  1. Stopped and talked to a couple of gentleman on the BRP yesterday, one was riding an 06 Venture real nice guy gave him a card hopefully he will check us out.
  2. I always like talking with a bunch of ex military folks around non-military they usually don't have a clue and to throw bike speak into it they don't have a chance.
  3. We came through Boiling Spring today.
  4. Good seeing you again and thanks for the tour. We wound up biting the bullet and got the room in Ashville. Don't know what route we will take back may do some of the Parkway.
  5. I thought we already went over this http://www.venturerider.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=67920&d=1338335093
  6. Glad your home will continue to pray for you.
  7. We were supposed to be up there right now but this weeks weather just sucked. Heading out tomorrow for Black Mountain NC and then we may wind up there or where ever.
  8. Congrats, I had the honor of doing that myself in April.
  9. Ok i was going to keep quite but the ET in me has to say something I know trouble maker. Fiberglass and plastic is pretty much transparent to RF that is why they make radomes out of it, however most paints are metalic based and that is what the RF energy bounces off of on your vehicle plus the metal behind it. When we have a radome painted you have to use a special epoxy based paint so the RF energy will go through.
  10. I just took a set of 404's off my 2nd gen only got 8K out of them and I got 25K out of Avon Venoms so I will never get 404's again.
  11. It's been a monsoon on and off all day here, does not look much better up your way.
  12. Do not buy a Nikon Coolpix, we sent my daughters in 3 times for repair and as soon as the warranty was out they said tough. Nikon had the camera longer than my daughter did.
  13. We were eating lunch next to the Garrison Bight Marina in Key West once and a guy backed his boat down the ramp and it just kept going. The boat kept the trailer up so the guy swims up to the boat releases the straps and takes off to go fishing with his truck and trailer still submerged. When I got off work about 5 hours later they were finally pulling the truck out.
  14. Enjoy the new ride I tried a 2012 out but my hips and back did not like it other than that it was a great bike. I am afarid when they change the RSV it won't fit me anymore but it would be nice to see some improvments. Are you looking to get rid of your RSV parts?
  15. Mouser or Digi Key have them in stock I just ordered some from digi-key. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SD-50J/CP-1150-ND/97009
  16. I am bad about about riding gear when it comes to heat, Helmet, t-shirt, jeans, gloves and steel toe boots. I have been shopping for mesh jackets since several on here ride in the summer with them curious to see what eveyone else says.
  17. My first true street bike was a 650 and it did me well for quite awhile.
  18. The police Radars are the same band as radar and satelittle broadcast ( X, K, Ka bands) and at such a low power you are not in any harm, however most use lasers now so its a mute point. As far as the usefullness of a radar detector it has to see the radar gun to go off since all the bands are LOS. Article from WHO http://www.who.int/peh-emf/publications/facts/fs226/en/index.html
  19. Stay safe and will say a prayer for yall
  20. Glad you did not get hurt too bad. Hope you recover quick!
  21. Thanks for posting, our prayers go out to him and the family.
  22. Are you looking for a blonde or brunette?
  23. Everyone should put this on their e-mail calendar so we can remind you.
  24. When and where?
  25. Well it looks like my trip is off, after some wise advice I did not think doing the Dragon and the Skyway this week in the rain would be a good idea.,
