That's why we don't plan on where to go until we have taken stock of who's coming along,,, so if you come on the evening ride, we would end up near Dunnville somewhere,,,, just to be accommodating,,,,, As for Wednesday aft,,,, sure sounds good,,, I'll need fresh fuel for after 6, so this gives me a way to clean out the old stuff,,,,,,,, Ya I know, it's been almost a week since I refueled, so I don't trust it so much,, time for some fresh stuff again.

I would think that they could just get one of those BIG FAT CATS to go and sit on the end of the pipe,,,,, that should shut it done right pronto,,,,,, if not, feed him some beans before they send him down there. As it is, there must be good money to be made with this somehow, it seems almost unrealistic that it would take sooo long to shut down one pipe. You would think that there would have been a backup plan somewhere.

For the last 3 years we had a Tuesday night, ride night,,,, this year we ride on Wednesday nights. Leave our place, 26 Madeleine Road, Brant, (new address) at 6:30 pm, if that works. If earlier or later would be better, let me know. We ride for the joy of riding and BS. Normally we ride for 'coffee' or ice cream, until it's just about dark. We have no real destination and don't really know what direction that is in, until we leave,,,, kind of all depends on who's coming along. You don't have to post that you're coming, Marca and I will ride anyways,,,but if you are later than 6:30 you might find us gone. If we know you want to join up,,,we can wait. Starts this Wednesday May 5 2010.

What have you been doing???????????? take it a little easy on that second gen, at this rate it'll be worn out before you!!!
-
So what are you doing this Wednesday?
-
I notice that with the new add-on no 'elmets are required,,,, should catch on real fast, I'm gonna put in a stock of those,,,, maybe better than the meat business.

Rear End Cap
Marcarl replied to Chaplain's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Have you got a picture? If I'm thinking right you only broke off the cover that covers the filler plug, not a biggie. The drain is at the bottom and the filler plug is half ways up at the rear of the pumpkin. The plug needs an allan wrench to take it out, and the cover prys off,,,,,but a picture would help. -
Sounds real good at his point,, looking forward to it for sure.

You really haven't visited Canada, unless you have visited Marcarl's VentureIn. You're one of the lucky ones to be so close on the right weekend, and it's only 1.5 hrs west of the falls by slab, and as long as you want if you go through country. Through country is the way to go, and although I would not expect you to get lost, it's always nice to have a guide to show you around. Another weekend and I would offer to be your guide, but for some reason I feel I should stick close to home those days,,, hear there's going to be some bikers in the area and you just never know what they get up to. Maybe someone else will offer to guide you in from the Falls. Three hours riding will get you nice scenery and the best burgers around for lunch, then some comradery and more riding with a great supper to share with fellow VentureRiders.

Thanks for sharing Don. It's good to hear about life, other than MC once in a while. Posting like this gives us a little larger window into who we are, and makes us a bit more family. My condolences to you my friend and may the Creator be a comfort to you. Carl

If you are really worried about when your engine is broke in, just bring it down here, and let me at it,,, for an engine is much the same as a women, they both need to be treated right, right from the start, and some good experience is really helpful here. Now I know that your engine already has some miles on it,,, so it is a bit used,,,, that takes some more expertise, I not sure I have it, but for you,,, and just for you, I would be willing to give it a go. It will probably only take a few hours,,,, if you drop it off the first of the week, with any luck at all, you should be able to come back and pick it up by the weekend.

I suppose they now call me retired,,,,, I'm mostly more tired after having to get our place ready for,,,,,, guess what,,,,retirement!!!!!!! YA!!!!! so if I have an opportunity to go for a ride,,,, mostly,,your on, just let me know. That being said, Tuesday aft, Thursday most of the day and late Fridays my presence is kind of expected in the business,,,, but I am still the boss, so that counts for a little bit.
-
I suppose they might be right,, we are not like them at all,,, last I noticed we rode with a Harley, a 2nd gen and a Victory,,, and the Victory even kept pace with the first gens,,,,, course it takes 1600cc to do it,, but she came along just real nice. Nah, we ain't nothing like them at all, if we were,,,,, oh never mind, I don't want to spoil a good thread.
-
Well,,, so you dared go right past my place,,,, well almost I suppose,,,,, Don't ever try that again, or I'll have to hunt you down,, hey now that could be fun.......
-
Something wrong with the back seat???? Trailer looks awesome, hope it works out well for you.
-
That must be from some other country,,,, we sure wouldn't do things like that in Canada,,, or the US would we????? Are those people on drugs or what???
-
Bet it was the dog,,,,, Hey there Taters,,, get well soon kiddo, you need to get back to looking after Tom good and proper, we worry about him,,,,sometimes,,, but mostly about you.
-
The first reason I like the Venture' is because I own one, no the bank doesn't own it, I do! The second reason is that while I ride a Venture, the Harley dealer won't talk to me. Guess I'd have to buy a Harley at the local Yammi shop, then ride it over to the Harley store and then maybe they would talk to me,,,,, oh well, not my loss.

Porper aiming has a lot to do with how much light you get. I set my low beam and the set the passing lamps just very slightly higher, too high and I loose all the effects. Yours are mounted higher so the setting will be different. Go down a road with lots of trees on either side,,, at night of course,,, then you can see what exactly you're doing when you adjust them. Then go home and shine them on a wall about 20' away, and now you'll have a good idea where they need to be set.

Well that just isn't far enough for a good ride,,,,, but maybe the folks from Kitchener would like it,,, they would have to go for at least a 10 minute ride to get there, and at their age that would spend the night. Just for the heck of it though, Brantford will be there this summer,, probably more than once. Thanks for the heads up. Carl

Frogg Toggs and we're happy with them,,, no get wet no more,,,also have the rain boots that go half way up the calf,, also keeps things dry. Jacket has a roll up hoddie that goes under the helmet to keep the back dry,,,,, yep they works good.

I got the edsets last year. I traded up from cheapie Chatterbox, and I don't listen to music much. Couldn't really tell the difference between the two. Guess maybe I was looking for hi fidelity. Now to be fair, the speakers aren't the speakers I use on my stereo, so they do have to be real close to your ear, and the amp built into our 1st gens are not what the edsets need to power them, so it's not necessarily the fault of the edsets, but probably an issue with the other components. So to keep it short, if all you want to do is talk, go easy on the price,, if want quality music then be prepared to make adjustments elsewhere as well.

Wow, doesn't anybody know how they has been married,,,, it must be a long long time me thinks. Have a great one, you two.
