Thanks for educating me about the Avalanches. Wish you would have been closer.

Good Luck to you!!!!

More prayers sent your way.

Thanks for posting. Going to try it.

Unique idea, but I too would rather leave my bike to someone that could enjoy it as much as I do. Son in law or close non riding friend is my plan. Scatter my ashes along my favorite riding paths.

Hello Jay: Thanks for the update. I see you spent your savings on membership.

Take comfort in knowing your old bike will provide him with new memories of his own!

I tend to agree with you. Others were not to hot either....

Are those his clothes on the line?

Prays sent to your Brother and Family. Hoping for good news.

Thanks for the update. Good news.

Greetings from Western Nebraska: Welcome to this fine group. I really enjoyed watching the video.

Thinking of you. Prayers sent.

Interesting read: Both bikes have their pros and cons. 99 model RSV's are so popular. Any chance you could afford or have room for both bikes? Several members have both bikes. If not maybe someone on the forum would be interested in working a trade with you.?

Great news!!!!!!

Well said Barry. We are planning our vacation around the events on this site this year! Hope to see some current friends and meet some new ones.

Congrats. I feel you did just fine. You will like the cruise.

Hello Earl: Prayers sent that Jean makes a swift and full recovery. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Hello: I discussed this event with my wife Lee. We are making this our " VR Bike Trip" for 2014. Cousins sounds fine with us.

I understand. However your bike will give someone else great memories. Hopefully you will replace it with something else?

Hello Ken: My RSTD had Metler 880's on it when I got it. I did not have any issues with the Metzlers, but others have complianed about "Chunking" with the Metzlers. I feel $400 each is a bit high. A new set of Dunlap 404's lasted me one season, 8000 miles. So the next time I went with my current E3's. I think I paid $175 for the back tire and $150 for the front. So much knowledge with the Houston Texas crew. Patrolman46 and I traveled 1100 miles last April to attend our first maintenance day at Kregerdoodles in Waller TX. We met a lot of nice members and observed a lot of different maintence items including Tire replacements. I wish we had that amount of organized members and knowledge here out west. I encourage you to attend Kreg's spring event or Squidley's fall Maintenance day or both.

Sad. Thanks for sharing. Mild here for December. Maybe I will go for a ride also!!!!

I agree. May would be too soon. We attended the Cody Rally in July a few years ago and it was cool going over the top then. Great region. Consider the Venture West rally in June and catch it all then.

Thanks everyone: Just the info I needed. I threw a leg over the bike yesterday. Bike started ok, but I thought the idle was a bit rough. Good cosmetic condition, with the exception of a torn rear seat. Needs a new battery. If it were warmer I would have taken it for a test ride. Work in progress.

Hello Dave: I do not have answers for you but we purchased the same for our Son in Law for Christmas. He indicated he used it yesterday. Filmed while he pulled the neighbor kids sleds behind the four wheeler. Amazing video quality!!! He spends a lot of time on a snowmobile during the winter months.
