Glad y'all made it out. You should have stopped by Charleston we could have done some kayaking.

I am no guru but the replacement motor would be my suggestion also, pinwall has three of them right now.

Don,
I have been going to the main page and directly to the forum, from work, the gym, home, doctors office on my tablet, laptop, desktop, and phone with no loading issues.
Turned out their website and Cycle trader were wrong it was not a Royal Star Venture but a Roadstar, I should have know nobody was going to sell a 2007 RSV for 4 grand but I had to check.
I should have been more specific, the bike is an 07 RSV, dealer says its in awesome condition but I will have to verify before I commit. Figure if I can't get someone to look at it for me I may have to play hooky tomorrow and go see myself it is only a 3 hour ride for me.
Harley of Charlotte has a 2007 with 26K miles on it for a good price but before I tell the guy I will take it I was wondering if someone could go over and take a look at it for me?
left out it is a Venture not a Harley
One of the roads I grew up riding , It is a good place to have an event, I hosted one a couple years ago about 45 miles up the road and we did the Back of the Dragon and the Python (US 58). The area has several roads like 421 or if you like the gentle sweeping curves you can go up to the Bluegrass trail and 52 over to Big Walker Lookout.
Had a new guy on board ask me what I was using to get some wax off a door and I told him "just a little elbow grease" he told me had never heard of that so I told him I was low and needed some more so off he went a couple hours later he came back mad as a hornet. I do not think there was anyone on the ship he did not ask until someone finally let it slip what it was.
