  1. Kevin, Another member had a similiar issue here is the thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-75491.html
  2. Cool:thumbsup2:
  3. The Hazards over ride the turn signals so if the turn signals are working correctly without the flashers on don't worry about that part of the circuit. Which relay did you replace there are two for the Hazards? I sent up the signal system drawing via e-mail. If you replaced the main hazard relay (the one with 6 wires) check the dark green wire coming out of the realy to see if you have power there when your emergency flashers are on (depending on the meter you may not read a full twelve volts), if you do and you replaced the relay the contact in the socket is probally bad. If you do have power than you problem is from there to the lights.
  4. I have had mine 2 years and have used it maybe half a dozen times, it's a neat toy but if I had to do it over again I would not have bought it. As for mounting I have mine on the handle bars and it's a little unsteady but I have seen several good videos taken form ones mounted to the helmets and the stick on mounts adhere very well.

  6. I hope everyone has a great Festivus and a Merry and Blessed Christmas.
  7. Thanks for posting, maybe it will be a lesson for someone to take away with and hopefully y'all learned yours. I will say I do miss being young and stupid at times well I still have the last part sometime. Hope all works out and you have a merry Christmas despite all that happened.

  9. Thanks for sharing Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours.
  10. Others may think different but it's not losing the one percent that really matters it's the fact that there are so many other wasteful programs that should have been cut first. I would gladly give up part of my retirment if it would actually help anything but untill these other programs have been cut I see no point and as for you other questions I think it has been covered several times without going into very personal and gory details already. Merry Christmas and God bless you and yours.
  11. Your video makes me think I should change my user name.
  12. I think Flag officers do not remember where they came from. I think his position is wrong but I too have to admire his courage to stick with it, too many people now will apologize for their beliefs just to be liked again. I also have to applaud all those that have commented and kept this thread a little heated but otherwise civilized. May everyone have a truly blessed Christmas.
  13. I fixed the link and yes it is for someone who retires today, much more than I get also.
  14. After taxes an E-6 with 20 years of service gets 14,820 a year in retainer. http://militarypay.defense.gov/mpcalcs/Calculators/FinalPayHigh3.aspx?calcType=final
  15. So what you are saying is after I went through all this stuff I was stupid for staying in? I do think more get out than stay in, I believe only 15 to 17 percent retire but without those that stay in till 20 or more you would never have any senior enlisted and the knowledge base that goes with it. As for the pension I wish I got more it's nowhere near enough to live off of but we knew that when we signed up. Also most of the stuff I mentioned still goes on in peace time, because deployments still happen, troops are forward deployed and there is always somewhere that the US sends the military into.

  17. We usally do not have an issue with people parking in the actuall spaces but we do have an issue with bikes parking in the blue stripped area that is supposed to be kept clear for van access. Did not know about the app will have to check it out, thanks. In SC they are now putting your picture on the placard.
  18. I forgot I did read the article in the link and for the most part the facts are there but not all of them are correct. One thing I do like is the idea of a retirment for all veterans as long as it does not give any of them the shaft. It is true most of us can absorb a 1% loss and I would be all for it if other programs that support those that are here illegally or just have no desire to work and can don't were cut first. In addition Flag officers have a tendency to forget where they came from when it comes to these kind of issues.
  19. For those that served or want to know what Navy life is like. http://bluejacket.com/humor_navy-life.htm
  20. If you want to really know the truth there is no such thing as a 20 year military retirement you can leave the military at 20 with retainer but you do not retire until 30 years. I believe most people on here are aware of the terms of military retirement and for that retirement the ones that make it to that point have had the luxury of being shot at, spending years away from their families, taking cold showers or none at all, eating MREs or none at all, missing their kids grow up, spending days awake because they don't know if that low hanging cloud is dust from a wind storm or nerve gas, being awaken in the middle of the night by a mortar attack, standing watch in all kind of conditions and more horror and sacrific than most will ever know, I forgot to mention a good portion of retirees never live past their first year of retirement. Even without the things mentioned above I believe the single fact that these men and women served our country for a good protion of their lives and were willing to sacrifice those lives for the good of this country deserve the small of retirement they get. A military memebr does not serve for the money they serve for their country and I know this must be true because why would anyone work in a job that paid half or less of what they would make in the civilian world? I do not hold your comments against you but do me a favor research the things I have said and if after that you still think the way you do so be it you have that right and the right to speak it thanks to those that served.
  21. From the subject I thought it was going to be something bad. Glad you got them changed I did one today and cannot find the torque specs for the fake fins. What did you tighten yours down to?
