Wouldn't bother trying to pinch our oil. It's too damned expensive. I'm paying $1.50 A LITRE. Don't know how many litres in a US gallon - but go figure!

Haven't you blokes learned yet? If ya go the long way, you miss all the water. :rotf:

There ya go. See! I knew if I asked, someone would have the answer. Shows how much I look at the tops of my bolts. Must work on the risers tomorrow and let y'all know the outcome. As comfy as the bike is, as is, I feel that a little more height will help me. I'm 6'4" tall without boots, and wear Johnny Rebs that pack about 2" on my height. Check these boots out.

Left it at the mardi gras!

Sorry Gary. I'm confused! What's the difference between a 'riser' and a 'riser extension'? I have what is depicted in MAINEAC'S post. When I look at the top of my clamps there is nowhere to grab the tops of the bolts. No bolt heads and no hex heads. Just smooth and recessed. Perhaps if I too a foter and posted it so you can see?

Hi Margaret. Bought a digital video camera that I can mount to the bike to record some rides. Bought my wife a 9ct gold fob chain for her up-coming birthday (super special price through my brother who's a jeweller). Haven't bought anything for the bike. It doesn't need anything! Put the rest in the bank - for the time being. But I'm thinking on it!

Will you get a look at the size of that Guardian Bell hanging beneath the front of the engine? Man, that oughta keep ALL sorts of bad spirits at bay.

So - to fit the Baron's risers, is it just a matter of getting in under the bars and undoing the bolts, or does the fairing have to come off as well? Thanks guys.

Thanks Peg. Another shot. This is the entire crew prior to our Saturday ride to Texas (Queensland). Five brothers, and from left to right in order of age. Yep, I'm the eldest (and best looking) on the left.

Hey Brad, The weather was perfect for 4 days and 2,500kms. Any time you're ready to cross the big creek, let me know. I'll keep and eye out for you. Steve

Greetings all. Wanted to share a quick shot one of my brothers took of me during our long weekend trip before Easter. Five brothers and 5 bikes. For the Aussies, this is on the New England Highway just north of Armidale NSW.

Didn't tell y'all that a couple of weeks ago I was at my local club watching the Keno numbers coming and going on the screen. Now I know this game is all about luck and chance, but I started to see a trend in numbers clumping together in blocks. So I thought - "What the heck. See what change I have in my pocket and pick 6 numbers. You never know." Found $3, so I took 3 $1 games with the same 6 numbers for each game. Blocked 27 28 36 37 38 and 39. You're never going to guess what happened. You got it. $1,800 there and then. Spent it already. That was about the third time I'd ever played the game, and haven't been tempted since.

C'mon you guys. I thought the idea was to ride somewhere to HAVE a cup of coffee, not GET one and ride off trying to drink it. Should be made illegal.

Lost control - bought another bike,,,,,,

Hey switch. We just got rid of our so-called mis-informed government, when the more mis-informed majority voted in the Labor Party. (Don't get me started on Aussie politics!) Believe it or not, our new Prime Minister is the clown who was shown all 'round the world throwing George Dubya a salute a week or so ago in Washington. Talk about embarrasing! And as for getting our guns back - I never lost mine. I have 12 legally registered firearms from .22 cal right up to 12 gauge. So there!

Ah - what an unbaised ambassador!

Hey hipshot. I would gather they were riding (sorry, standing beside their broken down) Harleys? If it was me I wouldn't even acknowledge their presence. Worked too long as an LEO (a 99%er) to even give such trash the time of day. My only reaction would be to quietly walk by, jump on my RSV, hit the starter and ride off with not so much as a nod, a wink or a royal wave.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII....................Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on a fine looking machine. Love to do it one day, but - - - -

GOOOOOooooooogled it. #1 hit for Yamaha Venture in Oz. I bought my bike on reputation, then started to find out if I really wanted it. HELL YEAH! Just you try and take if away from me!

Damn - don't that sound familiar?

I represent that comment! :rotf:

Well - you folks on the north side of the planet will complicate things for yourselves. Down under, on this fantastic island continent, Oz has the same land mass as the good ol' USofA but to make life a lot simpler we have only 6 states and 2 territories (same as a state). You can ride from one side of Australia to the other and only have to ride in 3 states. In fact, to ride from the east coast to the west coast you only pass through 1 state (other than the one you left from and the one you end up in). Makes a lot of things a lot easier. We have only one Police Force in each state (no city police or sheriff's departments etc) and there is a Federal Police Force - a bit like the FBI I suppose, that is responsible for Commonwealth laws governing the entire country. When we have federal elections the campaigns run for around 6 weeks. That's it. None of this grand-standing and spending of billions for nearly a year by would-be has-beens (hello Hillary!) trying to make it to the big house on the hill. Damn I love it when life is so simple.

Steve. I thought I could hear a distant rumble over there in the west.

Only in Australia. :rotf:
