Marcarl

And hey.... I'm Dutch,,, well dutch decent,,, so where I can save, I scrimp,,, so you wouldn't get one!

Now that you've brought that up, I've been thinking about just that,, and I'm thinking Marcarl's InvitationIn. Have you got your invitation yet???

Bought at Lockhart Odessey in Courtland.

I have an 85 that has the carbs done, valves set, second gear fixed, valve gaskets, all wheels bearings, swing arm bearings, steering head bearings, progressive springs, good rubber and brake pads, splines greased, oil changed, lots of fancy stuff,,,,, hey, it may be cheaper to buy Scamper than to rebuild the one you got!!:happy65:

Aren't you a week early?

Nothing is impossible!

Steering head bearings: Too loose and it will wobble. Too tight and it will want to go it's own way. You have a bit of leeway between the two, less than 1\4 turn, and where you adjust it to will have something to do with rider preference. If the bearings aren't properly greased, you'll never get it right. If the bearings are worn, you'll continue to have problems, it may seem at first that the problem is solved, but it will come back to bite you.

Glad you got it fixed, stuff happens.

I think Summer is getting to old to expose herself.

What ever it is, it's going down!

To be perfectly honest, we didn't test ride the 2014, but did spend a day on one from Pioneer Motorsports a couple of years ago. At that point we decided that we liked the Venture much better and had no real reason to change,,,yet. But as time wears on I felt it was time to make the jump. The 2014 is a different machine, and yes we did do a u-turn on it,, it's the only thing we did actually,,, the barn yard will just have to wait. I WILL MISS THE VENTURE,,, I DO ALREADY!!!! So there is an awesome 85 for sale, let me know if you are interested.

I wondered how it would do in the snow,,, you know how I like that stuff,,, I can see me now already

Well it's a start, albeit it doesn't fit in the donation jar. Thanks Don,, you're all fun.................ds

Guess the tank will be full,,,, donation jar attached,,,,, still can't get over spendinng that kind of money,,,,, but then if everybody brought along a single K, it would all be paid for!!!:happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::happy65::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling::whistling: That's enough to drive me nuts!!!!

How did you know that?????

Didn't put CB on the list, simply because it don't come with one, and for the cost of it,,, I'm real Dutch. Will have to come up with another solution,,, maybe I'll take 'Talks-a-lot' along.

Order is in, and with any luck at all will be on the road on Monday. It's a 2014, RT-S SM6, Cognac with a trailer hitch. So that makes it 3 wheels, 1330 power plant, 120 amp power supply, cruise, radio, true reverse, push out the front heat relief, 2 rads, 6 speed manual, light package,,, must I go on. Ya, it's a lot of bucks, but I thought now that they come out with a real machine,, 3 cyl, 115hp, why wait. The 85 is still in really nice shape and I'm not getting any younger,,, yet!!! Marca has a bit of an issue with her knee and back so climbing on the Spyder is easier than on the 2 wheels, and I don't mind having one either. Gonna take a little getting used to, but hey, that will come. Still gonna wear the regular glasses, helmet, gear,,,,,,, and so on, so you will able to recognize me,, but not for long, this baby moves out!!!!

Soooooo, finally found the trigger.

Get yourself a thicker cord and another Dutchman, it'll stretch,,, trust me, they did it with a penny!

Wishing and Hoping won't get you into that realm.

Only when they go from NY to Ohio

It's too cold and you're paranoid...... maybe?

I think Carl has an extra one or two even,,, don't remember how that happened, but I believe it was a brain fart or something, I'll have to ask him sometime.

YA,, but not near as much fun,,,, and hey, I'm all for it, might even work out that Saddlebum buys me lunch.

So when will they arrive in Burlington?
