    I got these from either Midnight Rider or Cinderella and thought that some of them were pretty cool.

    I think this is the one. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13180

    The Can-Am trailer looks very similar to a Hannigan to me.

    I live in Ohio and I'm not sure either. I would think though that in most states they could find something to charge you for.

    I don't think that doing BOTH will give you the results you are looking for. If you look closely at these bikes, you will, see that they sit a bit low in the rear. Adding the leveling links OR lowering the front end levels the bike and greatly improves handling. If you do both, the bike is still going to sit low in the rear and, I think, defeat the purpose. If you are inseam challenged, then lowering the front is probably the way to go. If you can handle the rear being raised a bit then that is the way to go. I have the leveling links and love them but I'm pretty tall.

    Anybody who is only looking for intercom capability should be OK with the cheap J&M units. If you are looking for something to listen to music though, I highly recommend the Edsets over anything else I've heard. I've used the top of the line J&Ms, the AirRiders and the cheaper J&Ms and none of them are as good as the Edsets in my opinion.

    They are beautiful bikes and you will be very happy with it. The biggest problem you are facing in regards to performance though is that they don't get enough air. Yamaha went with looks instead of performance on those models and drastically reduced the air flow in order to hide the air filters. The first thing you need to do is increase the air in...that will for SURE require re-jetting also. The ignition modules are not going to help much at all if that is all you do. There may be cheaper ways to go but Baron's offers a kit that will do the job. http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/display/254/index.html

    Please check out the poll if you haven't done so already.

    Well if that's the case, it is really a moot point. Without Internet access at the other site, you have no choice except to take your external hard drive to that computer to do any backups at all.

    Have you considered an online backup? I've never used it but I hear a lot about Carbonite. http://www.carbonite.com/

    WOW...is that pup going to be spoiled rotten or what. Very cute though.

    The pic gallery is entirely different from the album. They are kind of redundant but the pic gallery was added long before the albums became part of the forum software. To add pictures to the pic gallery, click on UserCP in the lower menu bar at the top. In the left column, you will find a link called "Edit VBPicGallery". Click on that and then fill in the info at the top to add new album. The click "submit". It will take you to another page where you can upload the pictures from your computer to your gallery.

    Not ALL provide use Sims. I know that none of my Verizon phones ever have.

    I'm really happy for you Bob. You are a good man and deserve some good news. Good jobs are not easy to come by right now, I'm glad they recognized talent when they saw it.

    It doesn't show my house at all.

    Very cute pup....now let the peeing commence.

    There are several companies offering pay as you go plans without a contract. I've never used any of them but know people who do. They are available at Walmart, Best Buy, etc.

    The beautiful red ones came today also. Well....I just got home today..not sure when they came. One for me and one for a Maintenance Day door prize. Thanks much...they are GREAT.

    I'm not saying that it couldn't be done because folks can do some pretty amazing things when they put their mind to it. There would be a lot of things to consider though. Yes, the airboxes can be removed and replaced with pods. I've seen that done on these bikes before. I don't have any pictures of it but somebody may have. There is a LOT of wiring inside that fairing and in those lowers however. Wiring, cruise control components, much more. I think it will take a lot of work to make it look decent.

    They have been around for a long time. I think that it used to be considered pretty much the premier windshield for the first gen bikes. They used to have a bend on each side and I've heard some complain about viewing distortion in the area of the bends. Otherwise, I think that they make a quality product.

    I also suspect that there would be no way for Yamaha to lower the sight glass enough that it would enable the oil to be seen while on the side stand.

    I think that Eddie had pictures uploaded long ago but never did it again after the site crash a few years ago. I did a search but didn't find any pictures of "The Shiny One".
  23. Freebird
    I know that Eddie had his diamond cut...I'm thinking that he had them chromed also.

    OK folks. The design, color, etc. is pretty much finalized. The poll has been simplified. Please take the time to vote as it is important that I get a good estimate on the number of shirts that will be ordered. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45433

    It really does depend upon where you copied and pasted it from. For example...if you copy and paste it from your email then it won't be seen by anybody but you as nobody else can access your email. There are many examples of where copy and paste just don't work. You are simply linking to the location of the picture, not actually transferring the picture to here.
