All Activity

Been out snow plowing and blowing the past week with my Craftsman 15.5hp that is a grass cutter! Modified it to mount a Berco 40" snow blower , then electric PTO unit let go and now waiting to get it fixed! My red MTD 12hp tractor(also a grass cutter) that I modified 20 some odd years ago with rear plow is still used when there is less than 3"of snow! Also I use my new to me Sears SS16(16hp twin garden tractor made for plowing and snow blowing) it can push thru snow piles and thru burms that plow trucks push into lane-ways and corners of sidewalks with no trouble! Only thing with the sears is it is fairly slow(I usually do around 10 to 13 lane-ways and sidewalks so average time to do this it takes at least 6hrs or more! Then I also use my 9hp 26" Husqvarna snow blower as backup when it is wet snow or over 6" deep! Waiting for new PTO ordered should be here before weekend) Been looking for accessories equipment for the Sears tractor!

Now look I asked politely yesterday please keep those cold temps up there it's 13°F here this morning, It's so cold Trina is praying for a hot flash 🤣

12* right now but going up to 42* Cold enough for me. Y'all keep those single and minus temps up north.

Has anyone tried the Shark Road mufflers on their RSVs? I've been listening to video clips of them and they sound awesome! Deeper throaty sound. Might be too loud for long trips? They sound a lot like the V&H Monster Ovals but I don't think they are quite as loud.

South end of Lake Michigan was -7 air temp with up to 30 deg wind chill!

I wish yawl would keep it up there it's 21F here

we're hav'n a heat wave inn northern il, -4 this morn'n. BRRRRRRRRR!

All of these parts are in excellent condition. This is from a 1983 venture xvz1200. I am referring to all the plastics including saddlebags, trunk and fairing., the color is maroon. Other parts include rear taillight plus bracket and fender. All of the chrome pieces as well. I’ve stripped the bike down to its bare bones and will be turning it into a bobber of sorts. Again… these parts are in excellent condition. I am selling everything together.. will not mail individual parts. You will have to come and pick up the parts. I’m asking $250 for the entire bundle. I’m located in Oklahoma if you are interested. Pm me for more info. Thanks

We had a balmy -22° here this morning!

35 degrees here in Wilmington NC and it feels really cold to me. I've gotten soft since I retired and don't do any more contract jobs in the frozen north. I spent winters in NE, WI, IL, OH, NY, MI, PA, and VA when I was contracting. The wife keeps trying to convince me to move to FL. She might succeed. Ha!

Hey all, been a bit, hope everyone is well. Can't believe I'm saying it's a little cold for a ride, but actual temperature reached -20 this morning here, not sure with windchill. I'm sure our Canadian friends are saying that's swimming weather 😆

Never has been anyone within 30/40 miles, think one guy lives down around Jacksonville but have never got together with him. I am used to traveling 1 or 2 hundred miles for coffee and talk. Out in Venture West country we'd do that regularly. I came out here in 2006 and other than meeting up with Muffin Man regularly for the first few years that's about it. I do ride in mixed company, not the lone ranger for sure but it is nice to get together with fellow Venture riders.

They are predicting about an inch of ice here, no snow. You can not drive on ice but plenty try. After 2014 https://www.wabe.org/snow/ Ga. got a lot better at pretreating the main roads but secondary roads go untreated. The biggest worry is the ice bringing down trees and power lines. By Monday afternoon it will probably be all gone.

I know it’s not much to yall up north but we’re looking at 12” here possibly. We don’t have the plows and equipment to deal with it here. Out where we live a couple farmers and I saddle up the tractors and take care of the neighborhood roads. 3-4” pretty well paralyzes the area, 12” is a one in 10 year snow for us. Usually a very wet snow, one truck over it and it packs into ice.

How much are you expecting to get this weekend? Our forecast is 12 to 16 inches. I may not go in to work on Monday. I agree. I am an egg eater and steak. Bread... worst case scenario, my wife can bake bread from scratch. Tomorrow morning, a trip to the gas station, grocery store and hardware store. All this will happen between 8am and 11am I hope. The anticipation is just the best feeling similar to about to go on a long vacation. Be safe out there.

Don’t forget the eggs and the bread. When there is weather event everybody must develop a hunger for French toast! Here in east central Wisconsin, temps will be a mild -21° with wind chills around-50°!

Need to get my Whole Milk and toilet paper before the weekend.

Will do,thanks

Will do

Some pictures as promised. Venture rear lighting breakout harness. 5 wire trailer harness with isolator 4 wire trailer harness with isolator.

I was supposed to go to see the daughter in Florida this weekend, weather here put the kibosh on that trip. Guess we’ll freeze instead of sunbathing. Afraid to leave the house unattended with the freezing temperatures and possibility of ice and power outages out here in the boonies. Got the generators ready with plenty of fuel on hand. Being fully prepared usually means it won’t happen.

I have had one of his rear light bars for several years and it is a quality product

The daily High on Friday this week will be 5 below at my home in south central Wisconsin. I’m in Florida for a couple weeks right now and it’s 73. Not looking forward to returning home on Sunday!

55 mph wind, 20 degrees today, high of -8 on friday
