That's the trouble with this time of year, soooo many 'Sundays', so much time off, days are all confused. A feller no sooner gets it together and has it in normal mode and then they tell him it's time to do something different again. I think New Years should be in July sometime, or maybe March. Enough is enough already. But no matter all that. Happy New Year you all. May many blessings surround you as you deal with all this world will throw at ya. By the end of this year, may you have found what is really the most important thing in your life, and then be able to enjoy.

No Problem Mr Bob, it was a pleasure to spend time with you and Becky. It's just something that requires doing when you're family and we was just fine with doing it. Keep us posted on the developments and the Spirits leading..

It's all Ben's fault. He has not been feeling on top of things of late, and he's getting on in years so maybe slowing a bit. I understand that the door got itself some rusty hinges, ( not enough used oil available from oil changes on his bike, because he didn't use it enough this year) and that leads to not being able to swing the door all the way open and then changes the current of the winds. Best thing to do to remedy this situation is to send him some jugs of used oil.

Here is just hoping that this day will happen, but not on June the 8th weekend. We have a grandson getting himself married on that weekend to a wonderful young lady who has him all wrapped around her finger. We will not miss this celebration, but then I don't want to miss MD either, if it happens.

Thanks Ben.!.! Where's the Line to See Jesus? Sadly to say that even those who say they are part of His followers lose the direction this time of year, so it's good to be reminded. That line though, will come, although it won't be a real line as such. It will be more like a cloud. Jesus will appear and He will come riding on the clouds and all those who are looking forward to that 'line' will see Him and rise to meet Him. I plan to be part of that 'line' and hope that there will be a large contingent called VentureRiders with me.

Today it's not only Christmas, It's also Dragonslayer's birthday. Happy Birthday Bob, and may you be blessed with many repeats.

Ya, I remember doing that once, just can't remember which once it was, or what the jack had on it. I can even remember doing it with a JackALL, that handle can sure take over some space in a hurry.

Not so fast there me boy, we just finished our shepherds pie. Note of warning, not all the shepherds were young and tender.

Thanks Don. And Wishing that each and everyone of the riders, passengers and additional families of the VentureRiders find true peace from the One who Christmas is all about.

This is a great time of year, a time for families to get together, get away from daily concerns to enjoy each others company and fellowship, maybe even get along for a day or so. We tend to forget what this celebration is really all about. Actually, it's a way, the only way, for any of us to get to heaven. If it hadn't been for the miraculous birth of The Redeemer, then there wouldn't be a chance to attain the peace and goodness that heaven promises to be. So let's celebrate the fact that there is an avenue to get there. Let's thank the King of kings and the Lord of lords for coming. Blessings to you all for the celebration, and may peace and prosperity be yours in the New Year.

One of my favorites, it's always my favourite when I hear about the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

Not really, we do need a couple of days notice this time of year, if we are to get there on time. NOW!!!! can you do snow as well?

Wow!!!! More Greek. I like Canoukian better, at least I know: SNOW,,,,,, and there hasn't been any. I think the old Fool has been sucking it all away, gonna have to get the Bummer to close the door for Christmas.

You may have used the wrong kind of sticky material to hold them in place when you installed them. You don't want to use something that gets hard.

Hope to see you there, along with your misses.

Back when I was 55, my wife and I discussed retirement and concluded that it would be best if I waited until I was old enough. That being said, we thought that 80 would maybe be the limit,,but then,,,,,,,,, I retired at 61, my son took over the business, and I was out of work, and I figured too old to look for a new job. I have been busy ever since, but am able to say: nooooo not today, we'll do that maybe tomorrow. Today I have enough work ahead of me to keep 2 guys busy, my second oldest daughter just bought a house that needs some work. House was built in 1933 and has had some updating, but we are doing a lot of renovating. Not my real kind of work, but I'm helping her anyways. Retired just means that a feller can work on a nap every afternoon, sometimes after supper and mostly before going to bed. It's not always as easy as it seems, and sometimes I struggle to keep it up, but hey, it's my favourite past-time so I work hard at it.

Could be,,, yep could be,,, but often enough the intake can be plugged, although sometimes it's the ignitor. The pull start seems to be working and in a few minutes the ignitor may kick in as well by the look of things. So it could be the carbs. Or on second thought it could be the operation of the operator and getting a different gender to work the operation might just do the trick.

Why not try changing the plugs first, it might not be so bad as all that.

I think Saddlebum figured you didn't need the door anymore, seeing as you weren't around to close it. It's steel eh, and the tariffs have had steel take a different turn, so being of Dutch decent (not a spelling mistake) he probably has it hidden away to use as collateral.

Prayers are always available. We'll hold you up to our Father that He will help you in this regard as well.

I think you did right boss, and 20 would be a good number. That way if a spammer wants to post some links or what ever, they have a bit of work ahead of them first, and work doesn't seem to be in their vocabulary. Good thoughts, carry on.

I don't think that SkyDoc has HEAT. He doesn't live North of the border and it's a big thing in Can A Da. You'll have to emport it. What ever you do, don't ride with stiff rubbers!

Now that you've pointed it out, I realize that your first post refers to your 07 and not the 86, sorry, my bad, I should have thought better about the 86, it probably doesn't need any work for upkeep or maintenance. It's still from the old school and looks after itself I bet. Now the 07,, yes,,, you would be well advised to do deep maintenance on it, but you won't have to worry about CLASS, that is only reserved for the first gens, because they HAVE class. And no worries about the washer fluid, you can fill it if you want, but we've had enough rain here to last for some time, so if you leave it that won't bother us none. Changing the air over to winter air is of utmost importance as any member here can attest to. The reason being that during the colder weather the rubber of the tire seems to get a bit stiffer and when things get stiff(er) it is best to add some heat to make things useful again and be able to run at full capacity. So winter air, for your info, contains an additive called HEAT, (High Exhaustion Amplitude Transducer) which in your case might be somewhat helpful, not meaning anything by that, just saying. I know that for some others it has been beneficial and somewhat helpful at times, all I can suggest is that you might give it a try if you're so inclined.

That's the problem with you new kids, you just think that everything just runs and runs and never need maintenance. Just because it's electronic doesn't mean that it don't need some love and care. Your speedo needs speedo juice just as any other speedo did in the past. What you need is called 'Electronic Flow Enhancer' EFE for short. All speedos should receive a treatment at least once a season, and more often under adverse conditions. If you find that the needle on your device is not consistent with the road speed you think is right, then it is high time that you induce some EFE. Many times the needle will start to stick, especially at the lower end of the scale where you might have an disagreement with the award dept of your local constabulary. So if that is a concern to you, you would be well informed to add a few drops from time to time.

Might I suggest to take all the brakes apart, master and calipers, clutch master and slave, kill switch assembly, lube the cables and swing arm, lube the speedo head, add stainless steel brakes lines and clean the CLASS control unit under the trunk.
