    Steve, Great looking ride, if the wife rides with you, she'll love the passenger room on the bike. ...as for the rest of you you all crack me up, but I'm smiling and will laugh at the posts I have read here all the way to work

    Just a quick call out, The rear rotor on my '99 is smoked, does anyone have a spare they are willling to let go of I'm going to check for a new one but that is going to take a few days. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, or if a different rotor off another bike is compatable...Thanks folks

    We are all grateful for his sacrifise, I do somewhat know what he feels like as I spent 8 months over there at the 1st dance. He's in our thoughts Jay, and thankful for his dedication to duty...Semper Fi

    Buy which bike feels best to you. I personally dont like the foot position on the 1800cc wings. Unfortunately your comparing apples to oranges, as both bikes are totally different beasts. I also like too that the RSV is a much simpler bike. The wing has A LOT of electronics and gadgets. If your a gadget guy then this might appeal to you. I look at it as there is more things to potentially go wrong with the wing than the RSV. Performance too is a different feel, unfortunately the wing out handles the RSV. It was designed this way and should do it. All in all it's up to you on what feels best, go take a ride on both. Take Momma and see which one she feels better on. My wife didn't like the feel of the wing's rear seat area. If your wife travels a lot with you then this might also be an issue. Good luck in whatever you decide and stay on the site regardless of what you get....were all here just for the fun

    Ron...My Friend, Words are never easy to put together when we hear of a sensless loss like this one. It always bring ones emotions to a breaking point and we ask God why? He is there for us, nurturing us, even though we believe we are being punished as he has take one of his children home. I too met you, and instantly liked you, you have a good old soul and I appreciate who you are. There are many folks here on this site that I feel this way about. So to you and all of my "Family" here I love you folks, and if I dont see you again....you have made my life better because I know you. If you need to talk Bro, I'm here for you...here is something I like folks to have in times like these. God Bless you my friend Irish Tombstone Prayer Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to eachother, that we are still Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used to. Laugh as we always laughed together. Play, Smile, Think of me, Pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was, there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well, nothing is past, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before...Only better, infinitely happier and forever we will all be one together with Christ

    Matt, There are 2 1300's in the classifieds, perhaps this could be an option for you. If your going to part it out and eventually sell whats left on ebay wait until the spring as it will bring better money. I know that you will get a lot of our members that would be interested in parts. They are pretty fair with what they will pay. Good luck in whatever choice you make BTW...Black Owl might still have his 1300, I believe he was going to sell it...might shoot him a PM

    Terry, It all depends on what your looking for in a bike. Are you looking for a full touring machine? or just something to put a few hundred miles on at a time? The Venture is made for the long haul and loves the highway, but there is a price to pay. The machine is VERY big, and somewhat top heavy. It can be cumbersome at slow speeds. The reason I mention this is if you are looking for an around town machine, perhaps the Venture won't work as well. Now if you are riding 2 up and are looking to take long rides and be very comfortable doing just that...then this is the rig you want. It's a totally different machine being it's a V4 instead of a twin, that takes a bit of getting used to. It has all the toys and bells to make long rides comfortable, like cruise, sterio/CB and the full fairing. They are extremely reliable and are a blast to ride once you have gotten used to them. You will get many responces to this post I'm sure, but this is just my take as I'm not sure exactly what your looking for in a bike. As always ask questions, as there will be many answers

    Oils There is many opinions on the subject and we have seen many posts. What you looking for is something that isn't energy conserving. Personally I have used Shell Rotella T 15W40 in my bikes with good results. The Mobil 5000 I believe is an energy conserving oil as I had some clutch slippage when I used it. If you go up top to the search bar and type in oil...you will be overwhelmed with the posts on it. That might help you, or scare you, but give it a try and see if you can make sence out of it for you

    Matt, As mentioned it's all somewhat in your mechanical abilities. If your handy and mechanically inclined then maybe you can try to fix it. But, you could jump into it and really wrap up lots of hours trying to fix all the "little things" that could be hiding. Not trying to be preachy but if you dont have a great tool selection and aren't used to how things sometimes can be a buggar to get apart...I would look elsewhere for help or another bike. There are deals to be found and it seems to me that if your wife loves to ride also, then perhaps a 1300 Royale might be the trick. Then you wont have to worry about 2nd gear and there is lots more room in the saddlebags and trunk. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but some food for thought just the same

    Thats a drag, I haven't purchased anything from Bike Bandit, but I would surely keep the pressure on them and explain your a member here with 3000+ potential buyers. Too bad that some places drop the ball and seem to really not care

    Took the words out of my mouth Jack I see the old buggar has a beard now...gives him a look like "I have many stories to tell"....and he always does

    It is fun getting up like that, my last ride was in the Persian Gulf on our H2. That is a real trip hanging out the door with a gunners belt on Glad you had a good time

  24. Squidley
    In a word....Yep!

    For what these bikes are, they are rockets. A properly tuned 1st gen can keep up with anything in it's weight plus some. It's always fun the 1st time one figures this out with a bit of rightwrist itis
