I was born and raised in the Mid-Hudson Valley, (Poughkeepsie, NY).   :thumb: :cool: :boozing:

The very first overnight rally I rode to was in Lake George, NY on a blue 1977 Yamaha RD400.   :thumb:

Lots of fond memories and the Adirondacks is a very beautiful area to ride around in the summer.! :thumb: :bow: :cool:

General Discussion / Re: Any issues with the 2015 V7 Special...?

Thanks for the input, all. 
I am going to have a look at the V7 today, equipped with a meter to check on
the voltage.  I will ask about any map upgrades as well.

Appreciate your help.

I wouldn't worry about the map if it runs well.

Other then needing to warm it up after a cold start my 2013 runs perfectly.

Even Beetle suggested I just leave it alone.

The other advantage of the tubular rack is many more choices for luggage. Many vendors still don’t have racks for the 2025s.

The tubular rack makes the v85tt unique without it the bike starts to look like the rest of the crowd.

Then there is the fact that it turns a one hour job into a one day job.

That's why I do my own, doing it when I want to rather than relying on someone else.

Plus saves me some money, what's not to like.

Great rally, love riding up there but not this year. I do miss when Keith was holding the rally at Smith College but I guess when he retired that was no longer an option.

I actually prefer the red rack over to Cast aluminum one.

‘It really ties that bike together’….Kind of like what a rug does for my living room.

I don't understand the "crawling around on the ground" comments in reference to the Coats 200. One lays the wheel down onto a pad to break the bead (requires bending over - oh my!  :grin:), then operates the lever at waist level to break the bead. <shrug> One must then bend over again to flip the wheel, repeat, bend over to pick the wheel up and put it on the changer. Oh the horrors.  :grin: :grin:
Well, the crawling around on the floor reference was meant for the rabid & max units, not the Coats or the bead breaker any of these manual changers. The Coats was my preference at the time I was looking for a manual changer but they were out of production and I wasn't able to locate anything used at that time.  And, bending over is an issue for me since I no longer have a "young" back (boo hoo, woe is me).  Yeah, I can bend at the waist but straightening back up is difficult for me, as is stooping down to pickup everything I drop on the floor :laugh: 

Age has nothing to do with it, I just don't like working on the floor. Heck, I put the bike on lift to check the tire pressure  :thumb:
Me either but haven't been motivated enough to put the bike on the lift to check TP.
I don’t find the Coats 200 I have here at my home shop to be a “crawling on ground” inconvenience in any way, either.  I like it very much
Me either although I don't have a Coats
guzziart: "Although I'm not a fan of crawling around on the ground to do a tire like with the Max & Rabid." No reference to the coats in his comment??

I don't understand the desire to work at ground level, so I guess we agree to disagree. Personally, my days of working on the floor are over. I don't care if everyone else works in a hole in the ground in my world the work comes to me and my back is better for it. YMMV
Yeah, I didn't mean to come off as enjoying to work at "ground level" I don't.
