    You are right, I just confirmed that problem. I tell you though, I am BEAT now and need to get some sleep. I'll try to take a look at it tomorrow night. Thanks for letting me know.

    It may be the voice that you have selected. I use "Jill". I've found that some of the others don't announce the street names.

    I was made aware that the link to request a VR Award was not working. I found that if you used the link in the left menu, it worked OK but if you used the link in the menu bar at the top, it would not allow you to request and award. I have now resolved that problem. Thanks to all for the heads up.

    Got it an thanks.

    Got it. You probably paid after I had gone through the first few members and then realized they weren't getting automatically swapped to the new group. I expected a few of those to happen. Thanks for letting me know.

    All done now. See this thread for the latest information. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37168

    I used to do that but just haven't in a while. I actually hung a small come a long from the ceiling to lift the trailer.

    Yea, my son and wife both have that one and really like it. Don't know what I'll get next time. My time is about up if I want to trade. Using an LG Venus now and it's been..still is...fine.

    and...just WHAT is wrong with having only one eye? You just CAN'T stay out of trouble can you. Yep, that's exactly what happened. You are good now though. Yes, by all means please do so. Most of us put our bike year and model in the user title spot.
  10. Freebird
    and yours SHOULD have already been there. It is now.
  11. Freebird
    DUH....yours is already there.

    You were only 5 names away. I just did 25 more before leaving to work so you are good now. Folks, I am through tg in the alphabet. That's about half way through the Ts. If your username is A-S...then you should be marked "supporting member". If that is the case, send me a PM so that I can go back and check.

    OK folks, I'm finally getting close to having all the supporting members moved to the supporting members group. I think I like about 150 more and should be able to finish it tomorrow night. Once that is done, I will post that everybody should show supporting member in their UserCP and/or below there name beside any of their posts. I will announce when I am done and then folks a couple of days to let me know if I missed anybody. After that, I will start making changes to the registered users permissions. Remember, you will need to be a supporting member if you want to continue posting in the forum. There will also be some, maybe all, areas of the forum that you must be a supporting member to read. If you have been procrastinating as to whether or not to join, I hope you do so. $12.00 per year...I think that is affordable to most anybody.

    Folks, it is my pleasure to announce that Diamond R Accessories will be attending and setting up a booth at the VentureRider Rally in Marble Falls. Allen and Patty have been generous supporters of VentureRider.org since I started the club and it will be a real pleasure to have them at our rally. They will be bringing a nice selection of accessories for our bikes so if there is anything you have been thinking about adding, it will be a great time to do so.

    Looks like a lot of fun. You should have brought it to Maintenance Day...would could have synced the carbs.

    I know that Bushtec sells one. Not sure what it costs but it's not cheap. I think around $60.00 or so.
  17. Freebird
    You'll be in my thoughts and prayers today. It's all OK from this point on. You'll feel better and when you are fully recovered, that new bike will be repaired and ready to go. Brighter days await you my friend.

    Great job on the bike and I'm glad that others agreed. As for the models, I can look but I can't touch. My wife won't even let me date....she is VERY narrow minded about that.

    Monty, Tell him to keep his chin up. Things may look bleak right now but it doesn't have to stay that way. Many of us have been through divorces and it's a tough time but he will get through it. I'm really glad to hear that he is OK. Could have been much worse and though the bike may be trashed, at least he isn't. That is a HUGE thing.

    Got the server timed out issue resolved. One of my account required SSL to be checked. It works fine now. The only other little thing is the general layout. I wish I could get rid of the folder list at the upper right and just have a drop down menu for the folders as in Outlook Express. That's a small issue though. I'll get used to it.
  21. Freebird
    Well, I'm trying Thunderbird now also. It seems to work just fine but I honestly think I like Outlook Express better. I like the layout better in Outlook Express and it also seems to connect and start downloading faster. I have about 5 accounts that I check at one time and with Thunderbird, one of them gives me a server timed out message unless I keep it set at about 60 seconds before timeout. Outlook Express connects and downloads to that account almost immediately. Still playing with it and maybe will get used to it.

    If they are blown, you are probably getting some buzzing so new speakers would be a big improvement. I honestly believe though that when going down the road, most of the sound you hear is from the front speakers. The Polks are about as good as any in my opinion. I'm not real happy with any that I've tried. They simple need to be BIGGER but there is no room for bigger ones.

    If you go to your UserCP, you can select your favorite smilies and they will be the ones that always show in the smiley box.

    Hopefully somebody else will chime in here because I've never done it. I've seen several reports though from people who said they had to pull the mufflers off the bike and use a wooden dowel rod or something through the inlet end and a hammer to pound them off. Like I said, hopefully somebody else will chime in and help. By the way, I'm moving this thread to the second gen tech talk area where it will likely get seen better.

    Yea....the truth is....all the ladies were very likely guilty. That's just the way they are....GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY.
