We all knew all about those events and figured FreeBird was safe for at least this year, now we'll have to get him a Bird Mobile to keep him safe from you.

Here's the scoop: 1985 Venture Royale 148,000 km New stator and RR AGM battery showing 12.36 volts, sitting for 36 hours All lights are LEDs except for headlight, signals and driving lights. LEDs are wiring in to the running light circuits at random, and brake lights are LEDs as well. Outside temp about 10 degrees C or 50 degrees F Here's the gremlin(s) Wayne and I were out for a ride on Wednesday night. Rode for about 1.5 hours then stopped for coffee. Wayne said that one of my LED banks in my trunk was flickering, so after coffee went out to check it out. I turned on the key to light up my life and low and behold, NONE of the LEDs were working. I tried again but still nothing. So I fired up the scoot and revved it up, blink, blink and all the lights were working. Turned everything off and had the same scenario. So I drove home figuring to check it out and fix the issue. Now I don't have any issues at all,,,,can't get it to repeat. Did I leave the gremlins at Timmies, or are they hiding somewhere?

You could have made a shorter garage, or lower the roof,,,, or moved to a different neighborhood.

My wife says I have 6 kids and 17 grandkids, not bad for a 25 year old Dutchman.!.!

Bet they were in a hurry and thought it was a HD, and when they stood up to give the final yank they realized that it was a real bike,,, so they left it! -
Depends on where we are going.

Not a whole lot of luck at this website Earl,,,, maybe did something wrong,,, could you check it out?

I have a resistor on my scoot that works for almost anything. If there is too much voltage it gets switched to amperage on the fly, and if the amperage gets too hot, it dissipates through the helmet. I have not tested it for small items, seeing as I don't have a small item situation, but I am sure that if I had a small item that would be resisted as well. As far as letting out the smoke is concerned, if and when that should happen, I suggest leaving the scoot where it's at and run for safety.

Never had that happen to us,,,, I can only imagine the feeling of loss. Praying for you all, and will ask for the Comforter to be present.

Can't really say that I'm starting a ride night again just yet, but tomorrow looks good so I plan to go for ride. Next week I have a meeting, but after that it will be every Wednesday night. 6:30 pm is when I plan to leave,,,, any comers or hangers on?

Just by chance I have a Slip Stream on mine, it's a part donation from another member here,,, I forget who. Anyways, I've had it installed for 6 seasons, and so far am a happy camper.

No, there was nothing wrong with the Avon,,,, the Metzler had a piece missing, showing the threads. Sorry about the confusion, guess I figured everybody had a handle on the Metzlers.
-
Now is that Lancaster, or Lancaster? Only 10 toolboxes,,, ya right,,,,, have you looked on your workbench lately, and the shed out back, and under the workbench, and in front of Blondie and behind Blondie and on the walls???
-
It even kind of looks like a Venture,,, maybe it's a VentureWannaBe. Best of all to you and your new ride,,, enjoy!
-
Don't want to make this another tire thread,,, no need,,,, just want to report that I was riding with a friend yesterday, who rides a Wing,,, not that it matters,,,, but he had his tires changed to Avons,,,,,,,,, from????????????? Metzlers,,,,,,,, and why am I making this post??????? he was surprised that when they showed him the rear tire there was a piece missing. It was time to change the tire, but not super urgent. We do not know the date on the tire, how many miles or how long it's been on the scoot. just so you know

Cheektowaga,,, your kidding RIGHT?
-
Funny thing about that story,,, is that it sounds just like you two..... what town were you in?

Probably to biggest complaint I hear from a GPS owner, is that they can't see it in bright sunlight. It really depends on what you like as to what you get used to. Each has it's advantages and drawbacks. For a MC, it should be able to take vibrations, somehow keep the water out and should be glove friendly. But if you can't see it in broad daylight, it becomes kind of useless at times and you'll be disappointed. If you have a sound system on your scoot, you want to make sure that it will integrate with your sound system or you won't be able to hear instuctions when riding. If you want it to be an MP3 player, that should be there as well. The Zumo 660 does everything I want it to,, almost, there always something missing,,,,,,,,and oh, if your name is Carl you'll want to make sure it's drop resistant as well.

Looks like that a sign of 'things' to come, best get the place child proofed.
-
That sure be a nice looking scoot,,,,,, now keep the shinny side up EH!!!!
-
Hey take it easy on the guy,,, after maybe 5 of those he's going to have a failure of some sort,,,, but you can give Taters a hug for me,,, just a little one to keep her until I see her next. Congrats you two,,,,,, and Thanks Taters for keeping Tom around,,, now come the end of July,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Lower fairing cowling-HELP!
Marcarl replied to Yamamike's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
If you decide to cable tie the lower part, don't tighten it, it designed to be able to flex and tightening it will put undue stress on the upper tabs. -
So you're going to have a Class Meet & Greet at your place,, everybody is going to want you to deal with their Class issues. Best get the food ready. BTW, your story had me sitting in the dentist chair, no wonder your scoot fixed itself.
