    Ok - I just went to Amazon.com and found the set I have [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Cutlery-Walnut-Tradition-10-Piece/dp/B00005AM7T/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1268848361&sr=1-12]Amazon.com: Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 10-Piece Knife Set with Block: Kitchen & Dining@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41EojXiCxtL.@@AMEPARAM@@41EojXiCxtL[/ame] - the difference is the storage block, mine is not angled, it's straight vertical. I know I paid more when I bought them because Gore hadn't invented the internet yet.

    I understand that Chicago Cutlery is not considered a 'high end' knife set but I've had a set of 8 knives , storage block and steel since early 1980's and they do everything I need. As a matter of fact, I buy beef loins and cut my own steaks and have for many years and have yet to use all of the knives. There are a couple that just never get used.

    I'm cheap also but on top of that I don't like to impose problems on myself so I get my LED's from http://ledaccentlights.net/store/ - everything is plug & play with a lifetime warranty

    Presently, on my Venture I have both 'frost plugs' drilled out completely in the RK muffs. It's fairly loud when accelerating but quite tolerable when cruising, I'm wondering if anybody has just one 'frost plug' removed and which end did you remove ? I have a bit that will remove all of the plug and makes a real nice clean hole.

    Geeeeezz I bought mine last year, a lot more and no flap. I could have saved enough to buy my owners manual and the vendor is only 20 minutes away from me.

    I knew I could do that - however I wanted an original manual - but thanks

    I knew there was a manual here but I wanted an original hard copy for the bike, here's the link http://www.mcmanual.com look around, I'm sure he has more. The one I got looks brand new.

    When I bought my Venture (used, 1 year old) it didn't come with an owners manual. I've been stewing over it since. Well, I finally found an original owners manual on Ebay for $39 delivered. Probably paid too much but I didn't check and don't care, I have one now - I'm sure the guy had more if anybody needs one. Let me know and I'll look up the link

    I read somewhere that your credit rating also was used to set insurance rates.

    I might have an advantage with both UPS and FedEx - We have had the same UPS driver for 25 years and one of the FedEx drivers is a friend and riding buddy. Did you know that your FedEx driver is most likely an independent contractor ? He/she owns their truck and bought the "route" from FedEx. The thing about FedEx is that there are several methods of delivery, regular home, overnight and express and they even have delivery available via semi as long as you have facilities to load/unload. I'm sure UPS has pretty much the same -

    If fedEx makes a delivery, they have in the past left a delivery slip on one of my doors indicating where it was left. When we get a substitute driver, we almost always get items delivered to my sons place of business. His address is 116 Bridge street and my addy is 116 Water Street and believe it or not, it's the same street.

    I wouldn't go ice fishing on a bet and here in NE Ohio, it's just a tad early for any of the spring fish. But - there's always Bassmaster's etc. on the tele

    It's impossible to get anymore but there used to be a gas station nearby that sold white gas. We used it in place of Coleman fuel - somewhere around $1.25 a gallon yeah - that's right , looooong time ago

    Slyvester - my wife is riding with me and there are (right now) 3 other bikes. The lead bike ( Frank Kemp) has been there many times, not sure how many but he and his wife have an itinerary of things they have seen/done in the past. We're staying at the Residence Inn just outside DC. Riderduke - It would be cool to possibly meet up for a M&E - don't know how much time we'll have.

    Is anybody here going to DC on Memorial Day weekend ? I am going for the first time this year, been wanting to go for years. I've never even seen the wall except for the portable wall that I've had the privilege to escort a couple times.
