I was so tired of people parking in Handi-cap spots, I joined the local C.O.P. program, went throught the 14 week Citizens Class/School, 40 hour ride along with Officers, Radio School, Parking Enforcement class & Radar School. I'm Florida State Certified PES(Parking Enforcment). In the 2-1/2 years with them, I've writen 1076 tickets, for both Fire Lane & Handi-capped spots. You have the right to question anyone, about parking in one of these spots, and I do!!!! everyone that has a placard, knows they have to show it to a person If they are asked. all the cards have the date of birth on them, 7 numbers from the right, or 9 from the left some states, 0-4 male 5-9 female placed with in the numbers. remember don't just jump at someone for parking there, they can park there to pick someone up, or drop off, they don't have to be the card holder. and handi-capped isn't just phyical, some states allow brain -farts too.

The most were options, or add ons. I for one like to upgrade the fairing, and add more gauges, motor out put was big on the list. increase in electrical output, stator,upgrade accessories, lighting, both front & back. Better brakes, more horse power. chrome forks, better tires, sound systems, upgrade speakers. just some, I'm bent on the rear shaft, at 12,300. miles I had to have the whole rear end changed on my 07, PARTS!!!!!! Ten days to get parts for the bike, Drive shaft had to be ordered from Japan. None in stock in the U.S.A., I could not beleave it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everything always has to be ordered. that Sucks!!!!!!!!!!! I even started to look for a local company to make me a light rail & deco trim for the bags. Its a shame Markland went out of Business. on my 1984 Honda Goldwing Aspencade, I had almost every part they had for my year bike, on the bike. The Bike $7600.00 (toy accessory's $9000.00) I sold the bike to a dealer out of Albany NY. for $4000.00 and had 237,651.7 miles on it.

I was called by my local Yamaha Shop and asked if I'd like to do a 2 hour, sit down with the Yamaha Venture Makers, to talk about what WE think of the bike, and is there room for improvement. Please don't attack me with responces. But generally, I guess my questions would be for the newer Ventures 2nd Gen. What do you fell would improve the buying market for this bike? I'm meeting with them in two weeks. I have the floor for 20 minutes. so help me out with the question. I for one would like more factory access. Light bars, Back rests, passanger arm rests. CD player, upgraded speakers. windsheilds with vents I'm going to talk to them about the drive shaft issues.

if your useing a spray can. their is a black line up arrow, on the can, this gives you the best dirrect spray, I would say, using a sweeping motion, 10 to 12 inches from parts. try the can that way first, then turn to tip alittle to the right and try it again. keep doing this until you find the best spray spread you like. start from the bottom and work your way up, slightly over lapping the first line. this keeps you from making runs. remember you WILL have to go over it again, so don't worry if you miss an area. also shake the can for a minute or so, before you start spraying, and after each time you stop. I wish I could be there to help you. Call me if you need more information 954-430-9771 Mike
