This is why I don't buy ANY of that junk on the late night TV commercials. I do have an expensive pasta maker that my wife bought about 10 years ago though. It actually does work pretty well but we've used it ONE time in those 10 years.
-
No, but I'll try to get that done this week.
-
I don't know. It DOES have the MM seat. I'm thinking that it has been painted but that they used the stock description for it.
-
LOL...you gotta love that lustrous, two-tone, pearl white and ivory paint.

OK...it's not mercury but the current substitute. http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=&store=&catId=&productId=p282857&leafCatId=&mmyId=

Dennis Kirk used to sell it. Might want to check their website.

Yes, Rick has most of what anybody would need for these bikes and VentureRiders get a discount from him also. -
Here's the bracket: http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/312/cat/7 and a wiring harness http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/2541/cat/7/date/1161840513

For my '99 RSV, I pay $95.00 a year. I only carry liability on it.

I have the Corbin with the built in backrest. If it ever said "solo" only, I never saw it. I do have my trunk moved back the 1". My wife isn't very big but still likes the extra room.
-
WOW....sounds like some of MY weeks lately. Hope things turn out for the best.
-
Sorry...I've never used it. I'm surprised that somebody here hasn't though.
-
Yep..this one is called Snow White Pearl and I agree about the RSV. If it had been available in white when I bought mine in '99, that is what I would be riding.
-
I've actually already added it to the "Links" page.

Yes, but I don't think that he has a website any longer. Somebody posted this info yesterday. Mark's Performance Products. 18011 Westlawn St., Hesperia, CA, 92345 phone no. 760-948-1346 email @ markpipe@net0.net

I understand about the dealers. I won't buy from an aggressive dealership. I searched online before we went to look. The first one we stopped at advertised on their site that they had 40 2011 Sorentos in stock. We got there to find that they actually had maybe 15. The first thing I noticed was that on every car, they had added a price sticker that added $1795.00 for an ignition cut out theft device. I hate dealerships that add anything to the sticker and then claim that it's already installed so you have to take it. I told the salesman that IF they had what we wanted, I would absolutely NOT pay for any such dealer added options. He said that he would talk to his manager but thought that they were already installed and we had to take it. They didn't have the exact vehicle that we wanted anyway so much to his displeasure, we left. I then simply drove through a second dealers lot and saw that they didn't have the vehicle that we wanted either. The last stop was the dealership that was actually closest to my home. No ripoff dealer options added. It is also the dealership that I used for service on my '04 Sorento and even though I bought it used and not from them, they always treated me very well. They had a nice selection but again, not exactly what we wanted. They did a vehicle locate and did a dealer trade for the exact model, exterior and interior color and options that we wanted and went the next day and picked it up. It was a very easy negotiation. The salesman had our '04 appraised for trade value and came back with their first offer. It was actually better than I expected. I sold cars for a few years so had a very good idea where we would be. I looked it over and told him that we were close but not quiet where we should be. I made him an offer that was $1,000.00 less than they started with. I told the salesman that I wasn't going to play any games. I said that is what I will pay. If you can't do it, then that's fine. We'll shake hands and maybe can do better next time but there would be no back and forth and this was it. He came back in about 3 minutes and told me that we had a deal. That was it. I feel that I got a good deal and they should have been OK also. It was a very pleasant experience.

You find it by reading ALL the posts. I've actually enjoyed seeing what everybody else drives. WOW...some of you folks drive some really nice cars and trucks and one thing that surprised me is how many miles some of you have on your vehicles. I guess it shouldn't have though because there are many in this group who know how to maintain their vehicles and keep them going. Why white? I really don't know. Eileen and I both really like white vehicles. The '04 that we traded in was also white as have been many of our cars and trucks over the years. She briefly considered bright silver this time but within a few minutes said "no, I want white again". In my opinion, the white is easier to keep looking good over the years as it doesn't show small scratches, swirl marks and etc. like darker colors can.

HEY...I posted it yesterday. Higher up in this same thread.
-
Yes, another Kia Sorento. Here are the details. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showpost.php?p=428311&postcount=75
-
Well the '04 Sorento that we traded only got about 17 MPG city and 20-21 HWY if we were very careful how we drove it. The new one that we bought is rated 21 city and 27 HWY I think it was. If it gets that, we will be very happy with it.
-
That's funny. Only tried it once so far. 31 here also.

Don, It was never a question of me wanting it moved to the Fun forum. The issue was that I did not want to make it a permanent "sticky" thread at the top of the Watering Hole. It is a good thread and a fun thing to do but many people have asked to have various threads "stuck" at the top. I can't stick everybody's favorite because then there would be pages of sticky threads and the regular ones would start several pages back. Then the complaint was that without it being a "sticky", it was too hard to for people to find. So I moved it to the Fun forum and stuck it there. Now it's easy to find but there are a very few who don't like it not being in the Watering Hole. I'm sorry, as hard as I may try, I can't please everybody. I will leave it as is or would be willing to move it back to the watering hole but NOT stuck at the top. I never understood why it would be hard to find. Those that care about finding it easily can simply add it to their subscribed threads and then it would be very easy to find.

I've tried many and really think that the Edsets are the best. http://www.edsets.com/

There is a thread here somewhere where somebody tried that Bazooka system and the review wasn't very good. Do a search for Bazooka and you should find it. I've pretty much given up on getting great sound from the external speakers. I tried the Pioneer speakers and the Polk speakers and found both to be marginally better than the stock speakers. The best solution that I've found is the Edsets headsets. After trying about every other brand out there in high and low end models, I am finally pleased with the headsets now that I've gone to Edsets. I'm convinced that you can add amps or do whatever else you wish but the system will never sound great with the small speakers and there is just no good way to install larger ones. I went ahead and found the review on the Bazooka system. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35681&highlight=bazooka

I've found few of these that actually work as advertised. This one sounds promising. If you have a problem with your face shield fogging up, it sounds like this is worth a try and not terribly expensive. http://www.webbikeworld.com/r4/clarity-defog-it/
