    On my way home from Pittsburgh today, I happened to pass by a Victory dealer in Medina, OH. Since I have never seen the new Vision in person, I stopped in to take a look. Well...they didn't have one so that was a waste. What they did have though was 3 of the new Piaggio MP-3 scooters. I don't know that I would ever want one but they sure look cool and I would like to ride one. OH...and this crazy thing has a 15 gallon gas tank. http://www.piaggiousa.com/

    I agree with most of what you said but not sure about your prices. I haven't priced a new Wing because I have no interest. You say $26.000 and that the Ultra is more than that. I have priced the Ultra. It comes with everything that the Venture has plus fuel injection, full gauges, and alarm. The price quoted me, out the door, was $23,000.00. That price included a couple of items that I had them include, riders backrest and Kuryakyn highway pegs. ABS is option, $500.00 I think and was not on the particular bike that I was looking at. I'm not saying the the RSV is not a great value, especially in comparison...but the Ultra is nowhere near as high as what you are saying.

    Yes, we'll figure something out once I get something going. I'm still waiting on a final quote from at least ONE provider. Still looking for alternative providers in case this one doesn't work out.

    You guys are just barely ahead of me. I had exchanged emails with Zach earlier today and he had agreed to honor that price through the winter..up until April I think. I told him that I would add him as a Vendor who offers us discounts later this evening. That is a very good deal for anybody wanting to improve their braking, which these bikes DO need.

    Don who?

    No, I'm sorry but I've never used one. My thoughts would be no but that just because that's what makes sense. You might email J&M to be sure. audio@jmcorp.com

    I know that J&M made one. Model number was HM-09 but I don't find it on their website now.

    There's an old saying that I live by...."Nobody likes a quitter". Seriously, good luck to you.

    I have tried many times to find this information. Yamaha does not release those figures and I've never found them anywhere else.

    I know that the California bikes have more pollution control but are the mufflers the same as those on Ventures in other states? I think they are but was just wondering for sure.

    Around here, dishnetwork.com will install it free for up to 4 rooms. That includes a DVR and etc. Are they not available in Canada?

    Do a search for HHO and you'll find plenty of reasons why it is not practical. The bottom line is that energy cannot be created, only converted from one source to another. The kicker in this case is the amount of power required to convert the water to Hydrogen. You actually LOSE. This has been brought up every few years for over 30 years. It's nothing new and the reason you don't see it in operation is simply because it makes no sense.

    Dan, Didn't you put new diaphragms in the black bike? Why don't you just use those carbs?

    I don't even give them the chance of turning me away. I usually make my reservations online before I get there. If I don't make them for the entire trip before leaving, I will make them during the day when I decide where I will be that night. I usually carry my laptop with me and I have even logged on from the hotel parking lot, made my reservations online, then walked right in and checked in. Not only do I then KNOW that they have a room but the price is very often cheaper when you book online. I went into a hotel one day, on a business trip and not on the bike, and was quoted $89.00 for a room. I told them that was high and I had seen it cheaper online. They said that the online price was only good if you booked online. I walked right out to my car, got online using the hotels WIFI connection, made a reservation at $69.99 per night and walked right back in and checked in.

    Just an update on Starcom. I got an email from them this morning with an apology that "my emails were misunderstood". They sent a new dealer list and also information that their Goldwing headsets Part number GH-004 / GH-006 are 5 pin headsets. From my past experiences, those should also work with the Venture. Also, they do offer a 10% discount to club members. They require a membership number when you order. We do not really use membership numbers here but if you need one, they would basically the number shown in the URL address bar if you click on your name in the members list. For example, if I go to the members list and click on my username, the URL that shows up is: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/member.php?u=1 The number following the "U" would be your membership number. In my case, 1. I have decided to give Edsets a try this time but am not trying to discourage anybody who may want to try the Starcom units.

    and that is exactly the way I feel also. I feel the same way about toll roads. I travel a LOT and avoid them anytime I can. I pay enough taxes on gas and etc. that I don't feel I should have to pay again to drive on any road.

    There have been a number of discussions here about the "gremlin" or "guardian" bells. I am working on getting some custom made with our logo and or club name on them. Is there any interest?
  22. Freebird
    That would be a very possible scenario.

    Sorry to even have to ask but I need really nice pictures of Leslie, Dave Buffa, Bigtruck (Dave Idle) for our memorials page. If you have anything, please get them to me. Thanks.

    I am so sorry to hear this. What a useless and tragic accident. My prayers will be with the family.

    I'll see what I can come up with.
