    He did some good movies. Sure hated to hear the news but it was not a total surprised based upon recent reports. Only 57, what a shame.

    All of you are SO pathetic as this that I'm only going to let this one run for a few days. I think on Friday evening or Saturday morning I'll choose a winner and then get the gauges in the mail. I don't know how many of these I can read.

    Heck Charlie, you would be unique regardless of what you were riding.

    Looks like we were typing at the same time. I'll pick another date. Thanks for thinking of that.

    Yea, I'm going to have to pick another weekend. I hate to admit it but that Mini Mouse..uh....I mean Muffin is right. I just checked the Oberlin College site and that is indeed graduation weekend. I'll get back to all of you with another date.

    Eileen and I actually got a few miles in today also. Left here about 11:00 and headed down to the area of Cambridge, OH. We wanted to ride through Salt Fork State Park just because we hadn't been through there before. Ended up riding about 265 miles and YES...we DID stop at the DQ for ice cream just before getting home.

    I'm trying to set a date for the annual Freebird's Maintenance Day. First week of June is out because I have a company trade show that weekend. I'm looking now at the last weekend of May. That would be the weekend of the 29th. That is also Memorial Day weekend though. That works fine for me but maybe not for many of you who would like to attend. So I need your feedback. How many of you have a problem with it being on Memorial Day weekend?

    OK folks...I recently replaced my Sunpro gauges on the '99 RSV with a new faceplate from Ponch and a new set of Equus gauges. I liked the off white color of the new gauges better. So, I have a set of Sunpro gauges with the chrome faceplate available to one of you for free. You will have to pick up or make the adapters for the water sensor as we all do but everything else will be there. So who do I give them to? Let's try to have some fun with this. I want to hear your hard luck stories about why you need a set of free gauges. Your milk cow went dry, whatever. Just submit your best FICTIONAL story about how down and out you are and I'll choose a winner based upon what I think is the best submission.

    I too have the Corbin and it is leather. I think it is much cooler than the stock vinyl seats.

    I don't remember the exact from and to places but the longest for me solo was about 1020 miles in about 17 hours from I think somewhere in Tennessee to somewhere in PA. The longest two up was coming home from Alberta, Canada a few years ago with Eileen. We did just over 700 miles one day. Don't remember how long that one was but probably about 12 hours or so. Both of these were on the '99 RSV.

    Actually I could add music. I could even do it in a way that it would be optional for those who want to hear it and those who don't. The problem is that it would use a TON of bandwidth and could get very expensive. Let me check into that and see what options are available. I do have music in the chat room and I think that Freebird is still there, don't remember for sure now. I actually need to change the chat room music, same songs have been there a long time.

    It varies for everybody depending upon rider and passenger weight and etc. but I would start at around 35 lbs. and see how that works out. I think the maximum is 57 pounds but that is just from memory and I may be wrong. Front is fine at 0 but 7 lbs. is max. Don't try using a airhose from a compressor for either one. They are very low volume and you can easily blow the seals. Most of us use a hand pump from Progressive Suspension.

    Great to hear from you. I know you are busy but you have GOT to stop ignoring us here. Heck...we are family TOO you know. I wish you the very best with your new career. I know that things are busy for you right now but sure hope that you and Sam can make Maintenance Day again next year. I'm leaning towards the last weekend of May. Congrats to your son and new daughter.

    I used to have the Samson turndowns on my '99. They sounded good but were WAY too loud for me. I think they are about the loudest aftermarket pipes you can buy for the Venture.

    Does anybody here love Skynyrd? DUH.......
  16. Freebird
    If that truly happens, and I'm not at all convinced that it will, then this will be my last Venture unless I buy a used one. I'm just not that excited about the Strat and if I go with an air cooled V-Twin, it would be an Ultra Classic.

    I've copied the pertinent information to the first gen tech library.

    This was sent to me by one of our members. Please follow this link for more details, I sent a message to grampagak too, just want to get the word out to try and help a fellow enthusist, sounds like law enforcement has not been a big help. *** URGENT-Search for Don-9/12/2009 *** Search Details "Donald Masters left Orofino, ID, Monday, August 31, headed for West Yellowstone and then on to Denver. He has not been seen or heard from since. We have reason to believe he may have gone missing Monday (he was due into Denver Wednesday). He was riding a black 2008 Goldwing, Colorado Plate #327-UTH."

    LOL.....I'm thinking about censoring myself.

    Even that can be misleading. Even if the element is burned open, you should still read 220 volts. Only by lifting at least one of the wires can you tell if the element is burned open. If you lift both wires, POWER OFF, you should read continuity across the element. The only way to check it with power on would be to remove only ONE wire and see if the 110 volts to the wire still connected is traveling through the element to the terminal that now has no wire on it.

    I can see that the corner isn't going to be big enough.
  23. Freebird
    I think you need to go stand in the corner with Redneck.

    Me thinks you are just again.

    Just a little educational note about our classifieds section. When it is getting close to the time for your ad to expire, you get an email asking if you wish to renew the ad. There is a link to click if you item hasn't sold and you wish to renew it. There is another link to click if your item has sold or if you just don't want to relist it for whatever reason. That is ALL you do. If you wish to renew the ad and you click on the link, that automatically renews the ad. You don't click on the link and then have to go somewhere and do something else. You just click on the link and it is automatically renewed. I get a lot of emails from people telling me that they clicked the link to renew their ad but then couldn't find where to do it. There is nothing else to do. Just click the link.
