    I think that guy is a dreamer. Look on Ebay...they are not bringing that kind of money.

    Sounds like a decent price but he doesn't say how many miles are on it.

    Yes, there will be an International but the date nor place have been decided yet. That will be a new thread soon.

    I like the one that Annie posted.

    Sorry I hadn't gotten back to you Bill. It's been a busy week and now that I'm home for a couple of days, I have to get ready to leave for a company meeting in Minnesota early Monday morning and will be there all next week. It doesn't matter to me when you do it but just a reminder. My annual maintenance day is usually held late May or the first week or two of June.

    Here is a decent article and there is also a link to the EPA page where they tested over 100 devices. NONE worked. The magnet scam claimed that the "special" magnets somehow rearranged the gasoline molecules making combustion more complete. http://www.moneytalksnews.com/2008/09/24/gas-saving-devices-a-scam/

    They started out as inline 4s. Then they went to the inline 6 for a couple of years but then back to the 4 again.

    Very strange but I THINK I like it.

    That's blasphemy...blasphemy I tell you.

    I think those are cool bikes and would love to take one for a test ride but it is NOT a V6, it is an inline 3 cylinder.

    Looking forward to seeing the pics. It's nice when somebody gets excited about winning the prizes. Thanks for the update. You might want to consider Vogel State Park in the Smokies. Nothing but fantastic roads any direction you ride from there.

    Approval granted. Let us know if you come up with something, I wouldn't mind having one either.

    Not for me thanks. Just another crotch rocket type bike. http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/honda-vfr-confirmed-spring-2010-delivery-fall-2009-unveiling/

    That guy dropped it twice that I know of. He wasn't with the Ventureriders though.

    I feel for you and pray that they find a solution. Living in constant pain sure takes a lot out of a person. I'm glad that you know that you can vent here. We can't help much except to offer or prayers and support but we are sure happy to do that.

    I would just about bet that it's totally useless. Popular Science had an article about a year ago where they tested all the fuel saving devices on the market now and not a single one of them improved the mileage or performance and some actually did the opposite. I don't remember this particular device being tested but I would be that it will do nothing.

    You are pretty much as wide as you can go. Look at the clearance you have now between the swingarm and the tire. I wouldn't try it.
  18. Freebird
    Do you wanna bet on that? No WAIT...it's the betting that got you in trouble last time.

    I'm too embarrassed to repeat the names that she mentioned. They are too Girly.

    新しいYamahaの高貴な星の投機のスパイの写真にYamahaのライダーが興奮とぶんぶんうなることをある。 現在のモデル投機の古典的なスタイルを作ることを保っている間、新しいモデルは多分どんな一見を同じV4発電所のわずかに修正バージョンであることは VMAXの地上のポンドで最近解放したか組み込んでいる間現在のモデルよりより少しをわずかに重くするバイクに終って多くの軽量の合金フレームの部品を利 用するようである。 少し多くは現時点で知っているあるが、第一印象から、Yamahaがずっと顧客を全く聞いているようである。

    If you really insist on having the stock kit, Pinwall has one on Ebay for $19.95. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Royal-Star-XVZ1300-1300-TOOL-POUCH-W-TOOLS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em14Q2el1262QQhashZitem518ab6cd20QQitemZ350219586848QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    Are you SURE you looked at the right dog? She is only about 2 years old. You folks have come up with some good names. Probably won't matter though. Eileen called and said that the mutt is now in the back of her SUV and they are headed towards home. She already has a couple of names in mind.

    Sgripp posted what he uses and then deleted it for some reason. Maybe the link was bad. I use that same one though. I saw it on Rick Butler's bike while at the hub and he told me that he picked it up at Cycle Gadgets. I picked one up when we rode over there. I like it a lot. Like some others have stated, I move mine back and forth between the bike and my work car so needed it mounted so that I could easily remove it. Here is the link again. Only $5.50. http://www.cyclegadgets.com/Products/gps/detail.asp?prod=ZUMO Then scroll down the page until you see the Ram Bracket for the Garmin GXM-30. It works great. I found though that the magnet is too weak when you are on rough roads and the antenna will eventually vibrate to the side. It comes with two screws that you can secure it to the mount with. The antenna is already drilled and tapped for them. Works great.

    Eileen just called. She left early this morning and was going to drive about another hour which would put her in Springfield, MO. Her brother went with her so she isn't driving out there all alone and I'm glad about that. Ventura isn't bad but the dog is a female and I'm not sure that's a great name for a female. Any other suggestions? Do we need to hold a contest?

    Ross, The reason is because of the way the internal search engine works. What it does is that it indexes all the words in the posts. I can set it at whatever length I want but if I go too low then the search index gets HUGE. I think I have it set on 4 characters at this time. If you want to search for shorter words, click on "Search" and then at the bottom of the menu that opens, you will see a "Google" option. Enter "fan" or any other word in the Google box and then select to search "venturerider.org" and it will search for the shorter words using the Google search engine.
