As tacky as it sounds, just being able to be with my family. We had a great Christmas dinner at my Dads house. We all know how Lonna and my year started, so the simplest things seem to mean the most. I did get a nice card for Lonna as we agreed not to buy anything for eachother.

I wouldn't pull one without electric brakes, the braking system on the Ventures is less than desireable. I know I will have arguement to this statement, but when your pulling something that weight half as much as the bike empty, then load it, I want all the brakes I can get

We missed you too Deb.....with every shot so far

Dont quote me on this, but I believe that a few of our Canadian members have Bunkhouse trailers. Ramblinman, if I'm not mistaken, has one, I know others will chime in soon

Sad news indeed, Al was a big help to Rooster in the planning and execution of the '08 Rally in Kitchener. He will be missed, but now rides with now worries or pain RIP.

You mentioned something about insane in that sentence.....

Ah yes...to be young and somewhat brainless I was there at one point in my life

Ron, Great to see you on here again, I know you have had a terrible year, but your still here to talk about it. When we get back down to Houston, we'll bring another cheesecake....you know the one that DON took with him after you left the DQ
-
Your killing me Jeff....and I thought that we were friends
-
I try to every year, this year might not work out....but if the roads are dry and no salt, I'll fire the gal up

Cliff, All the best to you Bud, back surgery is no walk in the park. I do hope that it does help you out as you need, your in our thoughts and hoping for fast healing for you

...and cold, but by god all the snow has melted and it rained for 2 days. Then the wind blew the roads dry with 50 mph winds....and I finally got a fix and took the bike out tonight for about 45 minutes. I can see what a miserable S.O.....well you get the picture. It sure did feel good to get some wind in my face, even if it was 36 degrees. This PMS is really starting to break me down

Glad to hear that Rhonda's mom is doing relatively ok. As Lonna mentioned, if you need us to take Mom back to the Soo just say the word, I'm off all week. Heal up my friend and all the best for the girls, the phones on

All depends upon the model & manufacturer

I absolutely believe that Don, met one of our LEO members in Lusk Wyoming on vacation and then 2 weeks later in Worthington Mn. where he is a cop when we were headed to the 1st PIP. It is a freaky feeling but very cool

Dan, Here is a good writeup that Wayne did on removal of the rear wheel. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4660 Torques are rear axle nut - 110 ft. lbs. 4- pig bolts- 30 ft. lbs. Rear Caliper bolts- 32 ft. lbs. I always just snug the 4 bolts to start with, then tighten the rear axle bolt. I tighten the pinch bolt to hold the rear axle shaft to tighten it. Then after it is torqued loosen the pinch bolt and let the swing arm find it's center, and re torque the pinch bolt to 14 lbs. Then I go and torque the 4 pig nuts (that sounded bad) to 30 lbs in a cross pattern. Others may have other input on this but this is how I have done dozens of them and I have never had any problems with over 100000 miles on all of my Ventures or anyones that I have done. Hope this helps, if not shoot me a phone call and we'll get it rolling my friend

He doesn't have to go for it...we can use mob mentality and just assit him in seeing the light

Some folks are forward thinkers there Daniel

Man she is so narrow minded

This is just me Jay, but I would be concerned with having 2 shields to look through about distortion and fogging up. It's an interesting helmet, but I tend to look at things and try to keep them simple. LOTS of moving and pivoting parts, my real concern with that would be it's durability. For the price though I dont think if it did puke out that you would be loosing a lot of money say like with a Simpson or Arai.....0.98 less tha a buck

Thanks for the card Jack

I agree with you my friend Um are you trying to say something Mo
