I didnt know the man personally, but I really hate to hear anyone loose their battle with cancer..

Have no idea where if you can shut it off with a switch or not, if all else fails, you could just cut the wire going into the beeper and install a toggle switch to that wire.. now you can flip it on & off as you want..

So good to see you and Mary out riding and enjoying life, but it just isn't fair.. I sure wish I could join you, but I have other irons in the poker right now. Hope you two have a wonderful ride and a very safe journey all the way back to home.

Quote from a wise man (saddlebum), posted above: maybe we should prove it by not painting certain brand rider's with the same brush. Yeh I know I am guilty too but having a member quit because of it has given me cause to think. As riders we should bond together and maybe apply our efforts to issues that affect all riders. I'm in.......

[quote=friesman1;399084 I think we gotta stop this everyone against Harley attitude, in my view we are as bad as the Harley guys in a lot of ways. One of the guys in here that I consider a friend has ended his membership here in VR yesterday because of the incessant anti Harley crap. As much as the Harley guys bug us sometimes, I think we have to start checking out attitudes a bit. We like to say that we welcome all brands in here, but do we really practise what we preach? I think not. I can see where it would wear thin real quick and I think if you had a new ride, hanging out in here with everyone slagging your pride and joy all the time. :bang head: OK I am now getting off my soapbox, sorry to vent but i needed to get it off my chest. Brian Brian, I hear what your saying my friend and you are right... to a point. In my case as you might know as most everyone else knows, I now ride a GW. I am teased at every M&E, and rally we have, and I a;so read posts where some "jokingly" talk about the GW riders as well as Harley riders. Some GW riders do have additudes such as being above or better then everyone else as BMW riders have thier ways, and Harley riders have thier ways.. heck we all have our ways and ideas and our special rides that we like. I truley dont care what a man or woman rides.. I dont think anyone here really cares what anyone else rides, but we all come face to face with that one butt hole once in a while and feel like getting it off our chest. I am certain that when someone says, I met this jerk riding a GW and he ...blah, blah, blah..,,,that doesnt mean he is talking about every GW rider or any VR member on this site.. it is a phrase used in common talk between riders. I have met and ride with some very wonderful people who own Harleys and many other makes, but if I make a comment about a Harley rider it is because I saw or met some Harley jerk on one. That dont mean all Harley riders are jerks. I am really sorry your friend took it to heart and left the VR site, but we all joke here at one another and it should never be taken to heart..not all Harley riders fall into the same category as well as all Venture riders are not in the same category... I personally will refrain from mentioning anything about Harley riders or any other type bike rider to help support your concern / posting my friend.

My wife and I are looking at them also. We have been looking at the class a diesel pushers, and like you two we have been reading and looking at everything we can find. In my opinion, RV's are like anything else. Motorcycles, cars, trucks, boats, homes, apartments, etc..all depends what the buyer really wants & likes. There are SO many types and styles to choose from.. My wife and I just got back from Charleston, SC where we were looking at some and we also stopped in at a local camp ground to see how they look after being all hooked up.. Gained a little knowledge by doing that I must say..stop at a camp site and look around so you know what you will be getting into..like 30 amp or 50 amp costs for hook up, sewage, water electric hook ups and what the rigs look like all set up..accessories like out door carpet if the camp ground is not paved.... you'll get the picture.. I probably didn't help, but hey... Good luck.....

Gene, I must say you did a beautiful job on your trailer. It sure takes a lot of planning and much much elbow grease to have something turn out to look as nice as that trailer.. You done good!!.

Freebird, I dont know what to say.. Im really sorry, but it appears some of the moderators are ...uh ...well...you know.. but you also know where their hearts are..(here @ VR.Org..).. Squidley, One has already said it.. and I truly agree.. It couldn't have been given to a better man.!

Well, I really dont remember, (since I hit my head during my accident..), Not sure which one Dragonrider has...(chrome or black).. I had the stock black one, then I put two chrome ones on, (over a period of time), and I think Dragonrider has the 2nd chrome one I had installed.. Hey Dragonrider...which one do you have? It appears Freezyrider wants a black stock one.. If Dragonrider answers a Chrome one, just send me your mailing address via email and I will send you the black one I have..

Well, I could be wrong, but I would say NO, not necessarily Silvrt... It could be that the (4) acorn nuts were tightened to snug..to fast..not permitting it to align itself up.. Some people get carried away trying to "hurry up" so they can get back to riding and snug the heck out of them right off the bat..this is a SLOW process ..... I would ALWAYS re-loosen and re-snug them up again *two or three times), to make darn sure that I snugged them up slow enough and in a proper "rotating" manor. Then if that doesn't do the trick, then I would have to check to see if I happen to have a possible bent or damaged rear axle. Make note to verify that you have loosened the axle pinch bolt enough to really know that it is not causing the drag on the axle. If all this still does not let the axle turn freely, then your suggested fix would be my last resort... but ONLY IF my bike was out of warranty..
