Thanks Dan, I liked that!!!!

Mine cuts off when the air conditioner kicks on!!! :crackup:

Thanks Walt, that's an oldie but very goodie!!!

I'm suppose to know that but for the life of me , I can't remember. A piece of wire comes to mind, but I really don't think that's it. My Grandma use to make lye soap all the time, but she may have just used a kitchen butcher knife.

From what I hear, even the new Harley's are Project bikes!!! :rotf::rotf:

Now you done went and spoiled all of Yammer Dan's fun!!!!

This is because when you put the bike on the side stand, guess where the oil that's in the air box puddles? You guessed it. In the left rear corner of the air box. Just above the #1 carb.

Prayers on the way. Stay strong Randy.

Plug in your headset and see if you have fader control. Fader only controls the front and rear speakers, not the headsets, that is of course, unless there was a change made to the system since 09.

There is no fader control when using headsets.

No fader with the headsets. The passenger only gets a 100% of what the front controller is set on. Example: front is set half way, rear gets 100% of the volume of front, half way. If you turn up the front to 30 on the front controller, the rear gets that much also. If you turn the front controller down to to 10, the rear gets 100% of that 10 or less if you desire. In other words, the rear can't overcome the front controller.

From what I hear, Harleys come standard with the seat AND handlebar vibrators. :rotf::rotf:

That's a good one Jeff.:clap2::clap2:

Like so many others, mine came with the cd changer in the left saddlebag which took up a good bit of space. I tried keeping it until it started to skip a lot so I took it out and have never looked back. I replaced it with an mp3 player powered from the aux outlet next to the cassette player but I spent too much time plugging it in and unplugging it, so I replaced it with the Venturemp3 player that I installed in the trunk using an relay to turn it off and on with the ignition switch. It's out of sight and I never have to worry about someone taking it while I'm away from the bike because it's locked in the trunk. One sd card holds 594 songs in 6 different folders so I have all kinds of music to listen to. When I want to update the song list, I just pull the card out and take it to my computer and edit the lists. Is it perfect? No. It hangs up from time to time but it's easy to start back up. But to me it's the best thing I've found yet that uses the controls on the handlebar. I don't have to worry about it being out in the weather since it's located away from all the harsh elements. I don't have an Iphone or an Ipod, so I don't have to plug in my phone to the ISimple player that Yamaha came out with. It's part of the bike. I've been using it for several years and couldn't imagine being without it now.

I installed a Speedohealer on my bike a couple of months ago and love it! I just figure the 7.9% back in when checking mileage or mpg's.

And this is coming from a guy who rides a 1st Gen.

Don, don't change anything!!!!!! If something works, you stick with it. Just like the Ventures.

Yea, Dale oftentimes fires one of the older models up and burns rubber up and down the isles. It's hilarious! You'll really like the place if you're into old HARLEYS and INDIANS. They'be also got some old cars and trucks on display.

Nope, checked that first. Hooked up laptop using Windows and it worked perfectly. So, that leads me to believe there's something not getting communicated just right from Linux. I'll figure it out sooner or later.

Mint 12

It all about finesse and MOMENTUM.

Let me say in the beginning that I'm no expert when it comes to computers. I'm just your average homeowner end user but several years ago I got tired of the hassel of always having to buy this or that for Windows and I had an old HP case that lightning had ran in on and pretty much fried everything inside. So, I gutted everything out and bought new components and built my own computer from TigerDirect. It's not blazingly fast by today's standards but if I take a notion one day I might just push it out a little and see. So far, for the last few years it has ran flawless with none of the things that Windows is constantly asking for you to update. Boots up in less than a minute. I tried Ubuntu and Freespire, but didn't like those. The only problem I'm having right now is both my printers are HP, one hardwired, one wireless, act like they are running out of ink but I know for sure they are not. Both are fairly new and both are All In Ones, different models. I've still got to try my laptop on them and see if it will produce a good printout. It runs off of Windows. My son uses it for school work. But when it's all said and done, Linux is the only OS for me between the two.

I've been using MINT 12 since it came out. Just in the last week been considering going to 15. What are your feelings about it so far? Been having a problem lately with both of my home printers with Mint12. May be an outdated driver.

It's not about the mileage man, it's the RIDE! Unless you're dipping into the low 30's or even into the 20's just enjoy the ride. You can't get that from any cage.

I've been using Mobil 1 15w-50 Fully Synthetic in both my Vmax and my RSV for the last 7 years with no problems to speak of. My friend uses it in his GW. Together between his GW and my 2 bikes we have over 150,000 miles using this oil and still going strong. The biggest thing you have to be concerned about IMHO is not using any type of oil with friction modifiers in it that with make the clutch slip. To each his own.
