  1. I seen 2 Ventures parked in Tarpoon Springs outside Tampa Florida on Oct 15 early PM. just wondering if it was anyone from this site? Midnite venture parked on one side of street and a 08 gold and black venture on the other side. Thanks CHRIS
  2. Im certainly sorry to hear this news.Ill send prayers for a speedy and full recovery.4 years ago the wife and i hit a full size horse. We both layed in the road for a few seconds and were able to get up.Turns out no broken bones.The 05 venture was totaled thou. It took alittle bit before i wanted to ride again so i know where he is coming from. In time he may ease back in the saddle. Thanks Chris:fingers-crossed-emo
  3. 24 for me! Not sure on Butch wax? Im guessing thats for hair.But i didnt need that because Dad made sure my hair stlye was a flat top. Chris
  4. Gary im sorry to hear about your father.Our prayers are sent to you and your family in this time of loss. Chris
  5. We were in Gettysburg Pa for the weekend.On sunday evening the wife and i seen a purple and white Venture trike twice on Stienwher ave in Gettysburg. I wonder if it was any one from this site? Chris
  6. I like to wish all those going to Don's a safe trip. Wish i were going but it didnt work out. Again have fun and a safe trip there and home .Chris:080402gudl_prv:
  7. Well it happened so fast i know i did hit the brakes. The brakes are what almost put me down.The impact from her head to the fairing was pretty hard.I got thru the impact pretty stable but after impact the brakes at that point i almost lost it. I thnk Carl is right if you can roll the throtle instead of reacting with braking on a glancing shot you maybe better off. Now if you hit one in the middle i cant say what is the best move.When i did get stopped i expected the fairing to be cracked but nothing but blood and snot. The back was loaded with hair. I hope this experience may be of help to some that may find themselves in a similar fix. Chris
  8. I ride 2007 venture g2 Chris
  9. It looks great.As Skydoc said thats thinking outside the box. I bet alot folks will give that idea a try. Chris:080402gudl_prv:
  10. No sorry guys i went on to work.I did call the Mrs because i thought she may have the the tires lock up. Chris p.s. idid give the shorts a good check though.
  11. Left the house 6:00am for work this morning and got about 3/4 mile when a big doe ran out in front of me. I hit her about 50-55 mph.She hit into the fairing and then rolled up onto the saddle bag and back seat.I got lucky and kept the bike up. And as best i can tell didnt get a scratch on the bike..Some blood and alot of hair. She got up and ran into the woods.Put a good scare into me and certainly could have been bad. Thanks Chris:fingers-crossed-emo
  12. Heck that guy has nothing on my mom.She would wail my butt and my brothers all the time with the wooden spoon. My butt was clenching up just reliving those memories and that was 40 years ago. Chris p.s. that was a funny video
  13. Man thats a sweet ride. Enjoy the fruit of your labors. Chris

  19. In Salem co.Southern NewJersey here. About 18-20 inches and been digging peoples yards out all day. Made some money a bottle of Absolute Vodka and Sambuka. Plus some hugs from mom and dad. Chris:innocent-emoticon:
  20. Hi Frogman, Im feeling your pain here in NJ. We have about 12" now and we expect about 18-24 before its over. I just pushed out my yard at3:00 pm and should have done it earlier. Ill go back and hit it again around 7:00. Chris
  21. Hi N3FOL, Where is Stewartsville? Are you close to Delaware River area? Chris
  22. Hey Craig, The cattle are ok as long as they can get inside. But 2ft of snow will be hard on those calves. I threw so some extra straw in their beds last nite. Put some more hay out this morning. The bull is plowing the way thru to the hay rack so they will follow him. Not to much going to slow that 2200 lbs down. Gonna get some lunch and in abit go plow the neighbors driveway out and tonight ill go help my brother do th church lot with my loader.He plows with his tuck but with this heavy snow we will have to pile it up with the loader. Tell Kim Bev and i say Hi.Merry Christmas Chris:farmer:
  23. I got out and rode some yesterday. Good thing,woke up about 6:15 to 3-4 inches of snow.Its 11:00 am now and we have around 6-7 inches and are expecting in our area about 18-24 inches by sunday. I guess New Jersey will call a stateof emergency. Our road guys are not used to seeing those snow totals here. I hope everyone has a great holiday and stay safe. Chris:rudolf:
  24. I have a 2002 Roadstar trailer and pull behind my 07 Venture. The bigger 16 inch wheels and suspenion is well worth it to me. Some will tell ya they are to much money but if can afford the extra go for it. I bought mine used and could sell it with not much trouble for the money i have in it. I my opinion it is the best on the market. I dont want to offend any one else by that opinion but be sure of one thing it is a darn good trailer. Chris
