    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?

    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.

    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.

    I haven't tested the forum with Netscape in a LONG time. Don't have it loaded. I usually test the functions with IE and Firefox...both seem to work as designed.

    Ruffy Ruffy Ruffy....I am starting to worry about you my friend. YOU need to go back and look at the calendar photo again.

    I'm not sure how you are doing it. I thought I had it setup so you could only upload one image. I used a graphics program to combine both maps into one image.

    No, there is no mobile version at this time. It would be possible but a LOT of re-programming I would have to do. I will give it some thought but please don't expect anything immediately.

    I used to have one at the bottom but I guess it got lost during some upgrade. I'll take a look at it again. There is a "forum jump" menu at the bottom right of every page but it may be more trouble than scrolling back to the top.

    No there is not. I programmed a modification to do that at one time but then hated it. People can pick some of the strangest and hard to read fonts. I find the forum much easier to read it most folks just stick with the default font. If you wish to use another one, that is fine but you're gonna have to work for it.

    Folks, here is the info for any of you who wish to make a donation in Darrell's name. RE; Donations to London Regional Cancer Center Cheques are to be made payable to; LHSF - Cancer Program And sent to; London Health Science Foundation 747 Baseline Road East London, Ontario, Canada N6C 2R6 I might suggest that a notation on the cheque be made. Something like In Memory of Darrell Steuer.

    I sure plan to be there. Reservations are made. I look forward to it also. Your bell will be in the mail today.

    Wayne, There are a number of ways to ban a person and I use them all. I had posted here about some of those options but was reminded by a caring member that it may be best to not reveal everything. I think he is right. AmnChode, Hi back.

    I tell you, that little John Deere and blower are doing a fantastic job. I've very pleased with it.
  22. Freebird
    I haven't heard of it happening before but could have been a bad casting. PM me your address and I'll send you a new one.
  23. Freebird
    He was the ONE person that I mentioned earlier that has been banned. He has been banned again. He may get on again and if so, he will be banned again.
  24. Freebird
    Yes, I've done it. I left my key and lights on once when we stopped for lunch. I put it in second gear and got a little push from my riding partner and it fired right up. No problem.

    OK folks...I honestly don't know how else to say it. I've put it in the site information, I've pleaded and begged, I've always tried very hard to be nice in the way that I request things of you. I honestly don't ask for much but one thing that I have ALWAYS requested is that we refrain from political discussion here. Some folks just don't seem to get it though. In the 4 1/2 years that this site has existed, I think there has been ONE single member banned. OK...there have been some spammers banned but I'm talking about legit members. Most of you have been very respectful of the very few rules that we have here. There are however a small handful of members who just can't resist making a political statement anytime the slightest opportunity presents itself. It might be in response to a joke, a casual post, whatever but they just have to do it. Some seem to think that they are so smart and witty that the political implications of their post will fly under the radar. Let me assure you, it doesn't happen. I read every single post made to this site and in fact, I have it set up so that ever single post is emailed to me. I can promise you that I watch these things. I try very hard to be fair and I often let things go until I see a war starting to break out but have become less tolerant as time goes on. So, there have been plenty of warnings, nice requests, begging and pleading. I simply cannot continue to allow a handful of folks to continue to push the envelope every chance they get. You are all intelligent people and you KNOW when you are doing it. Don't send me emails or PMs asking if I am talking about you. You KNOW if I am or not. As much as I despise the thought, I'm not going to continue having to dance around just a few people. Those who continue to abuse our few simple rules are subject to being banned from the site with no further warning. This may seem extreme but if it happens, you have caused it to happen. This applies to everybody, regardless of their political affiliations. If you are Democrat, Independent, Republican, conservative, libertal, whatever...this is not the site for it. This includes not only posts on the forum and profile pages but also avatars, signatures, etc. The only other major thing here is that the site is PG rated. I know that there is a big difference between PG rated and G rated. I'm not trying to make this the Disney Channel but some have gotten a bit lax in their language and jokes. Please help me to get these things back under control. You are the greatest group I've ever had the pleasure of being associated with. This message applies to VERY few of you.
