    I am going to miss alot of the good stuff, hope to see everyone tuesday at barber motorcycle museum. Don't have too much fun until we get there. LOL
  8. I have been to the dark side for 33,000 miles on a $70.00 Federal tire. From 0 to 70 mph I like the car tire better. It is much better on wet roads, better stopping traction on all types of roads, and twice the mileage at hath the price. Above 70 mph on long sweeping curves, especially with not level surfaces a good MC tire is better.
  9. This is a family, you can’t leave!!!! I would love to have one of the VTX 1800. They sure pull hard when you turn that throttle.
  10. Thank the good Lord you are able to share this with us and we pray that all will go well with the insurance company.
  11. The 86 Venture has 2.5 to 3 ohm coils, many of the late 90’s Honda sport bikes use 3 ohm coils and will work well on the Venture. Where you will have trouble is putting a 1.5 ohm coil on the Venture. Earl
  12. I am about 100 miles inland and the eye should miss use, but we are looking out for tornados. In about 4 hrs the worst of it will be getting to us. Praying that it will go back out to sea. Earl
  13. We will be leaving Monday, the 28 th.. Planning to take 95 south and 20 west to some where close to Birmingham. Tuesday morning we plan to go to Barber Motorcycle Museum and meet up with the VR. I wished we could leave earlier but Herbie has to work Sunday. Earl
  14. I have one and for me the plus is it is lower and makes getting on and off the bike easier. Comfort is about the same as stock to me, but my wife likes the stock seat much better. Seats are all about the fit, I hope it works out for you. We have been on several 2500 mile trips with the stock pillow top and all was good. I got a really good deal on a used Road Sofa, so I gave it a try. We went on a two day trip, about 275 miles a day and my wife was in misery all the way back home the second day. Earl
  15. Go here to get all the info http://www.venturerider.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=108 Yes my son and family live about 5 miles east of Vass. We are going there Monday and pick up our two grandaughters and going to the mts. for the week. I am not sure when we will be returning, but when we get it nailed down, I will let you know. Hope we can have that cup of coffee then. Earl

  17. Hi Steve, I am about 130 miles east of you. I would like to do a meet, eat, and ride one day. I can't go next week, but one day the following week may work for me. If you want to go on a long ride, you can hook up with me and Herbie and go to the IN Rally in Gunterville. Earl
  18. AND A HAPPY CANADA DAY TO ALL NORTH OF THE BORDER Earl
  19. If you have all the valves backed off, get a spark hole adapter and with an air compressor, air up each cylinder. You should hear some air leak around piston rings, but no air leak from air intake or exhaust. If you can hear air leaking from air intake or exhaust you have a bent value. Earl
  20. Sorry riding is getting to that point, but glad you have the convertibles as a good back up. Earl
  21. Congrats, that is not an easy accomplishment. The most I have done was 1,080 miles in nineteen hours and I was ready for a hot shower. Happy Birthday!! Earl
  22. Take it easy and stay on the road to a full recovery. Earl
  23. Most RSV do not benefit from larger jets. On both my 2000 and my 07, I have got better mpg by lowering my metering rods .040 to .060 of an inch. Earl
  24. Bubs are #1!!!!!! Earl
  25. Keep the updates (funny stuff coming) and more pictures would be great! Earl
