still in the early stages of its deployment, Congressman Gore provided intellectual leadership by helping create the vision of the potential benefits of high speed computing and communication. As an example, he sponsored hearings on how advanced technologies might be put to use in areas like coordinating the response of government agencies to natural disasters and other crises. The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network. The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network. The technology continued to grow in the 1970s after scientists Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf developed Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, or TCP/IP, a communications model that set standards for how data could be transmitted between multiple networks. ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983, and from there researchers began to assemble the “network of networks” that became the modern Internet. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. While it’s often confused with the Internet itself, the web is actually just the most common means of accessing data online in the form of websites and hyperlinks. The web helped popularize the Internet among the public, and served as a crucial step in developing the vast trove of information that most of us now access on a daily basis.

Similar thing almost happened to me when my daughter clicked on some link while connected to my Internet. Provider sent me a warning which I was able to rectify on her computer. Don't open emails you're not sure of. Don't click on links in emails unless you're absolutely sure it's coming from a reliable source. (sometimes this requires you to verify it beforehand) Get a good anti-virus program that scans email. Ensure your computer is set to automatically create regualar restore points.

So glad I don't have a Granddaughter named Jenna ... I'll not get caught in that scam

A bit late but .... Click on Settings (top right corner) When the screen changes, click on General Settings on the Left sidebar. When the screen changes, scroll to the bottom. You will see " Exclude forums from "What's New":" Scroll the listbox so you can see -Links to classifieds, Craigslist, eBay -Ebay listings -Venturerider merchandise Click on the first one you don't want. Hold the Ctrl key down and subsequently click on each of the others you don't want. Click Save Changes That is all you need to do.

According to Freebird, this feature can be turned off if enough folks prefer it that way. He says he's only heard from a handful of us that don't want it there. Myself, I don't like it. It's wasting screen space. This appears at the top of the screen when you click on Today's Posts or New Posts and perhaps elsewhere. So, get your vote in so that Don can work his magic (or not).

My winter project has nothing to do with a motorcycle... We just bought a place (had been renting for past 8 years) and we're moving into it this coming weekend. The "winter project" will revolve around settling in and making the place "ours". That will run us right into spring once the weather is dry enough, I'll be building a new deck out the back and making changes to the existing landscaping. Hopefully all will be done in time to get some good 3 and 4 day riding weekends in! (the Vic needs nothing 'cept a rear tire) FWIW, stock tire is E3 and I've got just over 21,000 Kms on it (that's a bit over 13,000 miles for you "non-metric" folk) and it's almost all 2-up riding.

ahhhhhh ... just remembered, there was a little "chevron - like" icon on the right of the screen where you could collapse or expand such things ... I think the cookies or something remember the "state" (collapsed or expanded). We don't have that now.

I asked the same Q a while back ... the Boss's answer was "No, it can't be turned off. We had the same type pictures on the old site too and they couldn't be turned off either." Frankly, I don't recall seeing that on the old site.

Except for ONE thing ..... ME

I know for a fact that these lenses ............ WILL NOT FIT .... my Victory!

Congrats ... and what will your new Nic be? "RV" "Tour De Strom" or it even could be "RSV" .... maybe we should have a contest to help you pick your new Nic ...???
