    He mentioned last summer when we were there that they had been asked to move it in with another museum. If I remember correctly, it was the Barber Museum in Birmingham, AL. I may be wrong about that.

    Sad news. Sounds like somebody that I would liked to have known better. Does anybody have a good picture of Mike? I would like to add it to our "memorials" page. He has some nice picture of his bike in the pic gallery but no picture of himself.

    Yes, it's nice that somebody finally did it. I had always intended to but was having problems figuring out why my mileage had dropped so bad before I even added the rear end. I knew that it hadn't hurt my mileage and based upon running a tank of gas through mine on the freeway in 4th gear before changing the rear ends, I think that in some instances, like when pulling a trailer, the mileage may actually improve.

    Well, seeing the lights dim is pretty common on these bikes so I wouldn't worry about that too much. As for the front horn not working, first of all, these horns are really not very good to start with. You would be far better off with a set of aftermarket horns. The Stebel horns seem to be the choice of members here but I have a set of Fiams mounted in the fairing and they are MUCH louder than stock. If you still want to mess with the stock horn, you will need to pull the lower to get to it. There should be a small screw on the back of the horn. It is probably tightened down too far not allowing the plate to vibrate. Screw it in and out until you get the sound and volume maxed out.

    Yea, the advertising is not what I signed up for. BVinson is right though. After listening to Sirius for a couple of days now, they are pretty much the same as XM in that regard. They may not call it advertising but in my opinion, that's exactly what it is. Too much talk and etc. Heck...I don't want to hear any DJs at all. Just play the music and shut up.

    Not only was she illegal but she had been stopped and cited for driving without a license about a year ago and then released instead of being deported. No license, no insurance, illegal....just cited and released. Something is wrong with this picture.

    I haven't tried but I think I could work this one with gloves. At least the channels and etc. It has a knob to scroll between the different categories and then you just push it to select a channel. This is the Sportster 5.

    I agree with you 100%. Takes a couple of rides to get used to the sound of the 500 RPM increase but makes for a MUCH better performing bike. I love it.

    Not looking good for here either. Most of what we had melted off today but they are predicting snow off and on all week.

    Have you been to the Corvette museum before? I was there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. They have a good short movie there on the history of the Corvette.

    Nice picture...man....it has GOT to warm up around here. I need to RIDE.

    This was sent to me by McBrush. Good article...makes me want to go back and spend more time on it and less on the Dragon. http://www.ohio.com/lifestyle/15917027.html

    Good looking trailer. Heck...you are ALMOST close enough for me to borrow it. Just kidding, I have my open trailer that works for the little that I use it.

    Just happened upon this. I'm off to Pittsburgh this week and was looking at Craigslist to see if there was anything interesting to look at while I am there. Ran across this ad. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/584470896.html

    A favor to ask, it only takes a minute.... * I * 6*Y Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

    It will be fine. That's what I've used in mine for several years.

    I never knew her but just looked at her site and she's not too far from me here in Ohio. Next time I'm down that way, I may just stop by. The best thing would be to find somebody who is willing to do this and ship to our members as they order. Running this site the way I do, I really can't afford to stock an inventory and hate it when people have to wait until we have enough inquiries to place an order. Same thing with the shirts. If we could find a vendor that was willing to make up a selection and keep them stocked for us, that would be great. I don't know if such a thing exists though.

    They are very similar but certainly not the same. Diamond R does manufacture their own.

    I don't know what the current rating is for the starter button but I would sure find out before going down that path.

    I've used wingnuts for years. They work OK but you need to use a lock washer and then just snug them down and they will stay. That being said, a lot of folks don't use any nuts at all. It's not going anywhere.

    Here you go. Will be one of the smartest purchases you ever make. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/69/cat/7

    We are getting hung up on words and definitions. The Venture does indeed us an alternator. Alternators and Generators BOTH use stators. Call it what you want, it doesn't matter. The words are often used interchangeably by many people. Yamaha probably uses the word "generator" because that's the word that many people relate to and understand. The fact here is that you want to get more power out of whatever we call it. Buckeye is the only one at this time to offer a solution.

    Gene, I got your message but deleted it. I thought the number would be stored in my phones incoming call memory but for some reason, it's not. So please PM me your number again.

    It's $499.00 now. Think I'll hold off.

    I don't change tracks. I put it on "random" and let it go.
