  1. I think we'll need more info. Do you have a passenger on two sides?? right and left. What kind of passenger do you have that you need to have a rubber for? OK OK,, all fun aside,,, maybe you could explain what you mean by rubber.
  2. I would love to back you Bob,, I mean I did see it,, but you know about this age thing,,,,, well I just can't remember when,,, but I knowed it wasn't today when you was here.,, But we did have a long talk about air-conditioning.
  3. Want some help??? I got a trunk rack for you.
  4. With the diaphragm seated properly on the slide there should be no gathering of material around the outside of the slide. To work the material into proper position use a credit card or something similar. Once you have the diaphragm installed properly you can usually get them to seat well onto the carb by reaching inside the carb and holding the slide to the outside as you install the cap. I have done as you described and later found that the diaphragm had not seated as well as I thought, and so ruined the seal of the rubber in the process. Tricky business this. This thread describes what I mean. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19271
  5. Don't mind helping at all,,, sounds like a good time coming up,,, let me know when.
  6. Ultimate does give a guarantee, I surely thinking about giving them a try when the time comes.
  7. WHAT???????? MORE ICE-CREAM????????? boy, am I glad I joined this site....... MARCA?!?!?!?!?!
  8. That just might happen, seeing as they still have some in the parts dept to get rid of.
  9. 1985 xvz1200, Venture Royale.
  10. Not necessarily a good feeling. I suppose it depends a lot on how well we got along, how long we spent together, the ups and downs we shared. There were many good times, and some times that were downright scary. I helped her a lot,, when she had a broken foot, when she couldn't see so well, when she wasn't eating proper, when she had trouble getting home in time, when her joints were sore, I fed her when she was hungry, sometimes even is she was not,,I cleaned her glasses, got her drinks, and even got her new shoes when needed. Boy,,,, she is going to miss me,,,, I'll bet she's going to miss me,, she was getting a little jealous having to share her place with a much younger one with much brighter lights, and blonder hair,,, I hope she'll be happy with her new man,, he seems like a guy that will handle her with care, and keep her CLEAN as she likes it. Yep,,,Scamper has a new home,,, soon we will likely have to welcome Bryan Stoner from Wainfleet,,, who so far has enjoyed the ride,, even in the rain.
  11. If we is in the dire need of a burger we only go to one place and one place only,,, and that be Carl's,,,,,, yep, oncet you have had one of their burgers it gets pretty hard to stop anywhere else. If the stomach is thinking that maybe the throat's been cut we'll just pull over, grab a soup or something easy, and then dead-head home before it gets much tooo bad.
  12. I second that motion!!
  13. Best that I've found to work against mold is to keep the place dry,,, so I keep the furnace blower going 24\7 with total circulation through the house, and so keep the basement warm.
  14. Good to hear you is OK,, bet you're already mending. Sorry about the new to you scoot,, and we'll see how we can mend that up as well,,, just let us know how we can help. PS, I know where there is a 2nd gen, not too far away from you,,, maybe he won't miss a part or two,,, on second thought, you do want to stay fast, so maybe not such a good idea.
  15. Would not want to stop you from doing that,,,, no sir!!! We'll see what next Wednesday brings.
  16. Just so you know,, 83 to 85 used a different slide that the 86 and up. They will work, but the hole in the slide is slightly larger in the later models.
  17. That be Mother,,, but that NOT be Sherri!!!
  18. I seen him eyein' 3 wheels the other day,,,,, and I think Mikie liked it!
  19. OK Don, ball's in your court. Name the times.
  20. Ya,,, that's a favourite road,,, yes it's gravel, but it's worth it sometimes. What time at the caboose??? Don't forget it takes time to hug and eat and all that stuff.
  21. Now finally I can help out. The hole is designed to be at the bottom,, that is closest to the engine,,,, why???? I really can't tell you, other than the fact that it is probably warmer there and so there is less chance of snow clogging the hole,,,, and yes, you can get snow it the throat of a carb.
  22. Congrats, you at least will know the time and the date,,,, me????? they just slowly on told me that I wasn't needed anymore,, well not that day anyways, and then maybe the next, but,,,, hey Dad, what you doing tomorrow?????? finally I told them,,, my kid and crew,,,, they were on their own,, kind of more or less,, so yes, I'm now retired officially,,,, well most of the time,,, unless they need me..... opps there goes the phone again, time to wake up!!!
  23. Wednesday is coming up soon,,, anybody looking for ice-cream,,,, we could meet someplace maybe,,,, we might even let you follow us,,,, or lead the way,, now that would be different.
  24. So who is the lady in pink?
