    I already have a Carb Tune on order, so hopefully it works correctly for me.

    Let me know how you like the Baron Bullet Tach, and how it installs. I'd like to add a tach to my RSTD.

    It is relatively easy to set up a non-profit corporation called a 501c. I think it costs $15 a year in Georgia, at least thats what it cost 10 years ago.

    there is someone here in the forum that makes them in several colors and offers them for sale.

    I see a third option is kevlar pads, which per their specs give better stopping power when wet than the organic, but not as prone to wear the rotors. I haven't tried kevlars, but am thinking this may be what I go with when needed.

    You found a good ride it would seem. I like that color scheme too. Give me a shout if you ever cruise towards Georgia.

    I wondered why Soc Sec wanted me to bring a copy of my DD214 when I applied last fall. BTW, good thing there's Soc Sec, because the 401K I thought I was going to live on has become next to worthless. It seems someone else managed to spend all my savings for me.

    mush you huskies.....

    I looked at the specs for the sintered vs organic pads. The better stopping power of the sintered seemed to justify buying them, as afterall, stopping is what brakes are for. But... if the brake system is engineered for sufficient stopping power with normal brake pads, what does sintered pads (in terms of locking the thing up sooner/faster) achieve? Am also a bit concerned about the increased wear the sintered pads do to the rotors themselves. Actually I have bought a set of sintered pads for a Triumph I have, but am not needing to install them yet. I'm just thinking aloud, since this thread has me thinking along these lines.

    so how does the concierge open the door for you on this model?

    Who'd a thunk it? Used to have to go to Temple for a pizza and beer after 5pm because nothing in Belton was open except the laundromat

    Congrats on the acquisition of the Venture. Belton Texas, huh? I lived there for 2 years 1969/1970. Fond memories... I know its changed a lot.

    How 'bout a picture of you & your bike in front of a larger-than-life musical instrument. Something you might find in front of a music landmark, nightclub, recording studio, music store or something. Has to be at least 3 or 4+X normal scale to qualify. Somebody in Nashville should score this easily...
  17. RandyR
    yep. can't trust those lights, or anyone else on the road...

    http://www.bohn-armor-pants.com I found a link to this site while browsing. The pants look interesting, I already have an armored jacket that I like. Has anyone used Bohn armor or have an opinion. I broke my right arm & shoulder in an accident 3 years ago, so am getting back into riding more cautiously than I have been in the past.
  19. RandyR
    Yep. Blue and Black is faster, and gets better gas mileage too.
  20. RandyR
    so. did ya bring home any choice cuts? ... glad to hear you're ok. deer are a real problem here.

    I'll watch for the movie locally. If not, it will eventually make it to DVD. Live well while you can my friend. God be with you. there's a web page for the movie http://oneweek.ca/
  22. RandyR
    Good to see you back. Good luck tomorrow....

    click on the Venture History link near the top left of the page. That may explain what you want to know.

    Helmet Help

    RandyR replied to Shot's topic in Watering Hole

    I ordered a new helmet in the special clearance section last week. Got it already. A nice quality full helmet. 1 HJC CL-SP Barbwire Helmet - MC-2F Flat Black/Blue/Silver, Size XL [$89.00] from New Enough. also bought an armored jacket at $50 http://www.newenough.com/closeouts/helmets/hjc/cl_sp_barbwire_motorcycle_helmet.html If you buy from them, when you check out there is a place to donate $1 to this forum, which the dealer will contribute (doesn't cost you the $1)
  25. RandyR
    I hear ya about keeping the dealers in business and making friends with them. I went ahead and got myself scheduled in at 10am tomarrow morning. He'll do the 600 mile while I wait. Said it would take less than 2 hours. I guess there was a cancelation because of the incoming inclement weather and possible snow due about then... brr. Its not too far, about 15 miles. Maybe he'll let me observe.... That wouldn't be bad for my education. But I'll definately plan on doing most of my own routine maintenance, and keep the receipts for oil, filters and other parts attached to a dated log. Thx
