    Here are some pictures from Cougar of the new Polk speakers that he installed on the rear of his RSV. He confirms that they will fit but that you have to remove the black ring that came on the stock speakers.

    I've disable this for now. I am going to try and find a way to move the text and etc. to the other side so that it doesn't make the postbit headers so large. If I can do it, I will enable it again.

    No, we went through that area on the way but the resort is further north.

    I see that you figured it out. For anybody else, there is a button at the bottom of every post...beside the "quote" button and etc. If you see a post that is especially helpful for you in any way or that you just truly enjoy, you can simply hit the "Thanks" button to thank the poster for taking the time to help. At the bottom of the thread will be a box that shows the "thanks" that you have received.

    I think that I may well have been the first Venture owner to ever install the KuryAkyn pegs on a RSV. It was way back in mid 1999. At that time, KuryAkyn had nothing for the RSV and told me that they didn't know if any of their pegs would work or not. I ran across those at a small independent motorcycle shop and they were actually for a Goldwing. I bought them and have had them on the bike ever since. I actually think that the regular clamps work just as well and maybe even better. I see no reason to use the type that I have. They are more expensive and I had to wrap a bit of tape around the bars to make them tighten up properly.

    See the following thread. Now that I see it though, I don't know if I like it. It's making our headers too big...taking up too much room. I may ... probably will....remove it unless it is really popular with the members. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=22

    OK...I found what I THINK you were talking about and added it. We will see if it works out.

    I think that most of us here do use the Kuryakyn pegs but the ones that mount to the crash bars. There is a picture of mine in this thread. Most use the same pegs but with the quickclamp mounts. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4044&highlight=4050

    Hey....it's not about the numbers...but it is fun to watch. Besides, the higher the number, the more chance of us making some very good new friends.

    Yep...this group is always willing to help a fellow or lady member. I got burned one time and it wasn't here...it wasn't even a Venture specific forum. A guy wanted to buy a stock passenger seat from an RSV. I had one and told him he could have it for the cost of shipping. He was excited and said you bet. I sent it to him and then emailed him the cost of shipping...wasn't much...and never heard from him again. You know what though, I really didn't even get mad about it. I just figured if he needed it that bad and was that broke, I was still happy to help him out. I won't let a single incident like that sour my opinion of all the great folks that we have around here.

    Eileen is a great photographer but she uses a 35mm camera and we haven't got the film developed yet. Here are a few pics that our son Dylan took with his little digital camera though. As you can see, Eileen and I found the fireplace at the lodge to be a great place to hang out. The first picture is of Round Lake shot through the screened window of our cabin.

    I've had my Odyssey battery for 4 years now and have kept it on the Battery Tender pretty much the entire time I'm not riding it. All is well so far. They have changed the style just a bit but I think this is the model that I have. http://www.motorcyclebatteriesusa.com/battery-chargers-details.asp?battery=91

    Pretty good story. 77 Year old man, still riding, closing in on 1.5 million miles. http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/search.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2008-01-06-0052.html

    Here is a URL that was sent to me by one of our members. I have spent some time there before and many of you may have also but if not and you are interested in classic bikes, there is some good stuff. http://www.dropbears.com/bikelinks/Classic_Motorcycles/

    You know, I have no idea how many members here are also members of the Venturers or any other site. I don't know who is more active here or more active there. I don't know who is more loyal to one or the other. I also don't care about any of the above. There will always be those who have strong loyalties to one group or another and others who have loyalties to none and are just seeking tips and information about the bikes. All are welcome to participate here, join in at our meets, rallies, rides, etc. The main reason that I started this site as a FREE site was to not cause people to have to choose where to spend their money. I know that the dues charged by most clubs are not that much but some folks are better off financially than others and what may seem like very little money to some, may be too much for others. By being free, we do not force anybody to drop their membership in one organization to participate in this one. All are welcome. You are correct Curt, you and I will likely not ever see eye to eye on every single issue but there is nothing wrong with that. I have no ill feelings towards you and would ride with you any time. There are a lot of us here and I don't always see eye to eye with anybody. I don't have many moderators here but I think they are very good ones. I don't always see eye to eye with them either. That is partially why they were asked to be moderators. I don't always try to surround myself with people that I see eye to eye with. Sometimes you need that balance that comes from people with different ways of viewing things. In spite of those different views, I still respect them and consider them good friends. So, this is a good way to start off the year and I thank you for your post. I wish you and all the Venture members a safe and prosperous new year.

    The bike looks FANTASTIC. Wouldn't mind having one exactly like it. I know that it's a bit out of your way but if you get near Ohio on your trip, you always have a place to stay.

    I'm not sure what you mean. There is a link to the buddy list that opens it up in a window.

    I was cleaning up the classifieds a little and sent some emails to some folks with older ads. I received the following response from Toolman. I don't know what all he has left but if you are looking for something, you might want to shoot him an email. Please have members contact me again. I now have been sick for a while and feeling better now. Whatever parts I have for the venture with the exception of the polished parts will be sold very cheap or given away for the cost of shipping and a little handling fee. I would like to see someone use these parts before I put them in the dumpster. Regards Toolman the__toolman@hotmail.com

    Yes, had a decent covering of snow when we got home but rain last night took care of that.
