is there a variable speed model?

You can install virtual machine software on Linux distro's and run WinXP with your games. I use Linux Mint 15 at home with a Win7 VM and I like it. FWIW, as an "old timer" in the IT biz (since 1987), I've taught and worked with every Windows version since Windows began with exception of Win8. Four versions were standouts: Win-4-Workstations 3.1, Win NT, WinXP, Win7 As n IT pro, I refuse to move from WinXP to Win8 in my workplace. Win7 or Linux will be the only considerations.

Do these come with batteries?

If so, let's hear what you have to say. If not, let's hear what you think. http://www.missinglnk.com/product/jackets-2/mens-rival-jacket/

I'm with ya Eck ... was out for 4.5 hours yesterday ... first ride since Nov 11th. Sure did need the warmth of heated grips, seat, and vest tho as it's still a bit "nippy" but at least it wasn't raining (or snowing LOL). Felt great but it will take a few more rides to cure my PMS!

I'm envious! Have an awesome holiday / 2nd honeymoon ... you and your wife deserve it.

I hate you! (coz I have no hair)

ummmmmmmmm... isn't that saying that it is just me?

Guess I'm in trouble tho as most of that made no sense at all to me....

"quick" being the operative word!

With respect to the Leesur-Lite Excel trailer, I agree ... wife and I loved it. It sets up in a minute unless you have the add-a-room and awning ... those will take appx 1/2 hr. As for towing it, I disagree somewhat with the above ... if you're on flats or slight hills, you hardly know it's behind you. Steeper hills or stop-and-go traffic, parking lots, slow speed, uneven pavement turns, etc .... not so great behind an RSV but a person can get used to that. I sold my RSV and bought a Wing for 2 reason's ... one was ease of towing that trailer with a Wing. It did not matter how steep the hills were or how slow I was going, it pulled that trailer with exceptional ease. FWIW, I'm not a big, burly strong man so even riding the RSV at slow speeds, stop-and-go, uneven roads at slow speed was a challenge for me without the trailer. The Wing was effortless to drive, so is the Vic. To graphically demonstrate the hill climbing ability, towing the leesur-lite with the RSV versus the Wing .... here's a grade chart of one of the highways we often ride on ... [ATTACH]81640[/ATTACH] Going over that with the RSV, I was down to 3rd gear and full throttle at times, maybe running 80-90 km/h. With the Wing, never left 5th gear and full throttle I could pull the steepest grade at least 140 km/h. (just tryin to tell it like it is)

I've seen this one before and it wasn't Saddlebum then ... ???

According to the other gender, our brain would have been protected with the "cup"

Now that's a good site for terrorists to do their planning ....

OK, at home now ... fwiw, no speed loss here. Running Linux Mint 15 and Firefox with not much of a firewall, no A/V or Malware protection (don't need it).

Parts off a 1st gen

Dang... took y'all long enuf didn't it? (yup....SLOW)

Everything at home (internet related) is faster than here at work also but I'm comparing now to a couple months back here at work. Guess I'll dig into my firewall and AV software to see if something there is picking on this site. I do recall now that I upgraded the firmware on the firewall so maybe that has something to do with it.

It could be just here at work; however, I would not have thought anything about it if all the other sites I regularly visit were also slower than usual ... but none of them are, just this one.

We've pulled the Leesur-lite fully loaded (appx 400 lbs), 2-up with the RSV, the Wing, and the Vic. Handling wise RSV --- not good at lower speeds Wing --- a breeze Vic --- not as good as the Wing but much better than the RSV Power RSV --- fair Wing --- awesome Vic --- about the same the RSV We sold the Leesur-lite .... giving up tenting altogether. Small cargo trailer is all we'll need.

Guys, appreciate the suggestions, etc but that's not what I need to know after all, it's my business to know these things. Just needed to know if I was the only one or if others are experiencing this. I will dig deeper.

I'm noticing this at work and it happens on more than one computer. One system is Win7, the other is WinXP. We work in a network that is protected behind a firewall and 2 different Enterprise-class virus / adware / etc scanning software. One catches things before they enter and the other catches them IF they enter. As for home, I can't recall as I don't spend much time on the puter at home anymore. I will test it this evening. Nothing has changed in the environment here at work.

210 lbs is for the Cargo trailer only ... Camper is 290 and that is heavier than the Leesur-Lite which has a base axle weight of 255 lbs.

It seems of late that this site has really slowed down. Opening a thread, replying, submitting ... all seems to take much longer than it used to as of a few months ago (guessing here). I'm also a member on a Victory forum .... that forum is slow compared to what this forum WAS. Now, it seems the opposite. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm gonna save that one!
