I had a great time too. Sorry for the tunnel incident. Y'all had no way of knowing what I was dealing with upfront with no headlight in the tunnels. Thanks for y'alls help and advice in finding and fixing the problem. Thank you ladies for the food, sustenance when we needed it most. Timing was perfect and well appreciated by all. It was great seeing everyone again and making new friends.

Skid, Was this posted from your smart phone? As a retired State Patrol I thought for sure you would understand the dangers of texting and distracted phone use. Just saying. Just kidding it was great seeing you this weekend, it would been better talking to you more if you would have put that phone down.

That's Sleeperhawk Mechanic's job

I'll be leaving about 6:00 AM, and should arrive between 10:00 AM and Noon. See ya'll there.

Yea I know, I've been known to play the left right left game. I guess there is something to be said about the random toss of a coin.

Hey PUC, I'm not sure of letting a bird with a brain the size of a peanut determine your fate is a good thing. Do you really think that is wise? I'll be heading Up toward the Blue Ridge Parkway tomorrow morning if your heading that way.

I final got to see my windshield etching artwork on the bike I did for SlowRoll. It came out pretty good

On my trip out west, I had a new Metzler 880 on the rear and made it to Sturgis then a wide sweep thru the west and back around to Tucumcary New Mexico before it was thread bear all the way around. There were no motorcycle tire dealers in Tucumcary and the local car tire guy said he could order one off the internet which UPS could deliver like next Thursday. Not wanting to spend a week in Tucumcary I final found a used Harley Davidson marked Dunlop Elite 3 that I bought off the local NAPA owner. I think I paid $5.00 for a used tire showing 1/2 thread life. I hated to put the HD on my Yamaha but I figured I had no other options and I doubted no one would really notice. To make a long story longer, That used $5.00 tire got me all the way back to Atlanta and another 10k miles on top of that. In fact it it still had thread showing when I finally swapped it out for another Non HD marked Dunlop E3.

Puc, While we are on this subject, Please see PM just sent. Well I tried to send a PM, Your in box is full and would not accept new incoming messages. Check your mailbox.

Don, Obviously I'm the offending party since this thread appeared shortly after I posted about a buddies bike that will be coming up for sell. I apologize to you Don and all the members of this forum for breaking the rules. I never had any intention to do anything to be disruptive or harmful to the forum in any way. I also appreciate the fact that on this occassion you moved the thread rather than just deleting it. Thank you for that. I'm sure that all of the rules have been decided by consensuses of reasonable opinions with your guidence and insight which, I know we all have confidence in. But, in my defense let me comment on why I posted this notice in the Watering Hole instead of the classifieds; I guess I wasn't sure exactly what the rule was or the reasons for it. Thank you for clarifying What the rule is and why it is a rule. Technically, I'm not selling anything. The bike does not belong to me and I'm not getting any compensation as a result of this sell. I was simply trying to give a heads up to my brother Venture Rider members of a deal that will be coming up on a good buy on a good bike, before posting it on Ebay and Craigslist. I thought I was doing a good thing. My mistake, It won't happen again by me. There is often chatter on the Watering Hole regarding "Wanting to buy" notices. I simply was trying to respond I know where this is one of what your looking for. He is not ready to post it for sale because he wanted to detail it before taking pictures of it to post before officially putting it on the market. Which will be in a week or two in the future. Like me, I felt that most members do not watch the classifieds regularly, and since the Watering Hole gets the majority of views "notice of up coming sell" would draw more interest on the Watering Hole rather than to being buried in the classifieds where it is less likely to be seen. When he is ready to sell we will list it on Ebay and Craigslist offering it to world. Is it permissible to post a link on this forum to those listing? Once again I apologize for breaking the rules.

See my post about 2007 Midnight Venture, 15K miles

Hey a pool would be nice as long as it's not green. Might even have a few bikinis around it.

All I ask for is no bed bugs, fresh sheets, AC works, Continental breakfast is nice but not mandatory, and there is a remote control for the TV (mandatory).

If Eck can't make it I'll split a room with you. You were a hoot at Free bird's was it the 2010 Maintenance day?

Or eaten too many $5.00 foot longs

It may not be worth the trouble, but I was just wondering.

Yea I'm thinking reverting back to a single air filter under the tank, Relocating misc fuse blocks and misc other components into the upper fairing and doing away with the cruise control components if they couldn't be relocated some where else since the cruise control never worked anyway. What else would it take to do away with the lower fairing look.
