    Pond Monster Legend By Swifty. 06/09/2008. According to Wikipedia, a legend is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place during a motorcycle rally and to possess certain qualities that give the tale some sense of authenticity. These narratives are centered around pictures that are taken by attendees and explained in online posts to those who were not eye witnesses to the event but like to live their lives vicariously through those that did attend. Well, a legend has begun around a "life form" seen in a pond by only a few people who have attended at Maintenance Day celebrations in Oberlin, Ohio. How it started...many, many, many, many moons ago, one Canadian (our now dearly departed, Charlie) had a camera during one sighting (maybe the first), and posted what he tagged as the pond monster, or was it the Nelson Ness Monster...I forget...but given that he had a reputation for photoshopping his pictures, and was considered by many native Canadians not to be of a sound mind, his posts lacked some credibility, and consequently many ventureriders didn't believe what they saw in his posts...and that's how legends get started. Since some rumours have circulated that I have a special connection to the monster, (likely because I am one of only a hand full of people who have dared the depths of the pond), and since I am one who lives his whole life in the pursuit of educating the masses, I have taken it upon myself to investigate these ULFs (unidentified life forms) and set the record straight once and for all. I am currently in the process of writing the TRUE story, I am gathering evidence, I am waiting for pictures to arrive, I am purchasing software to detect photoshopping, I am checking with my sources (only credible eye witnesses) and I will submit the final product when it is done. If you don't post anything under this post my story WILL be posted directly under this one and it will be bumped for all to readwhen I have determined the truth ; however, if you can't wait for my story and you start your own dribblings below about what you heard (or saw) as is already happening in other threads, then my story will be buried in subsequent pages (which may be best anyways) and the true story of the pond monster may end up being lost forever...

    Thats nice shot Mamma. As you guys know Pond Monster of Loch Nelson apper only at fool moon to moonshine. I guess Monster didnt surface to show, he was looking for strippers, not some old guy whit stady dand. I gues monster has stady hand with assitance of internet. :rotf::rotfl::rotf:

    Well, just get back home from MD yesterday with Strat. There is no downside with that bike. As someone stated before tire life is little consern, but i have mu Avon Cobra in stock size and have more than 6K on rear and it didnt show wear yet. There is lot of technology in that bike. Yamaha did goooood homework making some revolutionary eginereeng tweks. This is a first bike which have weight equaly distributed between front and rear wheel. Life of front tire is less than we expect like on Venture. I have Harley rear tire installed on front backwards, so that help little bit to save money. Otherwise there is stratoliner / roadliner web site as this one, and they have plenty of info you are looking for. Best Dan

    Sta Bil will sometime make more harm than good. I did learn that on hard way with my V* 1100. I will throw full can or two of sea foam in half of gas tank and run it until white smoke start pouring , shut down engine and let it sit overnight. start engine and run on highway until 1/4 of gas left in tank . top of with fresh gas and repeat if needed. OR...... Get yourself 2nd Gen:sign killer dude:
