Unfortunately, in Georgia "I didn't see him" seems to be adequate defense to be let go (from criminal charges) when you hit a motorcycle. Hoefully, its not that case where you are.

hit the brakes for all its worth, unless you see a way to get around the car thats safer than hitting him. If you can get behind him and lay the bike down and ride the bike like a body board, thats best. In a side hit, I'm not sure how to get the weight of the bike between you and the car, instead of the other way around. I'm not sure trying to jump at the last second is any better than getting one more second of braking. Maybe, hit at a slight angle such that you can control which way the bike will come around, and kick your leg up off that side and let go of that handlebar. If you don't hit him, 75% odds he'll just drive away though unless there are a lot of witnesses around.

Yep, had some half way decent skiing here last winter up at Maggie Valley.

pound for pound, the Triumph Rocket III is a good buy. New ones can be had around the $15,000 mark, of course they don't have all the accessories that come standard on a Venture. There seem to be a lot of low mileage almost new ones for sale too. I think some people find they've bit off more than they can comfortably handle with the Rocket.

call the ship line and ask if the ship will store it for you while travelling.

Question about replacement fuel pump
RandyR replied to LilBeaver's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I'll also mention that on my fuel cut-off switch (2000 MM RSV), it doesn't (cut off the fuel, that is). So there is some kind of internal leak. In looking at the fiche, I see there is a mod to the cutoff switch in 2003 or 2004 (I don't remember exactly when). I've bought a new fuel switch, just need to find the right moment to install it. -

ok. why wouldn't he hear it going clicky-clicky when he turns on the key, if the float bowls are empty? -
some people think stop signs are for other people. Others are just too busy polishing their nails or texting their friends to bother with the inconvenience of looking where they're going.

I took a demo ride on one before buying my RSTD last year. It was surprisingly manageable for as big a machine as it is. But, I decided it was just too much for me. Think that for a 300lb football lineman, its just the ticket though.

I went north up US441 last month and there were a herd of large elk (I think they were elk) off to the east side of the road with lots of cars stopped to take pictures. Its a beautiful ride.

Getting a first bike soon and need a gear checklist!
RandyR replied to GAWildKat's topic in Watering Hole
I recommend http://newenough.com/ as a place to check for gear. Their prices beat just about everyone. The best of all worlds is kevlar plus armor. Kevlar to stop the road rash, and armor to protect bones from impact. That said I don't own kevlar and use a cloth jacket with easy open flaps to let in air and that has shoulder and elbow armor. I have a set of Bohns to wear under bluejeans. http://www.bohnarmor.com/catalog/products.php?cat=17 -
Bidding on TCI
RandyR replied to hdroyer's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
If someone were to report you to ebay, your acount would be revoked and your bid deleted. -
So how many hours do you need in the simulator before you can take this out for a first flight?
