Does the Oberlin Inn offer a discount for Venture riders maint day event. There on line rate is $139 night for 2 occupants. It's been two years since we stayed there and memory is a little rusty.

Head wrench position still open at Skid's garage? Lots of second gens need fixed.

Almost time to schedule vacation for 2009. I think I can make the Skid Inn in June no problem.Maybe another full week during the summer for a rally somewhere.I told the boss an extra week of vacation time would be nice? He was not excited. Oh well can't schedule them all. Get those events posted.

I was in a foot of snow on Snowshoe Mtn today 4800 ft. Coming across Rt 15 on Pt Mtn 4000 ft the snow was 8 inches with leaves in full color on the trees. Those golden, red, and yellow leaves look neat on top of snow. Oh yea the deer were moving everywhere. No scooters to be seen. New tires on the 4 wheel drive work great. :snow2:

I stole here off the farm at 17. She is a good cook but at that time only had one recipe. Cooking for 12 work hands. I was a big eater so I stole her.

All my neighbors are in jail. Damn Redneck does sound nice. I heard that name used before.:rotf:

Do you have a riding season? I will probably have the scoots winterized by Dec 1. Sometimes it's Nov 1. Not so much the cold as those fall rains bringing the creek up. April usually brings enough warmth to get things moving again. The Weather channel is calling for a unusually cold and snowy winter for the east. You guys in New York get any snow last night? Our forecast is calling for snow showers next week. It could be a long winter nothing to do but bash on those second gen's.

O.K. I pay bills every Wednesday and my computer gave a two day warning. You will be broke Friday. It's your Anniversary of 27 years. The wife will be expecting dinner,etc $$$$$$ . I gave her a new nickname. HIGH MAINTENANCE Just kidding. 27 years has been good. :173:

You done good.

Weather forecasters are predicting a much colder and snowy winter for the east. It's been a while since we had one like when I was a kid.

Pickup Coil Diagnosis?
FROG MAN replied to a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You need to clean the pickup coil connector that plugs into wiring harness left of bike behind foot peg along frame. The female connector provides the tension to make a tight connection. I have had to take a pin extractor and remove the female pins one by one and re crimp both ears slightly to restore the contact.Same thing goes for the TCI plug. When the engine is running the vibration of the motor can cause one or more of the contacts to go intermittent. The only way to verify the pickups are good is to use a O-Scope and monitor the pickup pulses at the TCI for consistency when running. -
You know your bike has set to long when. 1. You have to turn the ignition on and off 6 times just to get the timing circuit on the fuel pump to fill the float bowels. 2. Your brand new battery bought in May doesn't have enough CCA to start the engine at 43 degrees and needs charged 3. You try to back the scoot out of the shed and it moves like a mack truck. That slow leak ( 3-4 lb a week ) around the valve stem you found after you installed the new rear tire has caused the rear pressure to drop to zero lbs. 4. Your licensee plate sticker has been dead since July 1 and now you have to hunt for 1/2 hr to find the new decal you bought for it. 5. Finally all is well and after a 75 mile test ride your home for lunch and ready to go again. I should ride that 84 more often.Last time out was the first evening of the Skid Inn.

Just finishing a pot of coffee first.

Talk about a 1,2,3 knock out punch. Economy woes followed by a nasty stomach bug had MamaMo and I both down for the count by Friday evening. No camping no nothing. She did manage to go to work this morning and I'm thinking about a well deserved ride. Heavy snow in the Midwest and the leaves are peaking here. It's 42 degrees now but 70 -80 in the afternoon. Which scoot should I take? Thats easy only one not running is the second gen. It's the 84 's turn and today is a solo ride. Only thing between me and a good time is a 50 ft crossing.

Like to have one that size. My 8.5KW does the job OK for an all gas home. It's a portable gasoline model but I might convert it to NG if we get the winter their calling for.

When you live in WV it's a hour drive to get to work.
