saint jude auctions in the classifieds......
Squidley replied to painterman67's topic in Watering Hole
I know I speak for many here in the fact that I thank you for supporting such a good cause. I too have a few goodies that I am going to add to the St. Judes auction. I just hope we can make the run this year -
moving trunk back?????????
Squidley replied to painterman67's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
David, If I can remember to do it, I'll take some pics of the '89. I moved the trunk on it back to give Lonna a bit more room as she couldn't handle the long ride to MD without it. It's really not that hard and for only a few bucks and about an hour your in business. Send me a PM as I KNOW my CRS will kick in. -
Happy Anniversary Jerry and Jane!!

George, I too remember you being on the site, although we never have met yet. I hope we can remedy that and get you and your wife to a M&E here in Texas. Quite an amazing story of your trial and tribulation, sucks that it happened, but glad that your still here with us. I do hope that you feel comfortable enough to hang around with us here. This really is a family here and regardless if your driving or riding your part of this group. Might say when you joined that the assimilation began. If there is something that we can help you with, spurring your memory or whatever, please let us know. Perhaps we can get a M&E over by you and yourself and Momma can come and have lunch with us....all the best to you with your recovery

Yeah...I bet I know him too

I believe I have that at home on the computer there. Could have sworn that it was located here on the site somewhere If it's not brought up on this thread I'll post it up when i get home if my CRS doesn't kick in

Good looking trailer, is it an aluma?

All the best to both of you, very stressful on both of you. Good to hear she's on the mend

Can't fix stupid! Kinda looked like something out of the Dukes of Hazzard

It's actually quite simple, the Valk outsold the Goldwing for a couple of years. Honda didn't want one of their own line competing with the wing and after 5 years put the quash to it. Besides they had to sell more wings to pay for that new at the time 1800 engine...all a matter of economics. I seriously thought about a Valk interstate before I got the '99 I have now from Moose.

best tire recommendation
Squidley replied to kingtut's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
Avon Venoms...stick like glue, get decent mileage out of them, are quiet and good in the rain. Sorry but my distinct preference is for the Avon -
Bumping this back up top, FWIW I have 4 Gray shirts left 2 size XL 2 size 2XL James, Ruffy Kevin & uncledj your shirts will go out today

I do hope that whatever the mfgr sells on this buy is of decent quality. Unfortunately I just keep hear and seeing of them failing, and that would suck at the wrong time. I am a fan of them, they really light up the road well, but obviously need to be able to handle the rigors on being on a bike.

Nailed it!.....you gotta get over here Chief, you dont need a MD to come over and visit You know if you show up here at the house.....you'll get a cheesecake

I have to say I'm with Brian on this one. I know several members, 2 right here in the Houston area, that are having issues with the HID lights they purchased from the Canadian vendor. He's been good with sending replacement parts but you get what you pay for. I know we all like to see things cheap, but your not going to get great quality with a cheap price, just isn't going to happen. I was thinking about putting an HID inj my bikes, but after seeing and hearing of the issues with them, I'll be going with a PIAA or the Silver Star Ultra

Nice....Thanks Buddy!! I do love that old coot anywho

Whoooo Wheeee! What a day, very 1st order of business is a HUGE thanks to Owen and Margaret for opening up their home to this motley crew. You would never have guessed it was their 1st MD hosting, they pulled it off like old pros and did a fantastic job, Thank you both ever so much! As always we had a blast, started out with about 10 of us at Luby's in Tomball for breakfast at 8am. The laughing stared there and didn't stop until late in the afternoon when folks had to start getting home. LOTS of work was done, and the nice thing is that many of the folks that just 6 months ago that didn't know squat about the Venture and how to repair them, were acting like old pro's and getting the work done. Kudo's to all of you that jumped right in and took care of business. It make me real proud to see members grow from being involved with this crew. I would love to post pics here in this post....but we forgot the camera at Owens house DOH! Ponch had his hands full with Perry's bike and gauge install. I decided to help Sky King (Mike) with a cooling fan issue on his '00 MM. Some of you may remember that we tried to get it fixed in Febuary in Rockport at Thom 440's MD when a bunch of the Houston crew went down there. Mike had purchased another cooling fan from Pinwall as he thought that the motor was burned up. Turns out it was a noise suppressor in the line that got hot and arced itself out and welded 2 solder joints together. I'm glad we checked as we would have put it together and it still wouldn't have worked. I'll get the pics up once we get the camera back. It was a great time as usual and for those who were on the fence, you truly dont know what your missing by not coming. I also believe it was a 1st as Owen mentioned to me before we left that there wasn't a single carbtune performed....thats gotta be some sort of record. Owen and Margaret, Thank you again for your hospitality and putting on an awesome MD. Lonna and I really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to the next one. Thank also to everyone that was able to make it, we love getting together with you folks

It is TODAY!!!!!! :banana: :banana: See you at Luby's in Tomball

I think it was an excellent move on your part Kenny. I have repeatedly said that if I were to have that bike and heavy a trailer behind me I'd want electric brakes on it. It's not about you being a good rider it's about the cagers that are idiots....good on ya buddy!
-
Have a great time Rick, good to see that name posting from time to time. You folks be safe and enjoy your trip, I love that area of California Hwy 299 out of Redding or 36 out of Red Bluff are awesome!

Jeff....the 3X is yours, James is taking a 2X instead, PM on the way.
-
1 left Kevin and it's yours, I'll get it sent out... OK folks all the black shirts are gone, there is only a couple of the Gray ones left as I have adjusted the count in the 1st post. Thanks again to all that are helping me clear out the house
