    No WAY is that me. I've NEVER done that....I mean...allowed myself to be caught on video.

    Actually, I had him working on some things for a new venturerider shirt some time ago. I kind of let it fall through the cracks though and need to pick it up again. Here are some preliminary sketches that he had done for me.

    My fault...I should have looked a the name of the city closer when he emailed me. Sorry about that.

    I may have typed it wrong.

    You don't have to buy songs. I've used my standard IPOD for several years and have over 100 complete CDs on it. I just copied my CDs to the Ipod. I've probably not bought over a half dozen songs from Itunes.

    Well I'm certainly not looking for a first gen but if I were....the white '88 would be the one.

    OK folks, I am looking for help/suggestions here. As most of you know, Darrell Steuer (Maddabber) was the winner of the Bushtec trailer at this years VentureRider International Rally. Most of you also know that Darrell is dealing with some serious health issues at this time and I hope you are all praying for him. Last week, I drove down to Jacksboro, TN to the Bushtec factory and picked up his trailer for him and now have it at my house here in Oberlin, OH. I told Darrell that I would store it for him until he is able to get it and I have absolutely no problem doing that but it would be great if we could get it to him. So, do we have enough members between here and London, Ontario, Canada to pull this off? I also need information on getting it across the border. All the paperwork for the trailer was mailed to Darrell and I'm sure he will send it to us if we need it but what do we need and what is it going to cost to get it across the border? Your suggestions are welcome and needed. Thanks.

    I don't think that is the pond monster...but I just loaded up the Stevens 311 double barrel JUST in case. It better not come NEAR the house.

    I think you would pretty much just have to watch and/or let the dealer know that you plan to check the date codes and they had better no be old. The tires that I got from SWMOTO were fresh also. I'll be watching in the future on my cars though.

    Not only is it a very rare color for the year...it's also a very rare 1600 CC Venture.

    Pegscraper, It is pretty much confirmation of what we have discussed here many times. The fact that a LOT of tire retailers are selling tires that have set on the shelves for a long time. The investigators found some that had been sitting in stores for up to 12 years but still being sold as new and safe. They found them at Sears, Walmart, Goodyear...pretty much everywhere that sells tires. These companies are doing nothing illegal as there are no expiration dates on tires and no laws to prevent these old tires from being sold. This particular report was on car and truck tires but we know that the same problem exists with our motorcycle tires.

    I did email the seller and got a response back from him. He told me that he works for a Yamaha dealer in Northrop, CO and that I could call to confirm. He also admitted that he typed the wrong year number. I feel a bit better about it now.

    This is probably nothing and I don't want to overreact but feel it is better to be safe than sorry. There was a new ad posted in our classifieds this evening. Here is the link: http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=1567 I just want to urge everybody to be cautious. This is a member that just joined today and it was apparently just to post his ad because he hasn't posted anything else. He says that he works for a Yamaha dealer and probably does but I'm just a tiny bit suspicious because he doesn't know the year model of the bike he is listing. He says it is an '89 but Yamaha only offered that color in 1988. Not saying anything except to beware and verify carefully if you are interested in the bike.

    I think it's a sharp looking bike. It might develop a following.

    That's a beautiful song Bobbie. My wife would break down if I showed it to her. As you know, here sister passed away a couple of years ago and that song and the movie "Beaches" were their favorites. It is really hard for her to hear now.
  16. Freebird
    Gary, the two of you look good together. I'm really happy to see that you are enjoying life again. I hope we get to meet her at Maintenance Day. Your parking spot is reserved.
  17. Freebird
    WOW.....maybe the best rendition I've ever heard of one of the greatest songs of all time.
  18. Freebird
    Yes, it is called Revolution Money and seems to be just fine. The problem is, it really hasn't seemed to have caught on and very few sites accept it.

    I love PayPal. Much safer than giving our your credit card info all over the Internet. Also, there have been a couple of times when PayPal saved me from a bad seller. Once to the tune of close to $3,000.00.

    I agree and I think there is some attitude here that is misplaced. Geeezzz......the job postings are appreciated by many I'm sure but many times such threads lead to various input. I'm thinking it's going to be a LONG winter.
  21. Freebird
    I would be happy to add it. I just need all the info.

    Here is a countdown timer for you. http://www.venturerider.org/rally/

    Mine is the tall/wide. About 2" taller than stock. I think it I had it to do over though, I would go stock height but I like the wider shield.
  24. Freebird
    Yes, I'm running one on my bike now. It seems to be an excellent shield. No distortion and very scratch resistant. To be honest, I've only put about 300 miles on it but am very pleased so far.

    I've been on a few poker runs and they are always fun. I have no problem with it.
