    Guess I am 190 if I am looking at it rite. Was just reminising in my head the other day about all the members that have come and gone. A lot of great stories and a boatload of knowledge.

    Thanks Don, you truly created something special.

    Contest - new venturerider cap

    Great Idea Don, sorry to say I doubt I have 100 miles on this year. Still have the trike and it looks great on the trailer:doh: Also have the Madura all shined up and ready to roll. Health and family issues have tied up most of this year. Hopefully next year will be alittle better. Hang in there Tooch it gets better, I promise.

    Will shake at slow speeds, its the nature of the beast. I havent seen a hannigan rsv with a stabilizer. I know when I rode Jonseys Hannigan Wing it did the same thing. If you find a solution I would really like to hear about it.

    Glad to hear you got the chance to enjoy the new bike, I agree with all your comments, especially on 1st gear. When I test road one at Pioneer last year I couldnt believe how quickly you hit the rev limiter in 1st, almost like they didnt even need 1st gear. It was a beautiful riding bagger and if I was ever in the market for a new 2 wheeler, it would be the one. I am sure the more you ride it the more you will enjoy it.

    Yep, I remember that story well, pretty much did what you were thinking about doing. If I remember rite he left in the snow and documented the whole trip. I dont remember him having any problems with shady characters, he did have some bike issues tho. It was a great ride to follow.

    WNY Rally 2019

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Kim and I made it home safe and sound, another great rally! Want to THANK everyone in the NY crew that has given their time over the years to make this an awesome event! Would also like to THANK Terry and Michelle for all their generosity over the years, their sponsorship has made this party possible and they work tirelessly to make every detail just rite. I wish them nothing but the very best, in their next adventure. It was great seeing old friends again, and nice to meet some new ones as well. Cant thank "Wiz" enough for getting the trike up and running.

     

    On a different note would like to comment on the send off Bob recvd, It was one of the most moving services I have ever seen. The Patriot Guard Riders showed up in full gear, and treated everyone with kindness and respect. This amazing group made sure Bob was treated to the ultimate send off on his last ride. The whole ceremony sent chills thru your body and had every hair on your neck standing straight up. We celebrated Bob's life and laughed at some of his adventures all weekend long. Carl, Ben, Ron and Ron all pitched in to help Becky with ideas and repairs. A true testament to just how great this family is.

     

    Thanks again, and looking forward to next year already!

    RIP Bob, I am sure the other Venture riders that went before you, will be waiting for you with open arms. Hopefully Becky can find comfort in the memories of all your great adventures together. You surely will be missed.

    Alright I signed up, however I do have a lot of work to finish first. If I get this show out and get the new front tire on in time I'll head out Thursday early and see y'all Friday morning. I heard quite a bit about WNY at Don's.

     

     

    And you are still thinking about coming?????

     

    JK, you will have a great time, in spite of what they said at MD

    LED headlights for RSV

    Sorry I didnt take any pics when I did mine, but if you take some pics of original mounting points of old headlite, measure how far headlite needs to be from mounting points. Then cut, using a dremel thru the spot welds on old headlite frame. Measure and reattach mounting points to new frame, I used pop rivits. I know it sounds complicated but if you take your time and think it thru its not that bad. I needed to take the chrome ring off outer fairing and cut into fairing headlite opening in 2 spots, when you reattach chrome ring it covers cuts. Slipped fairing back on to trial fit, then remove finish up wiring, re-adjust headlite and you are finished. Afternoon job if your handy with tools.

    Good Luck Craig

    I had a very good friend that owned that exact bike, rock solid, ran like a top. He could beat my Madura in the twisties but I would blow rite by him in a straight line. We rode all over the East coast and he never had any problems, and he could do an amazing burnout on that thing, you didnt want to be behind him at a lite:yikes:.

     

    RIP Bill
