  1. That is the oil recommended by Triumph in the owners guide for my 2001 Thunderbird.
  2. I'd go to Buffalo now before you HAVE to go later when there's snow in the forecast.
  3. $250 for a tach is too much.
  4. They haven't finished the trick-or-treat candy yet...
  5. It would be good to post the recall here. But no one has been able to post a copy of the serial numbers. So, talk to your dealer.
  6. btw, there is a recall on certain serial number 07's for incorrectly torqued engine bolts. If buying an 07, have the serial number checked to see if it needs this warranty work.
  7. welcome home.
  8. there was a good crop of apples this year at Ellijay. This thread reminds me that I'm hungry for a good apple pie. Nothing makes a better breakfast with a hot cup of coffee.
  9. I presume you've found the online service manual in the tech section for the 1st Gens?
  10. You can hire a dog sled to bring it out...
  11. there was a MM on ebay a few days ago in Duluth.
  12. I have a tank bib with a couple small pouches.
  13. I hope I'm wise enough and astute enough to know when I should give it up. Maybe I'll see you at one of the M&E's
  14. pictures.... so where are the pictures? 2stroke or 4 stroke? 1 cyl or 2 cyl street or trail?

    Vote

    I make sure not to vote for anyone that called me with a canned telephone message and interupted my dinner.
  16. sorry to hear your Dad passed on. prayers are with the family.
  17. prayers sent.
  18. Yep. dog toys don't last long here either. My pooches almost made a snack out of a baby squirrel that got out of its tree and ran around the yard this afternoon. luckily I was able to grab the dogs in time.
  19. re: shocks. I'm sure a 150 lb Japanese test rider is able to do 50,000 miles in laps around the Yamaha test track without any rear shock problems... Robot... hmm, she's kinda cute. I wonder what kind of oil she likes?
  20. A good handling bike you have confidence in is worth a lot. Sounds like you made some worthwhile mods.

    Got one!

    I'm looking forward to seeing the new '99 at one of the M&E in the area soon. You did good. I have the Butler mod done to my RSV standard seat, you may want to try it if you haven't found a pillow top first.
  22. As long as its well maintained and any outstanding potential issues fixed up, thats not too many miles on the Venture. Many riders have to replace the rear shock by that many miles. Valves should have been checked and clearances brought within spec. brakes pads should be ok. Many riders have to have new clutch springs by that many miles. fluids fresh all around. Front fork tree should be solid. Has the seller lubed the drive shaft and splines? any leaks in the forks? But its not too many miles on this bike.
  23. Whenever I see storm clouds coming, I duck into the nearest Dairy Queen until its over. So, I guess you could say its never been ridden in the rain..
  24. Yes, I've done it that way. I bought a MityVac and couldn't get it to work, so did it by hand. With just a tube into a coffee can.
  25. Since I don't watch TV I'll never see it until someone records it and posts the video file or it makes it to YouTube. So are there 2 versions, someone said there were?
