This is something EVERYONE should enjoy watching
Squidley replied to Midnight Rider's topic in Watering Hole
You just have to love a motivated Marine....you really need to see that in person, it's amazing to say the least. Semper Fi -
Good to have you with us...welcome to the site and if you have any question...just ask
-
Good to have you here Benny and seeing you have jumped right in and introduced yourself. We might be a bit skeptical around you at first seeing you admitted to knowing Ruffy...but I'm sure you'll fit right in
-
Good to hear...I might just know the guy
-
I do believe that you'll like the Avons, as I mentioned I was happy with the Michelins but I really love the Avons
-
It's the '86 Urishi Black there GW, I'm getting anxious to get her shined up and on the road
-
It's a date Steve...but unfortunately Lonna is the one with the scars We'll make it happen. I have said it before that my goal in life is to meet all the folks at VR.org that will tolerate me...you would be on that list
-
You must have missed that thread Lewis Picks below I'm going back to Avon venoms, I had planned that on the '99 when I replaced the Michelins. Like I mention though, they are good tires and I would run them right up with the Avon's for performance.

Lew, This info was passed onto me from the company that performed the inspection. Perhaps I heard it wrong but it would make very good sence to me to think that you would need to install them as deep as possible. I personally do not like the raised reflectors, especially the ones I encountered in Louisiana (no offence to anyone who lived or lives there) If I'm not mistaken wasn't that what took down A1 Ammoniaman (Don) on his scoot when it punctured his rear tire? All I know is that if this is in fact exactly what happened, it makes it very hard for me to go back down to Louisiana and get back on I 10.....very scary no matter how you look at it

Not to be outdone with selling the 2nd genners the R/K brackets at $5 off normal price, I will extend the offer of the Driving light Brackets for you 1st genners with $5 off the normal price. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/835/cat/6/limit/recent/date/1156391368 This is as cheap as I can possibly go with the DLB's and I wouldn't be able to take anything else off them and still make money. So if you have been thinking about getting a set, I can promise you that they will never be any cheaper then they are right now. I will run this sale also till Memorial Day 2008.
-
Well.... It's been quite a while since I have had a sale on any of my items that I offer to you folks....so here it is Until Memorial Day of 2008 I will be taking $5 off of the Roadking Muffler brackets http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/288/cat/7/limit/recent/date/1157932426 I know that some of you have been waiting till the last minute to do upgrades, so if this is one of your upgrades you can save an additional $5

Glad to put your mind at ease John, Lonna and I are looking forward to seeing you and Diane here real soon...be safe buddy

I have to apologise to all our members here as I have been so busy with life that I haven't reported the findings of what caused our crash on Jan 2 2008. With out further delay here what we know.... After the tire was professionally inspected, it was found out that I did in fact hit something in the road. It appears to have been about the size of my pinkey finger and completely punctured the casing and zippered part of the sidewall. I have my theories after learning that some of the reflectors down south are spiked into the asphault. Perhaps one of the reflectors was missing or broke and allowed the retaining spike to puncture the tire. I apologise for not posting this up sooner, but I want you folks to be able to make intelligent desicions on purchasing tires. The Michelin Commanders that I had on my bike are not the cause of the accident. If your thinking of buying them I would say to be confident in them. I was pleased with the performance of them, but ultimately I love the Avons and thats what I will buy in the future. Again I apologise for the delay, I hope this helps out anybody that was wanting to hear about the findings before they bought tires.
-
I'm not going to get into this discussion either, as quite frankly I dont care. That being said, the Michelin Commander that was on the back of my '99 did not fail due to design. It was professionally inspected and it turned out that I hit something about the size of my pinkey finger that punctured the tire and zippered it. Let me say that loud and clear The Michelin Commander failed due to road debris Good luck with your tires and check them often
-
HA!!! Peg you are such a pot stirrer That was a great joke, had me going too. Now we really are going catch you and drag you around That was right up there with Calimari, and your right we do need to stir up things a bit around here. I thought for sure me buying another 1st gen would have done that but I was mistaken
-
Rooster, I'll work on getting it in the classifieds after I get home from work today
-
I don't know what year you RSTD is, but I know that on the RSV's they did have some problems with the rearends. I would definitely check into that with your dealer as it is known by Yamaha and the rearends are the same as far as I know.
-
Were just glad to see that you and George were able to still have a great time and another story to tell at the M&E's. I learned some new things too as I mentioned to George that I didn't think it was the ignition switch This is a very cool family that we all got to pick for ourselves
-
Tap the carb bowls as it's probably a stuck needle like the others have mentioned, my '99 did the same thing before we left for Christmas with it.
-
Lots of us use the RK mufflers on the RSV, I had a set on my '99's and both were completely drilled out. I like the sound of them as it wasn't obnoxiuos, but barked nice when I got on it.
-
Peg, Good for you and Ron, if it fits you both well and you feel you got a good deal thats all that matters. I said it to Buddy a few days ago, if you try to leave we will hunt you down and drag you back kicking and screaming. You most certainly better make it to maintenance day, it's not all about working on bikes. Dont you go anywhere woman! I say that in the nicest way though
-
That is a sick feeling my friend I hate to see those pics, I know how much work you have put into your bike.
-
You folks crack me up It just wouldn't seem right if we didn't have a bike for the season. Our true love will always be the G2, it just fits us better, but we will do some serious miles on this '86. I really want to thank RandyA again for stepping up and doing all the leg work. I couldn't have done it without him, and for those who haven't met him yet, you'll be glad when you finally do. He is one of the best members we have here, and were lucky to have him. I'd like to thank Mike Anderson also, I got a really good deal on the bike and Mike was a pleasure to deal with. I'll get Maxxine cleaned up and all ready to go for the summer...there's a lot of riding to be done this year
-
Mark, Sorry to hear that your going to give it up, I wish you the best and hope that your life settles down a bit. Try not to be a stranger, you know that your part of this family and we'll take you however we can get you.

Nice pics...only took me about 5 minutes to look through them Glad to see that Ambassador at your place...and the '05 too
