If it was a 2012 then it would have the 5 yr. They discontinued that in 2013. I could only get 2 yr on mine and that's all they're offering on the 2014s Having said that, I believe you can purchase a 3rd party extended warranty but from what I've heard, there are so many caveats that it's not worth the money. Guy on the Vic site just found out his shifter fork was bent ... he had one of those 3rd party warranties ... they wouldn't do anything for him coz he had installed a Power Commander. This was on a 2011 model.

Rattle can job?

All I can add to this poetry... Is life's a Venture on my Victory

FWIW ... Victory does not have a 5 yr warranty. That only applied to a specific year as a promo.

You can lead a horse to water....... As puc says.... be there for them, support and love them, be a role model, try and educate them to the best of your abilities .... but generally speaking, kids will learn their own lessons. Turn them over to the law? That's a damn hard thing to do. My son has had more than his share of drinking, partying, and drug use. At 45 he's learned a few lesson's the hard way (I won't go into details but at least nobody died) and is finally taking those lessons seriously and straightening his life out. He's quit the drugs a few years ago, doesn't drive when drinking, has seriously reduced his consumption to weekends only, and is into a very healthy eating and exercise regime. Somewhat like me, I knew he would "grow out of it" in his 40's. I am so glad nothing serious happened along the way.

When I had my RSMV, I would generally not go into 5th until appx 110 km/h. Now, we know 80 km is 50 miles so ..... Can't remember at what speed I would change out of 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th. Where in BC are you? I'm in Burnaby. Wife and I were out riding for almost 5 hrs yesterday. Weather was great!

It would appear that it's no longer available as I can't get it anymore either.... [ATTACH]82596[/ATTACH]

I'm gonna print this as EVIDENCE! Oh, and just to add some contradiction to my post .... This was back in 2009 the day I sold my '87 [ATTACH]82541[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]82542[/ATTACH]

The title of this thread is "How photogenic is your RSV? " It seems SOME ppl don't know an RSV from ... uh ... those OLD relics...

ahhhhhh .... let's see now .... should I go that way? [ATTACH]82524[/ATTACH] Taken in 2009 when I had this black beauty.

are you laffin at me ????? just remember, I don't get mad, I get even ...

Several years ago when I was teaching introduction to Windows 95 to a group of office workers we got on the subject of passwords in a corporate workplace. Keep in mind that most of these people were fairly new to Windows; however they did have to key in usernames and passwords in various other internal business applications. One person in particular had 10 different passwords. I asked her "how do you manage to remember them all?" Her reply: "Oh, that's no problem ... I have them all written down on a sticky note stuck to my monitor!" :doh:

The GL1800 is an awesome bike alright. Had one for a while ... felt more like a 2-wheeled car to me. There will come a day when I will flip this Vic for a Wing ... when I get OLD.

yup, they do -but- you can get a hydraulic clutch kit for them. On older models some have had the cables break but I haven't heard much about that on newer ones. Mine works fine and I don't even realize it's cable.

kinda like me ... but I did it anyway LOL

LOL ... and at my age, stuff I read just doesn't sink in or stay very long I guess

don't feel bad ... most of the time I'm just adlibbing anyway

he's getting a 2nd gen coz at his age, a 1st gen is just too fast ...

Good idea

what version(s) of linux are you using? From my understanding, Samba is what allows a Linux machine to share files back and forth with Windows. Samba is generally included with default "Workgroup" settings when a Linux distro is installed. Samba was what allowed me to interconnect with my Windows machines back in 2000. From Wikipedia: Samba is a free software re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, originally developed by Andrew Tridgell. As of version 3, Samba provides file and print services for various Microsoft Windows clients and can integrate with a Windows Server domain, either as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or as a domain member. It can also be part of an Active Directory domain. Samba runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems, such as Linux, Solaris, AIX and the BSD variants, including Apple's Mac OS X Server and Mac OS X client (version 10.2 and greater). Samba is standard on nearly all distributions of Linux and is commonly included as a basic system service on other Unix-based operating systems as well. Samba is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The name Samba comes from SMB (Server Message Block), the name of the standard protocol used by the Microsoft Windows network file system.

I remember back around 2000 (+/-) when I first started messing with Linux (Corel Linux) I found it quite easy to do this in a "home" network. About 5 years ago I set up a Linux server here at the office using openSuSe 10.1 and had little trouble but I still had to use SAMBA. Keep in mind that we are operating within a Windows Domain, not a simple workgroup. With current distros, this process seems to be getting more complex, especially with more secure domain controllers and Windows OSs. What I am unable to do so far is browse the Windows network and see all the computers (in this install) yet I was able to when I installed this version of openSuSe earlier in the week (yes, I've installed this one 3 different times LOL). What I can do; however, is connect directly to a share on a Windows machine using it's IP address\share name from Dolphin.

FWIW ... After installing roughly 6 different linux distros on a workstation and attempting to configure SAMBA on each one as well as join a Windows Domain, I've found openSuSe Linux to be the least problematic while at the same time, having by default the appropriate "tools". That said, it has not been without a struggle. At this point I can easilly access the Linux machine from a Windows workstation yet I am only able to access one of my Windows servers (and none of the workstations) from the Linux machine. Still got some "tweaking" to do....
