I have a 2007 venture. I have a 150 on the front, and a 180 on the back (because) I pull a trailer. I want more rubber on the ground, on the back tire, you will NOT get a full lean with a tire that wide. Hope this helps

some of the road trips, have 8 to 11 gas ups a day (2 up pulling a trailer) when we want to spend more time on lacation. but once we are there. we walk around alot. everyonce in a while we'll jump on the bike, for a little tour around the area. 2010 we are riding up to lake george, for the Americade. 1700 miles each way we plan to leave on may 27th, and take 4 days to get up there. hang around for 5 days, then head home. Then in July 2010 were are doing little sturgis, In KY. not that long of a ride, something to the effect of 1200 miles one way. two easy, 600 mile days, hang for 4 days, then head home, down the coast line. Heres is the bottom line. I find, the heavyer I got, the harder it is for me to ride long distances. so I'm joining a GYM, to get my self back into better shape, maybe hit a pool for laps, to loosen up this old bones. kind of makes if hard to enjoy a trip, when your sore and tired.

Brake Pad replied to Cinderella's topic in Watering Hole
I'm in the process, of send a friend a spread sheet on making my own light bars for my Venture. I used to work in a metal shop in NJ. when I work out the material costs and labor costs. hopfully I'll have new home made light bars for the bike, also for the trunk. complete rap arounds, all with RED LEDs lights., and they do the chroming there too. -

1861.1 This has not been verified so has anyone else heard anything about it? Heads up....here's something that may involve you or someone you know...if you want to comment or follow this here's the link....http://pnwriders.com/general-discussion/108902-defective-tires-possible-recall.html Defective Tires -- Possible Recall Harley Davidson, Honda and Goodyear Dunlop should investigate a number of motorcycle crashes involving sudden deflation of Goodyear Dunlop D402 and other tires, attorney Billy Edwards said today. The tires, installed as original equipment or sold as replacement tires on touring and cruiser motorcycles, may need to be recalled, he added. Five more instances of sudden deflation of the Dunlop D402 tire have been reported to the safety website, www.UnsafeMotorCycles.com, he noted. All four incidents involved Harley Davidson Ultra Classic touring motorcycles and occurred in the last 13 months, he said. The latest incident occurred in , he said. Others have been reported in , and , he said. “We believe this is the tip of the iceberg. The defect in these tires appears to be worsening as the tires age, leading to more instances of sudden deflation and serious injury,” Edwards said. These reports join at least two lawsuits filed recently involving allegations of Goodyear Dunlop tire deflations, one in , , the other in According to the allegations described in a lawsuit in the crash, a defect in the bead seat area of the tire allowed excessive leakage of air leading to a “sudden and catastrophic deflation” of the tire. Stephen Gageby, , was killed, and his wife was seriously injured in the resulting crash, the suit says. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court, Middle District of Georgia, Athens Division,(Case no. 3:09-cv-74 ), and involved the death of a passenger Patricia Morris. Among other things, the suit alleges Harley Davidson knew it was “false and misleading” to represent that its 2007 FLHTCU and its tires were safe for carrying up to two riders weighing more than 250 pounds each, plus their cargo and motorcycle accessories. The suit (Cause No. DV-08- 480) was filed Nov. 10, 2008, in the Second Judicial District Court, . Attorneys representing the Gageby estate are Michael McKeon, with the law firm of McKeon and , PC, , , and Billy Edwards, with the Edwards Law Firm, .
