I don't know if there is a way to do that or not but I'll take a look tomorrow night.

Well, we are back and had a nice time. Weather wasn't too good but we went in the car so it wasn't a big deal. Spent the weekend at Cook Forest in PA at MacBeth's Cabins. Great area if you have never been there. We have been there before on the bike and there is some fantastic riding. Would be a great place for a rally sometime in the future. I took the computer but there was no service. Heck...there wasn't even any cellular service so we were really disconnected. So...I got home and made my way through more than 700 emails. Now back on the road tomorrow.

Eileen and I are going out of town for the weekend. I will be taking my computer but don't know if there is WIFI there so if you don't get a response to a post/pm/email....please be patient. Will respond Sunday night or Monday morning.
-
OK....headed to the post office to ship the 4 that have ordered over the past couple of days. I also checked and I have a couple more than I thought so there are NOW 6 more left if anybody else wants one or two. Eileen and I are going away for the weekend. Anybody who orders after right about...NOW...will have to wait until Monday for shipment. Don

I would need to see some pictorial proof of that.
-
No, not that I know of. Even if there was, I wouldn't tell you.
-
Well....first of all...those are NOT the right pictures. That is NOT my bike. The ones that Brad are talking about are around here somewhere though. I was not broke down however, just getting ready to move from Texas to Ohio. Just couldn't figure out how to drive two cars and ride the motorcycle at the same time. That Brad is just a trouble maker.

A lot of us just split the fairing and hard wire the GPS power.

I'm glad you all like them. I was hesitant the first time I did this because I had never tried this brand before. I can honestly say though, it keeps my coffee hotter than any travel mug I've ever owned. OK....I think I am down to 6 now. I have two to ship when I get home tomorrow.

It will be interesting to see how the Autometer gauges work out. I like the look of the gauges but didn't want to give up the three gauge setup. The Equus gauges I ended up going with are very nice also. It just seems that even with two gauges it is going to be a very tight fit even vertically.

I agree with you. My son is 17 and though I've had a number of small bikes around and he has ridden some, he never got excited about it like I did at his age. I got my first bike when I was about 14 and couldn't get enough of it. He's the same way with cars though. I was always doing something to my car whether it was wheels, exhaust, stereos (8 track by the way), whatever. He has no interest as long as it starts and gets him where he needs to go. As for the Star Touring membership decline, I wonder if that is not directly related to the drop in motorcycle sales. I know that a new purchaser of a Star brand motorcycle gets a free one year membership. Like most clubs, the renewal rate is not spectacular. So with less new members coming from new one year free memberships, I would think that would have a definite affect on the number of members. Don't know if I'm right or wrong, just thinking out loud.

I think I found the thread I was thinking of. Check it out for some good info. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40836&highlight=1156

There was another discussion here somewhere about those bulbs. If nobody else chimes in, I'll try to find it.

Ron, I just sent you a copy of the PayPal email. Unless you did a separate order, it was only one. Don

And here is a picture of them also.
-
I looked at his profile and assume that he is talking about his RSV. They are different and and a little harder to get to.
-
No...you are correct. I read it wrong. So...they are down almost 40%. Still not good but better than 60%. But it looks like they are third to Honda and Kawasaki.
-
I'm not home to look but I'm pretty sure that they are on the back side. So you have to reach through to access them from the opposite side of the bike than the cards you are working on.
-
Yes, there are drain screws on the bottom of the carb bowls. They are kind of hard to see but they are there.
-
HA....she replied and it's in the mail. Guess there's no Australian trip available now. There are 7 more mugs folks.

Done. I copied the info to the Fist Gen Tech Library under Engine and Drivetrain. -
Not really a big surprise but still not good. Yamaha's production numbers are actually down by 60.8%. http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcycle-news/statistics/motorcycle-sales-statistics.htm

I only recently learned of the passing or member Ronald V. Cleveland, Canadianrider here on our site after his long batter with cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family and friends. I have added Ronald to our memorial page. I used a picture off his personal blog page. I hope that is OK.
