    We'll be waiting Dan, but unless you are coming tonight, I think a few Northerners has already beat you here..... Craig, Thanks for the offer, we'll see what happens. I'll wait to see if everyone is having a good time before passing the hat. As long as everyone has a great time riding, I figure it will be well worth it. I will get a little better after this first time. This will not match the great Vogel Rally, but he had a couple years to improve it. I hope to be in the extented four day Meet & Eat section. :GREEN:

    Its amazing to watch the adults and kids when they are passing by laughing.... they really get a lot of attention.

    I'm glad to hear you are getting somewhere, but $400.00, Did you tell the officer that she is an antique?

    We just need to hold one of our VentureRider Rallys there next year.....

    That is the same as murder in my opinion. Knocking over a man bike! At least an attempted murder...... if he is caught he should be hung from a tall tree with a short piece of rope!

    Ok I know someone here should have a idea to where I can get a good deal on a new helmut. I was thinking about a new AC-3. My wife is needing a larger helmut. So should I let her have my large and go buy me a new helmut, or just buy her a new one now? Also feel free to offer other brands and where to find one...... I'm open minded.

    My wife has fallen asleep several times. She wakes up about time I make a turn. I can always tell when she wakes up because she shakes the bike and ask "where are we?"

    Nice fish Charlie, sure looks like a good time..... Probably the most fun someone can have without riding...

    I don't have it and I haven't seen your pen here. But then again I wasn't there either. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it........

    Silverscrew, I got the Fork Brace from Condor who made arrangements from a dealer for a special bulk rate. I think it might be too late now to order but here is the thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21411 Dan, I'll talk with the CMA member at our meeting on Saturday and get you the number.... You're welcome to join us Saturday morning at Shoney's. Meeting starts at 9:00 a.m., but I'll be there around 8:00 a.m. to have breakfast before the meeting..... After the meeting if weather permits we are taking a little ride for a while.

    Yes, I have some of the high speed wobble, and when I'm leaning in a long sweeping curve....

    Ok I finally got time this evening to install my new Fork Brace. I got the black and I suppose it doesn't look bad. A little different, but I'm glad I went with the black, maybe just to be different. So far I haven't got to test it out yet. I only got a short ride in this evening and didn't get to try out the top end yet, but I will be soon. I'l proide an update later to see if my wobble is any better. (Thanks Condor)

    Congratulations Jeff, I'm glad to see it happen. With all of us First Gen Riders, you will need a good set of wheels to make house calls....

    I sure hope the pond monsters aren't in Elk River later this month. I can't wait to see the movie.....

    I saw him last year at Vogel..... and I heard he was at Don's this weekend. Where have you been Dan?
  18. Skid
    Ok, I don't believe I over tightened the bolt but it is definately snug. The nut on the back side is a lock nut. The original bolt was silverish in color, but this new Yamaha bolt is green. I didn't see any markings on the head. I'll look again this evening when I install the new fork brace. I'll may also remove it again and check the hole closer too. Thanks everyone for the info, if I don't feel comfortable I may even order me a new side stand. I probably can beat the $57.00 price here at my local dealer.

    Randy, I tightened it up good, but still have a little play. I'm hoping this new green Yamaha bolt is harder than the old one.
  20. Skid
    Are you taking your medication again Dan? No I didn't drop it, I changed the bolt before it happened....
  21. Skid

    OK - who are you?

    Skid replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    Not yet, but I'm sure I will be on one eventually..... I wasn't out this weekend, I had to work.

    Ok folks I have heard several members dropping their bikes after the side stand breaks and the thought scares me. My wife often sets on the bike while it is on the side stand at different times, while fueling etc.... I have checked the up and down play in the side stand while the bike is on the center stand. I have about 1.5 inches of play at the bottom tip when the side stand is down. Is this normal? I removed the bolt and I can see a little wear so I replaced it yesterday just to be on the safe side. I noticed the new bolt is green colored, does that mean it is an harder bolt?

    Good looking ride, sure wish I could have been there to your smile. You are an inspiration to this web site, and you have helped many members several times. You well deserve a good First Gen........ Ride Safe!
  24. Skid
    Have a safe trip Dan, sure wish I could have made it, but that life sometimes.....

    As bad as I wanted to go, I can not make the Maintenance Day this year. Sorry folks, I hope to see everyone later this month in West Virginia.
