I also don't care about the finish. It is is brushed on one side and bright orange on the other I could care less. So long as it works.

Well...I would NEVER be dumb enough to state that mine is non-essential but there is no doubt in my mind that she makes my bike look better than anything else that I have added to it. You Ruffy...are a VERY brave man.

Just wanted to let everybody know that I have repaired the tech article that Squidley had done on installing the auxiliary line splitter on the RSV. It was an excellent article but the photos were linked to a now defunct photobucket account so none of the images were showing up. I have now uploaded all the images are corrected the article to point to their permanent location. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3905 I actually got caught up a bit tonight and had a little time to practice my guitar for a while. I always take it with me when I travel but haven't had much time to play it lately. It sure felt good to pick for a bit.

I don't know...I see a few folks in there almost every night. Looks like there are about 3 folks in their right now.

When I moved from Texas to Ohio, I bought a 5 x 10 trailer to haul my bike to Ohio. I use this chock: http://www.blackandgray.com/wchockMain.php I later sold that trailer and left the chock on it but really did like it.

I agree with all...fantastic idea.

When I left this morning to make sales calls, I left it here and plugged in but took my laptop with me of course. When I got back this afternoon, it still worked just fine. When I first connected and launched my browser, it did take me to their welcome page first but most hotels reset that connection every day so I normally have to do that anyway. Nothing different than being plugged directly into the ethernet port.

There you go. Now try to ge THAT picture out of your minds.

When I checked into the hotel this week, they told me that they were giving me a complimentary upgrade to a suite. That happens every now and then due to the number of nights that I stay at hotels during the year. It is a very nice suite with two huge rooms, refrig, micro wave, jacuzzi tub, etc. While it was a nice gesture on their part, it turned out to be a real pain for me because the Internet here is hard wired, not wireless, and the only ethernet jack is in the living room area behind the TV and even with the 16 foot cable that I carry with me, it would not reach anywhere that was comfortable to work online. This has happened in the past but this time I was working on the VRAssistance list and ended up being on the computer for about 6 hours and it was miserable. I decided that it was time to remedy the problem. I ended up buying an Airport Express wireless unit that is made by Apple. You simply plug this into the wall, connect it to the ethernet outlet in the room and it very easily creates a password protected/secure WIFI network. WOW...this thing works fantastic. It would also be a good option for the home if you have hard wired ethernet at home and wish to go wireless. I already have a wireless setup at home but if I were to do it again, I would go with one of these units because it is really simple to setup and works great. So, last night I was able to lay in bed again and watch TV while connected to my own private wireless network setup in the other room. I LOVE it when a plan comes together. The price was $109 at Best Buy and worth every penny. They may be available cheaper elsewhere but I didn't have time to shop around. It is sure worth the money though.

I have re-installed the image resizing modification with some changes. It seems to be working and not adding the imagehacks links this time. Let me know if it starts causing any of the problems again.

I agree that it is strange. I have my home and my wife's car insured through State Farm. I've been with them for about 14 years. My bike is insured through Progressive because they were a fraction of the cost even with the State Farm discount for having my other insurance with them. Even more strange, when my son got his driver's license when he was 16, we gave him a 1996 Ford Taurus. It was paid for so we took our liability only on it. When I tried to add it to our State Farm policy it was CRAZY high. Ended up insuring it through Geico for a fraction of the cost for the same coverage. So...I have insurance now with three different companies. Doesn't make sense but it sure pays to shop around.

You wouldn't be NEAR so confused if I would pull my head out of the dark place. Very sorry....I neglected to notice that we were talking about a first gen. The fact that it is posted by somebody who clearly states in his post bit that he has a first gen and the fact that it is posted in the first gen tech talk area probably should have been a decent clue but I am plenty capable of ignoring such subtle hints.

You won't need the 8 pin cable at all. Simply unplug the aux cable from the back of the cassette deck and run it out. It is not part of the 8 pin cable at all.

I'm really not sure exactly what you are looking for. Baron's makes a replacement cover that some of us have for our Baron's tachs. If you want to fabricate your own mount though, I would think that you could just modify the one that you already have. http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/category/24/index.html?PHPSESSID=0397109da6e403d6a3e68ba280f7b026

I agree folks...geezzzz...can't we even discuss the weather without it turning political. Some believe the horror stories, some don't.....that's not what the thread is about.

Heck Charlene, you've ALWAYS been in our prayers just for having to keep up with Lewis. It's just that you are even more in them now. Take care of yourself and heal properly.

That has to be at the top of my "dream trip" list. Someday maybe.

and...I don't see where the post is out of line at all. We DO support our troops here whether they be active or retired.

Please tell him that we are thinking of him. Sounds like he was very lucky but I do know how hard it is in these economic times to have to replace something out of pocket. Still...it could have been so much worse.
-
Same here...it was only a few years ago after moving to Ohio that I even tried it. Tried it for about 5 minutes and felt that was plenty.

Are you kidding...I've only tried ice skating one time. We didn't have a lot of ice where I grew up in Texas.

No WAY. I will NOT knight you until I have sampled the product.

There are a lot of good guitars on the market and you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to get one. I love my Seagull. I think they are about as good as you can buy for the money spent. Mine does have the cedar top, wild cherry back and sides and the maple neck. It is a solid top but I think the back and sides are laminated. Great low action for an acoustic.

LOL...feisty? ME? I'm just trying to keep this thing in the No Spin Zone. For the record, I don't even LIKE hockey. I've been to ONE game and I figured it very quickly. If you swat that puck enough times, it's eventually gonna go into the net. Total chaos.
-
And that is exactly what I said. Hockey was NOT invented by Canadians. It was invented by British soldiers who just happened to be in Canada at the time or possibly by the Scots CENTURIES before some of them immigrated to Canada. Thank you for proving my point.
