What he said. Unless it's what she says that over rides what he said...

This is just a guess, and others will eventually chime in, but my guess, my assumption, my gut feeling, mothers intuition, a hunch as well as last years fortune cookie told me it was channel 29. But I can't be 100% on this...

Donny/FREEBIRD/bossman, Do what will make things easier for you. We all know this site runs because of you. Do your thing!!

Have you considered running a 3.5mm jack from the cassette input from inside the fairing and run it as long as you need/ want? Mine stopped on the L side of the handlebars and I place a sony MP3 player into it. If I remember correctly it ran off aux on the controls, but worked just as a plug and play. This way you can disconnect the CD player for more saddlebag room and not even mess with the pin connector in any fashion. The aux jack wiring gets tucked neatly inside the fairing. Possible win/ win. Just my .02 Someone correct me if I'm not 100% accurate on this

Sorry for all your headaches Don, what a bummer when it SHOULD take X long and for dumb reasons it's 3X longer... After some serious online reasearching, I came across a name and number. It may not be exactly who you want but perhaps they can lead you in the right direction. Ask for. Jane. 867-5309. Let us know how that goes... :fingers-crossed-emo PS, I know you know its all in fun,so please don't go all hardcore HD on me now....

I for one find that statement to be totally and utterly preposterous as well as inaccurate...

Well Karen, I understand and appreciate you looking into these dates for us. We are hosting sunn here for 7-8 days and prior to that the in laws, all leading up to that date. She may want some alone time...That said, please don't pick any dates based on KC availability. IMO, it should be based on the most people available. I already see some aren't available for the 15. So, perhaps you may want to pick an alternate date in case this doesn't work out for KC. Yes, pick whatever date or keep this as you deem fit...

I agree. For me it's to unwind, unplug from the world, it's normal procedures, problems, the daily routine. I get to relax, listen to music, listen to the road. Take in the sights, sounds and smells.mit balances me. Makes me realize there are things that I take for granted. Make me stop focusing on petty nonsense. It sort of "frees" me for how many miles I ride. I am able to just chill out and relax. When I come home, I am more relaxed, more in focus, more even keeled to handle the daily grind....

Let me check to see what's going on with me. I know Kristen was talking about heading to Orlando for a weekend. I believe that's the one...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIPPY!!!... Enjoy your special day! :Happy Birthday: -
Please be safe and hope all is well. Send all the lovelies to me here near Tampa. I'll watch over them until things calm down...

From the pics and video, didn't seem like it had any sort of protection from rain or bugs. Also, it says patent pending. Not sure if it'll get to manufacturing. Again, for me, I'm concerned about the rain or bugs.

Don and the rest brought up many points as to why or why not. For me, the answer is no. Here is why. For the time I had the RSV, which I sold to my brother in NY, and the bike is still with me! I LOVED riding it, and still enjoy it. However, I don't like it being top heavy. I'm also a bit shorter than most, therefore I would already start with the lowering or adjustments. What I like about the RSV, as Eck pointed out, is they do LOOK like a motorcycle. It's unique, people wonder what is that? They are as reliable as a slant 6 dodge dart. But, I am not one of those tinkering guys. I find that yamaha RSV has slowly been passed by. New technology, features, even something simple as LED lights for safety aren't OEM. That is Yamaha's fault for not keeping up. The bike itself, that motor, drive train etc is not I'm against, they always get rave reviews and FREEBIRD was instrumental in helping me decide I should get one. But my tastes, and times have changed. I wanted to test myself with a GW. Fuel injected, cruise that doesn't bog down, reverse!!! Wow. The RSV is top heavy, but road worthy, eating mile after mile. The GW I believe does also but has more modern accessories. At this time, no thanks. Now...if the new redesigned RSV has fuel injection, maybe a reverse, some LED lights, then I might, MIGHT think about it. I like the look. But as I get older, I don't wanna struggle with a heavier bike that sad to say, pales in comparison handling wise as the wing...

Losing weight is not necessarily the correct indicator that one is healthy. Blood sugar 90 or under is considered normal. A1C 6.1 or under is what most doctors are looking at. Sometimes people go from on extreme to the next. That also throws off your body.

top 10 reasons why HD, GW & BMW riders wont wave...

Puc is one of a kind....miss ya buddy... -
Before you purchase, PLEASE see if you can go get an extensive test ride. I took a 2011 out, before getting the RSV. I have found, as others that these bikes retain a lot of excessive heat, which makes it very uncomfortable for the rider. kawasaki decides to put an after market, fan/cowl kit that is not under warranty and the price is $400, and on top of that, there is not any favorable reviews. Some people, also complain about the thin trunks and saddlebags. I guess comparing to HD. They have front speakers, but again, extra for the rear plus installation. The handling was sweet and the shifting nice. It is liquid cooled, so that helps. The previous owner of my now new goldwing actually sold his to me because his wife wanted a voyager. Last time I spoke to him, a few weeks ago, she was miserable. I own a Vulcan 1500 and love it. I think kawi took the cheap way out, in trying to compete. The most annoying gripe is the immense heat the pipes put out. I test rode about 15 miles and I felt like I had 2nd degree burns on my right calf. I'm not saying the bike is a bad bike, it's most likely very reliable as most vulcans are. Mine is 15 years old and still rocks with no issues. However, please do yourself justice by weighing out options on the voyager. Overall I am disappointed in kawasaki and their inability to provide a touring bike that is just as reliable, safe and fun to ride as the other models....

+ 1 Stepping away and perhaps seeing things differently may be what you need. I don't know you personally but those who replied I know and that means I'm here for ya as well...

I am certainly interested but need to get back with you. With start time at 430, and being 240 miles south of me, this may be a tall order. But ya never know
