John and Dianne, Thank you for your posting and such a true and meaningful poem. I know this has also been hard on the two of you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Marion and her two daughters along with yourselves who where such good friends with Stephen and Marion. Dave and Bernie

I got my two yesterday. Thank you very much.
-
Gary, it sounds (and from the look of the pictures) like you had a great time. Salt on the roads already. Good luck getting it all out and off of your bike.

Bob, thanks for organizing this ride. It was cold, but we dressed for it wearing our ski pants and balaclava's, so the cold did not bother us. However, the snow that we rode through getting to Earl's (our meeting place) sure made for some memorable times for my wife. I wish we had gotten a picture parked beside some of the cars with the little bit of snow on them. We left Toronto at 7am and got home at 8:30pm. Thank you for all the offers to bunk the night at your homes. Our original intention was to spend the night, but the snow that we went through earlier put a little fear and desire into getting home before more came down. We look forward to our next ride together. Dave and Bernie

Ben, sorry to hear about your bike. Helpful neighbours are hard to come by, but with ones like that who needs the destructive kind. On another note. Big Tom ate your ice cream yesterday, and just in case that wasn't enough, I drank a milk shake for you.

Hello Doug and welcome to the site. Like Evan's earlier post, their are a number of us close by. Next weekend Sat Oct 17th there is a Western New York Fall Colour Ride if the weather permits. There is a posting about this ride. I havn't heard, but I'm sure there will be a few heading down from around here. My wife and I will be going down for this ride. In case you don't know, there is no fee or charges for joining any of these rides or meet and eats, other than what you may want to eat. I know some bike organizations have a small charge to raise money. So now there is no excuses. We we see you out at one of our gatherings soon. Dave

Gary, good question. Goofychuck, can you still open the saddle bag? If so I will have to get one of those for my wife. That is if they sell them in Canada.
-
Thank you Don for placing the order. The money for two has been sent via pay pal and my address was attached. Thanks again David
-
I bought two last year and love them. I lost one so I'll need another, but will order 2 please. 2 for me please.
-
Welcome back Gentlemen.... Good to hear that you had a great time and that the rain did not discourage you from your trip.

Rosie, I use a beer koosie and cut out the bottom inner circle and push it down over my gas cap. I saw this on other bikes at the Kitchenr Rally last year. At 140km/h the bottle of water doesn't even shake rattle or shimmy. You just have to remember when you gas up and take it off that you don't drive away and leave it sitting on the gas pump like I did with my excellent one hand operation Venture Rider stainless steel mug. I'm still mad at myself. Luckily my wife lets me use hers now.

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do drink water while riding the bike. I love riding and I don't want to have to stop just to have a sip or wet my lips sort of speak. My other bike I never thought of a cup holder and always had to stop to take a drink. With this beautiful comfortable bike, now I don't have to stop. I can keep on riding in comfort and have a drink at the same time. I love it.

I just bought one at Costco that fits both seats great.
-
Don, I am sorry to hear about your vision now. That must be very frightening on its own. I will pray as the others are that in November you will get postive news from the Doctors and that your sight will not get much worse. Dave
-
Wayne and Robin, I also would like to say thank you again, for a great ride and day. I'm sure glad my repairs where done in time to go along for the ride.
-
Wayne, my bike is fixed and I'm back on the road. I see from your first thread that you are leaving at 9am. Could you give me your address to punch into my GPS so I can get there without stopping and using a map? And besides, I don't have a map that will help me around Caladonia. How long should it take for me to get to your house from Toronto? Thanks Dave
-
Yes Wayne the Mechanic is doing it for free, the cost is of course the time delay. If I knew how to take the tire off that would be quicker, but I don't and the way I generally do things for the first time are always the wrong way, so I figured I had better not attempt it.
-
I have an extra vertibrae in my tail bone so I hear your pain. At the last Maintenace Day at Freebirds, I was lucky enough to be pointed in the direction where Rick Butler was doing his seat modifications. He cut a V in my seat where my tail bone would be and replaced the thin foam with a thicker memory foam. It now feels like I am riding on air. No pain or discomfort in my tail bone area. Good luck with what ever you do to solve your problem.
-
Wayne, I'd love to ride with you guys again, but I'm still waiting to get my flat front tire fixed. It doesn't look like the mechanic will be comming over to taking it off until Wednesday or Thursday and then not returning until next week to reinstall it. If it is sooner I will post and attend.
-
If I didn't already own one, reading that article would make me want to go out and buy one. I better get my tire fixed/changed so I can ride again. I'm missing the good weather.
-
Gary, Congratulations for you and your Son and new Daughter inlaw. The picture of you and Mary show that the weather also gave its blessing. Dave
-
Fantastic job you did. Congratulations and enjoy the heck out of it now.
-
Brad, it's good to hear you had a great vacation. Sorry I will be missing you and Lonna on Aug. 22nd, I would have loved to have been there for your meet and send off with all the Venture gang (crowd, maybe sounds better). I hope your move goes as smooth as a move can go. Dave

Well I made it home from Espanola late last night in first gear. I was very lucky, I was almost home, but got off the Highway well before I should have because of traffic. Then my steering was acting up. I had a hard time leening into a turn. I heard something metal hit my radiator or engine area so I stopped and looked at my steering and tire. Everything looked ok, so i kept riding, but the steering was getting worse giving a bad shake. I had to drop it down into 1st gear and go slow to keep the bike up and straight. As I pulled into my driveway and took my tire presure I only had 10lbs in it. Boy was I lucky. I put air in with my car mini compressor and I could hear the air leaking out of my tire and then found the little hole. The nail or what ever it was must have been blown out and that was the noise I heard. I had just bought a MC lift two weeks ago so lucky me again, up it went as I don't think I'll have time to get the tire fixed or changed before I leave for Europe in two days. Other bad news I lost or rather forgot my Venture Rider mug at a gas station after filling up. I leave mine attached to the gas cap with a beer foam holder so I always have to remove it when gasing up. Nuts.......am I mad at myself.
