    I would if it was for me. Mr. Copus already has a LOT of money in the '89 and is needing something cheap.

    Eileen and I had a very nice ride today. Did the Cherahola/Dragon loop. Left Helen and took headed to Robbinsville. Did the Dragon and got rained on pretty heavily but still had a nice time. The took 129 to 72 and that across to 411. 411 to 360 and then 165 all the way back to 129. Got back to Helen about 8:00 this evening. Took a few side trips also and ended up doing a total of a little over 300 miles. Wish I knew how many curves we actually went through today.

    NEW? I don't remember. I looked them up and almost had a heart attack. I'm thinking $125.00 each or so. That's why I'm trying to find a decent used one for the right side.

    I guess it's time for a reminder folks. I'm amazed at the number of political threads started lately and also some of the jokes that are crossing the line of our PG rating here. I'm not going to give a big speech here. There are plenty of threads where I have done so. I'm just going to ask that you PLEASE think about what you are posting before you post it. It's really simple. No political discussion here and the jokes should be no worse than PG rated. Thanks, Don

    I have an '89 Venture Royale listed in the classifieds that belongs to a man who lives near me. He tells me that it needs the right side panel louvers and asked me to try and find some for him. If any of you have them for sale, please send me a PM with your price. Thanks

    It was Mark's. Here is the link. I don't think he shows them but I know he makes and sells them. http://markspipe.com/index.htm

    Thanks for all the replies. I agree now that it is obviously a scam. I did not respond and have deleted. I don't care if somebody registers the name with some asian extension. Let them have it.

    I hate to hear it. I know the pain and frustration such things can cause. We were hacked here a couple of times and it can take many late nights to get things fixed again. Just tried to go there and it was blocked for me also.

    I will research this when I have more time but have any of you system admins seen this before? I feel that they are probably going to try and soak me for money but this one is new to me. Here is what I received. Dear Manager: We are a Domain Name registration service company, which is a professional Internet Domain Name Registration and dispute resolution organization in China. On August.10th,2009, We received HAITONG Investment company's application that they are registering the name "venturerider" as their Internet Keyword and "venturerider.cn"、"venturerider.com.cn" 、"venturerider.asia"domain names etc..,It is China and ASIA domain names.But after auditing we found the brand name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar in China, it is our duty to notice you, so I am sending you this Email to check.According to the principle in China,your company is the owner of the trademark,In our auditing time we can keep the domain names safe for you firstly, but our audit period is limited, if you object the third party application these domain names and need to protect the brand in china and Asia by yourself, please let the responsible officer contact us as soon as possible.

    Eck, I just now saw this. We actually stayed just outside of Huntsville in Streetsboro or something like that. Sorry I missed you.

    Almost anyway. We stayed in Cornelia last night but are going to be in Helen for the next couple of night before checking in to the cabin on Wednesday. We haven't gotten rained on at all but it has sure been hot. For some reason, I can't check my email from this hotel. Internet is working and I can get my email from venturerider.org but they seem to have the entire Verizon network blocked and I can't access my email through Thunderbird and even the Webmail page won't open. So...I wasn't able to check my email of all the posts for the past day and can't get any email that you may have sent. Hopefully it will work from the hotel in Helen. This is the first time I've been able to get online and have my email not work. Looking forward to seeing you all.

    James will be missed by the VentureRider family. I don't know how long he was a member but it was well before the crash when we had to start all over. His humor and words of wisdom will be missed by all. Godspeed our friend and our prayers to all the family and friends.
  13. Freebird
    Yea, it was neat to see another member en-route. We ended up staying now too far from there. Got within about 20 minutes of our hotel though and came upon a 5 car accident. Ended up sitting in traffic for about 30-45 minutes.

    Glad you aren't talking about ME. Mine is NOT GREEN.

    OH YEA... I forgot to ban Rindercilla.

    Eileen and I had a great time. Bill and crew just did a fantastic job putting this all together. The location was perfect, the hosts at the hub were great, couldn't have asked for anything more expect maybe some cooler temps. Since my radiation and etc., I just don't have all my energy back yet so we turned in early every night and I regret that but it was a great time. Eileen and I took it easy yesterday. Ended up only doing about 300 miles and stopped just east of Memphis. Will do 300 or so miles again today and stay east of Huntsville, AL a ways and then get down near Vogel tomorrow. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I don't know how to explain the way I feel when I'm around you folks. Some have said that I should feel proud of the organization that I have built here but it isn't really pride that I feel. I actually feel humble that so many of you have made VentureRider a part of your life. I am honored that you have done so. When I try to tell outsiders what a great group of folks we have, the words are never adequate. So....I guess I'll just say THANK YOU to each and every one of you.

    I called you TRAILER BOY? ME? Why...I would NEVER.
  18. Freebird
    Yes, you are marked paid. Thanks.

    Here's one example that I ran across. I've never seen anything else about it though. http://www.rtukltd.com/air-conditioned-helmets.html
  21. Freebird
    I too think it would be difficult to do but it is an interesting idea. At one time, there was a helmet on the market with some sort of cooling system in it but I've not seen anything about it in a long time.

    It can wait but I wouldn't take it to the shop. You can buy the tool to do it yourself for less than they will charge you and you will KNOW it's right when you are done. Way too many dealers seem to not be able to sync the cards. I don't understand that because it's very simple but I've seen way too many that just didn't even get them close.

    Wind Noise

    Freebird replied to Larry M's topic in Watering Hole

    No, they are not VOX. You use the cb push to talk button to turn the mics on or off. The passenger push to talk button will also toggle them. You just momentarily push either button to turn the mics off and push it again to turn them back on. It's AMAZING how much quieter things are with the mics off. I'm telling you, they are a must have for these bikes. Here is a link. http://mic-mutes.com/

    Juggler, Just my opinion but I wouldn't change them unless one goes bad. These coils can last forever or fail at any time. Replacing them won't do a thing to change those odds. I've had one fail but it may never happen again.

    We could have easily made it tonight but already had reservations. We are at a hotel in Ozark, MO..only about 69 miles away. Got here early really. Stopped by the big Bass Pro shop and walked around for a hour or so. Will see you all tomorrow.
