  1. I'll tell you what, he's lucky, when mine failed it wasn't upright after I was forcebly removed from it at 70mph
  2. Do it Randy, I dont think he has stopped in here in many moons
  3. Stop at the Hub and have them get you one of their handouts. There are some awsome roads there, I did one called the Jasper Disaster, that was a good one I have heard the Cliff House was nice, we didn't get to go there though
  4. That Decoder is a cool deal It says the same for me when I type that Vin in, I should check the one on my '89
  5. That looks exactly like the 2 '99's I have owned, wonder if anyone has called it to his attention? Nevermind, I just saw the responce about the color. Me thinks that if it is titled as a 2001 I would definitely stay away from it as I would be concerned about the VIN #'s matching
  6. The Avons really help with the "Feel" of the bike, the design of the tire, for whatever reason, makes the bike feel more nimble. I know folks that have changed from the Bridgestone and as soon as they installed the Avon stating the bike has never felt of handled this good. I am a huge fan of the Avon Venoms, especially on the Ventures. I have had the 130 front also and it does make the bike feel even more neutral in the steering dept. Only drawback I have with a 130 is at highway speeds the bike doesn't feel as planted as with the 150. It seems to me to get blown around a lot more.
  7. You bet I thought of toes obviously to your Footsie name. My parents inherited a cat and his paws are just like a lions, just smaller. They are very defined and they call him...Toes
  8. US Navy AMS3 Aviation Structural Mechanic '85 to '91 Helo detatchment crew aboard USS Elmer Montgomery FF1082 Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm '90/'91 It's good to see who our brothers in arms were/are here on the site, my thanks to all of you warriors past and present.
  9. This is the 1st time I have heard of an Avon failing, I have run them religiously in the past. On all the Avons I have owned the sidewall pressure is 50 lbs, I'd hate to think what he had in it that would make your statement of overinflation ring true (Not that it isn't)
  10. Todd, Here is a program that might help you in the translation department http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ I believe that Russian is close to czech, so I would try to use a Russian to english on the bablefish and see how that goes
  11. Your absolutely right...seems like old time around here with him back, I kinda like it
  12. What am I going to do with you Charlie
  13. Congrats to her I was wanting to call you and see how she did, great job Sue and a very nice looking bike, can't wait to see it
  14. Gary, Let me know when you'll be down in Texas and we'll both go to the Brazos river and officially get baptized Good seeing you and Mary yesterday too
  15. John, The "springs" on the 1300's is a disc and not individual springs. I personally have never heard of anyone installing 2 stock spring plates on a 1300 engine. I have aways purchased the kit from PCW racing with a new spring plate and removing the half friction disc in the back of the clutch pac with a full one. The PCW kit has a stronger plate that is a harder material with more spring pressure that doesn't fade. I tend to be heavy handed with all my bikes and I have installed the PCW kit into 3 of the 7 Ventures I have owned and been extremely happy with the results. You might want to think about that route instead of doubling up 2 stock plates
  16. How about 'Toes" ?
  17. You have my address, atleast for another month....send it to me!
  18. ....and we wont be in Houston yet, we'll have to wait for the part dux of this one
  19. Pics are in her profile Brad
  20. Get ahold of Freebird and have him check into it, he'll be the one to make the change.
  21. I'll never kiss and tell, we'll except maybe about you...snookums
  22. I need a 3X max, maybe 2X depending upon the cut
  23. I'd wear it like the yellow ribbons until our buddy comes home from over seas. I'm quite secure in my manhood and have no problem wearing pink. Besides I'll wear it around Riderduke and when we go back to Pizza Hut in Oberlin I'll make that waitress think David and I have something going on
  24. I digress...I'll be good and I'll wear a PINK one with pride
  25. Did I say that I was going to buy a shirt
