    I can't believe someone can kill another person with a motorvehicle and only get a ticket. My heart goes out to the family.

    I'll be there. probably will come up I20 from the Atlanta beltway rather than cut accross Athens from the north.

    So far, when it rains, the rain has clouded my windshield so badly that I can't see thru it, so I'm either craning my neck or looking off the side of it. The top is maybe 1/2inch above my eye level on my RSTD. I'm heading for the local Yama dealer to buy some Spectra which has been recommended as a cleaner which makes the rain bead and run off. If that doesn't improve things, then I'm going to be taking about 3inches off my windshield soon.

    I have purchased a Baron's Tach and need to install it to the coils. Seems to be a good candidate project for maintenance day. Also want to learn to use the Carbtune I have. I'll want to help (hopefully someone else) pull a 2nd gen rear wheel, change a tire, and grease the shaft & splines.

    Can we get 3 in the tent? I've never heard myself snore.

    It was a good ride despite the brief time in the rain. The BBQ at Pooles was great and meeting a bunch of new people was great also. And I got dropped off at my front door too!

    www.myspace.com/geresti for myspace which includes a sample of Bob's piano works.

    Well, James should be on his way soon. looks like one storm front moving east of his route now, but another over Illinois headed his way. If he's lucky, he may push south between the two rain fronts.

    hwy 160 is a good ride, but more so in the eastern part of the state. I'd just drop a little south and cruise around Lake Bull Shoals on the local roads, or for a faster ride take Hwy 62 over to Mountain Home then back north to hwy 160 into Branson. Then the next day you could circumnavigate Table Rock Lake. Any of the secondary roads from Harrison crossing the White River or Norfolk River will be good rides.

    If our speedometers are off by 10% which is what those who've checked them say, then we're not getting as good gas mileage as we think. So 40 mpg measured by the odometer is really only 36 mpg.

    I need to get one of those for my dog....

    Thats a good looking bike. It deserves to be ridden.

    someone who blows thru a red light and doesn't see a motorcycle could just as easily have killed a 10 year old girl in the crosswalk going to the school playground. A motorized vehicle IS a deadly weapon.

    It appears that EBC pads are frequently recommended. There are several threads in the VentureRider.Org > Tech Talk > Second Generation Venture Tech Talk section on Brakes. Here's one with the EBC part numbers. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33588 I'm still a few months away from having to worry with less than 2k on my new RSTD.

    At 5'9'' I find the riding position on the RSTD ideal. The comfort level is as good as it gets and I find the stock seat acceptable for the rides I've made so far (500 miles). I can plant both my feet firmly on the ground which is important to me. On an ST1300 that was difficult. The fairing/adjustable windshield on the ST is better than the setup on the RSTD. But overall the RSTD wins for me on rider comfort.

    Please add me to the list. Thanks.

    Thanks. Couple questions. Is this RSTD specific, or combined RSTD and Venture? Is it an actual printed & bound manual, or pages printed from the online manual on a laser printer?
  20. RandyR
    thanks. I just bought a Baron's tach and am not happy with the mounting angle on my 08-RSTD handlebars. I'll take a look at whats available from Ram Mount.

    about 3 hours south of there is Dahlonega, GA (where I live). Lots of good riding roads between the Dragon and here. Follow highway 129 south to hwy 19. Good riding all points in between. Helen GA about 30 miles east of here is a favorite destination on a motorcycle. Good restaurants, hotels and night life there. Richard B Russell Highway 138 and Brasstown Bald is a good ride just north of Helen.

    Great pics. Thanks. I'll have to get there on my bike soon.

    Looks like a good garage-mate. Hopefully the seafoam and some fresh gas does the trick. If not, you'll get plenty of advice here on what to do next...
