    Do we have to have yet another car tire thread? Some here think it's great, some think it's stupid. No reason to stir the pot at every opportunity.

    Here you go and it's very simple. Your dealer is trying to rip you off. It's about a 15 minute job after you've done it the first time. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=258

    If you entered the wrong zip code, you have to delete that cookie in your browser and then when you go back to the classifies, it will be blank and you can enter it again. You don't have to clear all your cookies if you don't want to. Just open your cookies and search for zip and it will come up. Delete it and then go back to the classifieds and you can enter it again. Unfortunately, that may not be the case. The zipcode database leaves a lot to be desired. It seems to be wrong fairly often but usually not all that bad. I find that on anything a long ways off, it is usually a couple hundred miles off. I figure they are calculating it by straight/air miles and not by roads. Don

    If you go to your ad, you will see some icons to the right of your name. There are several of them and it says "User Options". The one on the bottom left I think is "edit ad". Hold our mouse pointer over each of them and it will show what each is.

    Yes, here is a link to the whole manual. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1828

    Also, the one you are looking at will not be correct. You need one for the 1999-whenever Royal Star Venture.

    Here you go and for the record, there simply is not a better company to deal with. http://www.diamondraccessories.com/yamaha/yamahaproducts.php

    No, unfortunately I never saw it in operation. Here is a link where Webbike World reviewed it though. http://www.webbikeworld.com/heads-up-display/

    Just checked, it works for me too. It must not like you Carl.

    Yea, I didn't say that right. I'm not talking about the side burner that is used for pots and pans and etc....I read that it has an additional burner in the box area for lighting the charcoal. I've actually seen this on a number of new grills lately but may be mistaken about this one.

    I agree with most of the comments. I know that many of us, myself included, have done 700-900 miles a day from time to time. Even over a thousand. It starts taking the fun out of it though. I would certainly try to keep it under 500 miles per day.

    Yep, still works here also.

    I think Eck gave you a good starting point. I don't think the front is that important. Based upon the weights you stated, I would guess though around 40-45 in the rear.

    Cindy, My tire sits on the trailer, not on the rails. I personally think that is the way it should be.

    I don't know for sure, but from what I read online about it, it does have a sideburner that can be used to get the charcoal going.

    No, you pull it behind the mower and it vacuums the clippings, leaves, whatever. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_404568_404568

    Actually, there is already a Heads Up display unit on the market that can be added to helmets. We gave one away at the Rally in Colorado last year.

    Folks...it's OK to debate an issue but this thread is turning into nothing but personal attacks. It is possible to disagree with an idea without taking personal shots at each other. I know that several people feel very strongly about this car tire idea but if the personal attacks can't be controlled, I will have to close and/or delete this thread.

    I know that Rick Butler put the tips on his RSV. I think he somehow punched and then tapped some holes. I got lucky when I did mine. Bought a complete set of RSTD muffers off Ebay for $70.00.

    Pictures...I knew I was forgetting something. Maybe later today. I haven't really compared the Polks to the Pioneers yet. They sound great in the garage but so did the Pioneers. It's on the road that I hope to hear a difference.

    As we approach the 5,000 member mark, I think it's time that we think about a contest. How about a $100.00 gift certificate from New Enough? As you know, they contribute $1.00 per sale when one of our members buys from them and chooses VentureRider as the sponsor club. We have already given away one prize from there and we have enough in the account there now to give away another one. So.....put your thinking caps on and let's decide how to do this one.

    I know that my Verizon phone has it also. It is user selectable for on all the time or 911 only. As far as I know though, there is no website or anything where you can actually set up the tracking for individuals to monitor.

    The 10% is the minimum discount, or at least that's what Rick told me. He said that the discount could be more depending upon the item.

    I don't know what kind of problems he's having but if I remember correctly, that is the Voyager trike kit. Easy on and easy off. Really not much that it can mess up.

    If I were looking for a new bike, I would at least try to look at one of the new Triumph Rocket III tourers. Would get expensive though by the time I added the trunk and a fairing.
