Decals are ordered, paid for and on the way. I should have them in 10 days and will get them right out to you. Please get your orders placed to help me defray the initial outlay of cash. See this thread for ordering information. I had to order quite a few to keep the price down to where it was so any of you who can order and pay now will be appreciated. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/venturerider-merchandise/39088-venturerider-domed-decals.html

I just heard from a friend of mine and then saw some pictures on the news; looks like Tuscaloosa got nailed pretty good. Luckily my friend is okay, she was not home when it ripped through but she still has not been able to get back to her house. My initial thought was that I hope that all of our members in that area are okay, and I do think that, but really - I hope that everyone else is able to pull through as best as possible...

I had posted on the welcome forum, but it was suggested I move my questions here. I just purchased a 1997 XVZ13AT Royal Star Tour Classic. I was always tinkering and playing with my old ride (97 Honda Shadow VLX), and plan to do so with the new one. My initial problem is that the guy I bought it from had nothing more than a single key for it, no manuals, tool kit, or anything. I don’t even know what grade oil or an oil filter number for the first change. So two initial questions to get me started: 1) I’ve seen at least 2 versions of printed service manuals and 3 versions of electronic service manuals and am looking for recommendations - both good and ones to steer clear of. Also, any good sources – used is fine. 2) The only project that is a priority is changing the pipes. The bike has performance pipes on it that, well, are too loud for me. Maybe I’m getting to old, but I’ve got to change them. I haven’t looked closely at the pipes to tell you the brand, but my initial feeling is to replace them with a complete set of used original pipes. Anyone know of any good sources? I haven’t really seen anything on E-Bay, this forum, or anywhere else I’ve looked. Anyone upgrade and looking to sell their originals? Thanks for any recommendations on either!

My son Sam was riding Jan's bike (Suzuki GS650) to work last when it developed a front end wobble he could get back under control. Considering what the result could have been, the road rash, broken collar bone and shoulder blade is not to bad. The helmet and leather jacket did a good job of protecting him and the short also performed as expected - NADA!! I suspect that the front tire went flat on him for some reason and caused the initial problem. I'll be contacting the towing company today to see if it's repairable or if I have a bike to part out. If it's beyond repair, the banker says I can't buy her a replacement until the debt ratio goes down. Dave
