  1. Save those plugs and bring them to a Venture MD in your area....somebody will have a use for them.... and better to donate them to a fellow Venture rider rather than toss em away. Boomer
  2. I have been using the NGK Iridium plugs for a long time. This past July 4th I changed mine out after putting nearly 50K on them. The old plugs looked perfect despite the miles on them. I like the way my bike runs with these plugs and I have no intention of using anything else on my bike. There may be something else going on with your bike which is affecting performance. Boomer....who sez ya gotta go with what works best for you.
  3. Sorry to be off topic but what is the best oil to use in my Venture? Boomer....who has enuff problems dealing with pygmies an such....
  4. As it is the trailer does not look too heavy.....but with all the mods being planned here that might be towable only with a truck!! Boomer....who sez that sucker would make one heck of a portable Bar fer Poker Runs and such....
  5. My thoughts exactly when I read that info....Ponch has never struck me as being a hippie lover... Regardless of that progress is progress so let's all keep yapping at the Man upstairs to speed Ponch's recovery. Boomer....whose favorite sayin is "Can ya see which finger I'm waving at ya?".....
  6. I am overwhelmed by this latest update from Brad!!! Way to go Brother:bighug:..... and ROCK ON PONCH!! Boomer....who sez the pygmies are happy-dancing all over de house now too.
  7. If it wuz me I'd check the saddlebags fer pygmies.... Boomer....who sez more learned folks will chime in and tell ya if its a good deal or not.....and going with yer gut will get ya overweight.
  8. Hope ya wrote the phone number of the nearest Pizza Joint on yer arm....Phone books are tough to navigate through when yer in that "condition". Boomer....who sez wild parsley can be as much fun as watching the pygmies raid a DQ....
  9. I am passing this on to you all because it definitely worked for me today, and we could all probably use more calm in our lives. Some doctor on television this morning said that the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and this morning I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, a pockage of Prunglies, tha mainder of bot Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res of a Chesescke an a box a choclets. Boomer....who sez Yu haf no idr how bludy guod I feel rite now.
  10. I did this ride in 2009. Expect to ride with a huge number of bikes! The NYPD are just super with their escort and traffic control. Make sure you gas up before you jump in on the route. When you reach Ground Zero you will see thousands of people there cheering on the riders and offering food/beverages and sincere thanks. Patriot Guard is heavily involved with this ride....check your State's PGR Site for ride route and join points. Boomer...who sez expect yer eyes to leak at Ground Zero so wear sunglasses....
  11. Simple rule for both tires and brake pads..."When in doubt replace!" Boomer....who sez tires and brake pads are a lot cheaper than his life.
  12. Sometimes my scoot will not trigger a light change. After a reasonable wait of 5 minutes I will roll through the intersection when it is safe to do so. Most LEO's are fair and reasonable....my logic tells me if the LEO saw me blow the light he also saw me waiting for the light to change....to date no pullover's and no ticket. Caution....If you are at a city intersection that has cameras installed to catch red light runners you are pooched. Best you can do is pull off to the side and let a car come up and trigger the light for you. Boomer....who sez ya meet the nicest folks at a intersection when ya ask em to pull up beside ya and trigger the light.
  13. Go easy on the throttle....make frequent stops....use the scenic roads if possible.....Riding as a passenger is not a easy task for someone who is not used to doing so. Teach her to be an extra set of eyes on the road as well as a Navigator to help you reach your destination. The more enjoyable you make the ride for her the quicker she will relax and really enjoy doing this with you. Boomer....who sez if ya can't handle incessant "chatter from the back" then lose the intercom idea....
  14. I bought a small scissor jack from NAPA and I keep it stored on the bike along with a Plug Kit and 12V air compressor. Boomer....who sez it's better to be prepared rather than be in the woods widdout toilet paper/Handiwipes.
  15. Brad.....If there is anything we can do to help Kathy please let us know ASAP. The prayers will continue for both she and Ponch.....And thank you and Lonna for being there!! Boomer
  16. Brad and Ponch's wife just arrived at the Hospital. I will post a update as soon as I hear anything. Boomer....who sez keep the prayers coming for Ponch.
  17. FYI......Memorial Hermann Hospital, 6411 Fannin Street, Houston, TX. Phone....713) 704-2800 Boomer
  18. Lonna just arrived at the Hospital . Update on Ponch will be posted shortly. Boomer....sending prayers for Ponch.
  19. Happy Birthday Old Goat!!! And....Bravo Zulu to Dianne as well. Boomer....who sez even the pygmies are doing a happy dance for the Old Goat.
  20. Brad my friend I am just glad to hear that you walked away from this one. The scoot can be fixed but there's no way to replace a good friend!!!! Boomer
  21. Monty.....Have a great trip and a super time with your son and family ! Please thank your son for his service to our Country!! Boomer....who seems to recollect dropping pygmies off in dat area you are headed fer....
  22. Kenny and Beth just left our place (11:45AM) and are Bogalusa bound for sure. It was great to see them and the visit was way too short. We could not convince them to stay overnight....lol. Boomer....who sez some folks should NOT drink Margarita's..... :rotf:
  23. Have a safe ride and a great time my friend!! Boomer.....who sez don't kill the Dragon before I get there....
  24. Lucky that little fellar is miles away from Big Tom...... Boomer.....who sez ya can't eat enuff ice cream and to heck with all them veggies.
