Seems I recognize him,,, yep I met him real personal like, even gave him a hug,,,,,,bit of a varmit I agree,,, most of us wouldn't recognize him because most of the pictures of him have him with a beard and I noticed he is going incognito,,, he cut it off. Put a beard on him and you'll see who he is, instantly. Tell ya, those old goats will try anything to get with the crowd. Looks like he not only likes 1st gens, but owns one as well,,,, has that owner look about him he does.

Hey Brenner,, you is not so very far away,,, only in Welland eh???? you and that Dogman guy should get together and join us on a Wednesday night ride (not this week though, we is gone). HEY!!! we can show you how to group ride!!! yes sir, we love to have you join us, and when we break up and go home, you could be closer to your place than I'm to mine. We ride perfectly, do everything right. Ok enough BS. but you would be welcome to join us and find out how this group rides,,, we'd like it and so might you. If we don't like what we're doing, we change, so that we do like it. We have nothing to prove (other than the fact that the Spyder is fast!!!) but go out to enjoy the country side and sample ice-cream........ oh the lake is calling already,,, and Grand Island BBQ,,,, and then the river on the way home,,,, nice ride planned already,,, that was easy!!!

Got me all thinking and then maybe helping. 1) groups are not to be more than 10,, less would be nicer. 2) road captain and tailgunner must have communications. They have work to do and can't fall asleep. Don't want to work,,, don't be either!!! 3) forget the speed limit,, ride with traffic. If you can't ride that fast, pick another road. You may be able to go slower, but if you're holding up any traffic you're asking for trouble. 4) Don't,,, repeat, don't make room for a cage to pass you in your lane. It may seem to be a nice thing to do, but what if all of a sudden there is oncoming traffic???? they will take you out in a heartbeat. 5) Don't slow down for cops,,, they're there to protect you and if you slow down and bunch up traffic behind you, there is a good chance you'll get an award for doing so. 6) If you're going to group ride, watch the traffic. when nobody, yes nobody is around, take up 5 miles if you like, but if there is traffic stay together,,, 2 seconds behind the bike in front of you. Any further than that and you become a new group with you as the RC. 7) ride staggered, with the RC and TG in the same track. This is to protect the group, define the group and make sure that everybody is where they belong. 8) Use right lane when feasible, but when on-ramps get busy, get away from that problem area, maybe shuffle on over to the left and pickup some speed. 9) everybody rides their own ride,,, nobody is stuck with the group. If you don't like what the group is doing, get out. Your mind is no longer on riding safe as a group, but you are now getting ticked about others and the self focus is gone, and remember, if you back off and leave too much room you are now your own group anyways. 10) when on a 4 lane, ride staggered, when on country roads with no traffic, ride single if the RC allows. Enjoy the ride whenever possible. 11) take a break every hour to hour and half. It can get mesmerizing riding steady at a given pace. Play it safe and give time for camaraderie. Also helps to get the mind back to riding rather than how sore the butt is, or the stiffness of the legs, or 'I got to go P' syndrome. 12) everybody starts with a full tank,,, full tank! 13) lastly or maybe this should have been firstly,,,, you're riding in a group, be a group. Groups do things together, care for each other and others, and if there are too many, it's no longer a group but a congregation, and in a congregation there are too many opposing opinions to work together smoothly as a group should. 10 riders max!!! if there are 11, it's 2 groups, 5 and 6. Ride safe, enjoy!

Most of the time I seen Bobbie laying down,,,, ticked me off a bit because it was my afternoon nap time and here it looked like he was getting his in,,,,,, Becky was nice though,, she said that when she was done cleaning the gazebo I could relax in there with her keeping an eye on things. I then thought about what might be said or reported on the site here,,,, then I thought about some story teller and all at once I was back to doing what I set out to do,,,, screwing up Bob's trike!!!! Did I say that???

Oh,, so you're back are you??? thought I could squeeze this in without your assistance. But I will answer you questions seeing as you so nicely asked. 1) Can't send her on just yet, I made a vow and vows are made to keep. There have been clouds, but they always bring the rain and make way for sunny days so the crops can grow. Anyways, she's a keeper, and we are together!! We may not have it all together, but together we have it all. 2) I have found Marca to be a wonderful student, and she has a great memory. She always knows who did it when something goes wrong and knows who has the right information. Just ask her sometime who has the brains, and she'll be sure to tell you. hope she doesn't mention me. 3) Just in case you haven't found this out yet,,,,,,, there is more to this boy than just good looks, but as far as looks are concerned I often get asked why I have a beard,,, I tell them that I try to cover up as much as I can so others won't feel so bad about themselves,,,, it's hard to be humble!!! And yes the haircut was a good one, but she also had glasses at that time, but didn't wear them often. Any more questions???? Answers are always available, but I'm off on Tuesdays,,,, Marca goes swimming,,,, and Thursday afternoons because then she out shopping, but for the rest of the time I can usually ask.

I've used Rain Away, from No Touch. Has to go on wet, so mostly I use Mother's wax,, works good.

Ya Eck is kind of real,,, I've laid eyes on him once or times two. He does ride a wing and those things are kind of quiet,,, have to take a second look to make sure there is one there,,, or park it right out front so people trip over it. I've also noticed that it does take some time to keep them in sight, 'course that's why a Venture has a brake pedal, otherwise those pokes would never get to eat any ice-cream.

Joined early on in 06,,, had bought my Venture in the spring of 05 and needed some advice,,, ran into this bunch and convinced Marca that we needed to put on a M&G,,, so had to become a member to post,,,, bummer!!!! but hey,, it was free!!!!! so good news for a Dutchman,, we'll take it!!!! Just needed to know if folks on here were actually real,,,, ya Puc,, you weren't the only one. Had only a little bit of trouble at that first M&G,,, didn't expect soooo many bikes, but solved the issue and it's been good ever since.

Good to hear that things are changing for the better,,,,, keep it up!!

Now that is not a pretty picture,,,, How does one wash his brain????

45 years ago, June 19th was also on a Friday. I remember, because I went to work in the morning, worked til noon and then spent an hour or so getting all fancied up with a haircut and massaging and all, and then went to a party,,,and ended up in bed with a wife. Been kind of leery about getting a haircut since,,, not because I don't love my wife, but I think that I wouldn't want that to happen again with her around,,,, she has told me!!!!! only one,, that's it!!! Don't know why she says that,,, guess it must be for protection for all the other ladies out there,,, doesn't want any of them to have to deal with the same issues she's had to over the last 45 years. 45 years and she still sleeps with me, cooks supper on a regular basis, does the laundry, looks after the kids and allllllll those grandkids,,,cleans the house, answers the phone, does the shopping, buys my clothes, reminds me of things I need to do,,,,, and things I shouldn't do, takes me out to supper, arranges family things,,,,,, do I need to go on. I've been blessed,,, very blessed. Thanks Marca, for being a great wife and an awesome mother and grandma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she cooks real good!!!! that's important!!!

So when is it that you're going to invade our country. We'd like to show hospitality and greet you,,,, but if you want to stay hidden, that's OK as well,,,,, sounds like you might be going right through our territory.

If you have a dongel and a curly cord, could be the connection between the two. Try a different dongel. -
Getting fork tubes into trees?
Marcarl replied to syscrusher's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You'll need to loosen the big nut on the center at the top of the tree, then both the lower and upper can swing to line up. -
