    oh...I'm sorry.....did I say that out loud?

    Very nice bike but I DO think it is a repaint. If so, it appears that they did a very nice job though.

    They are a bit of a tight fit to put on but mine worked well once I DID get it on. Here is the article that I wrote for the tech library about it and there is also a link there to the kit at Dennis Kirk. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=497

    Well....I think the article said that the conversion was about 11,000 euro...that would be USD $16,245.27. They need not hurry on my account.

    Interesting story. I KNOW it's not necessary...but I would sure like to ride it. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycles/triumph-rocket-3-turbo/index.htm

    I merged the two duplicate threads.

    Yea, our cable here is terrible and very limited. I know it doesn't help you because I don't think it's available in Canada but I ended up going with Dish Network a couple of years ago and have been SO much happier. I don't get my Internet through them but TV is much better.

    Just wait until you are trying to maintain a site such as THIS ONE. When we crashed a little over a year ago, I was on a business trip. At about the same time as we crashed, the Internet went down at the hotel. I ended up sitting in the parking lot of another hotel from about midnight until almost 5:00 AM rebuilding the site and getting it back up.

    The chat room is back now. Sorry about that. Something about them expecting us to PAY. I spoke to them via their online "Live Support" this morning. She told me that they normally send out at least 10 reminders before turning it off but I never got one. I do have access to an online customer account portal but hadn't checked it. Anyway, I pay this for 3 months at a time so we are good to go unless I forget again in 3 months.

    Charlie...I think you are getting senile. You posted this same thing last year. OK...here's my take on it. I can remember when I was a kid. Living in Texas with on a hot and muggy night about 95 degrees with the old swamp cooler running adding even more humidity and that dead fish odor to the house while I laid in bed sweating and trying to sleep. I later moved on with the times and we got air conditions and slept nice and cool with little humidity. I could have stuck with the old ways but I moved ahead because I COULD and was more comfortable. I can remember taking family trips in old cars. 105 degrees outside. No air conditioning, now power steering, AM radio that would only get a couple of decent channels. Later moved up to nicer cars with A/C, power steering, AM/FM/Tape and later CD and etc. Must more comfortable. I could have stuck with the hot old beater but I moved ahead because I COULD and was more comfortable. I can remember putting many miles on various motorcycles. Mostly with no windshields, no backrest, no music of any kind, no trunks or saddle bags. Just tied what I had to on it and went. Still had a great time. I was later able to upgrade to a new bike. One with cruise control, backrest, saddle bags and trunk, music, and even pull a trailer when it allows me to extend my trips and not load the bike itself down giving my wife and I more room to be comfortable. I could have stuck with the older bike but I moved ahead because I COULD...and I am more comfortable. To each his own. I love riding. I loved riding my old vibrating 250 Harley Sprint when I was 15 years old. It brought me a lot of joy. I'm a bit older now and I love riding my RSV. Complete with AM/FM/MP3, Cruise, Air Suspension, Backrest, Highway Pegs and sometimes pulling my trailer when it makes things more comfortable.

    This is something that Charles emailed me a while back. I fully support his efforts and what we need now are ideas and brainstorming about anything that we can do along these lines. Whether that be us doing something on our own or getting involved with an advocacy group where we can make a difference. So please, let's not take this lightly. Let's put our heads together and see if we can come up with some ideas that would make a difference.

    It's already in Excel format. Check the sticky "Updated Members List" at the top of the Watering Hole.

    I just received word that our VentureRider Guardian Bells are being shipped to me today. That means that I should have them in a two or three days and will then get them shipped out to you ASAP.

    I agree...I don't know what is wrong with people like that. Keying cars, kicking things, etc. It's sad.
  17. Freebird
    Nope...no kidding... http://www.hitchdoc.com/price.html That $100.00 looks pretty good.
  18. Freebird
    That's a bargain. Hitchdoc sells them for $235.00 and the only chrome you can see is the bit of chrome where the ball goes. Heck...take it and have it chromed and you are still ahead of the game. Not to mention that they don't even sell one for the '83-'85. OH...Hitchdoc also makes one for the Magna...it's only $258.00.

    OOPS....Guess I should have read it closer before cutting and pasting the list. Not only did I remove it from the list but also from the supported sites. Thanks for noticing.

    I just did an upgrade to the "videos" folder here. You know that you can post a YouTube link in that folder and the video will actually appear in the folder rather than you being taken to YouTube. That area SHOULD now also support the videos from the following sites. YouTube v1.0.0 Google Video v1.0.0 MySpace Video v1.0.0 MetaCafe Video v1.0.0 Yahoo Video v1.0.1 Koreus Video v1.0.1 Sapo Video v1.0.1 video.google.co.uk v1.0.2 Live Leak v1.0.2 Photobucket v1.0.3 Gametrailers v1.0.3 MyVideo v1.0.4 GameSpot v1.0.4 Veoh v1.0.4 StreetFire v1.0.4 Stage6 v1.0.4 Sevenload v1.0.4 Izlesene v1.0.4 Vidiac v1.0.4 Xtube v1.0.6 VidMax v1.0.6 RedTube v1.0.6 OnSmash v1.0.6 GodTube v1.0.6 BrightCove v1.0.7 YouKu v1.0.7

    Come on over. Actually, I used to hunt a lot and have put many deer in the freezer but haven't hunted in about 15 years now. My wife's nephew dropped of some venison last week though so I do have some in the freezer. Not the same as it being your own though. I used to do my own butchering and everything.

    I've got room.
  23. Freebird
    WOW...and not even a mention that loud pipes and helmets save lives.

    J&M cords have always been problematic. That is why I switched to the AirRiders the last time I bought headsets. They are no better at all and is why I will be going a different route next time.

    You are still there...right were you always were. I did change the number to 5.
