Skid

We had temps on the upper 50’s in West Virginia and I got out to ride too. Looking forward to 2020 3.0

Holley River State Park is an excellent campground too in a beautiful area in West Virigina I just need a date to set it up that is open

I will be at Myrtle Beach Bike rally with an Ocean front room from May 15 - 21, Ocean Front at Jeep Week in Daytona Florida for April 24 - 29 August 15 to August Sunday August 20 in Blairsville GA And any others I can find to ride to if Don has a Maintenance Day in Ohio

Fantastic! Didn’t know as I just saw this thread. The Valkyrie are definitely one that stands out and can be recognized by the unique design. I loved the Venture but the Ultra Classic feels much more nimble to me. Since you’re back “in the saddle” I expect to see you on the road more in 2023.

Time flies especially during the warm summer months for me. There is never enough time to take all the vacations I want to take each year. I still get a day in the 50’s or 60’s here and there to ride but I’m looking forward to riding season again

Got even better today.

It's great to be able to ride during the winter months in West Virginia

How's this?

That is pretty much so. I found the Yamaha was getting harder to find parts for and find a mechanic. That is one reason I went to the ultra classic. Harleys cost a lot more to maintain but there are lots of aftermarket parts and places that will work on them locally for me

I know the Ventures has lots of miles in them but I feel better traveling with less miles on the clock

Yes it is sad to let her go. She has been a great ride and there are still lots of miles left. I just ride too much each year

Took a few pics today of the ole girl to advertise her for sale. Anyone that's been around here for a while knows she has been well taken care of the past 13 years I've owned her. Lots and lots of extras. She has been to a lot of good VentureRider Meet and Eats. I have listed her on this site first.

I can see Yammer looking down and just shaking his head at me. He would have never done anything to hurt my feelings, but he would have fun with my newest "character flaw"

The Ultra Classic feels much lighter and I enjoy the sound and maneuverability but I am not a fan of the tri-glide. The short narrow wheelbase just doesn’t feel as stable as the venture with the hannigan kit

I often wonder what Yammer would said to me if he knew I was riding a Harley….🤔

It’s like potato chips, you just can’t stop at just one

She is doing great. Maybe I’ll let you visit her sometime… LOL

Sometimes while riding you just gotta stop and take a pic of your bike. Plus I guess I need to let everyone know I’m still here.

No. Heading home today

Weather on Thursday may not be too great

Sounds great. Next Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday is good

Anyone up for a Myrtle Beach Meet & Eat this month? I’m going to the Fall Rally starting Sept 26 and if anyone is interested in getting together for lunch about midweek we can plan something. And if anyone is interested, I may be able to provide an overnight stay if someone needs. Just depends on if a friend rides down with me or not.

There was moisture in the fluid and when it got hot it created air bubbles. Had it been changed or was it probably the original brake fluid?

Well the Ultra Classic got four hours of pampering yesterday and the HD shop. It got a complete 10K checkup with all fluids changed, new grease, and a few loose bolts tightened. I temporarily lost the rear brakes the other day but that's all been taken care of. There was a good bit of water/moisture in the brake reservoirs. Everything checked out good and rides like a new bike. Definitely a different breed, but still fun to ride. I'm looking forward to my first long ride down to the Fall Myrtle Rally at the end of the month.

Yeah I did, please don’t make me leave…
