http://www.classifiedads.com/items_for_sale-ad8184569.htm Is it just me, or does this seem a bit excessive? At first glance I think, COOL! But then I factor in the added weight and rolling resistance of the second axle. The add doesn't state how much weight it will carry, but I imagine if ya need to haul enough to need the second axle, wouldn't you be pushing the limits if the bikes capabilities? Perhaps if you had one of those Boss Hogs with the 350 V8's or a good sized trike, I could see it. I do like the looks of it, and the "cool" factor though. Certainly one of a kind... maybe. Bill

Last night I had the VR idling (fast- 2000) for about 20 minutes while I fiddled with the headlight alignment and it boiled over. It has idled for longer than that in the past without boiling. The outside temp was about 66F so was probably not a factor. Could not hear the fan going so that is likely the cause of the problem. Did not find anything in the Tech Library and the search will not accept fan as a keyword so anything in particular I should know about troubleshooting this issue?

We've discussed it here before and it seems to be fairly evenly split between those who like American Idol and those who don't. I've been a huge fan for several years but for some reason, am having a really hard time getting interested in it this year. Well next season it appears that they will bring X Factor to the USA. It is similar to American Idol but with some significant differences. One thing that I like is the fact that they allow older people to enter. I'm really looking forward to it. Here is an audition from the UK show and I think that this guy is really good and wow...what a heart breaking story.

Anyone who rides a 50 mile round trip in moderately strong wind with a chill factor of less than 20 degrees ought to have their head examined.

Hello all, New to the group, so let me introduce myself. From Massachusetts, been riding for 20 + years and except for one minor detour, been riding Yamahas the whole time. At present I own a 2000 Roadstar (which has been great) but I'm looking to get back into the full dresser thing again. All the guys I ride with have HD Electra Glides, so I'm their token Japanese bike guy. Personally I've never really bought into the whole HD bike thing, as far as I'm concerned, if you're on two wheels, you're ok with me. But anyways, back to the subject at hand. I'm looking at a couple of different options, first being the RSV. I'm very happy that they've come back out with the Black Cherry again this year, love that color. The one thing I do like about my current bike is the sound, not that it's a crucial factor in my decision, I do like the rumble I get (V&H straightshots will do that for you). I'm not really concerned on the comfort factor, I think once you make the move to this type of motorcycle (regardless of make), that's built into it. Obviously there might be some little differences but for the most part all these bikes are made for riding long distances. I've also looked at the HD, like the fact that they have a bigger engine and gas tank now and a 6 speed tranny. On my friends bikes (01 & 02) it seems like I was sitting with my face in the windshield, the new '08 isn't like that, they've changed the seating a bit. The other bike I've been looking at is the Victory Vision. I'm very impressed with this bike. It is a little different looking (to say the least), but it has a much loweer center of gravity that anything else I've looked at and it really handles fantastic at slow speeds. Just wondering if any of you folks have seen these bikes and what you think. I've spoken with Victory owners and they all love their bikes. As always price is a consideration and I think you get the most bang for your buck with the Yamaha. But I also don't mind spending a few extra dollars if if I'm getting something of value in return. So if anyone has any opinions, please feel free to express them, I am looking for feedback. Thanks for your time and sorry for rambling on. Stay safe!
