    Are you absolutely SURE that you didn't somehow switch it to headsets?

    That is just exactly what I was getting ready to say. I have a 17,000 KW propane fired generator with an auto transfer switch. I would sure not want to run it for very long though. It would quickly run through my bank account.

    You can get a $3.00 discount by printing out the coupon from the Progressive Insurance site. http://motorcycle.progressive.com/IMS-Admission-Discount-Coupon.pdf

    There are some good deals out there. You should be able to pick up a pretty decent computer for not a lot of money. I don't even have a desktop setup any longer. I use a laptop for everything I do. Have wireless setup in the house and can computer anywhere I want to. As for the Mac systems? I know that some folks swear by them but they are just not for me. I bought into all the hype and bought one a few years ago and absolutely hated it. It turned out to be just an ugly paperweight for me. I also don't have the animosity towards Microsoft that many seem to have. I started out long ago running MSDOS and finally moved to Windows at version 3 I think. There were some back versions but once I got to Windows NT, 2000 and then later XP, I have been very pleased. Millennium was a joke and I never installed it. I've also never gone to Vista but am still happy with XP.

    I don't know Buddy....that sounds like all I get with the advanced. I'm going to have to look into it further.

    I'll admit that I had a bit of fun writing that one. As for the Harley site being "For Sale"....actually I'm just hoping to find somebody to take it over and give it the attention that it deserves. I'm under no illusions that it's worth a lot of money.

    Well, I did leave a re-direct there for a day or two. PLUS...if you are REALLY concerned, you could send him a PM and let him know where it is.

    Geeezzzz guys....did I word it wrong?

    Folks, it has come time for me to simplify my life. I have too much going on to continue trying to run a site that I simply have no interest in. So, this website is for sale! NO...not VentureRider.org I said THIS website. That would be: http://www.touringhogs.com I started it when I was seriously considering buying a Harley but as you know, I never did that and there is a good chance that I never will. Therefore, I have just let the TouringHogs site just sit then and stagnate. I honestly believe that it has a lot of potential if somebody would put the time into it that I have put into VentureRider.org. So, if you know any Harley riders and/or businesses that might be interested, I'll be entertaining offers over the next 3 or 4 weeks.

    OK....I'm not 100% sure but I THINK Harley starting putting the catalytic converters on their bikes in 2006. Most here who have done this mod went with the Road King mufflers. Stock take-offs can be had cheap if you look around. Any aftermarket or SE models should also work but probably more money. Several here have bought the catalytic converter ones and removed the cats but it's easy enough to find unused ones before the year they were added. You will need to make or buy a simple mounting bracket and a couple of clamps. Don

    If any of you have a really good picture of Darrell, I could sure use it for the memorial page. Thanks for your help.

    Sorry about the scare folks. I've had a bit of trouble with the server over the past few days. About 4 times a day, I get an email letting me know that the CPU usage is high. I login and it all looks normal, no problems that I can find. I was working with our host company this morning and they were tweaking the MYSQL settings to try and find the problem. Apparently we tweaked when we should have twacked or some technical term like that. Anyway, things are restored and back to normal for now. Just have to see if I continue to get the high CPU usage error.

    WOW...didn't even know that existed. Looks nice but I would sure want to hear it before spending that kind of money. You are still relying on the 4" speakers to get the sound out and I'm just not sure that you can get $500.00 worth of improvement out of any 4 way speakers.

    Radio, NavTraffic and NavWeather are $19.95 per month. I'm just not sure the weather is worth it because I don't know what comes with the basic weather. What I get it current conditions, about a 5 day or so forecast and a weather map that shows trouble spots within a certain distance.
  15. Freebird
    OK folks, when I activated my Zumo XM, I went with the traffic and the weather package. I understand though that basic weather comes with the traffic. So what is the difference between basic weather and the full blown one that I subscribed to? I paid for 3 months but may want to drop the advanced weather next time.

    That's a good question. I know that we have at least a couple and hopefully they will see this post and join in. My wife has owned and ridden her own but really didn't like it that much. She likes riding around the area here but not the longer trips. She doesn't own one at this time. Nice bike by the way.

    I moved this thread here to the First Gen tech talk area.

    Haven't heard of anybody doing it. Do you have a link to the system?
  19. Freebird
    Sounds GREAT. I would love to do something like that. I've very happy for you and now maybe you can get them to do a story on VentureRider.

    Sleeping is way overrated.

    What? What did I say? OK....maybe I was out of line....so PUNISH ME... I am ready to take my punishment.

    I've got my W2s but just haven't gotten around to it yet. The worse for me was a few years ago when I was self employed for a year. I THOUGHT I was paying enough but apparently not. When I did my taxes, I found that I owed another $14,000.00. OUCH...almost had a heart attack.

    Don't worry about turning into a pumpkin. Based upon the VentureRider Women calendar that Beer30 posted, you will fit right in.

    It was only about 6 weeks ago that I tried it again. No better here.

    I have an LG and it works fine for calls. I don't use it for Internet as I have my laptop with me most of the time. I may have considered an IPhone if they weren't exclusive with AT&T. I use Verizon and it gives me the best coverage in the areas that I travel. My company would love for me to switch because our corporate plan is with AT&T but I tried it 6 years ago when I started with this company and couldn't even get a consistent signal at my house. They sent me another one to try in December and though it works a bit better, still very weak and drops calls. I'll stick with Verizon.
