Yes, I have them. They were delivered this week while I was out of town. I plan to get them all in the mail tomorrow. If anybody else is interested, I have plenty on hand right now. Ordering information can be found: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17406

Hey...I did that several years ago. You may be right....could be time for a update.

Why? I live 30 minutes from Cleveland and I'm not a Brown's fan.

Stebel Locations
Freebird replied to droptoppop's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I would be very careful about that. Though there looks like there is plenty of room, I know of more than one person who mounted small tool bags there only to have them dent their front fenders when they got on the front brakes a bit hard. Or maybe I'm thinking about another bike.....hmmmmmmmmm -
I've never ridden the Victory but I sat on one a few months back and it sure felt good. I also liked the style of the bike. I hope that it brings you many miles of happiness. I wish that you would stay with us though. You have been a long time supporter and friend of VentureRider.org and I would sure hate to see you go. It is always a dilemma that I struggle with when members move to other bikes and we lose their participation here. I have thought about it a lot over the years and just don't have a good solution for it. The fact is, this site was created to promote and support the Venture and Royal Stars and that is the strength of the site. When several members switched to the Goldwing, I finally created an area for it but it has been less than successful. The fact is, there are a number of good websites for the Goldwing where people can find much more information about that bike. I had hoped that there would be more input into that area and we could slowly build on that but it just hasn't happened. I know of other clubs that have started out dedicated to a certain make/model and then later tried to move to an "all bikes" format and it ended up hurting them in the end. The Venture Touring Society is a good example. When Yamaha discontinued the Venture in 1993, the VTS later changed their name to the Motorcycle Touring Association and tried to transition itself to an "all bikes" format. Though they are still around at this time, they are a shadow of their former self and though have tried a number of different things, they have just never regained the momentum to attract new members that they once had. I would be very hesitant to ever go down that path. I hope that you will stay and you know that we don't care what you ride but unless the membership here someday speaks very loudly that they want the format changed, this site will likely remain dedicated the the Venture and Royal Star bikes. OK...sorry...I know that I got long winded there but you just caused me to finally comment on an issue that I have struggled with for a long time. As usual, comments on this subject are welcome.

I have not driven one but I like what I have read about them and I think it's the best looking small car that GM has built in many years. I drove by the Lordstown, OH GM plant earlier this week. That is where it is built..at least some of them...and they had hundreds of them lined up waiting to be transported. I hope it turns out to be as good as it looks.

OK....now are you SURE? I have changed the timer but I did it the fist time based upon this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52735

LOL....yea...based upon some of the folks that I've seemed camped out around it...that it HIGHLY likely.

Hey, it could at least stand to be dredged.

Sure...you can line it up beside the driveway with Gary's motorhome.

It's an annual event that I hold at my house every spring. There are usually close to 300 people there. VentureRiders and their families. Here are some pictures from last years event. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/venturerider/Maintenance%20Day%202011/

They are offering a special rate for us. You have to call and tell them that you are with the VentureRiders to get the $79.95 price.

Bloodless Surgery comes to ANOTHER Texas Hospital
Freebird replied to Trader's topic in Watering Hole
and already it is turning religious. I think that this could have been posted with absolutely no mention of religion but it was not and therefore probably won't last long. -
Larin used to make a lift with adjustable saddles on it. I think they still do. I just feel so much better with the Carbon One adapter though. I've been somewhat watching for a decent lift/table though. I ran across a nice Handy Lift on the Cleveland Craigslist a few weeks ago but he never responded to my email. I'm in no hurry but would try to find the funds to buy one if I were to run across a good deal.

No, I didn't know that. I have a PM from you where you told me that it was May 26th. Now which is it?

Don's HONEY DO INN.

There will be threads in the Rally and Meet and Each areas for each event at some point. They should also be placed in the calendar. I'll add links from the countdown page soon. Corrected. SURELY you didn't expect me to get anything right the first time. Thanks. I will get it added to the rally page.
-
I've heard a couple of people say that they are ready to forgive and forget and give the Oberlin, INN another chance. Since I'm not staying at a hotel, it makes no difference to me.
-
OK folks, June 2nd it is. I have added it to the calendar. It was mentioned that school is not yet out is some areas. I do understand that and know that it causes an inconvenience for some. I apologize for that but I just do not have another weekend free without pushing this back by at LEAST a month and even then there are some conflicts. So, I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible again.

I've started rebuilding the VRRallies page with the countdown timers. I'm removed a couple that I already knew would not repeat this year. There are some that I am not sure of yet. If I don't get responses and dates soon, I will remove them also. I would appreciate it if you would all take a look when you get a chance and bring me up to date on any that you know about. http://www.venturerider.org/rally/

LOL...hey...I'm not knocking them in the least. I even said that there are some good instruments coming from China now. They just take a bit of a hit on the used market. I came close to buying a Fender Telecaster Squire a while back but then ran across a great deal on a Taylor Solidbody Standard. I've still got it and love it so far. Even at a great deal though, it was still much more than the Fender that I was looking at. I think I could easily make a few bucks on it if/when I decide to sell it though.

I would love to do this....but I would finish LAST..... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN3MFLwlsEg&feature=player_embedded]Insane Risks Motor race - Isle of Man TT - YouTube[/ame]

OK folks, it is time for me to start rebuilding our Rally Countdown page with the dates for our 2012 events. Please take a look at the events listed at: http://www.venturerider.org/rally/ Let me know if you hosted an event and will do it again in 2012 and what the dates are if you have set them. At this time, I have dates for the International Rally, Marcarl's meet and I've almost set the date for my Maintenance Day. I need your input on all the others and also any new ones.
-
OK folks, I'm trying to set a date for Maintenance Day. I always have to squeeze it in between company meetings, trade shows, etc. At this time, I'm looking at Saturday June 2nd. There will always be those who have conflicts on whatever date I pick but so far, this seems like the best date. I'm just putting it up for your comments.

No, it does not.
