  1. I immediately sent that to my wife!
  2. ummmm are you referring to a 1st gen Venture?
  3. I bought a Corbin for my RSMV ... it hurt my butt and back so much I could hardly finish a 5 hr ride ... sold it and went back to stock (not the pillow top). Even that stock RSMV seat would start to cause me butt and back problems after a long day (8 hrs or more). Now, this Vic seat.... wow! I can ride 10, 12 hrs in a day and feel fine.
  4. Why does Microsoft have the world by the balls? Because of this kind of B/S, propeganda, and brainwashing.
  5. This one has bugged me for many years. I always thought the lyric was "very customersy" ... WTF kind of a word is "customersy" I thought.... On the day I first met Nina (my wife), we went to a bar and they had kareoke and someone was singing the song by Gerry and the Pacemakers. I finally heard the actual words. Nina and I laffed and laffed over that. Ferry Cross the Mersey
  6. 2 inches thick ... 5 min each side down low on high ... then let 'er sit for 10 up high on low Medium RARE ! ..... ... coz this method is nuffin but overcooked cow!
  7. Top sirloin Strip for me
  8. You misunderstood (I think) .... the RSTD (which is good lookin) with the Indian motor (which is good lookin according to you) ... would make a really good lookin bike. The rest of the Indian (excluding engine) is the one that's "butt fugly" (and IMO, FWIW, so is the Victory VISION) ... but I do like the style of the CCT. Now, if I could have the 2014 HD Ultra Limited with the Victory engine..... coz I do really like what they've done with the 2014 model HD (will a guy ever be completely satisfied?)
  9. Here's an idea then .... buy a new Indian and swap the motor into your RSTD ... then you'll have a really good lookin scoot (coz the rest of the Indian bike is butt fugly!)
  10. What OS are you running on the Poweredge 830? What Internet browser do you use? I ask that because if it's IE, you will find some sites that don't support older versions and newer plug-ins such as Adobe reader won't work, yet you might be required to use them under certain circumstances. The problem with Microsoft and some of these "plug-ins" is they are forcing us to upgrade. FWIW, I look after appx 50 workstations running WinXP in a Win Server 2008 domain environment. We are not running into any compatibility issues.... YET, but I know it won't be long. My 5 cents worth ... keep what you got for as long as you can. As long as you have good firewall and anti virus, I would't be too concerned. As for the hackers and virus creators, really... I doubt they are going to focus on WinXP users because that following is dwindling rapidly so where's the payoff? Besides, it's not the OS that's protecting you when you have a firewall and a good A/V.
  11. Corrections: It does have ABS There is a kit available to replace the cable clutch to hydraulic. It takes 3-5000 miles to break these engines in. They are more powerful than a Venture (bhp=88.6, Tq-105.5 @ 4750 rpm). Add appx $300 worth in high-flow air filter and timing wheel and they'll leave a Venture far behind. Throttle by wire isn't such a great thing IMO. The lid gap isn't on all and is a warranty fix.
  12. I've had my Victory CCT for almost a year now. Right from the beginning I found it to be the most comfortable and best balanced bike I've ever owned. I've put in several long days on it and have never been butt-sore or tired. Every bike has their "quirks" and some a guy can live with, some not. The Vic is no different. Engine sounds noisy. That is because of it's design and the fact that it is solid mounted and is actually part of the frame. I modded the mufflers for more sound and the engine sounds no longer bother me. Shifting is clunky, especially 1st, 2nd, 3rd up or down. This quietens out after you get a few thousand miles on it and you learn how to best shift it. Power wise, they seem lacking in the lower rpm's, especially during breakin. Add a high-flow air filter and an Adjustable timing Wheel and it's a different bike. For me, this Vic is by far the best bike I've owned. [ATTACH]82019[/ATTACH]
  13. Up here in CanuckLand we call 'em Prairie Oysters. Just like oysters in the shell from the ocean, we shuck 'em and huck 'em down the ole hatch. eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! grosse! LOL
  14. hmmmmmmm.... now that makes me wonder if the voices in my head might be behind this phenomenon. :scratchchin:
  15. Does this happen to you? Sometimes when I wake up, I have a song floating around in my head. Not always the same one either. How does that happen? This morning's song .... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiGFZUnJgqU]Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife (Live 1970) - YouTube[/ame]
  16. An oldy but still hilarous .... That all came out before we heard of Cialis. Apparently Coka-Cola picked that one up and their new drink is called .... well, just add a letter "c" in the appropriate place and you guessed it... LOL
  17. Moron!

  19. Actually, it's only here on the southern "Wet" Coast and lower mainland where there's little to zero snow. Interior areas are getting their fair share of it. Heck, even our local ski hills are suffering from lack of snow when normally, they have tons of it.
  20. ya, what's all this talk about snow ... I ain't seen any for so long, I've almost forget what it looks like... Think I'll go for a ride now...
  21. ya, what's the joke here? Seems to me those "sutherners" haven't lernt a dang thang yet about Canader eh Snow? what's that?
  22. Current pricing for 2014 Electra Glide Ultra Limited up here is between 31,500 and 33,110 excluding taxes, etc. http://www.barneshd.com/default.asp?page=xNewInventoryDetail&id=509952&p=1&s=Year&d=D I really LOVE the changes they've made to these bikes. Had I not just bought this Victory last May, I think I'd be getting a new Harley this spring. As for them feeling light compared to an RSV ... heck, every bike out there feels lighter than an RSV
  23. When I was on the goldwing forum, there was a guy there who lives in Alaska that rides all year long. In the winter, he puts studded tires on his Wing. And he's not alone either!
  24. To my kennel ...
