I can dig where your coming from Jack, that one would be a decent donor for the G2's. I believe as the speedo sensor in the pig would need to be addressed. Just because he asks $100 doesn't mean he'll get it, you know that as well as I. As far as the shipping, I agree, very stupid of him as that will turn buyers right off. I'm never about not making an offer as a little of something can be better than all of nothing

Ponch and Kreg, I have the wagon and I can load it up with tools if needed and you can ride the scoots down. Let me know and we'll make it happen, just think, a mini M&E....and on a school night

Thats when you make him an offer for the whole deal including shipping. I have to say that that, to me, really only does look cosmetic. That ear wouldn't have had to have a hard fall to break off like that, and it might have had something dropped on it. I would dare say would probably still be sealed and hold oil. If that could be picked up and shipped for $75 ( I would opt for the driveshaft not being sent) that could be a good deal to swap the gears into your own pumpkin. Which would be great for 2nd genner who really only wants the gears

I dont have any tire irons, you'll have to bring yours. I have seen that SOLID H/D table, man those things are like a ROCK!

I would have to agree with Don here. I have known a few Ventures that have sudden death syndrom with the batteries. The Venture is VERY hard on the battery due to an inadiquate charging system. Although yours isn't very old I usually change my battery out every 2 to 3 years. I dont need one puking out during a 1000 mile road trip. Take it in to a reputable battery dealer with it fully charged out of the bike and have them load test it. It does kinda sound like a cell is bad or going bad

Ha Ha...you know I still love ya buddy Not really, but I know it may get him down here, there is always a method for my madness -
We did just that here at VR.org with the military about 3 years ago. Lonna and I took donations and we went and bought all sorts of stuff and sent it overseas. It was very cool and I wouldn't mind donating to something like that again. Please let me say that I am NOT volunteering myself to run it again, but would give monies towards something like it

Great pics, I wish we could have been there to make fools out of ourselves too
-
Hey can we come and watch you guys work
-
This M&E will be a good one to attend....get the video ready

This is kinda funny, I have owned 4 1st gens and I have never seen the "dipstick" that came with the bike well except for Dano, he came with his '84 one M&E -
Yeah we were, gonna drive that car until it falls apart, then I'll rebuild it again
-
I dont know why he hasn't just made a floating bridge
-
All the best to you Karl, I know you desperately need this, your in our thoughts my friend
-
I was there too, but we were a bit west of the gulf, I was actually on a bike too!
-
I did that with him about 2 years ago, drove to his place and spent the weekend there to fix some issues. Unfortunately we both had been too busy as of lately and now I'm here in Texas. The bike just needs a bit of time put into it, but I totally understand his frustration.
-
I know your both excited, now get home!
-
Not bad looking for 7 bills, I know you can make it run. BTW I have that lower rear Yamaha reflector if you need one
-
OOOHHHHH...did he just punk slap you in front of several thousand bikers!
-
Probelm with it is Russ doesn't have the time or expertise to get the gremlins gone. I know his bike could be a good runner, it has just sat for a lot of it's life. It really isn't a bad machine, just needs a little TLC. I actually told him to post the issues he was having with it and be upfront so someone knows what they are getting. Nothing like the surprises that happen when you buy a used bike....yep I know what I'm talking about there

How are the Canucks?
-
AWSOME! If any of the folks reading this thread haven't gone to an airshow, especially one with the Blue Angels in it, your missing out on a great piece of life. It's going on again today at Ellinton field in SE Houston
-
Hey Jeff, At about 3 pm turn west towards the Gulf and wave, I'll be waving back at you at 2pm Houston time looking East
-
For you my friend...there is no other way Looking forward to the pics, your probably going to make Yammer cry too as it's, BLUE!
