    Ya I can see where you are coming from, but as said before there is another side to the coin. I'm not sure I got it all the way right but here's my thought on that. First, there are a lot of people taking the insurance companies for a ride and it's up to them to somehow decipher who's who. Maybe they don't always get it right and maybe sometimes they send out a human to do a god's work, can't be all that easy either doing that job, but that said, I really feel for an honest person when they are put through the wringer, Sherri for example, or Dan or a host of others. Insurance is also a business and in competition, and their costs are sky high, and some one has to pay for it all, that where premiums come in and why we pay so much. If there were less claims and more money to be made then more companies would jump on the band wagon and premiums would go down, as it is, a feller could be broke even before he starts in that racket. Elimination of bogus claims would sure help a lot as well. JMT Carl

    Don't want stretch into any argumentative type thread, but it would be nice for you to read what you wrote. Here you stated that it's ok for you to make money by getting some else not to make theirs, and now the question is, when you go to work do you offer to work the first hour for nothing? or take a reduction in your wages because your employer can find cheaper help?. I don't think so, but you are asking some else to do that for you?

    Darn, all the fun things happen when I'm asleep, guess I sleep daytime from now on.

    Maybe I'm reading between the lines too much, but it seems to me that you were very happy with your dealer, spending allllllll that money and sending more folks over there to spend their's. People don't usually do that unless they are quite happy with what's going on. Now you tell the dealer how much you have spent there and remind him of how many people shop there because of you and then you ask him for a 'favor', he probably assumed you were asking for it to be done for no charge. Then if you at times displayed the language there, as you attempted in your first post here, the dealer already has a handle on you and maybe is fed up with what he has to listen to, and now is asked to do a wide open freebie that could land him a bunch of trouble? I deal with customers every day and if one should get belligerent, well so long buddie, my peace in life is worth more than your business. Thanks for coming, but go bother some else next time, I'd rather see you 'happy' at the competition than miserable here.

    Now 'THAT WAS EASY'!!!!! But if we could set our fonts to our own standard so that each time we posted it would just come out the way we want it, THAT WOULD BE EASier

    My thoughts as well.

    Does this mean that every ride we go on with another VentureRider we get to post another number? must it be an eating place for a rest stop? maybe we should define it some more.

    Try pumping up the tire to about 60 or 70 lbs and then testing for a leak.

    We almost started a new language in our family when my 2 year old grandson, Hasten , was over one day and needed to have some 'kabuts' on his mac & cheese. We thought a first he was speaking Hebrew but soon figured out that 'ketchup' was the necessary item.

    There, now that you got all the answers, get to work and then post some pictures!!!!!!!!!

    55 watts for driving lights is lots more than what you need, I run 30 watts incandescent and am plenty happy. You also need to keep in mind the height of these things, the lower you hook them on, the brighter they'll be in the face of others and the less useful to you. Hook them higher up on the scoot and they will be pointed down to the road and give you more benefit and less bothersome to others.

    Remember: Just because the dealer did it, does not mean it's perfect, experience has taught me that.

    If you have read the Bible and believe what is written there, the prophecy for the end of time is that the state will control all people, we will have a one world government and consequently we will have total chaos. Gaining control over all people (well, maybe not all, but enough to take total control) does not happen over night, it takes time and the previous generation would not have let it happen. The next generation seems a lot better suited to be led around by the nose and scared or manipulated into following 'who knows who'. Maybe time to take a listen and realize that we very well may be living in the end of the age. We have not seen a shift in society like the one we are experiencing today, ever. Maybe time to wake up.

    Just my thoughts: When running in the bush and on the fields and only using the tire for a short time anyways, the dangers of tire failure and lack of traction due to poor rubber composition is probably not a big issue, like you said, the sharpness of the knobs is important. When running on the highway at speeds in excess of 30mph the composition of the rubber starts to become very important to maintain all the traction you can get, in dry or in wet. If you would like to be a guinea pig and see what the cheap tires will do, I'll listen when you tell us, if you are able to post after you find out. In my opinion you mostly get what you pay for and if the cheaper tire could be sold for more, they would put a higher price on it. This may not always be the case, but I become very sensitive when I see big price discrepancies.

    Thanks for posting Bruce, we'll keep up our end and look forward to better reports as time goes on.

    Diddo to all of that, except for spelling errors.

    Rear bearings could be an issue, do check that out seeing as you didn't have a problem before. The steering head bearing work as a damper on the steering, if they are too loose anything at all that is not perfectly aligned will cause a wobble. Do check out the steering head and tighten it up a little. I think you'll be surprised at results, not just for getting rid of a wobble but also in total handling of the scoot.

    Did he say anything about the whinning that comes from the back, above the seat level? Not that I have it, I have a smooth running 1st gen, but I have heard some talk about it and was just wondering.

    A big rip off I'd say, I was in at Car Quest just last week and priced it, was told $9.69 a can, in Brantford Ontario CANADA. I'd be going back to see what's going on.

    The church, being the body of Christ, is here to bless the world. Somehow I don't see this as being a blessing to others, nor does it testify of the love of the Creator. I'm sure glad there are more Christians than these folk. Nuff said. Carl

    I would think you got a bit of grease or oil on the rotor, if you haven't had this before. Get some brake cleaner in a spray can and clean it up good before you start to pull things apart too far.

    Thanks Lou, that was good to watch.

    Best be putting some of them in your trunk in case you come along the road one day and find a friend in need.
  24. Marcarl
    Some body might convince me to ride, anybody want to try to convince me?

    Feeling for you bud, if you need some 'help' let me know I'll see how it all shakes down. Be careful on the scoot and say hi to the phanthom wife, and hug her close. Carl
