    I am kinda hoping its not too much difference as I just bought a 10x 6 continental cargo flat front last Sat. Of course , just knowing how things usually work for me that there will be a huge difference and the v front will be MUCH cheaper to run. Brian

    I went to my eyewear dealer and had them put transitions lenses in the frame I wanted. now I have them for whatever time of day I want, mine get very dark in bright sunlight (you cant see my eyes) and clear at night. They cost more this way, but I am more inclined to look after them and not lose them this way as it becomes a habit to wear everytime. Brian

    It looks like we have an petroleum industry intent on ripping the consumer off. According to a local newspaper article on the weekend 1 in 10 gas pumps were measuring wrong, and 85 % of those WERE IN THE VENDORS FAVOUR. How does such an imbalance happen if the industry doesnt know about it. Here's a link to the article (I hope this works)http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/features/hosedatthepumps/story.html?id=e28c1895-89cc-49b7-88bf-484aa73c86dc From what I gather its worse my locale than anywhere else in Canada but it is a nationwide issue. We need to step up the inspections! Brian

    hey gw my 85VR looks to be identical to yours in this respect also. It leans over a loonnng way and sometimes its a real bear to get off the side stand. It helps a bit to let all the air outta the class system but I worry about the lean being a lotta stress on the stand too. Mine doesnt appear to be worn or stressed in any way so I guess i am just gonna have to keep that little 3/4 inchpad around to put my stand on, it does make a huge difference to the effort used to get the vr upright.

    I was looking at some highway pegs and was going to order but wasnt sure what diameter the engine guard on my 85 vr is. It looks like 1 inch tube but would like to be sure before I order. Any experts got this off the top of their heads? Thanks in advance, Brian:think:

    thanks for the update jt , both of you together keep on fighting this thing, and we will keep sending all the positive thoughts and best wishes flowing your way to help give you both strength. Medical science has ways of fixing or controlling a lot of things theses days , a friend of mine had a form of lymphoma 15 years ago and is still going strong today. Mario lemeiux the hockey player had a form of lymphoma about 10 years ago wasnt it? and he's doing fine today, so keep thinking positive!!! Brian

    I like my transitions also, I have a tiny bit of astigmatism since my cataract surgery so mine are prescription but only slightly more than reg sunglasses. Here's the link to a thread that was started a while back http://venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21403

    That same box showed over 65 bucks to me, but they gotta use dog sleds half the year, so I guess that would be the reason.... Brian

    Hi Barry I was wondering if you knew when the stock car race season starts out there, I usually get out there for a few races a year, you guys have a great track to watch the dirt track stocks on. I cant find their schedule of races on a website. Thanks, Brian:cool10:

    I have an 8 gig mp3 player I just bought from circuit city. Most of my music is at 128 mb and almost cant fill my 8 gig player up. the size goes up exponentially with the bitrate and on the bike I figured you wouldnt be able to hear the clarity of a higher rate anyway with the wind and traffic noise. If I remember correctly, (and at my age I may be wrong) most cd's are around 140 bitrate. I listen to my mp3 player thru a cassette adapter which gives me quite a lot better sound than when I used an fm transmitter to my radio. Brian:cool10:

    HI Dave See the experts around here are a fountain of knowledge. So if you still want my old brown seat (no tears or rips, but a bit worn and needs cleaning) youre welcome to it just let me know where to send it to. My payment will be as we talked earlier is that you pass the goodwill along if you see someone else that requires something you may have,as thats kinda how we work around here. Oh yeah Ill take some pics later so you can see when I get home frome work around 5pm. Catch ya later, Brian:cool10:

    Thanks for all you do! You spend so much of your free time helping us out, and we really do appreciate it. With living in Saskatchewan there arent too many of us 1st gen guys around top swap solutions (and BS) with, so the work you do becomes a big part of how we communicate. Big thumbs up!!! Brian

    just got to thinking (I know that may surprise some around here....lol) but my saddle from my 85 should fit his 86 1st gen shouldnt it? come on all you experts. Thanks, Brian:cool10:
  24. friesman
    I have a brown oem saddle that I am not using that you are welcome to, as I was trying to downsize and make room. It isnt perfect, and needs a good cleaning, but no tears or rips. oops, almost forgot, its off my 85 1st gen. I dont have a pic but when my camera gets charged i will post one. Brian:cool10:

    I dont know if there is anything I could do to help you out with this, but I am a LAN Admin for our local PUblic School Board of about 50 schools and 7000 machines. Just ask if you think there is anything I could try and help with. Brian:cool10:
