  1. Mental?????? what mental,,,, who said that word???? now you got me tinking and that ain't easy.
  2. One time I was napping one the couch and my dog came over and nosed my cheek,,,, he never tried that again,,,,, he was big enough to live through the ordeal but I think the cat must have been watching,,,, not on it's life would it even dream of doing such a thing!!!!
  3. Well now,,, this puts a WHOOOOLE different perspective on things,,, I will make a decree that from this time forth and until the river doth us part,,,,the Spyder will be the lead bike,,,, YES!!!!! the road captain if you will. All along I thought it was bugs on my windshield,,,, now I'll have to take a better look. On a better note, I was asked the other day when I was going to get a hair-cut. I told them it will be a while, that I was growing a new crop for my Venture friends, seeing as they seemed to have lost enough fertile soil to grow their own.
  4. Carl now has a bunch. Haven't figured out yet how many extras or what colors,, but there are\is a bunch. Ok, I figured it out,,, just sent Brad his mola, so it ends up @ $5 ea. CND.
  5. Rootin' for ya Puck,, can't let old cow dirt slip on us now can we!!
  6. If you can pressurize the system and be able to keep an eye on the pressure, then that is going to be helpful. I would start with coolant in the system, that way something has to show up somewhere,,, right? ya right!, but that's what I would think anyways. If you pressurize without coolant, be sure to remove the spark plugs so that area will be covered as well. Keep us posted.
  7. Don,, your email got sent back as well,,, it's the one I got in my address book.
  8. Abdul,, gonna need your email. cnorg@silomail.com
  9. Hey, for me Carl's works just fine,, after all, it's bike night and bike night is bike night,,,, we ride on bike night and we fix on bike night,,, it's just whatever we decide to do on bike night. It's just that it's not a night for anything else,,, just bikes!! It is a bike you want fixed right?
  10. Yep,, you're right about that,,, Kitchener could go either way for the same timing almost, but you're shorter to join the Michigan bunch. Now you have to decide who you could tolerate more,,,,,,, ahhhh go south young man, can't be all that bad.
  11. Hi All. Just to get you all thinking about the last day of this month. That would be the 30th and of course the 29th because that is what this thread is all about. From past experience this is my thinking for this year: On the 29th, early in the morning, we gather at the Casablanca exit on QEW Niagara ready to leave at 9am. With any luck that should get us into the Oberlin area in time for supper and hopefully there will be some food left. My plan would be to cross the Rainbow bridge in the Falls, then take I90 from there, then 90 to Cleveland. A stop could be arranged at the Angola service center, another around Erie for lunch, then just short of Cleveland and then Elyria, check in and then go for supper. If we end up being late, we'll check in later. As per usual,,, comments will be allowed.
  12. Sorry Reiny,, Wednesday night is Bike Night around here,,, has been for years,,,,, which means that Wednesday nights is dedicated to things that pertain to bikes,,,, now what is it that you wanted?????
  13. First off let it suck the bottle dry and see if the rad goes down and keeps going down. That can tell you where the leak might be, system or overflow.
  14. You started a new thread, so refresh us on the some of the issue. How much are you loosing? When do you seem to be loosing it,,, sitting or riding? Does it stay up during a ride or are you loosing it while riding? Are you checking the bottle and the rad?
  15. Put some wheels on that boat,,, then drive it over there,, wouldn't have any problem with that in NewFoundLand.
  16. I can't see what all the flap is about,,, it's here, we're here, and Freebird is looking after us,,, there!!! and there is not here, so we should be good to go.
  17. There are some that are ugly, others that are butt ugly and then you had to post that picture,,, glad you didn't post mine!
  18. I just use nitril gloves over my leathers, warm and dry. Grip is good and if I need another,, no problem,,, they're only 6 or 8 bucks for a box of 100,,, so I can share them as well. Just make sure you them big enough.
  19. Ahhhhh guess you've never met the Rooster,,, it's a sight to behold I tell ya,,,,,won't fit on a video,,,,the speed is just not fast enough and the resolution is not near what it needs to be,,,, it's just something you only have the privilege of if you are present in person, and then only if you have both eyes on the go so to speak. Wanta come???
  20. Well now,, let's get that machine where we got some room,,, looks like a lot of bodies are going wiggling their way into place to perform surgery. Lots of room here, tools, wires, connectors, battery charger, and even some left over paint in-case somebody makes a mark that the Rooster shouldn't see.
  21. I think that Yamaha has got their thinking cap on. Over the course of time they have kept a close eye on who their customers really are and for the Venture it has not been the 20 year olds....... you know where this is going eh? Their customer base is the older, 40 and over group, and they need to decide just exactly what will these people buy so that they can continue to ride and spend their gobs of money on Yamaha products. I'll bet they are watching the sales of CanAm and Polaris, and maybe even have a better idea on the drawing boards. They have seen what they thought was my bank account and want some, if not all of it, and they also know that once I got used to riding what I am, I would never go back. So now,,, how to get some,, or all,,, of this old mans treasure. One thing they didn't count on though and maybe they forgot to check,,, is that I have DUTCH blood in my veins,,,soooo, good luck mamma!!!!
  22. Well it just shows how some people don't appreciate the farmer. Let's see what he's up to. All winter long he has tried his best to produce tasty steaks, clean milk, out-of-this-world cheese, lean chicken breasts, cheap chicken legs, tasty wings, lean burgers,,, but not for MacDonalds,,,, roasts of every size and shape, products for lip-stick, eye shadow and perfume, leather for your riding gear and shoes and car seats, products for drugs and other health care, and even bacon, ham, and pork chops. What you were smelling was the result of preparation for the production of, corn flakes, ketchup, relish, bread, buns, cooking oils, relish, onions, corn on the cob, canned corn, canned vegetables, cucumbers, tires, drugs, diapers, depends (now that is something you could be happy about), spark plugs, plastics, toothpaste, windex, soap, waxed paper, waxed cardboard, drywall, adhesives, peanut butter and ice-cream,,,, along with a whole bunch of other stuff that maybe would surprise you. Fact is, if the farm produced ingredients were taken out of your life today, you would be standing around naked, with no house to live in and no bike to ride, and you would be very very hungry. But it was not odourless last night. Some of the smells smelled like money ( I like dairy smells, I am a farm boy) but some of the odours they could have left waiting for today in my opinion. It certainly was a different sort of a ride, but on the same hand,,, interesting,,,, at least there was no chicken poop being spread.
  23. I'm hoping for both events. And by the way,,, just in case, because it seems that you're not tooo informed,,,, when she sees me, you'd better step aside,,, a lot of men didn't and a lot of men,,,, well I'm just saying and warning you.... be prepared.
  24. I think he was going through some of the same lessons a drummer has to learn to be successful,,,,, I think! Quite interesting to watch,,, and all along I'm thinking,,, come-on, can't be that hard,,,can it???
  25. Looks real nice,,,,, so when are you coming over here??
