    Every tire I've ever had replaced on a bike, I've removed the wheel and taken it to the place I got the tire. To me, it was the simplest way to do it.

    thanks for the info... yes, my '87 will sit until spring and I'll sell it then. No, I haven't taken it for a ride...yet LOL but I will if the crappy rain stops...only downside of the '08 is it's that Grey color and I really don't care for that. I did some digging and found '08 "demo's" selling for between $13k & $14k in the US so it appears the one here is priced right. I'd grab it if it was the red & black color!

    Speaking of shoulders, it's a common practise in Alberta for drivers to drive on the shoulder to let cars pass them on the left, even if they're doing the speed limit. Personally, I will not pass one of those drivers, especially if there are oncoming cars (unless the road is straight and clear) because, the shoulder is not always maintained and there could be potholes or dips or something else causing that driver to either brake in a panic or swerve back into "his" lane..thus causing an accident. I don't believe that practise is actuall legal in Alberta either but many Alberta drivers do that...even when they go to other provinces.

    erm... I'm thinking that rule "illegal to pass on the right" is meant for times when a guy passes another vehicle by driving on the shoulder to do so.

    Did you use wooden or paper ones and at what distance? I'm curious about your scores ie, say, out of 10, how many lit up that you hit?

    I may be mistaken but to me it looked like the trunk lid had had some major repairing done (from the inside shot of it...looked like a lot of plastic repair in the corners)...

    Better hide that penny.... the tax man will be wanting it! We are so burdened with taxes on our fuel...it's the "one" place where the Govn't can grab more money easilly whenever they want it. I don't know about you up there but we've recently been hit with a "carbon tax" ... sheesh gimme a break evun! They come up with a name, spend a ton of money brainwashing us, and we pay, pay, pay!

    I believe these bikes are around $22000 when they first hit the showroom. They had this particular bike advertized a week ago at $17,900 (I think it was this one but maybe not coz they didn't specify it was a demo then)

    The '06 RSMV I'm looking into is posted here on the site.

    Brian... we'd probably be able to do that trip but... let's forget about the TeePee... reminds me too much of my last relationship (she's a native) LMAO!!! (what a bad scene that was for a year and a half).. hehe
  12. SilvrT
    It's doubtful we'll make it but things can change. I am taking the whole month of June off so won't have any extra holiday time coming after that. As for a teepee... heck, been there..done that too LOL

    My concern about buying a demo is how it was ridden during the various "demo's" it was on. Some people will drive the crap out of these things. Yes, it has warranty but if anything is wrong, then I'd be the one inconvenienced while it's being fixed.

    A local dealer has an '08 RSV for $15,988. This is a demo bike with 4000 km and first service done. Wondering what your thoughts are about this? Is buying a demo risky? Does the price sound good (seems to be for here in Canuck land). If anyone's wondering, we've ruled out buying a new '09 Ultra... just can't work it into our budget so, the search is on for a really good RSV. I found an '05 on Van Island (asking $14000) and an '06 RSMV in Calgary (asking just under $14) that I'm looking into. Considering the price of the '08 and what the guys are asking for the other 2, .... the '08 is tempting.

    hmmmmmmmmm... now you made me think... maybe that's why I'm bald today! :rotf: Answer: 1. I don't recall if I pulled any out but if I did, it musta grew back! 2. Come to think about it...NO!!

    I used to do Tae Kwon Do but even just thinking about it tires me out! Good for the kids tho...very good in many ways.

    This is the only group I'm "social" in.... seriously tho... I don't see a need for more than what we have in that regard.

    I lived in Ontario when I was a kid...I got my indoctrination to the world of motorcycles when I was 10 when my cousin took me for a ride on his 1950 something Harley. That was the kind with the big, spring seat. Well, he hit some bumps and I wasn't hanging on...I musta flew 2 feet straight up in the air...I grabbed a big handful of his hair on the way up to keep myself from flying off the back ... well, that was a blast man! I was hooked from that day on! Good thing there were NO LAWS then LOL!

    sounds to me like another bored politician looking for something to do and get a little recognition (albeit BAD)... dumb, dumb, dumb... kids under the age of 14 are competing in motocross for gawd sake!

    I have almost 100,000 miles on my '87 and had over that on my '85 when I sold it... neither show any ill effects such as internal crank, cam, piston, etc problems. I wouldn't be even thinking about this until it's nearing 200,000 (or more).

    I check mine before every "longer" ride... such as last Aug when we went to VWIV. I never checked them during that trip until after we got home 3000 miles...there was almost zero air pressure loss.

    As was already mentioned but just to clarify a bit (I did this with mine)... make careful note of where the screws come from and after you remove something, put the screws back into their threaded clip. Some screws, although initially look the same, are slightly different...bigger head, larger diameter, shorter, longer, etc. Those that are fairly obvious, put them in baggies and label the baggie accordingly. Take pics...it helps. Make notes of what parts come off first, second, etc so that when putting things back together, you have a clearly defined "reverse order".

    I'm going for the "Black Pearl" color (if I can get it..there's one left).. I'm also adding Screaming Eagle mufflers, fairing mount mirrors, and higher, swept-back handlebars for a better riding position plus, I may also add on the driver's back rest...might as well load 'er up with a few extra's that I really want and have it all included in the deal. Now let's see....chrome you say?? LOL OMG, next thing I know, it'll be $34,500... YIKES!!
