  1. Agree with all of that. Would be shocked, and pissed if it is loud. The old Venture was pretty quiet so I am hopeful. There was someone that made pipes for the old ones that were really cool. Like the old time street rod setup where you flipped a valve and they went from quiet to pretty much straight pipes. They were electric, could flip the switch while going down the road.
  2. Different strokes I guess. I had side loading on my last one and preferred it. A bit harder to pack and organize, but once done you could get to anything easier. But, it's air cooled. That is a concern. That is a big motor to not have liquid cooling. It may approach Harley heat levels which is unacceptable.
  3. More than my current bike can hold, that is for sure. Those side bags are huge.
  4. After having both, I prefer the belt. Mobile One.
  5. That little corner of Alabama you will hit on the Trace is a massive speed trap. Especially the last 10 miles before the river going north.

  7. Even without the E there are still no school zones on PV in Seven Hills. Although there is no PV in Seven Hills without the E. I will neither confirm nor deny going to bike night last week.
  8. For the record, parts in. Charging 14.45 at idle like it always does. Aftermarket volt gauge looked normal for 25 miles. I will run it to work tomorrow but it is fine
  9. It would appear that I just replaced Casper with a small JavaScript runtime.

  11. @Casper 's leading. I'll be fine.
  12. @Casper Listen to this man, a quick detour off the BRP for a bit and then right back on and it goes epic. https://goo.gl/maps/3yNskA1LzQ62
  13. Contest ends Wednesday morning, 10am ish. Enter now, and enter often.
  14. I can only confirm that there are no school zones on E. Pleasant Valley Rd. in Seven Hills.
  15. I agree to that when I decide to do business with them. I did not agree to them giving it to the LEO's. And don't anyone start with 'who cares I have nothing to hide'. You have something to protect here, your privacy. It is yours, and lots of people way better than us died to give it to us. Don't be a dick and give it up.
  16. It's a digital record, being held by a private third party.
  17. No, they do not need a warrant to follow you because you have no expectation to privacy when traveling around town. Do they need a warrant to search a place where you have an expectation of privacy? God damn right they do. And god damn right I have an expectation of privacy from the man on my digital world. My data at my bank is private and requires a warrant. God damn right my data at Verizon requires one too. Probable cause and a warrant are easy to get, no excuse not to. Why do you hate America and the Constitution?
  18. I was pulling into their parking lot when you posted this. Got 'em. They look real good, not used too much so I am very hopeful. Will put one on the second I get home tonight of course. It was quite the operation, two giant metal barns in the middle of a corn field. Peeps stripping wrecked bikes all over the place, more peeps entering the parts on ebay, and even more peeps shipping stuff. I expect @Casper will come up with some lame reason at the last second to not stay in Boone as part of his plan to ditch me. So keep me posted please. Yea, we both need a few drinks.
  19. It's ok every few years. Edit from above: BTW, you need to plan for gas stops. There are not any on the BRP, you have to hop off.
  20. I never said that at all, always planned to take the BRP with you peeps. I will take my other route on the way home. BTW, you need to plan for gas stops. There are not any on the BRP, you have to hop off.
  21. You get extra apple pie moonshine too btw.
  22. Looks like @2talltim is making his own twisties in the parking lots.
  23. Yea, I had to get the info from Matt. I think Casper is trying to ditch me. Same plan for me, mostly slab to Boon Wednesday, going to try and hit 16 from Beckley to Marion if I get out of work at a decent time. FYI, I am peeling off in Cherokee and heading to Franklin for Blue Crab Bisque on Thursday. Let me know if they actually pick a hotel in Boone.
  24. Why am I continually left out of this?
  25. ...any knowledge of this incident. http://www.cleveland.com/seven-hills/index.ssf/2017/06/man_arrested_for_reckless_oper.html#incart_river_index
