My first impression is that it looks like the XLCR. I like it.

You guys that trike your goldwings out, do you have the footpegs that you no longer use that you would be willing to let go? I would really like a pair of them. Thanks

That is GREAT NEWS!

The problem with those crossings is the moss that grows on the cement. Slippery than snot. You want to be in the tire tracks of the cars so your chances are better.

Let me try this again: Here on Venturerider there is a second gen parts bike: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/photopost/showcat.php?cat=8 Maybe he will have what you need.

A guy in the 2nd gen classifieds has an 07 he is parting out.

Doesn't really matter which one it is, love them all

Don't plan on being there this year, will be out west. I do have to say that I sure do love meeting everyone when i do show up, but not this year.

So you want a Ducati story huh? Well, back in the late 60s I had a Ducati Mountaineer, 90cc. It was a dual purpose bike of sorts. It had two rear sprockets and a chunk of chain to add for using the larger sprocket for off roading. I used to ride that thing in the local enduros. Never really did very good, but had a lot of fun. On one particular day, I was getting close to the finish, but the last bit was on a short stretch of road. I saw a guy along side of the road that I had seen off and on during the day, so I was going to stop and see if I could give him a hand. Well, the old guy following me in a CAR, didn't stop when I did. The next thing I know I'm flying down the road. (literally) So the way this played out was, the bike landed on it's left side, sliding, with me lying on the right side, and when WE came to a stop, I rolled off. It must have been quite a sight to see, cause cars and trucks stopped. Well, they hauled me off to the hospital, I really wasn't hurt too bad. The bike was quite a mess though. Can't say I know what ever happened to the old guy that hit me, but did get some compensation for the bike. As I recall, me and my cousin fixed it up somewhat. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

OK, if I was still working I would have checked the hardness on our hardness tester. But I'm not so I had my friend check the hardness on the RC scale for me. The dark, longer ones are the stock links from my RSTD and the other ones are lowering links for my DL650 Suzuki. I knew what the outcome would be, but now you can see what it is: These were both soft as I suggested In fact I'm putting the vstrom lowering links on today. Only 3/4" though.

Sorry, no pictures, but: 1-1975XS650 bought new 2- (2) 1976 Yamaha Moto bikes , still have one 3-1986 Venture royale 4-1980 XS650, I chopped this one 5-2005 RSTD

Hope it goes great for you this year. Did you see the post I did about the hardness (or lack of) of the dogbones?

I use Raindar more than any other ap. but the reason that I got a smart phone to begin with was to get the Navonics Lake Map ap. I did pay 9.99 for that one, and it's worth it to me. It has all north American lakes, contours, stumps, routes and many other options. In the summer or winter I can go to any spot on any lake that I want to go to.

Glad you had a good trip home. If push comes to shove, I can help you get the lid open. It does involve cutting the pin in the hinge though. I've done it and it is doable and fixable. Here is what the pin looks like inside of that hinge: Keep in mind, this hinge pin is tapered and you will NOT find it anywhere unless you get another bag assembly. Hopefully you won't need this info. but it you do you can get a hold of me.

I'm with zzyzx. I put my phone on airplane mode when I'm riding. Could care less who calls when I'm riding.

Hate to say it Cowpuck but he amining that sucker DEAD NUTS AT YOU!:snow2::clap2::dancefool:

your just like the weathermen, you don't have a clue

What does this all involve and where do you get it?

Good luck with that new bike and enjoy your ride home

I told a friend of mine to use virgin olive oil. He wanted to know if he needed virgin or extra virgin olive oil. I told him any old virgin would do.

Glad that worked out for you. Could've been real ugly, and I know I don't need to tell you that.

Are they cracked on the bottom or somewhere you can see the crack? You can fix those cracks quite easily you know.

Sounds like your both in the ballpark to me. Negotiate.
