Folks, I think that Eileen and I are going to try to take an Alaskan Cruise in July or August of 2010. We have a lady here who sells cruises and she asked me a year or so ago if I thought there was any interest within the club of a group package. I just thought I would throw it out here and see. Also, anybody who has done the inland passage Alaskan cruise and wants to share their opinion of the best cruise line to use and etc., it would be appreciated. I am thinking that we will depart from Seattle and do a 7 night cruise. I've looked at ads from Norwegian, Celebrity, Carnival and Princess at this time.

I'm interested. Mine is 10 years old and starting to crack. Just PM me a price. Don

You don't have to lose the MP3 plugin. It has a cable with a 1/8" stereo jack inside the fairing. Just unplug it from the cassette, get a short extension cable at radio shack, and run it out so that you can still use it. There is a tech article on it here: [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3905]Installing an Aux line splitter - VentureRider.Org[/ame] Just use an extension cable instead of the splitter.

I'm not sure about making chili with it but as for drinking, you can sub about anything for a Bud product and be better off.

I think you could actually argue that point but it would be an uphill battle. First of all, count on it taking up to a couple of years for your case to ever even make it to arbitration. If it's not settled in arbitration, it will take another year or so to make it to court. Yamaha will argue that it is a characteristic of the bike and not a defect. With enough evidence, sound clips, evidence of them trying to resolve the issue on MANY bikes, etc., I think that there is a good chance that you could convince a jury that it is NOT normal. I actually suspect that it would never make it to a jury trial. Yamaha would not want to take a chance of losing in court because that would open them up to many other similar suites. Most likely they would settle with you in arbitration and part of that settlement would be you signing a non-disclosure statement so that they can keep it quiet. So in short, I think you could win. Just be prepared for it to take at least a couple of years. There are plenty of lemon law attorneys who will take your case and it would cost you absolutely nothing until you settle but then they are going to probably take 1/3 of the money which will likely be only replacement cost. Most lemon laws that I have seen result in the manufacturer buying the vehicle back less so many cents per mile that were put on it before the case was filed and then less cents per mile for mileage put on it after the case was filed. Anybody who is truly unhappy would probably be ahead time and money wise to just sell the bike and buy something that they are happy with and THAT is exactly why Yamaha has not done anything about the issue.

I would think that it could be done fairly easily if somebody was good with bending tubing and etc. The second gen does not have a collector.

One of our other Australian members brought this up a long time ago. He said that the CBs do not meet some sore of legal requirements in Australia. Don't remember if it was CBs in general or something about these specific units.

OK folks. There are now 44 mugs left.
-
Mine were here then I got home today Buddy. Hope to try them out over the weekend if the rain will stop. They look fantastic though.
-
I did but have since shut it down. It never really took off and I just didn't have the time to properly promote it.

Well yea...but Texas is one of FIFTY states in the USA. BC is one of what....THREE.... ..OK...I KNOW it's not really three but you know what I mean. Besides, Texas is NOT the biggest state in the USA, that would be Alaska. It's still big enough though.

Sorry about that. I should have said something. Where did they eat? I ate at Lucky's Steakhouse on Wednesday night. Pretty good food.
-
They still do the family meals but this was just a regular meal. Still a LOT of food. I've heard about Tony's but haven't been there. Heard they have a good breakfast. Maybe I'll try it on my way home this morning.

I'm near Saginaw, MI tonight...actually I've been here all week. Staying in Birch Run. Tonight I drove over to Frankenmuth and had dinner at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn. The food was pretty good but I've got to tell you, I left enough food on the table to feed at least one or two more people. Those people just keep on bringing food.....geeezzzz.....enough already.
-
No problem. I'll let you know after I take one to the post office to see.
-
OK folks...there are now 59 mugs left.

I agree that the Garmin is a great unit. I have one also but it only works if you are willing to spend over $500.00 on a Garmin GPS. For just a straight XM, I had really good luck with the Roady II. I don't even know if they still make it but I one before getting my Garmin GPS and it worked very well.

Nope, that is not the pillow top seat. I bought my '99 new and it had that same seat before I changed to the Corbin. It does have some padding but nothing like the pillow top that the later ones had.
-
I don't think it's that hard. Make it a STATE PARK and I'll get it this weekend.
-
Which one? Crashing the Fat Cat. Changing my oil. My shoe laces getting hung on the shifter. I could go on but enough is enough.
-
HEY....you keep quiet.
-
Got it. Hurry folks....only 70 remaining. Actually, only 68 because I plan to keep at least two of them to put away in case my current two ever get lost.
-
I've seen some that have painted them on the inside and they looked great. I would also think you could use some window tint plastic if you wanted to. On the other hand....if my dealer ruined them...I would be pushing them to replace them out of their pocket.
