I think you'll find the tips to be VERY expensive from a dealer. If you watch, you can sometimes find a like new set of mufflers on Ebay. I bought a set off a new RSTD for $50.00 complete with tips.

I had a Shadow Ace that I really liked. I don't remember for sure but I THINK it was a '95 model. They were a bit underpowered but it did what I needed it to. I had it equipped with Leatherlike bags, Memphis Fats shield, Mustang seat and Cobra pipes. I wish I still had it for those short local rides.

I don't think that this will affect many of us but we do have some corporate types here so it never hurts to put it out there. Eck sent this to me and it sounds like a pretty bad one. http://www.dailytech.com/New+Rampant+Windows+Worm+Seizes+8+Million+Business+PCs+in+a+Week/article13981.htm

HEY...you are RIGHT. I think it needs to be plowed.

I've got one exactly like that sitting in my garage. It works OK. My garage is not insulated but it takes the chill off.

I solved my snow removal problems today. Ran across what I THINK was a great deal on an older John Deere 110. This is a early 70's model and came with a mowing deck, snowblower, chains and weights. The 70 year old man that I bought it from bought it brand new and still had the original owner's manuals and etc. Got it home and immediately plowed my 400 ft. drive and it did a fantastic job. It's only a 36" wide blower but only took me about 4 passes and maybe 15 or 20 minutes total. He really took great care of it.

Done. No problem.

I've added new link to the "Links" page. There is also a link at the bottom right of our home page. It is http://www.mtariders.com

No, it you plug into the aux port, the CB and Intercom still works as it should.

Any problems with luggage racks?
Freebird replied to Murphster's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I've had mine on the bike since 1999. No problems at all so far. On trips, I have a decent sized overnight back that I put on it. Not very heavy, maybe 10-15 lbs. I do have the Yamaha rack which has some long chromed metal strips which helps distribute the weight instead of it all being at the mounting points. -
Well, I could hide ALL the post counts but it's just not worth the trouble.

JT, You will continue to be in my prayers. I know it will take time. 34 years is a long time and I would be worried about you if you felt any other way at this time. Cherish those memories and know that we are always here for you. Don

Yep, it should work fine. As long as it has an audio out jack. My wife bought me a new TomTom Rider 2 for Christmas and it had no audio out jack, Bluetooth only. I returned it because of that.

I've got a very wide range of music on mine but mostly like the softer rock and "unplugged" stuff. A few of mine are: Skynyrd "FREEBIRD". Bob Seger Beth Hart Neil Young Unplugged Bob Dylan Dido Lobo Poco Eagles Eric Clapton Unplugged Joe Cocker Sade Sarah McLachlan ZZ Top Toni Braxton Savoy Brown James Brown on the country side Patsy Cline Willie Nelson Toby Keith Randy Travis Montgomery Gentry George Strait Brooks and Dunn The Bellamy Brothers A lot of others too but this gives you an idea of the generation I am from.

We have propane and I would love to find a cheaper alternative. I honestly don't see the savings with the Kerosene heaters though. I have one in the garage that I use to take a bit of the chill off when I HAVE to work out there. It's only 10,000 BTU. It will run about 20 hours on a gallon of fuel. At $4.00 per gallon, that would be $120.00 per month for that ONE heater. It would take at least 3 of them to heat our house and I don't think that even that would be enough. So that is at LEAST $360.00 per month worth of Kerosene.

Passing lamp install
Freebird replied to Colonel's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Mine came with that switch also. I installed them myself and also put it beside the accessory outlet. That is where the instructions recommended it be installed. I didn't like the switch that came with it and used a lighted rocker switch instead. I heard that at some point, Yamaha started putting them on the lights but don't know when it was or if they still do it that way. -
Yea, I know. That's why I hid them. Don't want to advertise how pathetic I am.

I would prefer to add only fairly major or annual events to the countdown page. It requires a good bit of custom programming and is time consuming. I do recommend though that any events be posted in the Meet and Eats forum. They get lost in a hurry in the watering hole. Of course they should be put on the calendar also.

What post counts?

Now I don't know WHAT you are talking about....now shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Yes, what he said. Take the pictures as you have been. Then the quality will be great if you want to print them out or something. Then just resize them using your computer before uploading them here.

You know....there was a special segment on CNN a couple of nights ago where some well known and highly regarded scientists were talking about the growing belief in the scientific community that the natural cyclic warming trend is coming to an end and some are predicting that we are actually in the beginning stages now of a new ice age.

My link is at up higher in this same thread. Buddy, I only have the one XM so didn't get the discount for a second radio. I went with the music and Navtraffic package but also with another weather package that cost a bit more. Maybe I don't need it, I may cancel it later. Probably the basic that comes with Navtraffic is enough.
