I got a nice first ride of the season last weekend. I've been out of town all week but talked to my wife last night and she told me that the ground is covered with snow again now. Cruel trick mother nature...VERY CRUEL TRICK. I'm headed home today but doesn't look like there will be a ride this weekend.

Same here. Mine came out about 6 years ago. I just put it back in...tapped it a lightly with a mallet and it's never come out or leaked again. I didn't put anything on it.

Got it thanks. 34 bells remaining.
-
LOL...I never knew it was missing. You folks have to tell me these things.

Maybe but to be honest, I just don't think I want to pursue it. When I originally contacted them, I asked about getting bags supplied with our logo and asked for a price. I was given the price with discount including our logo. I just feel that we had reached an agreement and now they are changing it. I've heard good things about the product and I think that they are probably a good company but I've just grown frustrated with the amount of time I've put into it and now the last minute change.

installing heat demons on RSV
Freebird replied to earwig's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
The threaded insert in the end of the bars is actually spot welded in. There is no way to get it out without grinding the spot weld off and pretty much ruining the bars. I did that when I installed the Flanders bars on my '99. I ground down the spot weld to remove the insert and used it in my flanders bars. Here's a link that shows it pretty well. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11122 -
OK folks, this is the last call. I'm going to give this through the weekend and then total up all the sizes and etc. and get them ordered on Monday. Don't miss out. This IS the first ever official Freebird's Maintenance Day shirt. Own a piece of VentureRider History. These will be VERY expensive once one of them ends up in the Smithsonian.

OK folks...I think I'm going to pull the plug on this one. I got a response but now they want to add $3.00 per bag for our logo. I had already started figuring the total cost and by the time I pay the shipping to get them to me and then package them all up and ship them out to you and now the extra for the logo, there is no longer a discount to be had but a LOT of work. I just don't think it's worth it.
-
OK folks...I THINK I'm done. Let me know if you see anything that is not working correctly. Thanks for your patience.
-
Should work now. I've just finished MOST of the update. Just have a few templates to modify.
-
OK folks...I am going to have to update the software here to address some recently discovered security holes. I am getting ready to do it now so if you see some minor hiccups...don't panic. I will be panicking enough for all of us.

The more I hear of this the more it irritates me. I have heard 3 different stories as to WHY they are canceling these rooms. If anybody wishes to file a complaint, I would encourage you to do so. Here is a link to the complaint page of the BBB for this area. https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/getstarted.aspx?siteID=78

Yea, that may be it. OK folks....46 bells remaining.
-
Folks...I do not pretend to be an attorney...but...I've done a little research on this and this is what I've read. If you call have a confirmation only...then they can for a valid reason cancel it. BUT...if you have a reservation that you used a credit card to SECURE then they are guilty of breach of contract if they cancel. It is one of those things that is typically not taken to court because the amount of money involved is not worth it but there are laws about this sort of thing.

It looks very similar to the Honky trailer. http://www.honkytrailer.com/

OK folks...I just ordered 50 more bells. You will find the ordering information in the thread linked in my first post.

Battery Bypass, Right Wire?

That's strange. I talked to him last yesterday afternoon and he told me that we are losing 10 rooms. Would be nice if we could get a consistent answer. I've also heard three different explanations as to why they are being canceled.

Thanks....maybe I actually did it right in some cases.

Folks, I'm getting quiet a few PMS and emails asking when your memberships expire. Most of you can click on "UserCP" in the menu bar and then scroll down until you see "Paid Subscriptions" in the left menu. Click on that and it will tell you when your subscription expires. I THINK that only works for those of you who went through that link to pay. If you mailed your dues and I had to do it manually, I'm not sure it will display the dates. Those of you who got in close to the beginning of the process will be coming due primarily between the middle and end of April. Assuming that they system works correctly, you should get email notifications if you subscribed through that link. Renewals can be done at anytime you wish.

Well....I will acknowledge that there is some truth to your statement, I still think the guy is a bonehead. I mean come on....blue lights..police cars....that really should be SOME clue that there you may need to watch where you are going. Now...that is NOT to say that I haven't done some bonehead things myself and if I were that driver...I would be saying to myself...YEP...I am a BONEHEAD.

Yes, that is the same person. I didn't even ask her to do anything about my tire. I told her that I had not written to them in order to get any compensation for my tire but that I was just concerned about what I am seeing and others are reporting. Mine aren't bad and I may even be able to wear them out before the cracks get bad enough to concern me. I just honestly feel that there is a problem and like you, I really do like the performance of these tires and was just hoping that they would actually listen and take steps to correct the issue. The bottom line is that if I had no other good choices in tires, I would buy another set of Avons and not be terribly worried about this but we DO have other choices. The Michelin Commander is a very good choice and though I've not used them, we are hearing good reports on the Dunlop E III also. I really do like the Avon but don't find it to be so heads and shoulders above the Michelin that I would buy them again unless I know that the cracking issue has been resolved.
-
WOW...I'm just not sure...but they are certainly different. I guess I would need to see them in person. Now if there was a TRIGGER for dealing with tailgaters...now that would be cool.
-
Well....I'll just take numbers 94 and 101. Neither are the favorite that I have seen of those models but they would do.

Go to this page. http://www8.garmin.com/vehicles/ In the right column it lists models that are voice compatible. Appears to be only some, maybe all, of the Nuvi series.
