I lost my dad in September and I play "his" song and it gives me comfort... This was one of his favorites and he asked for it to be played at his service... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSI0ZStEnfw&feature=related]YouTube- Israel Kamakawiwo'ole'- Somewhere over the rainbow lyrics[/ame]

Thinking about the clutch.
MAINEAC replied to hig4s's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I got the Barnett same as Ruffy but I got 70K on mine... Barnett is the closest thing to bulletproof when it comes to clutches... I've been using Barnetts since the 70s... -
Vermont is the only state I know of that requires reflectors and I've rode over there without them and have never been bothered... Delaware you don't need a helmet nevermind stickers... http://www.bikersrights.com/states/50state.html

Why Reverse A Rear Tire When Put On The Front?
MAINEAC replied to GlennTuc's topic in The Darksiders
MY Bad... I was searching Metzelers USA site and was searching rear tire on front.. Not tyre... and that sidewall reading chart does'nt show up on the USA page... Well I guess I'll flip the whole wheel around and see how that goes... Thanks -

Well I guess if you could have posted a link to that it would be helpful... Cuz I just searched their site for a 1/2 hour and couldn't find any mention of what you're saying... -
Hey don your 1st mistake was letting a truck with a trailer pass you.... just sayin...

Why Reverse A Rear Tire When Put On The Front?
MAINEAC replied to GlennTuc's topic in The Darksiders
I just mounted a Metzeler rear tire on the front of my RSV and went with the arrow... so far so good... I remember reading about mounting it backwards but my tire guy said it wouldn't shed water right backwards so I went with the arrow... I'll keep you posted... I got about 2000 miles so far on it.. -
HEAT is the answer... I had mine up to 100 lbs... I did not go over 100 because of horror stories I read on the Delphi Darksiders Forum of tires blowing up over 100... Put it in front of a Monitor heater my Bro has at his shop with the part of the bead not seated closest to the heat and 20 mins later it popped... You could probably get the same results with a heat gun... Good luck..

LEAVIN' I’m packin my bags and I’m loadin up the bike I know I’m in for the roughest ride of my life I’ve ridden lots of miles, some in snow and some in rain But this time it’s different, I’m carryin pain I’m leavin a place for twenty years we called home But the kids are all older now so Daddy can roam For twenty five years my kids were my life Leavin them now cuts like a knife I can’t come back to this home any more I know it will be hard walkin out that door I’m sure that I need this and I hafta cowboy up But I know it’ll be hard sayin bye to the pup I’ll try to hold my tears when I say my good byes It’s hard ridin your bike with tears in your eyes I gotta be strong and I know that this is right I’ll make it down the road and cry out of sight Someone from above is showing me the way Not sure who it is but I know I gotta pray I hope I can find out who is my spiritual guide I came close before and it was during a ride Maybe while I ride it will all come to me clear All my questions will be answered and I’ll have no fear Only then can I come back to my Dear Sweet Jayne Who I know my leaving is causing her pain But I need to get stronger for Jaynie and Sean Hooking up when I’m weak just seems to be wrong I need to work out some stuff and to get my **** together And to give our love a chance at forever and ever I pray that my path is straight and true And then Baby I’ll come straight back to you

Thanks for the tip Don... But I don't think it applies to the RSs... In the sizes we're looking at don't have that technology as they are primarily 1960 to 70s era VW Bug tires... I could be wrong but I don't think so...

I think you expectations might be a little high... I got 19K out of my 1st Kumho but that was a lot of trailer towing and included CA grooved roads... Good luck with it...

I'm on my second car tire and i did a 14k mile trip pulling my piggybacker this year... Here's my take on this... The only wagging problem I had was one time when I was not running a car tire but an Avon Venom and I had too much weight in the back not too little tongue weight... I only moved my laptop from behind the wheels to over the trailer wheels... i hardly added any weight to the tongue but took away 30 lbs from behind the trailer wheels... no more sway... The answer is not "Not enough tongue weight" But "Too much weight behind the trailer wheels"

IMHO... There's nothing wrong with the Dunlop 404s I ran about 5 sets of them with an average of 12K miles... They're the cheapest tire out there so you can afford to swap them out as a set... i got about 1 1/2 rears to every front then started doing sets... Most available and handle good.. I had one set of Avons got lousy mileage 7500.. Hated them on wet roads.. will never buy them again.. I had 1 set of Elite 3s.. Got 14K out of the rear... still running the front... These handle well on dry and wet roads but I don't think they're worth almost double the price of the 404s for a few extra miles.. At 103K I just installed my 2nd car tire a Kumho Powerstar 758 165/80R-15... I got 19K out of the last one with the majority pulling a trailer... It handles well, and rides better than any MC tire... While running my 1st Radial CT I also ran a Bridgestone Radial front 150/80R-16 (I know I Know Bridgestones suck but the Vulcan 2000 guys loved them and I thought they're radials might be different) The Bridgestone were fine but wore out funny and were never run low... I think I'll try a Dunlop Radial on the front... I think it's a K-251... It's made for a Vulcan 2000 and the load range is a little lower but it's close and those V-2 are heavy too.

Everything's changed since March... Did a job with 160 ATMs to reprogram in GA, AL, and CA and squeezed in 3 weeks in FL including Daytona Bike Week and a few days in the Keys where me and my Bro partied like it was 1978 and did some snorkeling out on the Coral Reef.. I also did a day at The Laughlin River Run but it was 105 and no shade trees and the heat was starting to get to me and got to Leesburg Bikefest on the same weekend.. Anyways while riding through the desert on a bike with no name.. I did some soul searching and asked God to show me a sign that he exists... I get home and the Ol'Lady tells me she's moving to NH and that she wants a Divorce after 25 years (she's been talkin about it for like 3 years) ... I said "Yes!!! there is a God!!!" (I even went to church today for the 1st time in a long time) Then... I meet this hot sexy little 43 yo nurse down in NH.. Well you get the idea... Let's just say she restored my faith in womanhood and I now know that all women are not evil... Some are actually quite sweet... Ok I also dropped a lot of weight... I used to be 333 (or maybe that's as high as my scale went) and I'm down to 259 and shooting for 210 and I've cleaned up my act some... I'm also a happier person (some people here will be glad to hear that... ulessed there so pissed at me they won't even read this)... and other than a Stevie Wonder blind joke that rubbed me the wrong way (especially while or Founder is dealing with a potential loss of sight)... I think I've been pretty chilled here... For the record Stevie played at my High School in 1974 when I was a Junior during school we had an assembly and there was Stevie and a piano playing "Very Supersticious" and about 10 other songs and it was awesome... I wasn't even a big SW fan at the time but I was amazed a guy could be so talented while overcoming a handicap that I'm glad I don't have... Needless to say I became a big fan.. Well if anyone's still reading this drivel.. I've met some good people on this site and look forward to seeing them again...

I just got an e-mail from Motorcycle.com with this report... No mention of the Venture or RS line at all but the new Stratoliner Deluxe looks pretty cool... Looks like they ripped off the Corbin fairing but the bags don't look as good as Corbin's...
