    A friend of mine has a 86 Goldwing 1200 Interstate and his seat padding is gone. The seat looks good on the outside, but the inside padding is shot. He is setting on the metal seat pan which is very uncomfortable. He has looked on eBay, but had no luck. Does anyone has any suggestions on a good fix that doesn't break the bank?

    Sorry Charlie, but that really bites!

    Any of the area in the southwest part of West Virginia is nice. I've made the ride from Marlington north and circled back through Elkins several times. I have been scoping out some future rides, and actually Scenic Rocks and Black Waterfalls areas is at the top of my list next summer when I set off the first "West Virginia Skid-In". I also found another shorter ride I may use for a nice day ride. It would match the Tail of the Dragon Ride easily, but without all the law enforcement. I plan to ride one or two these road this fall before making my final pick. My wife now is even looking forward to the event next summer. So far everything is a GO! Hope you get to make it. :GREEN:

    You're in beautiful country John. About anywhere in Pendleton County you'll find good twisties. I always perfer the Highland Scenic Highway near Marlington and any of US Route 60 near Hawks Nest is good too. If you make it up near Braxton County, Look us up! I hope to be out riding this weekend, it about time the leaves will be starting to change.

    In Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge this summer I paid over $6.00 for a gallon of milk. I went to get a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread and costed me over $9.00.

    I had a wild sound out of my 86 VR earlier in the year. I found the front of the drive shaft dry as a bone... problem solved!

    Kool Beans, glad to hear you're on the road. I guess folks on the big island just don't take long trips....

    Mine quite last year after riding through the rain at Vogel. I sprayed some cleaner into the switch and fixed my problem. Just another thing to deal with about riding a twenty year old scoot.....

    Same dates Wednesday through Sunday sounds good. If anyone wants to come early that is good too. I would like to make a week of it...... I am looking into a West Virginia meet in the future. Maybe early June?

    I mostly always get above 45 mpg unless I'm runnning in excess of 70 mph. Whether I'm running through the hills of West Virginia or on two lane country roads it doesn't matter.....
  15. Skid
    I get between 47 or 48 most of the time unless I'm 75 mph+ then it drops to about 42 mpg....

    There is several hams here locally that operates on two wheels. Most of us just uses a HT. I can set my HT in the cup holder and use a ear mic when traveling together. One member has installed a Icom 706 on his GoldWing. He mounted the faceplate on the dash and uses the hand mic... 73's, N8YOW

    Hey Red, Glad it was so simple. This site has all the information you will ever need to operate and ride a Venture!

    Mine didn't work when I first got my scoot, I discovered that mine was just the fuse. For some reason I thinking it wasn't one in the fuse box that it was an in-line fuse, but I may be wrong...

    I couldn't believe the difference either, for just a little money and a couple hours...WOW What a Difference!
  21. Skid
    The difference is as much as night and day, also changing to Progressive Springs is very easy and takes little time.

    I've used Interstate Batteries for several years in all my vehicles, and in the scoot. I got about 5 or 6 years on my last one and have about 2 years on this one without any problems. Interstate Battery also has a exact replacement with new probe that will plug up to the existing wiring....

    I read the other day that a study determined that the average for cars and trucks shown for every 5 mph over 60 mph, your mileage will decrease by 10%. Maybe this is true for motorcycles too. Best thing is to drive easy and keep the rpm's lower....
