    Hey Brad & Lonna, Glad your trip went well other than the Trailer Insodent. At least you were able to see some Good People and spend some time having fun. Your new bike looks nice, very glad to see you riding again. Take Care, Later-

    Hey All, over at a couple Harley Buds and we looked on the ground and the rear shock was leaking oil (and yes I was harrased, about how metrics leak oil). The rear end floats up and down like a bober when two up, especially over bumps. Question: Is the standard Rear Shock Rebuildable??? Thanks for your help, Later-

    37 mpg is about normal to me. Some get 33 up to 45 mpg. My Normal two up on the RSV is about 35-40, single 38-43 depending on how much I get on it, wind, speed, etc. Out west trip last year we averaged 37.5 mpg. Yamaha's MPG on their motorcycles are low compaired to others. But your detuned vmax engine will run forever. So half dozen one for another compaired to money going out on repairs. Have Fun, Later-

    Hey shmedly, Good Pictures, like the colors, almost same on both bikes, about the same colors I had on the V*1100. On the Harley you were just sitting there, on the TD you had a Big Grin, man is that a good sign, lol. In parking lots at slow speeds, the TD will take a wider turn ratio than the Harley, because the TD is a longer bike. When it came time for tire replacement I asked around, Squidley told me about the Avon Venom 130 Front Tire, it made a Tremedous Difference to me in slow speed turning and handling. Give it time to Break In, I know you want to try her out, but.... Anyways, have fun, Later-

    Congrads on the RSV. Growing up with brothers and friends riding Harleys, I can relate. Still today on rides my friends will switch bikes, never once do I hear them tell me the RSV is better, some will even say they don't like it, but when I see the smile on their face when they are riding the RSV, I know which is the better bike. But like Dennis said, after you give a long break in period, let her whine out when you shift, she will really show you what the RSV is about. Have Fun, Later-

    When I bought my RSV they already had the Wood Grain on it. Goes well with the colors of my bike. I did peal a little from backing, when we was caught in a monster rain storm of 6" in 10 minutes and 69 mpr winds in Vegas last year. That was fixable, I think it looks Great. Later-

    Hey Steve, had the same thing happen to us last year on our trip out West. Way overloaded the bags. After Several attempts I was sure it would need to be drilled out. One last attempt I put pressure on the top of saddlebag with my knee and the wife applied pressure about where the latches are located, then by pushing the lid forward toward the bike, put in the key, locked and unlocked (while still applying pressure) and pushed in the button slowly and it released. Just what I did, may never work again, but hope it does for you. Later-

    Sorry to hear it man, understand, been laid off come two years in August. Just glad the wife still working. Funny thing, Unemployment doesn't count the numbers when you run out of it. Michigan is probably around 40%, because no jobs to replace the ones that shut down. Wish you all the best, hope you find work fast. Later-

    Hey Dave, wife and I and another couple went last year. All I can say is wow, one of this worlds great sites to see, you are awed when you look out, no words to describe that beautiful view. Our 08 Vacation was 12 days from Northern Michigan thru various states, the Mountains of Colorado (Beautiful), to Grand Canyon, Four Corners, Hoover Dam, Vegas, to California, back to Route 66, visit Dad in TN, and on home. It was a spectacular trip. Wives took over 1000 pictures, some amazing sites. Dave, I truly appreciate you posting these pictures. Recommend that everyone goes to the Grand Canyon at least once in your life, you will stand there speechless in Amazement. Later-

    Thanks for the heads up. I am on the computer all day. I use three programs, NoAdware in morning, run a scan before I do anything. Then I either let AVG run at set time, or I run Trend Micro House Call 6.5 Free Version http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/ but I Do Not download the free 30 day trial. Have a good friend, Anthony Keith, that has his own computer and webpage business and you can visit his site for some Free Downloads of virus protection, popup stoppers, and various Downloads http://www.atkcomputers.com/ Later-

    Guess I just don't understand, it don't leak oil, and the light does not come on, good to go, just ride till it stops. Just kidding, I check the tires once a week and the oil, has to be a built in sensor in us to check the oil. Later-

    Courious, is there a comparison chart anywhere of the 1st Gen to 2nd Gen? If I sell my 03 RSV, it will be driving me crazy not to ride, so I may be looking at one. ic23B, I have family in Flint, get down there about once a month. Later-
