Sunday, May 11th, which is Mother's Day will be the day that my first baby is coming!  We've been in the hospital for 7 weeks due to my woman's water breaking at 27 weeks. He'll be 34 weeks this Sunday when she has her C-Section operation.

 

His name is going to be William Alonzo Umberger-Valencia. Pics to follow!

Good morning to all.  Raining all day in SE Pa.  I got the day off... but got called in for Saturday and Sunday work.  There goes my weekend.  At any rate, hope you are having a great Friday wherever you are.  Ride safe.

Good afternoon to all ventureriders.  Hopefully you are getting some ride in this weekend.  Got called in this weekend, so I am just riding to and from work and our weather is just gorgeous as ever. 

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there. 

Ride Safe.

Good morning to all.  We are having rain for the next 2 to 3 days, but glad to be able to cut the grass Monday morning.  No motorcycle projects coming up, but I plan to replace plugs on the RSV over the next couple of weeks.  Ride safe, if you have some good weather in your neck of the woods.

They Look pretty good on there! Let us know how you like them!

I really love the lights.  I can see the side and much much farther in front of me.  No cagers flashed their lights on me, so this tells me that they are now focused the right way.   I really like so I am thinking of installing D2 Denali lights and may select the yellow lens for the SVTC in the near future.

Happy Saturday night to all!  As much as I want to ride today since the weather is so gorgeous, I didn't get the chance.  The 'boss' has other plans, so I just simply have to comply.  :innocent-emoticon:

Good evening to all.  We are going to have rain for the next three days, so there is nothing about riding and/or projects that I can talk about.  :97:

Good morning to all.  We had rain all day yesterday and later tonight0.  No riding for now.  :95:

Good morning to all.  Hard to believe, but it is here.  June is right around the corner and hopefully warmer days are coming.  Gradual clearing and rain should be over by noon.  Ride safe and have a great day.

Good evening to all.  Looks like weather will be nice and warm all this week, so that means I'll be riding all week long.  Ride safe everyone.  :7_6_3[1]:

Good morning to all!  Got called in to work over the weekend and the weather was a little bit unsettled, so just caged it.   Grass cut Monday is inevitable.

Morning!  Got the bike out for an actual ride on Sunday. Only put about 150 miles on, but it sure felt nice.

 

I'm having a pilot jet slightly plugged on one of my cylinders though, so some work will come my way I guess.

Great to hear you are back on the saddle.  I've been riding as well over here since Monday after all the rain over the weekend.  As far as your pilot jet issue is concerned, some may say to run seafoam through and hopefully the rough idle 'I assume' will go away.  Ride safe.

Morning guys. Got to go out for a Father's Day ride yesterday. About 230 miles. Fiddled with the bike on Saturday, messed with the pilot jets and realized that the lower hose that connects the breather box to the crank was disconnected. Rode about 67mph with a light crosswind from the south and got 41.25mpg on the bike. I'm pretty impressed with that.

 

Thinking about doing an Iron Butt this Saturday. I wont be able to go on any long trips with the kiddo at home, but I talked to the missus and she's fine with me disappearing for a day to do one. 

 

Going to ride from Omaha to Duluth and back is the plan!

Went for 200klm(125ml) ride last Friday. Went to Port Dover to the only Friday The 13th this year!(get together for all kinds of bikes(mostly Harley)and motorcycle riders from all over Canada(some from Manitoba,Alberta,Quebec, and some from US)Estimated to be around over 100,000 bikes. And as usual there were a few accidents on way and home for a few riders.(around 6 that we know of,luckily no deaths)

Glad to hear you guys have the chance to experience and take part of some nice rides and 'get together'.  On this end, I didn't get the chance to ride due to the weather this past weekend and got called in again for work once again.  However, we are looking as some 90 degree temps next week, but I don't know if I am ready for all that heat after having some gorgeous temps lately.  Whatever the case may be, ride safe and enjoy every mile on your bike.  

Once I can find time to work on the SVTC, I plan to install Denali D2s in front.  (feeling excited)

Well I hope at the very least you can get out in the morning and enjoy some of the cooler weather.

@Chaharlyactually  the event is well behaved even with at least 3 major Bike groups including  Hell's Angels to name one! Lots of police presence every where! Not as many having the riot guns and body armor like some past times! Every one seems to get along as like the area is neutral ground! You don't bother them,They don't bother you!
