  1. That reminds me... and not meanin to hijack this but there's also a volume control for the passenger but it doesn't seem to make any difference in the sound coming out of the speakers ... is it only for headset communication or what?
  2. Annie .... :rotf: :rotf: good comeback!
  3. uhhhhhhh... why do you ask? ... are you planning on trying it? :rotf:
  4. heh ... even a car gets it's name misconscrued by someone... http://autos.ca.msn.com/news/canadian-press-automotive-news/article.aspx?cp-documentid=22011666
  5. uhhhhhhhhh... so are you tellin me that when I was "Cruisin" ... I was actually "Mantherin"? ????????????? watch out girlz... I'm on the prowl! errr the Manther err..... oh ..eh?
  6. ha!... I wondered about that... and then I met you... (jus ribbin an I gotta be nice coz you live too close LOL)
  7. That's a "Cruiser" Had you known that 15 yrs ago....
  8. I just got an email from news@starmotorcycles.com announcing the 2010 Star lineup. What's interesting about it is... it went into my JUNK mail folder!! :sign20:
  9. my mom always called me Butch when I was a kid .... dunno how that'd go over today... guess it's a matter of interpretation. And that applies to numerous words and statements... the folks who have a problem with such things are the ones with the problem... up to them to deal with it.
  10. Well!!!! I sure don't have a rebuttal to that! I do know Texas isn't the biggest and Alaska is the ONLY state that is bigger than BC. Well, I guess ya got me now huh? ... you have 1 state bigger.... WE have 2 provinces bigger! oh jeez ... look what I'm starting .... I think I need something to do! LOL
  11. 1347 miles from 1 border to the other in BC. BC's longest river is 850 miles BC 364,764 sq miles Texas 261,797 sq miles They say "everything's bigger in Texas" because Texas is so big but in comparison to BC, it ain't. Sorry, just had to "rain on your parade" with a little razzin
  12. Get this... great little utility http://www.esbconsult.com/esbcalc/esbunitconv.htm
  13. Here's what I did for switches.... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31030&highlight=harley+switch
  14. That's a lot of miles in just over a year on a bike. I used to do a fair amount of travelling as part of my work years ago and that was about normal mileage for that. I can't imagine that amount of driving on a bike in the same time frame. I got my scoot last Nov with 1300 kilometes on it.... it now has almost 18,000 so let's average that off at just over 10 thousand miles. Didn't really go on many long distance trips but almost every weekend we were racking up 2-4 hundred miles.
  15. Nice job!!! geeeesh ... now I got another winter project!
  16. Being the "skeptic" that I am, I find it hard to understand how they figgure silver is the most popular. Consider this ... very few people "factory order" a vehicle. the factory elects to use silver as it's predominant color they flood the market with predominantly silver cars wouldn't that suggest that more silver cars are sold thereby causing it to be deemed "most popular"? Ford trucks for years have been deemed the "most popular" ... why? because Ford produces (or once did) seven times as many trucks as anyone else. Secondly, Ford credit (at one time) would finance pretty much anybody.
  17. Silver... especially metallic silver... one of the most difficult colors to spray paint. Solid white... probably the easiest to paint but requires more coats to hide other colors (except silver LOL) Red ... probably the most difficult to mix.
  18. Us "older" folks say "they don't make 'em like they used to..." but in Yamaha's case for the RSV it's "we make 'em like we used to.."
  19. Redd Foxx
  20. hey Woody.... where did ya get that cig lighter?? that looks cool!
  21. ah yes... good old Clem Kadiddlehopper LOL And who remembers Charlie Farquharson ?
  22. I have a Sirius Stratus 5 unit. Got a complete car mount kit. Works great.... rarely have a signal loss except in tunnels, etc. I mounted the antenna on the dash of the bike. Here's some pics
  23. I know there's a number of posts on this but I did mine slightly differently so thought a fresh thread was in order. Firstly tho, thanks to all the others who have posted info about this topic. From it, I was able to complete the wiring very easily and your posts gave me ideas about mounting my horn in a different location, plus retain the stock horn. As you'll see from the pics, I mounted my horn just aft of the passenger footrest. I made a small bracket to fit on the rear footrest mounting point. I put a bend into it to hook underneath the footrest bracket soas to counter the weight of the horn as there's only one bolt holding the bracket. Pics are in order of completed project --> creating the bracket. OH man that sukkah is loud! Question.... there's a small plastic air intake attachment on the bottom of the horn. Looks like a person should connect a tube up to it and route it somewhere. Any suggestions on what the rest of you have done with this??
  24. Are you referring to the ones on the bottom edge of the fairing? If so .... I'd suggest that sheet tint will not work very well due to the number of compound curves on them. Unless of course they've made some changes to the sheet tint over the past 10 yrs.
  25. OOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your "narrative" makes me hurt!!! FYI, you're not a "Klutz" ... someone else on this site has already claimed that title ... For pain I have a rule of thumb... (Ibuprofen aka Advil for anything above the shoulders and Tylenol for anything below) ... generall works for me. hope ya get well soon!
