Good fot you DMAG, Spam is not good and we thank you

I second that! Thanks, great job!

WOW, 4000+ members!
And what a great group of 4000 (aside from the few spammers) we have here!! :beerchug:
And great job indeed on the de-spaminating you've done, DMAG!! :smiley_th

Thanks!

I'm not surprised since once you join this forum you seem to be IN FOR LIFE!!!

I've tried to unregister by sending a note to administration, I've put all emails through "spam" and STILL I'm getting a hundred VN-750 posts jamming up my email box every day.....

I WANT TO UNREGISTER OK?!? I had a slight interest in the VN-750 when I thought I might buy a used one. Since then, I've decided to buy a REAL V-twin (Sportster 1200 C) so LEMME OUTTA HERE!!!!! :hitanykey

Well, it's simple enough to stop the emails yourself,

Go to your "User CP" (Control Panel) at the top of every page, just below the dual disc brake front wheel
Click "Edit Options" on the left side, under the section "Settings & Options".
Scroll down to "Messaging & Notification"
Where it says "Default Thread Subscription Mode" click the drop down menu
Select "No Email Notification"
No more emails from one of the best web groups for one of the best V-Twins ever made

Sorry you decided to spend soooo much money and will no doubt be spending soooo much more for parts.:doh:
But hey, to each their own. :beerchug:

And I have heard, 98% of all Hardleys ever sold are still on the road, the other 2% made it all the way home

You sure its from here and not the yahoo group? I haven't looked at the yahoo group for awhile, but I remember signing up for emails from yahoo and my email box received plenty of messages (quickly turned that off). At the time, this board was just getting started - maybe now we are caught up to them with the number of daily posts

This is great. The membership is taking off so fast. Is there a way to graph it over time and post that graph? I think it was less than a year ago that we passed the 1000 member milestone.

This seems to be an issue with more than a few members at the Y! group.
The funny thing is, right on the home page of the Y! (http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/VN750/) group it says:
Note!! We generate sixty or more posts a day. If you don't want them in your email box, be sure to select "digest" or "no email" if you sign up. You will have all the Group privileges, but will have to come here to read/send messages.

Welcome to the Family. Funny what a random phone call can do! Being new here you'll want to browse through the "vulcan verses" in the "Forum". There's alot of great info there. Just a hint, tou'd want to post this in the sell or swap section. Again, Welcome!

Hey Guys and Gals,

I just bought a 1991 vulcan 750, not currently running, but will be soon. Hope to go on some rides before the extreme Texas heat takes over. Having gas issues with the bike right now, but i hope I can get that fixed this weekend. Bye for now...

Think my petcock is messed up, but I have a rebuild kit ordered.. Any other advice, considering i am not a mechanic, would be greatly appreciated...

DMAG, i have to agreed with the rest, it sure makes a place more livable. No spammers that is

Hello I am new to your group. Just bought a 2002 VN750 a few weeks ago. The seller had two identical bikes.....his wife gave up riding so he sold it to me. Had 4500 miles on it an a cream puff. I have put about 700 miles on it and am getting used to it now. Going on a ride with my son-in-law and grandson on their bikes Monday to Canyon Lake about 40 miles NE of San Antonio where I live.

I am curious if there other 750 members in San Antonio.

Look forward to the interconnect with everyone.

Wayne

4000 who would of thought!Hope the site stays up, good bunch hear .

Wow! How did I miss this guy? Brilliant too! Joined here and yahoo and couldn't figure out how to turn off email posts? But hey, he bought a "real v-twin"... (in the Hardley world, isn't the 1200 considered a "ladies" bike?) Let's see, spend 9K+ and get just slightly less performance stock than our 750's can give ya. And then pop off on our site about it! You gotta love this guy.

5000th member coming soon!:beerchug:

what do you expect, his user name is bucks owin, as in 9000 bucks owin to someone that scammed him on a hardly!

149 to 5000

I am still novice on using the website. A couple of weeks I stumbled on this excellant 'how to' inspect/lube the drive shaft....with step by step pictures. Can anyone direct me to this thread.
Thanks,
W Wicker

Is this the one.
http://www.vn750.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1792

The link is always in my signature too. Of course, I haven't been around here as much as I used to...

Buck Owin.....a real brainchild! maybe some one here should "e-mail" him, to let him know that all those "spam" e-mails he's getting are not from this forum? then again, he so smart (because he bought a REAL v-twin) he can figure it out for him self..... NOT! hee. hee.

Be Careful!! if you guys keep makin fun of Buck Owin, he will beat you up! cause he is a real biker! dont you know all REAL bikers spend huge money on over priced/under powered paint mixers...uh i mean harleys...(I hate people that try to get me to buy a harley by insulting my bike!) sorry, thats my pet pieve

I'm a newby still trying to figur out how to post msgs.

I have a 02 750 and need a luggage rack. I am familiar with the Kawi one,but it is only rated for 5 lbs and is small.

I see on Ebay a Highway Hawk rack for a 750, which looks good and sturdy and larger than the Kawi rack. The seller says it is a discontinued item from Highway Hawk but his is new and in the box. It looks like it has too many holes to match up with the 750. Does anyone have a Highway Hawk rack on their bike. This one appears to have 5 holes in the side rails. Or any other ideas on where to get a rack?

PS Greatly enjoy the Forum & Gallery. Ran into a Lady rider at Barnes&Nobles today on a 96 750....only the 3rd other 750 I have seen in San Antonio so far. I really enjoy looking at all the tricked out 750s on the gallery. If I ever learn how to do it, I will post pics. of my "beautiful beast"....just the standard black and grey with not accessories so far. Also trying to decide if I want to mount saddle bags...hate to disturb the original look and move the signals....I have always liked to stay original with my toys....different strokes you know.....

Thanks to you who provide all the good tips and expert advise. My bike has 7500 miles now...bought it 2 months ago with 5500 miles. Just picked up on the advice to get drive shaft inspect/lubed. Going in for 6000 mile service next week.

Ride with my grandson,his dad, my daughter and her husband and also our church bikers group. We have about 12 bikes parked at the front door each Sunday. Have about 30 total riders in the group.

The Old Timer from San Antonio..... 70+ and still riding.

It seems like there used to be somewhere on here where you could see what number member you were. I can't find it now. Anybody know?

Put your cursor over your name in any post and right click. Then hit properties.
The number at the end of the URL address is your member number.....

Thanks Hyper! (again!)

Hyper, how do you know these things??? And is that your number? 7? I am not worthy (#962)... lol

Hyper, how do you know these things??? And is that your number? 7? I am not worthy (#962)... lol

Someone else posted how to do that quite awhile ago. You can see anyones member # like that.
And yep, I'm VN750.com #7 (and VROC #24567)

And Cindy, what do ya mean, NOT worthy???? With all you've done for this group??!! :beerchug:
You're worthy and then some!!! :smiley_th

We need to start a new "5000, see you at 6" thread. And change that same info out on the front door. :)

Congrats on the milestone. I'm not too surprised at the accomplishment because this site rocks! :rockon:

With all the great info everyone has shared and the quality of the members I can't see why any rider (whether vn750 or not) wouldn't come here.

Keep up the great work everybody. :smiley_th

You must be lucky to be #7! That's pretty cool, and I was a little shocked at first but it didn't take much thinking to realize that the early number you have mirrors your knowledge and experience with the 750! You are a credit to this group!:beerchug:

It's a team effort, Fergy.
This is my first streetbike. I got lucky that this site was started around the same time I got the bike. Most of what I knew before I got it was dirtbikes. Similar, yet different.
And even with the lucky #7, I think it was more than a few months before I made my first post here :doh:

If it weren't for this wonderful group of members (as well as the Yahoo group), I wouldn't know 3/4 of what I do now about the Vulcan. :smiley_th

I'm just an occasional deliverer of knowledge already shared.

5158 members, you reckon we'll hit 6000 before they change the homepage to 5000. I figured they would be right on that cause 5000 seems like a good round number, like an anniversary number. wonder how many possible members there could be, meaning how many vulcans were produced in all these years.

and to add. I belong to a fordtruckenthusiasts forum, and a chrysler forum. the ford one isnt too bad, chrysler has little help or information but I have never seen a forum with as much FREE help and FAST help and friendlier people than the vn750 forum PERIOD. this site is awesome and so is everyone here. I am glad to be a part of it and hope I can help anyway I can. this is one of the first sites I go to everyday after I check my email just to see if anything is new or if I can help in any way.

DMAG,
When you have a group as wonderful as the VN750 it's only natural that it attracts nothing but 4,000 good people!! This is awesome and I am proud to say I am a member.
Thanks,:smiley_th

I belong to a fordtruckenthusiasts forum,
I belonged to that group for awhile too. (Had a Mazda Navajo, same as an Explorer)
Not a bad group, but this one certaily does beat it without a doubt!!!!

I have signed up for alot of forums for a few of my cars, but this one is the only one i have ever been active on for more than a day or two. On the others it seemed like if you weren't an original member you were ignored. When they did answer a question it was weeks after I asked and I had already figured it out on my own. This bein my first bike and bein 7 hrs away from my dad (great with cars and bikes) I'm glad i found this site! Thanx to everyone on the site!

I keep waiting for the Headline to change to 5000 members! As I see this morning we are at 5211. Ah well, summer holidays are over and pretty soon the powers that be will notice this small oversight, and all will be made right.

hahahahah they should just wait till 6000..... hahah im a member of a few forums and ive come to realize that the motorcycle ones.... (VN750 and Katriders) are the friendliest and and have the most insight on things..... and quickest responces too.... glad to be part of the family..

Just passed my road test for BC on my VN750.
