yamaha venture royale wallpapers
Considered by many to be ahead of its time in innovations and leading edge technology. The powerful and smooth V4 engine and excellent handling resulted in what may have been the predecessor of sport touring bikes available today. There are still many of these bikes on the road around the world racking up hundreds of thousands of miles.
The 1198 cc V-Four engine from the MK1 Venture was modified for performance and was used as the engine in the Yamaha V-Max. Many of these changes were incorporated into the MK2 version of the Venture.
Yamaha resurrected the Venture Motorcycle in 1996 as the Royal Star, then later brought out a full touring version in 1999 as the Royal Star Venture.

This is what happens when you brag...
It was just a few weeks ago that I was going on and on, telling a friend of mine how my kids almost never get sick. So much for bragging. Here are the events of our household for the last three weekends:
Friday the 13th, Reiss had a seizure during which, he peed on me while I was holding him. Soon thereafter, we gave him his seizure medication (a rectal suppository). He then lost control of his bowels, resulting in the med getting expelled, for lack of a better word. He began to calm down but vomited two times and then began to seize enough to scare me into calling 911. That landed us with a trip to the ER for the morning and early afternoon.
The following Tuesday we received the invoice from the ambulance service and the hospital's invoice the day after that. How's that for compassion? Maybe the insurance company will avenge the transport company and the hospital for their lack of compassion by putting off payment for a month or so. Ha! Probably not. I am horrible, I know, and I do not care. It is hard to feel bad for others not getting paid as promptly as they might like when it involves your child's misfortune.
The Wednesday after the seizure, Reiss began vomiting. That lasted for three days along with explosive diarrhea at around 8PM almost every night. Our carpet is trashed in Reiss's room and ours. The diarrhea continued on into the weekend and early this week too. We feared leaving the house even with a backpack loaded with extra clothes for Reiss - and for Milla too, who still has potty accidents now and then. The one time we did venture out without extra clothing, we were at the Y when Milla peed in her pants and Reiss didn't make it to the bathroom. Sparing the details of that incident, suffice it to say Reiss came out of the bathroom having gone commando.
As we were driving home from picking up some takeout for lunch today, and just when we thought we were through the woods and still holding onto the prospect of a weekend without some sort of bodily fluid turning it sour, Milla transformed my SUV into a puke bucket on wheels. She did not eat lunch and soon afterwards, she and I fell asleep together in the living room chair. It was a refreshing little nap until I woke up with my stomach doing flip-flops too.
James and Reiss came home from buying some marigolds and other odds and ends things from "the green store," a.k.a. Menards. Reiss helped James plant the flowers and then they came in to clean up a bit. Not long after that, Reiss got a bloody faucet nose. Seriously, I really began to wonder if his nose was going to stop pouring blood. Ten minutes later, Milla vomited again.
Our last three weeks, but primarily the weekends, have been nothing but a series of negative bodily functions. Take this as a lesson and learn from my mistake: When you brag on your children's health (or whatever else), it will come back to haunt you. Should you choose to continue bragging anyway, just hope for your sanity that the haunting is not in the form of seizures, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody noses, or getting peed on. I know all of it sounds like a lot of fun, but as I have said before, not everyone can have special kids.

kawasaki ninja zx10r engine and stuff
kawasaki ninja zx10r wallpapers
There are few things that remain constant in this world, but the fact that monster power is an integral part of Kawasaki Superbikes is one of them. After two days of surpassing the 2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R around the 16-turn, 3.6 km long Losail International Circuit in Doha, Qatar, there is no doubt that this bike can give the rest of the opening a class pack term for the money. This is not a question of how fast the ZX-10, but how fast you’re ready to roll.

suzuki gsv-r stuff wallpapers
suzuki gsv-r wallpapers
Suzuki GSV-R is the name of the series of 4-Stroke V4 prototype motorcycles developed by Suzuki to compete in the MotoGP World Championship. GSV-R replaced Suzuki's 500 cc 2-Stroke V4 RGV500 which was ridden by Kenny Roberts, Jr. to win the GP500 Championship in 2000.
The GSV-R was introduced on 2002, one year earlier than the original plan, with codename XRE0. New regulations were promoting the growth of four-stroke engines, and the performance of the new engine during testing was strong according to Suzuki. Despite the use of a new engine, XRE0 was using the old RGV500 Gamma Chassis, which was later criticized as a big mistake by many MotoGP analysts. Using the chassis and fairings that were previously made for the 2-Stroke RGV500 engine, XRE0 was hampered by many stability issues. The use of RGV500 Tyre spec was another mistake. Despite all of that, XRE0 was able to taste its first podium (2nd place) on the opening round at Suzuka and sacked 3rd place at Rio in the same year. XRE0 achievements however were inconsistent, as the riders often fell down, crashed, or were forced to retire by technical failures. The top XRE0 rider by the end of The 2002 MotoGP Championship was Kenny Roberts, Jr. in 9th place overall.
