Rick is the man. Had my modification done a short time ago and he was nice enough to toss in the thumb screws. This weekend heading up to Tennessee, I am looking forward to a great, relaxing seat all the way to and from...

Mr. Barrycuda...you are in for a treat, just as kantornado says.
HOWEVER, if you are not ADVENTUROUS...there will be steak / chicken / shrimp on the buffet at the restaurant or you can order from the menu. They have ribs too...not sure if they are FROG ribs or what...LOL!!!
and if you don't want to try our delicious CRAPpie...I will have pork bar b q available. I promise you won't starve!!! And if all else fails...there is always Dairy Queen.
NOW what you got to say???? Hungry yet? Geez, I am!!! You better hurrry on over before them frogs and crappie are all gone...
Patti, I do not wish to offend or seem to arrogant. That's not it at all, just poking some fun...as for the frog legs, YES I am gonna try them, no doubt. What's the sense of riding 850 miles to have the same thing I can have here. The "CRAP"pie was just something I couldn't resist not writing. I will be a great guest and be just fine with whatever is there. Hey, I lived in NYC my whole life. Ya think that is chicken when I order from the take out menu? And ya never know, I may ride down with a twang and a recipe for frog legs....
See ya real soon..

+1 on the cd changer taking up half the saddlebag. Music has been my life forever and I Also have the MP3 player. There is something to be said about just popping in your own discs and riding. Now if only yamaha can see see the light on installing a CD player where the ANTIQUE cassette player is........

It never really crossed my mind to check before, so today I checked and tightened things front to back. Nothing was over the top loose but it now is in my head to be on the lookout...BOLO

Just a note here:
If you like to eat frog legs, they will be featured at the restaurant that we ride to on Friday nite!!!!
Hey Bongobobny!!!!! Are you listening???? FROG LEGS!!!! ALL YOU CAN EAT!!!! FRIDAY NIGHT!!! BRING YOUR APPETITE!
Alright Patti, what did I get myself into? FROGS LEGS? CRAPPIE? This city slicker has not had either one of those. Should I just bring a sandwich from Subway?? Something about the first four letters in crappie that has me wondering...

One has to wonder...do they make Frog Leg flavored Ice Cream ?????
That's a hilarious statement....

Creole, this is NOT meant to pick on you, but as a remonder to all riders...the very nano second that the bike "thinks" it wants to be moving forward...PICK UP YOUR FEET...and place them all the way onto the footpegs or floorboards.
I have viewed other riders doing this for 1000 year now (yeah, I feel that old), and it bugs me when I see a rider that drags his feet, uses his feet as outriggers...or slowly moves his feet from the ground to the footpegs/floorboards, as if he/she needed to keep the feet out there in case the bike would fall over, or until they get up to enough speed that they can finally pull those outriggers in.
If any of you old-timers have ever done..slow races...the slow balancing contests to see who can take the longest to get from point A to point B, the you know you can go SLOW, while having your feet up on the footpegs.
Every stop light or stop sign I pull up to I continue to practice the slow balancing of the bike.
And...when I know that it is time to pull in the clutch, engage 1st gear, and release the clutch...my feet are OFF the ground and all the way onto my footpegs in a nano-second. I do not allow my feet to dangle, dawdle, or meandor around by the ground area while I am moving forward, even at .314159 mph.
I haven't ( yet) dropped my RSV, however the PO did drop it, so perhaps that's out of the bikes system. I also practice at stop lights etc, to balance the bike, and use Miles style to lift feet off immediately. It was reinforced 30x with the ride like a pro class. I speak for myself when I say I am always drop preventive mode X 50, but sooner or later, it'll happen....

Thanks for the info guys. When I looked on the Georgia DOT, it shows road closed just about 5 miles from I 59 off SR136. That's a bummer because it looks like a fantastic ride. Ugh... Always something... Anyway, thanks for keeping me posted. I will ride that someday soon.

+1 on no issues in 5th once engaged. Haven't figured out mileage yet, however I do notice the fuel gauge isn't exactly always on the up and up. A little nerve wracking if you ask me...

I am wanting to get the 100 LED Genesis II LED Tail Light from Custom Dynamics, but have a question.
Do I need a load equalizer for just the break light? Will they fit the 2013 model Royal Star Venture S. I only ask the later as Amazon has them on sale but say they are for 1999 to 2009 models.
Thanks.
I have the 100 LED brake light from custom dynamics and I simply plugged and viola...nothing else needed. Took 1 minute and that's because I was extra slow that day...

If you you tube: motorcycle police rodeo, you'll see some crazy videos. One guy basically keeping the bike straight up, another down in Leesburg, florIda was doing crazy things, with the roads wet from the rain. I saw one video a while back where I think it was a cop from Connecticut, that was making these stupid 90 degree turns from almost a dead stop. That was by far the sickest. Of course all these guys are fantastic...

I just rode about 50 miles of 136 Wednesday. I rode it from 411 over to 19. The part I rode was good two lane Mt. roads, with moderate to some sharp curves. The traffic was very light.

Thank you for your info, as I want to avoid Atlanta as much as possible, but not take forever to get to my destination ...

Hello gang:
I am traveling next week to Tennessee through Georgia by way of Florida. The normal "easy " route has me up 75 through to I 24. However, I see where I can branch off through SR 136 which seems to take me to some interesting terrain. Since this is my first ride through and I will be with my RSV, wondering if anyone can reply in regards to the terrain, travel experience, lanes, speed, any issues etc. SR 136 seems to go a ways through and I want to come out on the other side to I 59. I would appreciate any advice, cautions, tips and words of wisdom from anyone who has dealt with this SR136. Thank you

For ONCE, I am NOT TOO LATE !!! I have missed out on so many things. Pipes, bars, etc etc... Amish, we need to get together at some point...

Being directly involved in that tragedy, I feel the process has taken WAAAAAAY too long. Here was a gaping hole forever and it just kept as a reminder. I am glad it has been finished

Hi:
I am interested in trying out the windshield, if there are no takers, especially the size, as mine is way too big. My contact info is in the forum and let me know the shipping and such. I appreciate your generosity.
Thank you
Barry

Like the ohter ones cat didnt eat it or anything right? That would be a whole nother deal. LOL
One way a guy helped his heat out on his voyager was he installed a bilge fan. He got the idea from the brake blowers used in NASCAR to cool brakes. They come in all sizes and cfm.
Surprised she didn't blame it on her brother!! No cats in this house. Dogs, fish, heck event hippo... Anything but a house cat. I'd rather have a leopard or a big game cat. House cats, are not for me

Let us know how that "potato cooker" is in the summer time in Texas. Most of the guys I have talked to here in Fl say they have alot of heat of them things. Congrats though, it was one of my finalists also.
Dion, that's exactly one of the major deterrents to why I haven't bought one. The heat on the right side is unbearable, even with the deflector. Southern state voyager owners have balked and even said it can be down right dangerous, because they have burned themselves. That said, I still" want" the voyager. Just not now.
I test rode one last year for about an hour. Handles great, looks great, but I was fully aware ofnthebheat blasting through my R leg.
Oh, and kawasaki has known for a few years and hasn't really addressed the issue properly, except adding what amounts to an exhaust port to take the heat away. Hasn't worked from the posts I see and some owners are wrapping their pipes. Not what I want to do after dropping premium cash..
PS: got your VM, my 6 year old's fish died last night and that was a whole situation... I'll call you tonight

You have a 2003 venture? So do I. Maybe we should ride together some day since we live really close to one another. Love to ride with another Florida venture owner...
