  1. Richard, I sure hope things go well for you and your wife in the moving process. Sometimes we yearn to have everything done right now because the work will be all behind us. I just ask for you not to feel overwhelmed in this change in your life. Take your time and reflect on the good times you have enjoyed. Look forward to the future that you have mentioned to get something more manageable and keep moving forward. Feel good about the future Richard. Here is hoping for all good things.
  2. I thought she was a "She" you say "He" O'l Puc will straighten one of us out. I am sure they would be proud of us acting like Ladies and Jents and all the care the little Puckster would get.
  3. Soooo, what better way to introduce her to your extended family Puc? She may even be talking by the time you got her back home with all the attention she would get.
  4. Hugs to Nancy and family. What a shame for Nancy's mom to find him this way.
  5. 2nd Generation Venture. Mine is an 04 with 85,000 miles on it. "BOLTS WERE LOOSE" You have to take off side covers from both sides & passenger foot rests. Take off Plastic Cover to see these bolts that the ink pin is pointing to. My right side was out all the way. Only the plastic cover kept it from falling off onto the road. The left side was very loose. I could turn it with my fingers. I removed both bolts and put removable LocTite and torqued to 80 ft lbs. That just felt like a good feel. I could not find the torque specs on this bolt. How many bolts are loose out there running on the roads?
  6. Tonight I was going to adjust the rear shock so I was taking off the panels on the right side to get to the top nut on the shock. You have to take the right side passenger foot pad off and take the plastic cover off. Pic #2 Pic #3 with the 14 mm bolt shown with the ink pen pointing to it was out all the way. The only thing holding it from falling off on the hwy. was the plastic cover. I put Loctite on it and tightened to 80 ft. lbs. That seemed like a good feel. Thought to myself. Better check the other side. Sure enough that bolt was very loose but not out all the way out. Just thought ya might want to check yours sometime. They are good size bolts. So, that's what I did. Adjust the shock and tighten two bolts that I didn't know was loose.
  7. I don't know if you have ever seen this sight before. If not, pretty interesting for any trailer info you may be seeking. http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/nav/start.asp?webtag=MCTrailertowing It is fun to look around at all the options. Have fun looking ragtop.

  9. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?13263-Rear-Hub-Lubrication This is what usually makes the squeaking sound. I do this everytime I replace the rear tire. It is not that hard to do. If you have never done it. It needs it.
  10. Nope not I, but sounds like a great time.
  11. Welcome and a very nice looking bike you've got there.
  12. Can you imagine? Good grief Charlie Brown.
  13. It was still awful windy here in Michigan:smile5:
