  1. Permit me to ask - what would happen to the couple on bike #3 if they got hit by the deer and came unstuck. Are they dressed for the slide, or merely dressed for the ride? A good set of leathers will beat a cotton shirt anytime when it meets the blacktop. Just my 2c worth.
  2. Just curious Monty. Can we have a look at your handy work? Cheers.
  3. Nice line up!

    Accident

    Accident? That was no accident. I'd call it out and out negligence. That makes it a crash!
  5. How low can you go? !
  6. I've heard of nose studs, ear studs, tongue studs, even navel studs - but ball studs? You're making my eyes water just thinking about it! :rotf:
  7. My 2004 RSV is fitted with the Voyager. (See avatar.) Bike has stock pipes - no problems at all.
  8. Up the top of the page is a 'Community' tab. Drop down there and do a search. From memory you can somehow filter it for Oz but I don't remember how. Perhaps somebody else can help? Don?
  9. ... And I'm still here!
  10. I own a 2004 RSV. My insurance company knows I own a 2004 RSV. My CTP insurer knows I own a 2004 RSV. My local Yammie bike shop knows I own a 2004 RSV. My VIN tells me I own a 2004 RSV. So why in heaven's name does the state government's motor vehicles' department insist I own a 2003 RSV. I've argued with them until I'm blue in the face that my bike is 2004 model but they won't hear of it. Mob of idiots!
  11. I bought one of those three way 12V outlets with a USB outlet incorporated, and mounted it to the top of my front brake hydraulic reservoir with double-sided tape. Wrapped the lead around my bars and across to the 12V outlet in the fairing. I power my Garmin SatNav and CrashCam from the three way. Could use the USB for either of them but just doesn't pump out enough juice I'm afraid.
  12. Don't be a sook. Show 'em what ya made of!
  13. Oooooh Taters. That's just a little too far below the belt. I represent (sorry - resent) what you said.
  14. When I bought my 2004 RSV in 2007, it came with ALL the original bits and pieces including the owners' manual. Funny thing that. Like most stuff I buy, even if I think I'm even half familiar with it, I sit and read the manual. That's why they provide the bl00dy things so you can become familiar with the product. Sheesh. Imagine the nightmare I had when I bought my VW Tiguan. The manual with that is like something for the space shuttle - but I read it - and cannot believe some of the technology they crammed into that vehicle. I love it.
  15. Dress for the slide - not for the ride!
  16. I still reckon it would be much more simple if there were no firearms - anywhere - except with LEOs. But then again that's just my view, and obviously because I'm from Down Under a very biased one. In the past week here we've had three - that's right, only three - shooting deaths and they were all gang-related. Bikie turf wars. Illegal hand guns. I see that as justifiable use of a weapon to rid society of society's outlaws. Just my two cents' worth prior to being howled down, once again, by fastidiously loyal NRA members. [i bet this post doesn't last 24 hours.]
  17. Hey. Not fair. I posted that video today in 'A Visual Challenge'.
  18. Okay all you folk in North America, here's a challenge for you (and a curiosity thing for me.) Who can tell me where this was filmed? Sure looks like fast roads. http://m.wimp.com/motorcyclistdeed/
  19. Wow. Good size. Congrats. My number five is due in a couple of weeks. Nothing like being a grand dad!!! from all sides.
  20. Didn't think I recognized her! William Shatner - yes. Leonard Nimoy - yes. This one - no.
  21. Would be nice to fit, but unfortunately it would be illegal in Australia. Turn indicators can only be amber. Red for tail lights and brakes of course, and white only for forward facing lights except for turn indicators. The amber front running lights I see on cars and bikes in US movies make me smile.
  22. Does that mean you're back home or in Oregon?
  23. Hear hear!
  24. I'm sure there have been previous posts indicating that buying premium fuel is wasting money. I ran it for a while and noticed absolutely no improvement in mileage or performance. Back to standard unleaded with NO ETHANOL!
  25. Damn Annie. See what ya gone went and done. Started a civil war in Canada! BAD GIRL!!!!!
