There's several trikes in our Goldwing Chapter and they all love them. They're offer a lot more protection should you ever be involved in an accident. They have better brakes, are easier to see, don't worry about dropping in gravel, sand, dirt, oil, antifreeze, etc. Don't have to balance with your feet. Also, you can't keep up with them in the twisties, just the straight roads. I love my Venture, but my next bike will be a trike of some sort. Eddie--Winchester, ky.

I've had gout for about 25 years now. Suffered bad for the first 5 years or so. My doctor talked me into going on "Allopurinol" and I haven't had a problem with it in years. I tried to control with diet but this is truly a wonder drug. Also, there are NO side effects. Eddie Flinchum:)

I just had a set of "BUBS" put on my 07 Venture 2 weeks ago and absolutely love the sound. Sounds like an old muscle car. I paid $416.00 installed.\ Eddie

Anybody going to Spring Fling in Pigeon Forge this weekend? I'm thinking about having my bike pin striped. I have the 2007 Raven or blue/black RSV. Any suggestions on what colors for the pin stripes. I'm thinking about light blue/gold/red???? Eddie:confused24:

I think I've settled on buying a "Cyclemate Zephyr." There's a lot of opinions on trailers and I was just wondering if anyone has this trailer and how it will pull with a second generation Venture?? Also, will there be many trailer vendors at Spring Fling???? Eddie Flinchum--Winchester, Ky.

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate it. I'll just have to see what it costs to have one painted. Eddie

A local dealer has the "Road Runner" series trailers for sale. He says the size is large and larger, whatever that means. He says they normally sell for $2400-$3000 and he'll let me have either size for $1500.00. I just don't know much about this trailer. Seems to have some extra's on it. I'd appreciate any help you can give on this. Thanks, Eddie Flinchum--Winchester, Ky. 2007 RSV

I'm starting to look for a trailer to pull behind the Venture. I've pulled one a lot behind Wings in the past but I sold the old trailer. I'm now looking for a good used one if there's any available. I'm located in Central Ky. Eddie

I just put Kuryakin grips with a palm throttle boss on my 07 and they're working great!! Eddie:cool10:
-
I had the local dealer put them on and I don't know anyone around here, regardless of the bike that wears ear plugs. I don't think they're that loud to do it but that might mean I don't hear well to begin with. That's what my wife says.... ha ha I really do like the sound of them and I rode about 80 miles today and I just love them. I think all they had to do was remove the saddle bags and it was pretty much a direct bolt on because they were done in about 1/2 hour on both sides and had the bags back on and they really look nice.

I had ordered the Bubs exhaust and before I received them I'd drilled 4 half inch holes in each stock muffler and they sounded pretty good. I decided to have the "bubs" put on yesterday and they're a little louder than I thought they'd be but I love them!! They have a nice throaty growl and people will notice them. They really sound good idling and also when you gear down. Heck, they sound good no matter how you're driving. Just thought I'd tell you about it in case there are some riding the fence on them. They're great!! Eddie Flinchum--Winchester, Ky.

How can I order 1 or more of these patches if I don't have a pay pal account?? Eddie

My Valkyrie and my RSV both have this shifter and I love it. I'd never used them before and now my shoes don't suffer the old ugly toe syndrome. Just what you like, I guess. Eddie

Thanks a lot for the info. You guys are a tremendous help!!! Eddie

Can someone tell be how to take off the grips that come on the 2007 Venture. I want to put the Kuryakin grips on and the local stealer wants $80.00 to install them and I believe I can do it as long as I don't mess anything up getting them off. Thanks, Eddie
-
I really like the idea, but will we be able to get them in white or light gray? Eddie Flinchum

I'd appreciate the info. Eddie

Where is the best prices on the Bub's slip-ons. I heard a set on a Venture today and they sounded soooo much better than the stock. I just hate to pay $400.00 for a different sound. I probably will though. Thanks in advance, Eddie Flinchum:)

My wife and I and 2 more couples want to visit Vermont, Adirondacks, Finger lakes, Burlington and possibly Mt. Washington in the last week of August. We're thinking about staying in Rutland, VT. We're thinking this area is central to the places we'd like to see and ride through. I'd appreciate any and all info, including places to stay that are biker friendly. Any additional suggestions would also be appreciated. We want to see as much as possible in the week we have to do it. Eddie Flinchum--Winchester, Ky.

I've seen several joking posts about the two different bikes and I really love my 2007 Venture. I probably wouldn't race a 1st generation but I do have a 97 Valkyrie that I believe would blister a 1st generation... ha ha Eddie Flinchum

I'm thinking about putting a hitch on my 07 Venture and was wondering if the McHitch is the only one available or if there's others that might work. I'd just like to see more than one hitch before pulling the trigger on one. Thanks in advance, Eddie:)

Thanks a bunch for the info. Eddie

I love my 07 Venture but I hate the sound of the exhaust. Sounds like it's missing all the time. I'm thinking of drilling some holes in the rear of the exhaust. The local stealer mechanic says it shouldn't cause any carb problems of any kind. I'd appreciate any info you can give me. Eddie:bighug:

I recently had to do the same thing on my 97 Valkyrie. It's jump when you put it in gear and then I'd just about have to stomp the kickshifter to get it to change gears. I had a friend to pump the clutch while I bled the system of air and added back about 2 oz. of brake fluid. It now shifts great. Try it, could be a quick and easy fix. Eddie:322:

Please keep in touch and let me know how it goes. Thanks, Eddie:322:
