  1. AM or PM???? Boomer........who's not too good at timekeeping anyway.
  2. I think it is just awesome that folks are responding this way to someone stranded on the road with their scoot. Take a hard look at what our society in general has evolved into and you have to admit that we have a damn good thing going on with this Venture Site folks!! Regards and respect to all!! Boomer........who does have a truck/trailer and will roll for anyone on this Site!
  3. All I know is what I see/feel with my bikes performance both before(Stock) and after I changed the pipes and plugged the AIS......and I'm sticking with the mods I have done. To each his own and keep riding!! Boomer.....riding with 4-2-4's, a plugged AIS, a IPOD with great tunes, and a grin as big as Texas.
  4. Cheer up.....When health care is soon socialized in this Country by the dimwits everyone's care will be as bad or worse as the VA health care system is for us Vets. Boomer.....who would eat his gun before giving the VA a crack at him.
  5. I used to do that after every ride before I got my Venture with the windshield. Boomer.....who enjoys seeing the bugs splatter on the shield instead of feeling em hit his teeth......
  6. Let me know when you are coming....I'll see what I can do to meet up with you and send you on yer way with a full belly. Boomer.......who knows some mighty good eating joints in the Blue State of Connecticut.
  7. That's exactly what I do. Cheap preventive maintenance in my book. Boomer..........who could do more if he had a garage and the monsoon season ended.
  8. When my boys were young like that I kept a set of boxing gloves for them handy for situations such as that. Boomer........who knows his youngest one could have put it all over Sonny Liston.
  9. To hell with changing the pipes.........Shoot me yer addy and I'll ship my MIL Overnight Express right to your front door..........No Charge!!.....2 weeks with my MIL in your neighborhood and you'll see For Sale signs popping up like mushrooms. Boomer......who has tried this 6 times and is hoping #7 is the charm.
  10. As I understand it (from reading here) the whine is caused by either the clutch basket OR the cut of the gears in the tranny. Many have cited success with a clutch basket change out but not a 100% reduction of the whine. I,like many others, have chosen to go with loud pipes and a IPOD music system,and lastly....trying various oils to help reduce the whine. After all that you can do the choice is simple....Learn to live with it or trade the scoot for another brand. Good luck with your efforts and your ultimate decision. Boomer........who is keeping his Midnight Venture,whine and all.
  11. Have a great trip and stay safe! Boomer....who's putting pontoons and rear wheel paddles on his Venture tonight.
  12. Not me either.......... Boomer........who's looking at black skies and pouring down rain in buckets right NOW......and if I can find the drunken Indian doing the rain dancing around here I'm gonna lift his scalp and attach it to my CB antenna.
  13. I wet the scoot down with Windex....wait about 2 minutes....then wash her down. Of course I'm dealing with Liberal Noo England bugs up here and they are not known fer tenacity. Boomer........the non-PC kinda guy.
  14. Yep that sidestand switch gets crapped up real easy due to its location. I clean/check mine at every oil change. A few minutes of care will prevent a ton of aggravation. Boomer.....who would rather drive by the !st Gens on the side of the road rather than join em for a roadside maintenance session. :rotfl:
  15. This is a classic example of why WE as riders need to be familiar with the road laws in States that we are driving in....AND....never be in such a hurry that we risk our own safety by doing something we would not normally do with safety in mind. I feel for all parties involved with this tragedy......... Boomer
  16. Count your blessings it was not a skunk that you hit............ Boomer.......who has only hit 1 skunk and never wants to do it again!
  17. Best advice I can offer is to sell and give away everything that you can. The less you have to move the easier its going to be for both you and the wife in terms of labor,time,and costs! Course ya gotta realize that once yer in Texas you will have the joy of going shopping to replace what you have previously sold or disposed of. Boomer......who would ride to Texas nekkid on his Venture if he could get out this dumba$$ State of Connecticut.
  18. Being out here in the country has brought us a fair share of surprises as well. To date over 6 hot air balloons have landed in the hay field next to our house. I like the Certificate and bottle of champagne they give to us when they do that! 3 years ago a small plane did an emergency landing in our 70 acre corn field. The corn was just about ready for harvesting,and being so TALL it certainly added to the pucker factor of that pilot! Boomer........who never knows what is gonna fall out of the sky around heah.....
  19. Dang........Them Southern boys have all the fun........ Boomer.....Who's too far North and Eskimo's don't ride Ventures.
  20. http://www.funnieststuff.net/viewmovie.php?id=1269 Boomer.......who knows this adventure calls for a change of shorts. :rotfl:
  21. If ya don't keep yer head up and eyes open them Aussies will drink yer beer....fast! Boomer.....who also knows that ya don't get suckered inta boxing with their damn kangaroo's as well.
  22. Re-jet mah left foot.............And yer gonna trust that fool to work on your scoot? Boomer.....who knows a lot of Dealers who are nothing more than rocks with lips and out to rob ya blind.
  23. That gives a whole new meaning to the term "butt ugly"............. Boomer......who figgers some Harley owner will jump on that deal shortly.....which does not say a hell of a lot for his taste in wimmen or motorsickles..
  24. PhotoBucket is easy to use and free. Link: http://photobucket.com/ Boomer.....who knows it ya put up any nekked wimmen there they get real riled up.
  25. If I had a garage I'd be all over that like green on grass......... Boomer.....who slides into an open carport and yells "YeeeeeHaaaaw" just like John Wayne.
