sorry for your loss! Our condolences!

High winds here in Woodstock & Ingersoll Ont. Have to replace back fence now. Est. $2400 for 6` high by 65` long

Don't know about U.S. warranty(as everything seems different between our two countries) but here in Ontario Canada my dealers told me that many people do pull trailers BUT if there is damage done that mama Yamaha might not repair under warranty as they are not made to pull trailers. Pretty sure owners manual says this also.

I got there around 10:15am. Did drive around outside roads then parked first road past where police were directing traffic when you came into Dover. Was that Gambler I saw on road by tennis court when we were diverted onto east side road? there were a couple of Royal Star Ventures on east side of road.

Sorry to hear your trip is getting near to its end. Hope you had a great trip! Sorry to have missed see you again but hope to see you again and I will try very hard to introduce Phantom Wife to you!

I too like Freebird have looked for years since I bought my 87VR back in 2002 but had no luck. Like Brake Pad's post for the wooden models being made. If we could get a group buy I would be interested in one of my 1987 & 2012. Did find a model of my ROAD STAR at Harley swap meet 2 years ago.Brand new in box for $15. Traded bike but kept model.

Is this a type of cyber-bullying?? JMHO

Didn't buy trailer! Needed too much. Smelled really musty. Was stored outside with no cover and leaked. Everything was damp and smelled.Guy ripped back pannel when he tried to zip it up. Seen a couple people on site that had one like this trailer.Phantom said she wasn't interested when she seen it but let me look it over anyway. Thought it over and we decided to not buy it. Later thought I should have bought it and scrapped tent to use as cargo trailer instead. O-well.

going to look at tent trailer later today. Phantom is going also to give her opinion.Tent part is canvas so it is older style.They say it doesn't leak.Looks to be in good shape. Has 2 fold out areas with double beds and hard top. Any sugestions on what to look for?

What about putting oil in a spray bottle or pump bottle from dollar store and try misting filters with them next time.

Had 2000 model and put 65000klms(3 years). Loved it .Same comments as others about mileage/ performance etc.Had aftermarket seat on it which helped. Check out the web-site for the bike---almost as good as this site for imformation etc.

Brett was a friend of my oldest son. His group of friends here are shaken up about this mishap. They were going to viewing today and plan on attending funeral this week.

I believe the same thing. Stopping is usually the best thing to do and usually appreciated (not always tho). One time I was coming back from a swap meet in Fort Erie(Canadian side) and spotted a bunch of Harley riders in gas station who abruptly pulled out in front of me making me hit brakes to accommodate them. NO biggy! 20klm up road happened to see one pulled over so I stopped to see if help was needed. He just stared me down and didn't reply. Few minutes later 2 of his fellow riders showed up and pulled over on wrong side of road and blocked my bike from the front.SSSOOOO I backed up and pulled onto the highway and left them alone. Still stop even with this episode & will continue as there more thankful people around than these.

Glad you had a good trip! Great reading your updates! Which Phantom Wife would have more time off so WE could do more riding like she said she would like to do when we bought new Venture.BUT we did get away for a week with in-laws for a week in Watkins Glenn.

saddlebum & I were the first to try the shark and black-death and like someone said(more or less Canadians must rule) I didn't really find too much in taste for the shark(more like chewing rubber)and the blackdeath WAS GOOD and hit the spot real good! Thanks again StarFan for the opportunity to have met you and sampled your shark! Would have no problem trying them again!! Glad you had a good time and hope to see you again!

Will probably be going!! Will see if better half will be going but doubt it. Brother-in-law may also go but won't know till later on.

Our condolences from Phantom Wife & I!!Sorry to hear about your father.

After taking 1-1/2 hours at Fort Erie border + 3 1/2 hour drive from home to rally the trip WAS well worth the trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS to Michelle and Terry for all their generosity and use of property. ALSO great band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a great time camping with friends and also all the ridding we did! THEN went to bongobobny's for a last visit before leaving to go home around 5:00pm. made it to Cheektowaga(6:15) to find Harbor Freight store for next time down and then had hot-dog(about 30min) left there and headed for border but when got to exit------traffic was backed up to the 190 and sign said 60-120min delay.SO kept on going to border at Niagara-falls which also said 60-120min delay BUT figured by the time I got there it might be less.HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! Got to first sign on 190 that says if flashing to look for slow or stopped traffic. GUESS what ? As soon as I got past sign traffic STOPPED DEAD. Took 2 1/2 hours to just get to Duty-Free!!!!!!!! Parked bike to cool down and buy bottle for son then left to head to border,what a pain----construction congestion. Took 3min to talk to guard then on to toll booth. Stopped at rest stop for half hour to cool bike again then left to go home finally.Got home at 3:15am. YES 5:00pm--------3:15am--------10 1/2hrs SUCKS!!!!!!!! Hopefully NEXT trip won't take so long!!!

Hoping to get off work in morning have shower and leave before noon.

Done!

I got my time off so yes I will be there.Probably leaving after work on Thurs.Morning or mid day -not sure yet.

Just read! :Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday: belated from Phantom Wife and I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for your loss!!! Our condolences!!!

I am planning on it. Still have to check and make sure I have the time off. Should know next week. No Phantom Wife tho.

Everything seems to be OK. Only cracks were there before. Carl & Brad seen trailer and the lights I have(4" round Led tail-lights) REALLY bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I had them ON while I was stopped.(had comments that more lights weren't needed because of brightness of the one I have) So I think it might have been a brief break release then a bit of gas before she hit me. Normally I keep eyes on what is going or coming up behind me but luckily kept enough room between me and new Corvette ahead of me.
