Whine/Chirping - 2nd Gen vs 1st Gen
SilvrT replied to jryan's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
FYI... this '87 is my 2nd frst gen. 1st one was an '85. The '85 had a real bothersome whine in 4th & 5th around 3000 rpm... I rode that for 5 years...learned to live with it...worked the gearing soas I wasn't in that rpm a lot. My '87 doesn't whine but has a noise on deceleration... again..I'm learning to live with it. I love the 1st gen Venture and eventually will get a 2nd gen because I love the looks of them and the ride as well and for me, if what I buy has a whine, I'll learn to live with that too because there are just too many good things about these bikes IMHO. Yamaha VR's & RSV's ROCK! -
awww c'mon ... I'm ready fer ya!!

I heard about all this on the news yesterday.... and they say Vancouver (where I live) is the 2nd least happy place in all of Canada (for a major city). Finally I have a legitimate excuse for being so GRUMPY!!!

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had, forget your home address! In simple words ............ May 2008 be the best year of your life!!!

To heck with the kids... I'm gonna keep a close eye on this for myself!!

c'mon now... I know I ain't the only one who buys hisself a gift for xmas. Well, the wife and I decided to get a "common" gift...one that we both wanted and both can use so, we went out and bought a new 37" HDTV and a HD satellite receiver (we already have satellite TV). WOW! ... what a difference and, what a learning experience we went through before we settled on a specific TV brand/model. Then came the fun and games connecting everything (Satellite receiver, DVD player, Stereo system...) ... thos "sales people" don't tell ya everything and even though they seem knowledgeable, they don't always know everything either. I got the HDMI/DVI cable (coz the sales guy said I should)... but when I hooked it up (tried the s-video first) .... I had no sound! Great picture...no sound. Phoned the satellite tech support ... guy I got said I needed to turn the TV on before the SAT receiver so that a proper "handshake" could be made... well, that didn't work. Then I phoned the store where I bought the stuff... tech guy there wasn't sure why but said try shutting it all off. (I was at work during these calls so couldn't actually do anything). Got home, tried shutting off and starting TV first, then SAT receiver... no sound. Got on the phone with SAT tech again...went from tier one to tier two all the way to tier three support...they even downloaded a manual for the TV... and that's where it is obvious what was needed.... a simple $12 Audio 2-into-one cable that runs the audio from the SAT box to the single RCA/DVI audio jack on the back of the TV. THAT info was not in the paper manual that came with anything and it's obvious none of the tech guys knew what was needed without themselves referring to a "book". This process took over an hour and a half! Well, we're very happy with it now but this whole thing proves a point... the more "high-tech" things become, the more knowledge a person has to absorb and ya sure can't rely on nobody tellin ya simple, clear, layman's instructions no more.

not really... took me all of 30 seconds to find that answer in wiki.answers.com, copy/paste it into my post. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

because a chick starts out in the egg as a little speck of blood clot attached to the yolk and the white and as it develops the phoetus consumes the contents for food until ready to hatch so when the egg is to be eaten by a person there is no chicken growth at all its just food

I hardly ever remember what I got or gave the xmas past or birthday past but it never fails that I get caught when she says "you mean you don't remember getting me that...."!!! However, I do remember getting my own pool que a few years back. I remember this for two reasons... the first is because I always wanted one and the second is because I will never forget that Bi#ch I was living with at the time that gave it to me! Dang but that que works good....I sure love to break the rack with it coz I think about her when I do!

Dang that wud be fun!!! We don't get a lot of snow around here (at least not at this sea level altitude) but we got some a week ago so here's what we did..... dang!!!... I got so wrapped up in the fun of it, I almost ruined the chili by overcookin it that day! The next day it warmed up and all the snow was gone and Mr Snowman was nuthin but a lump of wet snow on the ground, his hair, eyes, nose, and coat buttons just layin there in the grass...

The lookin is over...I found a really nice 1990 Dakota "Sport" ... a real "cream puff" coz it's been in the original family since new. First the father owned it, then he sold it to his daughter and her hubby. It was a local commuter for the daughter. Only 130,000 Kms which is nothin for a 17 yr old truck. Here's the guy's ad... _______________________________________________________ 1990 Dodge Dakota Club Cab Sport 3.9 litre, Automatic Overdrive V6 engine. Locally owned (B.C.) 130,400 original kms. New Michelin LTX tires, Monroe Sensatrac shocks, radiator, Raybestos brakes, calipers, drums & rotors. Leer Canopy with sliding windows included. Trailer hitch towing package. Features: Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Alpine C.D. player, Flip up rear seats with storage compartment, Sport floor in box, Sliding rear window, fog lights, full size spare tire. Well maintained, all receipts on file and Air Care. _________________________________________________________ Now, I spent a lot more than I wanted to but frankly, there was absolutely nothing out there even close for the same kinda bucks and anything that was less money was junk also. I figgure I got a decent deal on this baby. Thanks for all the input ya'll Here's a few pics ...

Of course... that's the imported beer from the USA!
-
Ah yes...but at least it is REAL BEER !
-
well, you'll never have to worry about him bringing it back if something goes wrong! ... but that never was a concern anyway.... it's a 1st gen! How does he go about crating and shipping it?
-
Thanks Margaret ..... most of what I am looking at is around 1992-1995 and to be honest, I'm really hoping to find a really nice Dakota extended cab with the V8 in it. Even a high miler as long as it's been looked after and most major compnents that would fail have been done already...if the price is right, I'd go for it.

That '72 Chev is gorgeous....I've always wanted one of those and also a 64 Chev p/u and that reminds me...I forgot about one truck I had and it was the coolest "sleeper" there ever was.... it was a plain jane '61 Chev p/u, long box...light green (faded). But it had a '64 Olds 394 (I think) engine and hydra-matic 4 speed auto (I think that's what it was). Dang could that thing FLY! and talk about smoke the rubber or what!! And as I think about it... my memory is comin back even more coz I remember having a 63 or 63 Ford...one of them integrated cab/box shorty's and when I had my body shop, I had a 66 Merc with a 352 in it that I fixed all up and sold, not to mention the 55 Ford that I bought after a guy rolled it and then I rebuilt it and sold it. I forget about some of these vehicles coz I've had so danged many over the years and those three I never really drove...just fixed up and sold. I should post some pics of the 66 Merc... it went from a beat up farm truck to a cool custom and also the 55 Ford.
