    I don't like it. I think it's a good idea and would be great on some bikes but first of all, I'm not sure that it would allow the GPS to clear the fairing on our bikes but even if it does, it puts the GPS way too low. I would rather have it mounted higher so that I don't have to look down all the time to see it.

    No, only I or a moderator can change a thread title. Will be happy to do so though. Just tell me what you want it changed to. Well...I just looked and it appears it has already been done.

    You just hit the multi quote button for every post that you want to respond to. Then you git the reply button. That copies the text of the selected posts to your reply and you just insert your responses after the /quote tag of each one.

    I was immediately suspicious but getting ready to do a search. You just never know now days. Thank you for reminding me that it is April Fool's Day though. Now I will be more careful the rest of the day.

    Good...you found it before I even had to look.

    June 19th. Oberlin, OH at my house. Hope you can make it.

    First of all, I would doubt that it is a heavy enough grease but the main thing is that I think all the grease is going to end up on the outside casing of the U-Joint and not between the shaft and inner splines of the joint where it needs to be.

    It was brought to my attention that there was a problem with the classifieds. When an item was listed with a separate shipping cost and the buy now was used. PayPal was not adding the shipping cost to the price of the item. There have been no recent changes so it has apparently been this way from the beginning. I thank Dingy for bringing the issue to my attention and it has been corrected now.

    Heck....that doesn't mean you have to leave us. It's not just about the bikes. It's about the friendships, the rides, the food. I do hope you enjoy the new FJR though, they are great bikes.

    Now WHY do you ALWAYS try to send out members elsewhere? Geeze...we have a number of RS riders here that MIGHT be able to help if given the opportunity.

    Yep....it will be no problem getting to it on Maintenance Day. If you do get down my way one weekend before then, just give me a shout and we'll do it then. It only takes about 10 or 15 minutes.

    Glad you got it working again. What you found is the most common problem. Here is the other info you are searching for. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3905

    This issue has been resolved. If anybody still has a problem, you probably have an old page cached. Just hold down the Ctl key while hitting the refresh button on your browser and that should flush your cache.

    OK folks...this is "LAST CALL". I will be placing the order tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

    I agree, this is certainly not the type of news I hoped to start my day with. I'm really sorry to hear it. I hope that all come through it and will certainly be sending my prayers.

    I hated to start another thread but certainly don't want anybody to miss this if you are still staying at the Oberlin Inn. Due to them canceling some of our rooms with no clear answer as to why, I decided to do a search to see if there were any other complaints. I was a little shocked at what I found. There are several reports on a number of travel sites about bed bug complaints. These complaints are recent, starting in the fall of 2009 and some as late as a month or two ago. I have no idea if the allegations about bed bugs are true and the Inn refutes them in a couple of reports but several people have reported the problem. You can make your own decision but felt that it needed to be noted. Here is a link to one travel site where you can read about the possible problem. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g50795-d101747-Reviews-Oberlin_Inn-Oberlin_Ohio.html#REVIEWS

    WOW.....were you able to type that with a straight face?
  19. Freebird
    Don't give it another thought. You did good by letting us know. Apparently they weren't even bothering to call some folks, just putting letters in the mail. Who knows...by the time some folks found out that their rooms had been canceled, there may not have been rooms elsewhere.

    Bed Bugs? Looks like there could be other problems as well. Read some of these current complaints. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g50795-d101747-Reviews-Oberlin_Inn-Oberlin_Ohio.html#REVIEWS

    Ohio is on the verge of passing a law that specifically outlaws texting while driving. I saw some folks being interviewed and one said that "they are making it more dangerous for me. Now I'll have to keep my phone in my lap and look down all the time".

    I received and have confirmed a big with the software update. The "Mark Forums Read" button in the Login Box at the top of the left side menu returns a security token error. I will find and correct the problem when I get the time. In the meantime, there is also a "Mark Forums Read" link in the Quick Links drop down menu on the right end of the upper menu bar. That one still works.

    I've got Fiamm electrics installed inside the fairing. They may not be quiet as loud as the Stebels but they are pretty darn good. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=500

    A couple of years ago, I broke down and bought a Toro 4 stroke week eater. No more mixing gas. It is strong and quiet. String is easy to load. The only thing is that it's a bit heavy but that's OK because I'm the only one that bothers to use it. I also bought a 4 stroke leaf blower. The only thing I own now that requires mixing oil and gas is the chain saw and sooner or later, there will be a good 4 stroke option for those also.

    Every time there is a discussion about anti-virus programs, Norton gets blasted. I've never understood. I've been using Norton anti-virus for more than 20 years and have never had a problem with it. It's never messed up my computers and has never failed to protect me. I'm always surprised to hear of all the issues that people have with it. Not knocking any of the others and in fact, I've installed AVG on my son and my wife's computers just because it is free and it seems to work very well.
