Thanks for the reminder, just paid.

I find it easier this way.

Great riding area. We stayed in Geneva on the North end of Seneca Lake. Nice ride between Watkins Glen and Geneva on East side of Lake, Hector Falls and Wine Country. 327 between Ithaca and Enfield is a fun road. Great restaurant coming into Ithaca from the West is a good place for breakfast.

It got up to 50F today so I got the bike out. Closest I could get to the beach was across the lake. You can see the beach, pavilion, and tables across the lake. You can see me in the mirror of the VR. If this is approved I will set a new target.

If it ever warms up I rarely use the cage. Have went as long as 2 1/2 months without ever using the cage. To be honest more worried about the rising cost of heat and food.

I had to go through the Marine Corp league years (1974) ago to get things straightened up. You do not have to go to a VA hospital to have your surgeries done once they set your disability.

I'm staying out of this one. You are a bad bad boy.

Interesting, that's the area code for around here.

BTW - this replacement is VERY easy to do, but do NOT attempt it without an inch-lb torque wrench! The spring bolts have a very low torque spec, and it is unwise to try and use a calibrated wrist instead of the right torque wrench. If you do go with the "calibrated wrist" like I did, a reverse drill bit is the easiest way to get the broken bolt out.

BEACH did you say BEACH!!! Today rain, sleet, snow, sleet, snow, sleet, rain, snow, sometimes all three at once. BEACH don't think it will ever get riding weather around here. Been able to ride once since last October. Of course you could of said to take a picture of the sun and I couldn't get that one either. It's even thundering now. That's the 83VR under the cover.

ALWAYS ASK, NEVER ASSUME !! His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport. Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'. The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off. Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.' 'Why?' asked the pilot.. 'Because I'm a photographer for CNN' , he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.' The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'

Prayers that everything goes good.

Ha Ha only half of my bike fits under the awning. I've had this cover for almost two years and have never had a problem with it. It's snow and ice covered now. It is the heavy duty model made by Guardian Covers. Like I said I have no complaints.
-
I bought a heavy-duty GUARDIAN cover on e-bay. My 83VR had to spend the winter this year under the awning with the cover on. Two weeks ago we had two days nice enough to take the cover off and ride before the cold and snow hit again. Bike was just fine. I think they were asking $75.00 for it but had a "offer" space so I offered $50.00 and they excepted it. Have no regrets.

"Screams ice cream from Hell" is where you get ice cream and their coffin of toppings. Go there a few times a year. Some good riding roads in the area. http://www.hell2u.com/screams-ice-cream

http://mail.aol.com/33456-111/aol-6/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=30875120&folder=NewMail&partId=3 One day while he was at the track playing the ponies and all but losing his shirt, Mitch noticed a priest who stepped out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race. Lo and behold, that horse - a very long shot - won the race.. http://mail.aol.com/33456-111/aol-6/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=30875120&folder=NewMail&partId=4 Before the next race, as the horses began lining up, Mitch watched with interest the old priest step onto the track. Sure enough, as the 5th race horses came to the starting gate the priest made a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses. Mitch made a beeline for a betting window and placed a small bet on the horse. Again, even though it was another long shot, the horse the priest had blessed won the race. Mitch collected his winnings, and anxiously waited to see which horse the priest would bless for the 6th race. The priest again blessed a horse. Mitch bet big on it, and it won. Mitch was elated.. As the races continued the priest kept blessing long shot horses, and each one ended up coming in first. By and by, Mitch was pulling in some serious money. By the last race, he knew his wildest dreams were going to come true. He made a quick dash to the ATM, withdrew all his savings, and awaited the priest's blessing that would tell him which horse to bet on. True to his pattern, the priest stepped onto the track for the last race and blessed the forehead of an old nag that was the longest shot of the day. http://mail.aol.com/33456-111/aol-6/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=30875120&folder=NewMail&partId=5 Mitch also observed the priest blessing the eyes, ears, and hooves of the old nag. Mitch knew he had a winner and bet every cent he owned on the old nag. http://mail.aol.com/33456-111/aol-6/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=30875120&folder=NewMail&partId=6 He then watched dumbfounded as the old nag come in dead last. Mitch, in a state of shock, made his way down to the track area where the priest was. Confronting the old priest he demanded, 'Father! What happened? All day long you blessed horses and they all won. Then in the last race, the horse you blessed lost by a Kentucky mile. Now, thanks to you I've lost every cent of my savings -- all of it!'. http://mail.aol.com/33456-111/aol-6/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=30875120&folder=NewMail&partId=7 The priest nodded wisely and with sympathy. 'Son,' he said, 'that's the problem with you Protestants, you can't tell the difference between a simple blessing and last rites.'

Has anyone tried the STA-BiL Ethanol gas treatment yet? I've been thinking of trying it if the riding weather ever gets here. Below is from STA-BIL web site. Today's Ethanol Blended fuels can be hard on your fuel system and engine. Ethanol attracts moisture, which can lead to corrosion within the fuel system, octane loss, gum and varnish formation and rough running of your equipment. New STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment was designed to fight these damaging effects of Ethanol, and protect your fuel system and engine for better overall performance. STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment helps remove water, protects against corrosion, and cleans fuel injectors, carburetors, and intake valves to keep the fuel system free of gum and varnish and deposits. Perfect for use in your everyday driving vehicle, such as your car, truck, SUV or mini-van, and also great for your small gasoline powered equipment -- lawnmowers, chainsaws, weed wackers, snow blowers, snowmobiles, etc. Recommended to be used at every fill up to keep your vehicle and equipment running smoothly year-round.

Such a nice post to read right after I come inside from shoveling . Glad you had a nice ride. And friends ask me why I'm trying so hard to move South. DUH.

I don't think the bike in the video has reverse. Looks to me like the drive is slanted down hill and he's just coasting backwards.

A big Texan stopped at a local restaurant following a day roaming around in Mexico. While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, the smell was wonderful. He asked the waiter, 'What is that you just served?' The waiter replied, 'Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!' The cowboy said, 'What the heck, bring me an order.' The waiter replied, 'I am so sorry Senor, there is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy.' The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the waiter and said, 'These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday.' The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'Yes, Senor, sometimes the bull wins.'

Center Punch on frame
KarlS replied to Reddog170's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Mine has the punch marks in both places. Yamaha dealer told me they punched both spots.
