The 2010 harleys are supposed to be on the web site saturday at noon. The annual dealer show is saturday. Will be interesting to see what they have for 2010. Will also be interesting to see what yamaha has for 2010 in september.

Hey BuddyRick, Can you post the pictures. These pictures were taken today at the launch of the shuttle. A friend of mine's niece works for NASA and took the pictures today. Thanks,

I went to user cp and then scrolled down to pictures and albums and loaded some pictures. How do I get these pictures to show up under a thread I post? Thanks

Hey Keithert, It was like wrestling with a 800lb gorilla. I rode the dragon several years ago on a 1100 vstar. I don't like riding the dragon. There was one time I got the crapp scared out of me. There are a few curves that are really bad. I was leaning but kept going toward the yellow line. I was almost on the line and my floorboard scraped the pavement. When your floorboard scrapes it hard to make yourself lean more but a trike was coming from the opposite direction so I had to lean a little more. Don't care to do that again.

I rode the tail of the dragon saturday and last night I was looking for my picture from the ones taken by killboy.com and I saw a white venture two up and a burgandy venture one up and two or three tours deluxe. Were these anyone here?
-
One thing I forgot to mention was that the dealer said if he was in charge he would discontinue the current venture and develop a new one built around the stratoliner. Might not be a bad idea.

The dealer was talking about the new vmax with the 1800cc engine, not the old vmax. It has been around for awhile. The 950 or is it 900 vstar is yamaha's best seller. I think it was ranked number 8 for sales for all bikes.

I am at the dealer in Tallahassee, Fl for my 44,000 service and new tires. Just got through talking to the dealer about the venture. This dealer doesn't think there will be a venture in 2010. He thinks it's over for the venture all together. He says the sales aren't good on the venture and yamaha isn't spending any money on anything. There isn't going to be a dealer meeting this year. A yamaha rep is going to visit each dealer and go over the 2010 lineup. This dealer said yamaha makes a good product but the people at the headquarters in Japan don't listen and don't care what dealers have to say. He said he felt sorry for the guy over the USA operation because he wants to see changes but they won't even listen to him in Japan. This dealer said he had been to many dealer meeting over the years and that the USA executives will talk with you and listen but when the execs from Japan come in they won't even speak to the dealers. They get before the group and give a talk and leave. He also said he thinks the only thing that could get yamaha of Japan to keep a touring bike would be the kawasaki voyager. If it sales then maybe yamaha will re consider. He pointed out that on the new vmax yamaha wanted a $1,000 deposit before they would order one. He said very few people will pay a deposit without even seeing a bike. Japan told the dealers if they got 2,500 orders they would bring the new vmax to the us. There were only 1,900 orders so the head of yamaha usa sent a message to all yamaha employees to please order a vmax if they were interested or there wouldn't be one. He said they wound up with 2,100 orders so Japan introduced the v-max even though there weren't 2,500 order. Now for the disclaimer. Who knows. We hear all kind of rumors and they are worth what they cost. Nothing. But I thought I would pass this along. Maybe we need a section for useless yamaha rumors.

Where is the concerte going to be?

Hey Lewis, You won't believe it but I still have the same tire on my bike. Hasn't lost any air. I have a set of avons ordered but they have been slow getting here. All of the dealers around here have dunlops in stock but none of the dealers have avons in stock. Today is only the second time I have ridden my bike since I got back from MD. It has been too hot or raining.
-
Yeah V-Goose, I was lucky that day but my luck ran out on the way home. I don't know if you remember, but I had a 3 1/4" bolt go through my back tire.
-
Thanks for the heads up Ponch. I need to thank V-Goose for the help also.
-
Thank you all for the helpful information. I am going to use the glue to try to repair two of the tabs on the fairing where the screws go in to hold the windshield on. One tab is cracked and the other is completely broken off. Ponch told me about the glue at MD and helped me glue a tab on the windshield trim. Thanks Ponch.
-
Hey ya'll, Thanks for the replies.
-
I don't want the glue for pvc pipe. When I was at MD Ponch had a can of ABS glue that he used to glue a piece that broke off of my windshield trim. Ponch said to make sure you get ABS and not PVC glue. The glue he had was clear.
-
Where is a good place to find abs glue? I looked all over town and finally found some at SLOWES. When I got home I noticed the can said black. I don't want black I want clear. Thanks
