  1. When I was 11, my dad got me a single shot 20 gauge. That thing used to pound the heck out of me when I shot it.
  2. I've been hankering to get a coach gun. http://www.stoegerindustries.com/firearms/stoeger_coach_guns.php
  3. Ah, well that puts a twist on things!
  4. Carl, I don't know if this is the cheapest but I've heard good things about Buydig.com Garmin Zumo 450 - $482.00 http://www.buydig.com/shop/product.aspx?sku=GRZUMO450
  5. Well, one problem solved. I forgot to look at the laptop and sure enough it has a SD slot in it!
  6. If any of you folks are thinking about getting an XM radio. I just put one up for sale in the classifieds. It's a nice unit so take a look. Bob http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1314/cat/12
  7. Actually a couple of questions. My computer does not have a SD card slot. Can I put the card in my Zumo and download music with the USB cable? Does anyone know of a free site to convert WMA music files to MP3. I read that the Zumo only plays MP3.
  8. Nice! So you basically made a Venture that can be converted easily. That's kinda cool. It like having two bikes in one.
  9. Seems like I remember reading a thread about passing light spacers. Can't seem to find it in search. I want to get one, so can any one of you point me in the right direction?
  10. Well, I'm back. Passed with flying colors. Well, except for that dang double u-turn box. I never can seem to get the last U-turn right. I'll be practicing the ride like a pro drills before I go into the advanced class. Four of the class members did not pass so it's not as easy as you might think. Glad I took this class. Getting educated on proper riding techniques is money well spent.
  11. I'm taking the beginning motorcycle safety course put on by ABATE of Indiana. I must say that it's a fantastic program. Yea, I know most of this stuff but it's a great reinforcement for your rider skills. BTW, it's a full, three day course. The weird part is you have to do the skills testing on a Suzuki 125. After a day of this the Venture feels like the Titantic! I think I'll enroll for the advanced course next.
  12. Glad your ok Steve. How long did the docs say before your back walking around?
  13. The helmet should be no problem as a carry on. I like to wear slip on shoes when I fly because they are easier to get on and off when you go through security. Try to not carry a ton of stuff in your pockets so getting through security will go faster. Congratulations on your bike purchase!
  14. Yea, it looks like they are bonding....http://www.bikeforums.net/images/smilies/1luvu.gif

    Bummer

    I don't know why some Ventures sit lower or higher than others. I sat on Stratcat's bike and it felt lower than mine. We have the exact same bikes and same year.
  16. I'd be the guy dumping it and causing the rest of the bikes to fall like domino's!
  17. I got a message that the link is an attack site. Not sure what that means.....
  18. I'm going to have my German buddy to translate this. I'm thinking the motor is 410 cubic inches! http://estb.msn.com/i/66/1290F923A63CCDBD1DD47A404144.jpg http://estb.msn.com/i/6A/14D0CDB2974C29194D9C8F1C99D.jpg http://auto.de.msn.com/news/artikel.aspx?cp-documentid=8914324
  19. Well I'm in need of a travel mug for my morning coffee fix. Went on a search on the internet and didn't really see much. Here are the two I ordered for comparison. OXO - usually has good stuff. Doesn't have a handle so I figure the wife can use it. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-LiquiSeal-Travel/dp/B0011SBHV6/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_4]Amazon.com: OXO Good Grips LiquiSeal Travel Mug - Stainless Steel: Kitchen & Dining[/ame] Nissan - Looks pretty good but I'll need to try it out before I'm sold. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Leak-Proof-Travel-Mug/dp/B000FDP13I/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1]Amazon.com: Thermos Nissan 14-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Smoke Color: Health & Personal Care[/ame] As you can see, I want stainless steel and leak proof. Any other ideas?
  20. Mine too! I took the sticker off so now I can carry more weight.
  21. I know I said Colorado would be awesome (and I still think that). Utah would be a great place to go as well. No kidding, it's great scenic country.
  22. My vote is for Colorado as well. Seems like we can get both sides of the good ol USA to ride there.
  23. I just spit my coke all over the screen! That's the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.
  24. I like it! Yellow and black go well together..
  25. I had to use wood blocks to jack mine up. I think I'll get one of Carbon One's adapters. Makes the whole procedure much easier I think.
