Have you ever seen the Angel sitting on the front of your scoot, or the one hanging on to the back? As was told to me once, God provides an Angel to ride on your car, one on each corner, only thing is if you've been drinking or are upset etc, they're not getting on when you go, and if you surpass the speed limit or knowingly do something else outside the law, they make themselves scarce in a hurry. If you haven't seen them, maybe a good time to ask for them. It may not save you from all your troubles, as this world is imperfect, but the thought is surely something to think about. It gives me peace and enjoyment on my scoot knowing that some one is there to help me out with the errors I make, and trust me there has been some of those.

Isn't it nice to know that we do not have to be worried, for we could belong both body and soul to a faithful Creator who would not let a hair fall from our head without His knowledge? Doesn't mean that there will be no pain or hardship, but it does mean that each one of us can be held in His care no matter what the circumstances, even all those in our downline. Now he has also provided insurance possiblities, so maybe that may be a thought worth considering in the very near future . When I think those thoughts, as I often do, there is only one thing to do; look up, and be thankful for His promises and that he is still there.

I always thought Ontario was bigger than Texas.

It's a tough one for you and a good reminder for the rest of us. Pray that you will heal well and completely, and how's the scoot we all want to know when you get around to it.

Ditto two

Or how about an ALL SAINTS RIDE. We could do this over a period of time, say the 5 days mentioned earlier, and the post pictures of all the saints we have met. St. Petersburg St. George St. Louis St. ???????????????? We could include streets and towns.

There's a post somewhere on this site on how to get it up, but it's quite easy really: When the scoot falls over, turn your back to the scoot, put the center of your butt to the edge of the seat, one hand on the handle bar and one on the back grab bar, and walk backwards, pushing into the seat with your butt, and up it goes. Be prepared to do this twice as the first time you may walk it too far and have to do the same from the other side. Mine laid itself down this summer along side a hyway while I was paying more attention to the trailer it was supposed to be towing. It only had about 30 seconds rest before it was back up straight once more. My wife had never seen me do this so she was on the high side trying her very best to give assistance. Boy that was hard work she said, and I kind of laughed and said: Not at all I didn't even sweat with you helping me. NOTE: experience is a good teacher.

I almost did, but then remembered I'm in my shop and don't have bugs. Now I've been thinking, what can I do to get back at him. maybe we should have a contest to see who can bug him the worst.

Lets see here, a motel in Fort Erie, then one in Hamilton, maybe stopover in Cambridge as well, that's 3 nights. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so you could make it by Monday, all week to rest up and then back home again on Friday, ready to start work on Monday. Long ride and many stops but you can do it, I'm sure you can.

What brings us together, what happens when you need to come to the site and read the posts to find out what's happening, we become acquainted with each other and become the family that we are. With a news letter I'm afraid that we may loose some of that aspect, a lot of us may just go with the report in the letter and not visit here anymore. I know, it would also keep others more informed, but the intimacy would be lost. With 3500 members there is a good side in that who ever chose to receive such a letter would be a little more in the loop, but if we start to loose our regular posters, we would loose camaraderie. I guess my fear is that since I've found something special here, I really don't want to mess with it and then end up losing what we all seem to really enjoy. Once a news letter is in place it will be hard to turn back the clock and go back to the way it was, so, if it ain't broke, don't mess with it.

About when does?
Marcarl replied to a1bummer's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I've got about 55,000 mile on mine and it's just starting to go when I get on it hard and high. Normally I wouldn't notice it,,,,yet, so it's fix it this winter. -
Some of these guys are butchers. others are better, but most of the time it still hurts, feeling for ya and hope you heal quick. Wife says take some Arnaka.

Is a rattle classified as noise?

Looking forward to good news Larry, let us know, we're interested.

What's this I hear about a bike cleaning bee, we got Gambler, right handed, and Eck, left handed?, hey we can get both sides of the scoot done at once. The riding part I also noticed but I will need something to do while they clean mne, so I'll sacifice my time and see if a second gen is all it's pumped up to be, and oh ya Gary, you know it's not good to let your bike sit with only a half tank of gas, so you should top it up ASAP. By the way, Gary, I was not in the 'cutting' loop either, I suppose that what happened, but I'm glad it seemed to work out ok and you are on the mend.

You best keep that lid on, they may not like the colour underneath it either.

Venture Speed Wabbels
Marcarl replied to yamahamer's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Tire pressure is important but so are the steering head bearings. It's a good thing to do every once in a while, test out the system by easing up or letting go of the handle bars at slower speeds, this will bring out the worst in the problem department and indicate that there will be an issue soon, and better at slow speeds under control, then at 140 k going down the hyway. -
Say hi to our Naughty girl, and give her a little squeeze for me. Hope all goes well with you as well, now that you're doing double maybe even triple duty.

You mean he's got REAL BIG cheeks??????? oooolala

My mechanic has been a busy one lately. I’ve noticed that a lot of my friends also show up at his door asking questions, getting advice, sharing a story or two and making him laugh with some of their jokes. I just don’t know how he keeps up with the, now two, shops that he looks after plus his family his property. I sure glad he’s got some help with some of the locals. What bothers me sometimes though, is how long will he stay on. Very few of his customers pay him anything because he just won’t present a bill, he says it all from the goodness of his heart, and I believe that to be true. The other day though, I did leave him a little something so that he could maybe repaint the front door or maybe replace the chairs that we seem to have worn out by sitting on and watching him work. I’m thinking to make up a sign so that more of the other ‘locals’ will leave a little bit so that this winter when it gets cold, it could be a little warmer when we sit around and chat. I figure that with a little over the 3000 customers he has, we should be able to keep quite warm this winter. Yep you guessed it, MY MECHANIC is this site and if I need to say more this part will have to go to part 3. I really think that just counting the bike info we get, let alone all the other entertainment, comradery, prayers, support, physical help, and more, that we get from this site, we certainly would not want to forget to place just a little something in the donation box. Ok I’ve said too much, but it’s been on my mind and I couldn’t shake it. Now it’s done. Carl

EATING!!!! WHAT ELSE????

When in an emergency state we often can do things that we thought never possible, good for jack to put himself out like that, many others wouldn't have, he's a HERO #1. I just pray that it didn't hurt his back again, and blessing to Dave that he may heal well and quickly. We'll pray for you all. Carl

Can this be done \ CB into Intercom
Marcarl replied to Marcarl's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Thanks for all the info, cold weather is coming, the scoot will be in for a total check up and then maybe we'll also get rid of all that static on the CB and radio. Still 3+ months to go til January, so until then it's status quo.
