Two surgeries in 9 months has me procrastinating a lot. At least the PET scan says no cancer.

I have not been on this site for a few years.I do not have a Venture anymore , but enjoy the people. What is new these days?

Yes sir! I'm not getting too ahead of myself. I'm saving up about 5 grand for a down payment. We're looking at a 2021 plus, low mileage for hopefully less than $20,000. There's a beautiful 2018 with only 8000 miles in Lincoln, and they're only asking $15,999 for it. Really tempted to get that one. The 2021 and up have upgraded audio and a bigger trunk with better rear backrest for the passenger. I'll have graduated with my Associates in Civil Engineering in May and this will be a gift to myself! As for the Venture. Got the tank taken off and rust proof-ed and very happy with the results. Its a decent sized job, but really not too terrible. Looks tougher than it is!

Got the bike out last week and the bug out a couple days ago and now we are staying in the house in front of the fire place cause it's to cold outside.

That's great you gotta be proud of him

Not likely to work. The bolts have shoulders on them that only allow the bolts to be threaded in sooo far. Pull one out to see it.

We went to Tulsa where it was 75° and sunny 😎 Then we came home and were promptly snow on! And we still have a month of winter left😢

Snowman and Fred???? never mind that was a beer truck. 🤣🤣🤣

@Chaharly Best of luck on working on your bike. Those leaks are never fun to work on. You still have time before riding season really officially starts for most folks. Perhaps the Goldwing can come sooner than later?

Well didn't make it out to Friday The 13th on Friday as I would normally do! There was too much snow and ice on the roads around our area so Phantom Wife and I spent some of the day visiting with our Grand Daughter and her mom and dad instead! Turned out to be a great day and will probably try to make the next 2 times which are next month and then November! Also I had repairs to do on my tractors and snow-blower! Had major problem with the one lawn cutter tractor I modified to mount a blower onto as when I was blowing snow something let go and PTO went out of commission! Did get another PTO but is not going on like it should and also noticed that bolt broke off inside shaft so now I have to try and get it out! If I can't get it out I will have to change out motor with a spare motor I have on another tractor I bought years ago! Still looking for a blower for the SearsSS16 tractor I have but everything is in the U.S. Was out yesterday cleaning up the ends of lane-ways and clearing snow down to concrete sidewalks when I shut of tractor to shovel but when I went to start up tractor starter just whined. Towed it back to garage and got it working again!

You gotta take care of yourself Joe, do what you gotta do and we will keep the thoughts and prayers coming.

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

This year is going to be great.

🥶 it was aaa grrrrreat ride

I think @saddlebum was finding it a bit cool to ride 'is 'orse, so he probably opened the door a bit to warm things up by letting some cold out. Maybe he could close it now, after his nap is done.

Baron’s sells a lowering kit for the rear of a 2nd gen, you can lower the front bey slide the forks up the triple tree.

if you type a post and wish to "tag" somebody, that means to insert their name in a way that they will receive notification of the post and can reply if needed, here is how its done. On the old site, you just typed their username with the @ sign in front of it. Example @freebird. That no longer works on the new site however. The way you do it now is basically the same. You type the @ sign and then start typing their username. As you type, a dropdown menu will appear and you have to select their name from the menu. If I start typing @Freebird , freebird will show up in the menu. I just click on that and it inserts the username for me. It's actually much better this way because people use all types of different spellings for their username. If you just get the first two or three letters correct, you don't have to worry about spelling the rest of it. Just look a the list as you type and then click on the name when you see it.

Got the Spyder up 4sale, does that tell yah what you're asking?
