You betcha Woody, you are welcome.. All the best in finding a replacement brother!!

Neither of either.. You created a double positive (being a contributor to a "slew" OR contributing to a "Bunch" are both positive experiences but the "Slew" is usually more entertaining) which is a no no according to The Code (whose rules and definitions will never be found in a meager English Dictionary = QUICK - LOOSE THAT THING - IT'S CONTENT IS CAUSING YOU GREAT HARM!!). Using the extra positive actually drags down the true meaning of "Slew" which creates negative waves for those involved in living the Slew life style.. Negative Waves are something you, as a fellow Slew hanger outer, want to avoid at all costs.. Here Patch,, Watch this short video involving a slew of lop eared varmints and check out just how far out of hand negative ways can easily become:

Hey Red,, if you send them to me I will post em for you = WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR NEW SCOOT as I am sure others would too!! I can do either text pic to our phone or email em to me.. If that sounds like something you wanna do - shoot me a PM with your phone number or email addy and I will get ahold of you at your choice..

Heyyyy,, Master or not brother,, I take GREAT personal offense to what's written in red above Patch!!! Maybe you didnt know this (like my deceased Father drilled into my pea-brain though - ignorance is no excuse for hurting someones feelings ) but lop eared varmints do NOT travel and/or hang out in a "BUNCH" no matter how crazy or geriatrical they get = they hang out/run together in "Slews" not "BUNCHES".. Sorry,, had to get that off my chest,, now I feel better :witch_brew::stirthepot::stickpoke:

If you can catch em staring at the house - take that zeroed in scoped 22/250 that is sitting in the corner, rest it on the arm rail of your deck,, lean into it, take a deep breath and while exhaling slowly draw little circles around a coyote eyeball, as the circle gets smaller move the circle toward the middle of the head mass and squeeze the trigger slowly, lightly and refuse to anticipate the shot. It'll flip em over backwards and irradication will be instantantious. If Wily is walking across the field with their nose to the ground looking for a - same shooter, same method only draw your bead right above a front shoulder. My favorite = running full tilt directly away = same shooter, base of the tail,, the 22/250 is much faster,, when it catches up to em a tumble will occur as the 22/250 round works its way front to back. **** One I have yet to do but have ALWAYS wanted to do = NIGHT HUNT EM!! Night vision scopes are legal here in Michigan and totally legal to hunt with AT NIGHT = IN THE DARK = WHAT A BLAST!! Sit in a tree stand to get your scent above the ground = call the critters in with a dieing rabbit call so THEY are hunting YOU!! Night vision scope with an infra-red to light up the eyes then back to drawing circles between the lookers.. I WOULD have loved to have experienced this hunt back when I was younger and had my 700 BDL Remington 22/250 but there was NO WAY I could have afforded both the shooter and scope back then.. SLYvester,, you are one blessed lop eared varmint to have such an AWESOME opportunity to control the Coyote population in your area = get er done Sly,, get er done!! P.S. = if we were closer I would loan you my AR15,, that sweetheart would be an EXCELLENT shooter for the same!! P.S. - P.S. = IMHO, that Winchester Magnum 22 would also be a good one BUT I am not so sure about the range and kill power at that distance.. I am not much for wounding animals.. Is it doable? Yea but them aint soft hided, tiny boned Prairie Dogs your controlling the population of. Not only that, but if you misjudge the kill shot range and/or wanna nail em out to 150 - 200 yards = 22/250 = NO PROBLEMBO... THANKS FOR ASKING OUR OPINION ABOUT THIS BROTHER = YA GOT MY TRIGGER FINGER ITCHIN:thumbsup2: P.S. = 's of the hunt would be AWESOME!! Video's of the same would be,, would be a TRUE TREASURED TREAT!!

I like it,, it's got that Darth Vader look to it

WOWZY WOW WOW WOW AG = BINGO = give that man a ceegar!!! I racked my brain over that one AG and just could not pull it,, YOU nailed it brother and YOU ARE DA MAN!!

Sometimes I think being an educated Grand Master of the Grasshopper can actual work against the Master when trying to discern exactly what is being communicated Patch, I would suggest you read the original explanation before attempt to follow the detailed explanation below. Because Carl politely asked for my interpretive assistance here I will oblige this one time: What the problem was is that Midi's bike had sat long enough that a mouse got by an overly fed cat and made it's home in the airbox of Midi's bike. The cat, who showed up way late to the party, was deeply apologetic for being responsible for the whole episode and the sincerity of his sorrow was clearly stated by his very own tears. Removal of the mouse house from the air box allowed fresh air to enter the fuel flooded combustion chamber of the precious 1st Gen restoring it to its honorable spot of King of all touring bikes for all of time. I know I read between the lines a lot,, and my explanation has it's loose ends and all that but even if Carl or the Cat who owns the bike come on here to try and bring what really happened to the fore front,, I am sticking by my interpretation and suggest you consider it as gospel.. This will save you a lot of worry.. By the way,, I am really impressed that Carl found the mouse nest without having to do a compression test,,, that Carl,, he is a witty lop eared varmint

I load em to YouTube and then copy/paste the URL into the body of the post here on the site.. If you do that the Video will pop up in the post and not appear as a link.. Kind of like this:

Back when I was a young Puc I delivered the Sunday Chronicle for a living.. It was actually a fairly lucrative business enterprise and I long surmised the reason for this being was largely due to the Funny Paper cartoon section of that Sunday paper.. At that time in the mid 60's, the Sunday Paper was 25 cents and daily was a dime. Bottom line, for $1 a month a person got his/her weekly dose of laughter needs fulfilled. Today, that same Funny Paper is $2 a week (last time I checked = WOWZY WOW WOW WOW, those young modern newsies much be really scoring big these days ) or, $8 bucks a month for a modern day Sunday funny hunter.. Personally,, I LOVE this new style of comics with real people making for laughter instead of stick people like Snuffy Smith, Bumstead or,, oopss,, my mind went blank,, who was that Army charactor?,, always in trouble with the Sargent,, cant recall,, lop eared geezer memory varmints causing the reader to fall to pieces in laughter. Anyway,, my point is,,,, for a price equal to the cost of a weekly dose of laughter in the 60's = I think Mr. Nelson's VentureRider.org with real life cartoon characters is the best deal going so I wouldn't take my $1 a month back even if the lop eared Bossman varmint who runs this cyber space program begged me too:hurts:!! :dancefool:

Looks like the reward for capture is a couple of pretty nice cups for drinking out of... Seems like the reward value's have gone down thru the years,, not exactly sure how a good, honest, lop eared Bounty Hunter varmint like yourself is suppose to make a living catching the undesireables nowadays Bum...

Indeed,, they are nice bikes,, IMHO, Polaris did a really nice job on the 106 Snype.. IMHO, Just steer clear of the first couple years of the line brother (the early 92 inch) as the trannies in those scoots were defective. I had a close friend who had a multi-line dealership back then and he had a couple of early buyers of the Vics come back with tranny troubles wanting warranty work. Polaris refused to honor the warranty and my buddy finally ended up kicking Polaris to the curb (entirely, he also had their sleds/quads and PWC's) because of their inactions. Polaris finally out sourced a complete redesign of the tranny,, I believe it was the third of fourth year of production when that happened, and that engineering proved reliable but they never did honor those early warranties and chose instead to leave a bunch of unhappy varmints stuck in the weeds and early bikes with no alternatives or updates on faulty transmissions..

This may help Tuffy.. I know @Chaharly was going thru some ruff waters with posting pics a while back and I am almost sure it worked with him. If not, maybe he will chime in here and explained what did work cause I know he finally did get his pics onboard.

Well,, I've been scouring the upstairs in my garage and unfortunately my cords were not where I thought they were,,,,, must have given em away to another lop eared CTFW varmint along lifes trail.. I did find my old headsets though and can verify that what DJ is talking about is spot on. Those old units were indeed 5 pin so at least know we know now what wont work. My apologies @Woody, I honestly thought we were onto something.. Oh well,, we tried

OUTSTANDING MIDI,,, now get out there and CTFW for endless enjoyable hours so you and your scoot and regroup on your bonding !!! @Marcarl,, THANK YOU for being there brother = YOU DA MAN!!! That compliment is gonna cost ya though ya lop eared Kanuckian magic fingered varmint = curious minds are awaiting for you to tell us what you found = come on,, give it up,, spill the beans

Looks great @Woody,, perfect shots! I will dig around here and see what I can come up with.. Been a LONGGGG time since I seen the cords for ours (they came with our 1st 1st Gen back in 87 that was the only Royale I have owned), I am almost positive I know where they are, will dig em out and see what I got.. You need just one or is the passenger cord that you have in just as bad as shape?

Riding partner for life right there I tell ya,,, riding partner for life!!!! GOOD ON YA BOTH DANIEL!!

That's odd,,, I was just over in the picture file thread ( https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?141453-Pictures-from-Freebird-s-Maintenance-Day ) looking at the Traveling Mugs who got their pics taken at your MD Bossman and not a single one of them looked anything like the Mug shots you posted here

Awe,, true friendship knows no geographical boundries and goes both ways.. What a great thing being part of this family truly is.. Hiding my face was not on me,, that pic was taken by @videoarizona, who could just as easily been in the picture, that I have a hunch was probably just protecting his camera,,, or,,, VAz had heard that neither of us won the hugging contest and he felt sorry for the 2nd Place winner

Its the laws of physics coupled with The Code,,,, lop eared varmints begets little lop eared varmints

We is gettin along,, needling each others how we prove it :stickpoke: Our true love and appreciation for each other really shines when all get together IRL though brother: Two brothers connected by life, liberty, love of motorcycling and The Lord :

ah ah ah,,, not so fast Mr. Water Hole poisoner,,, your memory has slipped again,,, Fool has long since been working on and successfully created a +50 degree melt White Wash in an effort to not be so dependent on you Kanuckian varmints to supply the cold air... That Fool,, he is a true blue (ice in the veins does that you know) lop eared but a creative one to say the least!!

Before I started wrenching on a brand new bike that I spent 25 large on and it with 5 years of warranty on it, I would play the social media card with the selling dealership and Yamaha District Rep (dont trust the dealership saying they spoke with him, get ahold of him directly). I would calmly explain the bike is brand new with less than 1k miles on it, the oil leak has been happening since day one, it's one of a kind in it's leaking issue, the dealerships can't fix it and you want answers in the form of either a fixed bike or a new one.. I would include with that, posting your story up on other sites (such as Face Book or the Star Rider sites) where Mom Yam may be reading/watching. I know at one time Mom Yam kept track of us here on VR but am not convinced that she still is. I would look around and see if I could find out where Long Haul Paul is hanging out these days,, maybe even YouTube,, and that is where I would post my dissatifaction with the situation. I know Paul has been riding for Yamaha now for a while (he was with the factory group out at Sturgis when Yamaha did their debut of the 3rd Gen and is now riding/promoting the 3rd Gen on a factory provided bike ) and you can be assured that if you find a FB site or youtube channel involving him promoting the bike - Mom Yam will be watching closely and will feel the social media pressure to take care of your scoot = IMHO of course... Thats what I'd do

:sign Rock On: my brother !! We are on the same page here!! BTW,, THANK YOU for your service in maintaining our way of life, liberty and FREEDOM:usa:! Without folks like you, our way of life would not exist = THANK YOU my friend!! Tennessee ,, may I make a suggestion? Jump up to the Awards section of the site and request your honor badge that you have earned.. YOU deserve it brother!! Also PLEASE accept my "friend" request that I am about to send you - be an honor on my part if you would!! Oh, by the way,, "I'm not Dan" is not me,, I am Scott,, Dan was a dear friend/fellow member here who lost his life in a bike accident.. Puc
