Looking forward to seeing you there Garry.....good luck at your appointments! randy:cool17:

Hey Don: Sorry to hijack the post....Beth has purchased her own bike, starting off small this year at least.....I'd like for her to have a full face "modular" helmet. Are there any decently priced retailers in your area? randy:shock3:

8:00 a.m. at the Raunchy Ronnie's golden arches sounds good Ian, we can hop over the bridge from there. Are we eating when we meet up with the rest of the riders or carrying on as if we're normal? Either way is ok for me, we can always grab a Tim's sandwich and coffee on the way in to the meeting spot. Beth likes those, but enjoys sitting down and meeting and eating with folks as well, either way is okey-dokey. What night you coming out for a visit? Sad day for a Leamington rider yesterday, that just plain sucks. Damn cagers! Is Garry coming down with us, are we following the land yacht, or is he travelling otherwise? I'm not sure..... We put on just over 500 k's yesterday, a little chilly and windy at times, but a great day in all. The boss finally gave me the word that I have Friday off.....big deal :>), I was GONE anyways! See you one night this week! randy:thumbsup2:

Hey Dragerman: I use the Mr. Clean Magic Pads to clean my whitewalls, they do a great job. randy:hihi:

Did you check gpscity.ca??? They are in Alberta....good to deal with and some good prices. Might be worth a look. randy:thumbsup2:

You can buy leather lid covers for your saddlebags. I've got them on mine, and the work great!!!! Check out e-bay, or e-mail me and I'll do some legwork and get the fella's addy that did mine. He's in Florida. randy:thumbsup: -
This is probably out of your way......but if you have the time, the scenery from Sault Ste. Marie to Wawa Ontario is absolutely amazing! You would thoroughly enjoy this ride. Great hills, running by Lake Superior almost all the way, it is one of my favourites. If you have the time, it is time very, very well spent. randy

I've had my midnite Venture since 04. Lived in small town Ontario, and have usually been the only black Venture, or Venture, period. We've since moved to Amherstburg, ON, Canada, and it's another fairly small town, under 20,000 folks, most kind...the rest like me. Well, there are now 3 midnite Ventures, right in town, including my own. Wow, growing by leaps and bounds!!! One hangs out the next street over, and the other is owned by a young fella that works in the meat dept. and the local Sobey's. Yahoo.......more folks that I can discuss bikes with!! Life is good! I'll make sure that they know about the great people on this site, and how to get here to enjoy everyone here. randy:Venture:

A little blue lok-tite is a good addition... randy:whistling: -
I had issues with mine sticking....the screws out of the "hinge" area had backed out, and were jamming the mechanism. Hopefully yours is nothing worse than that, but I'm pretty sure you'll find that is what it is. Guess I should clarify further, the screws in the lid "prop mechanism" hinge....right where it flexes...not a very good description, too early in the morning I guess. Right at the "bend" in the mechanism....get a good light and you should be able to see what I mean. Sorry for the crude assistance, can't explain any better at the moment. randy:doh:

Santa Claus brought me the Diamond R set x-mas past.....if he wasn't so good to me, I'd be on your list as well! Great looking item, appears that you've done a great job. Great price as well. I'll be watching for further developments! randy:banana:

Hi Larry! Looking forward to meeting you. Probably a good idea to grab a quick breakfast while we're all there, if that's ok with everyone else. If not, a washroom break at least! We'll see you there. randy:pushups:

Let's see what the weather brings in the next few days Gary. I don't mind cool weather, but rain and cool just isn't in my books. It would be great to be able to get together real soon. I'll keep you posted, thanks again! randy:thumbsup:

Any time I can get a weekend off is pretty much a good thing for me Carl.....and yup, it even get's to be just a wee bit exciting as well. Really looking forward to this get together, will be great to meet all and have a gander at their bikes and ideas. Just a hopin for good weather and all will be just fine!!! See you there! randy:scorched:

The shuttle? What the heck??? Aaaaaah, the land yacht, the mobile terra nova earth worm, the caddy of all created creature comforts....yeeeessssss! Can't speak for the rest of the bunch, but I'll do my best to keep up Synching the carbs before we go would be great Gary.....when would it be convenient for you? I am on graveyard for this week and next, afternoons after that. I'd certainly appreciate it. randy:banana:

Thanks Freebird! I'm sure as the time to head on out that we'll hook up with others.....Ibents for sure. randy:crackup:
-
Thanks for the reply YamaMama, Beth and I are looking forward to meeting you and so many others while in Ohio! So far it looks like we'll be hooking up with Ibents for the ride down, and hopefully a few more. randy:happy34:

I know that I could use a carb sync.....I've got the "vibes" when I accelerate. randy:bowdown:

Beth and I will be going to Freebird's maintenance day next month. We live in the Windsor, Ontario area, and will be leaving on Friday morning June 5th. So....is there anyone else heading down that way at the same time that would like to hook up and ride together? Anyone from further away that needs a place to crash for a night and then head out with us the next morning? We have 3 spare bedrooms(empty nesters). If anyone is interested in either or, either e-mail me or post it here, and we can make arrangements accordingly. We did leave it rather late, and have to book a room probably in Amherst, funny, because we live in Amherstburg. We are going wide open at work, and I wasn't sure if I could get vacation time or even a day off to attend maintenance day. Yes, the salt industry is going great guns....keep that global warming coming!!! randy:think: gunkylump@hotmail.com

Gravel....dirty four letter word that ends in a "k"..... Good thing is you are ok, and more riding is just around the corner.... randy:think:

I've been taking ColdFX daily for the last two winters.....it's an immune booster that works really well for me. No colds, no pneumonia....which is really amazing for me. It might be too late now that you're into a full blown cold, but it will help alleviate some of your symptoms in an orderly fashion. Good luck with it...and then, there is always......... BUCKLEY'S!! Tastes so horrible it would turn a dog from a gutwagon....but it works! randy:stirthepot:

Congratulations!!!! Absolutely awesome!! Headquarters going to be in the county or in the city?? We'll have to get together real soon if I can ever get a day off do a timmie's coffee or even better a barbeque??? Now, if I can just wrangle a day off..... randy:happy65:
