Here are some interesting statistics for motorcycle production and sales. http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcycle-news/statistics/motorcycle-sales-statistics.htm

HEY....if you get all mushy I'm gonna disable these things.

I'm just curious if any of you use an online service such as ETrade, Scottrade, etc. to buy and sell stocks? I know that times are bad right now but I also think it's a GREAT time to make some money in the stock market if you invest wisely. I've never used an online service but there are a couple of stocks that I am intersted in right now.

Yes, that has happened a couple of times but it's not necessary. There is a link you can click if you forget your password and it will send a new temp password to your email address.
-
Yes, that is exactly what causes it. If somebody changes their email address, I get a message about a new member. Just a little glitch that I've just never felt was a big enough deal to figure out.

Wish I could help but though I've heard of them, I've not known anybody who wears them.

OK folks, I've added a couple of new features to the forum. Some of you may find them helpful. There was a request for a place to view the most popular threads over the past 7 days or so. If you are away from the site for a few days and want to see the most popular of what you have missed, there is now a way to do it. If you scroll to the bottom of the forum home page, there is a new section that shows the "Hottest" threads. If you click on the drop down menu that says "View More" in that section, you will get a more complete list. I have also added a new feature to the search menu. You will find a link there that will bring up your latest posts and/or threads that you started. This will make it easier to find a question that you have posted and/or a post that you have added. That's about it for me today. I'm at another hotel and the Internet service is awful. I will check out of here tomorrow morning and try to find one with better Internet.

OK...I know it is not exactly what you requested but I've added some "Advanced Stats" at the bottom of the main forum page. It shows the "hottest" threads over the past 7 days as well as the latest posts and newest members. Hopefully the "Hottest Threads" section will help.

Unfortunately, most of us had not had the pleasure of getting to know Paul yet. He was a new member having joined in January. He and member John Brendel both bought Ventures this winter and both joined our family in January. I am sad to report that Paul has recently passed away due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident. This is the email that I received from John. Please keep the friends and family of Paul Polzin in your prayers. The email that I received from John:

"Spiders" are automated scripts used by Google, Yahoo, etc. to rank you in the search engines. Googe Adsense is part of the Google search engine. They browse the site basically to see what the content is all about and use that to know what kind of ads to use in the left menu where I have the Google ads listed.

Looking forward to your review. Thanks.

I would bet that we see a similar two-wheeled scooter and then motorcycles before too long. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,506768,00.html

I mentioned a couple or so months ago that the company had changed my area around. I had lost my part of New York and they gave me Indiana instead. Then about two weeks ago, they told me that they were hiring a new guy in the Chicago area and since Indiana had once been part of that area, they were going to give it back to him. Soooo.....I canceled all my Indiana trips and decided to concentrate on Pennsylvania in March. So upon returning from PA today, I had an email telling me that they had decided to give Indiana back to me and that PA would be going back to the guy that covers Eastern PA. So....now I'm back to Indiana. That's not enough though, they also decided to take West Virginia away from me so no more West Virginia trips for me either. THEN....they gave me all of Michigan except for the Upper Peninsula. I also covered Kentucky as far west as Somerset, I now have the entire state of Kentucky. So.....I'm so confused now that I no longer know where to go. Hey...with all the news lately about folks losing jobs...I am very thankful that they are just shifting my territory around.

I had no idea how much fun the trikes can be. I know there will be two or three at Maintenance Day....maybe I can borrow one of them and try some of this stuff out. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYnP6tifNM8]YouTube - IBEX Trike built by B. Goat[/ame]

Did you ever find out what kind of synthetic oil they put in it? I always find these reports of slippage after changing to synthetic oil a bit puzzling as I've been running it for almost 10 years in two different RSVs with no problems.

OK folks...I don't usually do this because the thread IS where it should be. But this is a very good deal for those of you who need them or who may need them in the future so please check out the following thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32943

Heck....wish I could say that I'm happy for you. I am happy that you got it sold so quickly but really hate that you had to sell it. Hope you will consider still coming to maintenance day, with or without a bike, it wouldn't be the same without you.
-
WOW...that is GREAT news Sqeeze. I had no idea you were going to be here putting up tents. It will be great to meet you in person.
-
Yea, I just got home after being in the Altoona, PA area all week. 64 here right now...I am dog tired and it looks like rain at any moment but I MAY try to get a much needed ride in. It's been several months for me.

Bob, I'm sure that many members here appreciate the parts that you have made available but PLEASE use the classifieds for this purpose and NOT the forums. In the classifieds, they will eventually expire. When posted here, I sooner or later have to spend HOURS finding and deleting the such old posts to conserve space.

No argument here. The white '88 is my favorite first gen. If that color had been available when I bought my '99, I would be riding that instead of the silver.
-
Be very careful about that. I've seen several do it but I've seen several front fenders damaged because of it. The suspension can compress a lot more than you think.

I think that most of us have gone with 7.5%. That seems to put it very close. This in on the RSV but I suspect the RSTD is the same. On the RSV, the connector is under the left side cover. Very easy to install.

Heck..I used to have that site bookmarked but I can't find it now.

Used Parts question
Freebird replied to Hazenson's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Yes, I've bought a few things from Pinwall and they have always been great. I've also been to their retail store a couple of times, very impressive. All parts and parts bikes that have not yet been torn down are stored indoors.
