    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?

    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.

    That link is not correct. The correct URL is: http://www.motowerk.com Here is a direct link to the stand lowering kits. http://motowerk.com/Versys.aspx

    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.
  16. Freebird
    Got it thanks. 34 bells remaining.
  17. Freebird
    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.

    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.
  22. Freebird
    OK folks...I THINK I'm done. Let me know if you see anything that is not working correctly. Thanks for your patience.
  23. Freebird
    Should work now. I've just finished MOST of the update. Just have a few templates to modify.
  24. Freebird
    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
