Every brand of bike has it's recognized (and discussed to death) faults. For example, my RSTD .... no, it's actually perfect.

3:30 nl - will do. -
Fingers crossed. I'll be keeping a good thought for you.

Plug, clip and sand the inside really smooth. Put a tube patch over the plug (on the inside). Tube it. Ride it.

42.64 avg since I rolled it out of the dealer with 1 km on the clock. Currently at 8500. Mostly around town, occasional highway. I neither try to conserve, nor push hard. Ride how i feel like it and let the numbers fall where they may.

If we had ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had eggs...

I've always felt that the (monetary) value of a thing is determined by the amount you sell it for. If I don't sell it, and have no intention of selling it, I guess that makes my RSTD PRICELESS....

Mine's lasted 8,500 km so far...

If Yamaha's hit the sweet spot, why mess with it. (Keep trying HD, you'll get it right sooner or later)

Your trip isn't complete - you're going to have to come back again. You completely missed the most beautiful place in North America, Newfoundland and Labrador. I hope we'll have the privilege of hosting you on your next visit. I've truly enjoyed following your antics (No that's not it) shenanigans (Not quite right either) oddessey (yup, that fits) Safe travels. We'll keep a candle in the window so you can find us next trip.

I stand corrected, or at least improved upon. The reference I have lists Midi as a more modern usage, originating in France. Yours, I believe, is the original Latin?
-
12:00 is neither AM or PM. AM - Ante Midi - before midday PM - Post Midi - after midday The correct usage is 12:00 noon or 12:00 midnight. 12:00 noon is midday (Midi) and thus is neither Ante Midi nor Post Midi. 12:00 midnight is equidistant from 12:00 noon either Ante or Post, and thus is neither, or both, depending on the horological standard consulted. Sorry, you pushed the button on a pet peeve of mine.

Original order has been processed and delivered. They're gorgeous. Don't know if there are any extras. PM Golf&Venture as he did the original order and distribution.

Beaumont Hamel Unit of 2nd CAV (http://2cav.thecav.ca/www.2cav.thecav.ca/Beaumont_Hamel/beaumonthamel_index.htm) will be hosting our annual Support the Troops ride in St. John's NL, CA. This year we are raising funds for a "Wandering Garden" at the LA Miller Centre Veterans Pavilion. When we held the announcement of the event, some of the staff at the center suggested they might want to ride along as passengers. Some of them have never been on a motorcycle before so I thought we should have a safety briefing and I wrote up the following: Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome aboard today's Support the Troops ride from St. John's to Holyrood and return. We will be travelling at an ass-altitude of 24 to 30 inches for pilots, and 30 to 36 inches for passengers, at a cruising speed somewhere within whistling distance of the posted speed limit. For your safety we reccomend that you remain in your seat for the duration of the ride. Each motorcycle is equipped with a 360 degree emergency exit system. In the unlikely event of an emergency, and at the direction of your pilot, please feel free to exit the motorcycle in the direction of your choice. Should you need to speak with your pilot during the ride, either (1) shout really loud, or (2) jab him or her in the ribs until he or she pulls over. Due to the short duration of this morning's ride there will be no in-ride food or beverage service, but food and beverages will be available for purchase at the brief mid-point stopover in Holyrood. You may be asked to exit the motorcycle during the stopover as it may be necessary for your pilot to (a) refuel, (b) add oil, © tighten or re-attach loose or missing parts, (d) polish chrome, and/or (e) walk about complaining about his or her sore ass. This is a non-smoking ride (unless your pilot smokes), and, although none of the motorcycles is equipped with a washroom, you may be assured that if they were, they would be equipped with a smoke detector for your safety. Lastly, we realize that you have a wide range of choices to show your support for your troops, and we wish to thank you most sincerely for choosing to ride with the CAV. Details about the ride, and the veterans pavilion can be found at http://www.healthcarefoundation.ca/events-programs/ride-for-veterans If it is in your heart to support this cause I would appreciate your clicking the "Find a Rider" button on the ride-for-veterans page, click "B" and then the "Donate Now" link under "Spencer Barnes".

When I talked myself into buying the RSTD last April one of the key points I sold myself on in trading my V-Star 950 cruiser was that any time I wanted I could pop off the quick release windshield and backrest and I'd have the style and open air feel of a cruiser. 5 months later I've got the windshield and backrest off so I can get into the details of my baby's weekly bath and wax. I'm about to put them back on when the thought occurs that I've never (NEVER) taken her out without the clip-ons attached. Hmmm. Helmet on and off we go. The difference in feel is amazing. It's like having a completely different bike hidden inside the shell of the RSTD. The open air feel, the perception of freedom, the (probably imagined) nimbleness of response, all brought back the feeling that I loved on my 950. I love the big screen on the highway, and my wife loves the backrest and armrests, but I think the plexi and the backrest may be spending more time on the shelf than they've been used to when I'm going 1-up in town... It feels like the very first time....
