  1. I just wanted to put this up incase anyone wanted to tag along. Lonna and I will be leaving my work in Pontiac at 11am on Friday morning. We will do a HARD 500 mile ride and make it down to Bowling Green KY. to spend the night. We will then leave there early Saturday Morning where we will catch up with Ebat somewhere around Nashville TN. and head towards Memphis and the meet up with Lewis and the crew at the Flying J. Unbfortunately this wont be as relaxing as I would like it to be and will be all super slab to make time. If anyone wants to hook up along the way give me a shout and we'll see what we can make of it....I'm pretty excited about getting there
  2. I agree
  3. NOPE!
  4. That may work with some other folks, but I know BOTH of you and there are many here that will attest to my finger pointing. Besides perhaps Peg will break out the whip and you will both get punished Besides I seem to remember a set of Chrome Thongs there Mini, and you were all for showing them off at Dons
  5. No thats just anything to do with you Dan
  6. Nate...Take David up on that, dont let a dealer get ahold of it. Buy the PCW kit and be done with it. I can have a clutch completely changed out in 30 minutes and without draining the oil.
  7. Stirrer of the pot perhaps
  8. Thats because all the ice cream is gone
  9. Shell Rotella T 15w 40 is what I have been using in 5 of the 6 Ventures that I have owned. I have never had any problems at all with it and no clutch issues, use away.
  10. 1st off, do you need them right now. The reason I say this is that MANY of the Ventures have cracks in the boots, as long as they aren't leaking it's not going to hurt anything. That price is way steep too unless he's doing all the work and that would still be a bit high. I have seen many cracked carb boots, but never 1 that was bad enough to leak. If your really worried about it spray some either or carb cleaner on the boot and see if your rpm's pick up. That will tell you if they are bad. I know some folks have used liquid electric tape and painted it on the boots to ensure there wasn't a problem.
  11. Yeah too late to reschedule, thats Ok though, as long as we get them the monies life is good. Lonna and I are going to Marathon it, we'll be leaving from my work next Friday at 11 am and will ride all the way down to Bowling Green KY. Saturday in the morning we will head out to Memphis and meet you at the Flying J. If anyone wants to hook up on this run get ahold of me and we'll se what we can come up with. I'm looking forward to this as well
  12. As many have mentioned it's about the comeraderie for me. I think it is a primal ideal with many of us to belong to a clan, not a gang, but a clan. We share a love for riding and wouldn't rather be anywhere else but on the bike with the wind in our face. It's also the hope that mankind might be able to pull it's head out of it's arse and share a bit. This can be a very unselfish group and thats something not seen often in this day and age. Tell her to get on a bike and put some wind in her face and she will have an epiphany and then she will know
  13. No...you can't go with a larger diameter wire as it wont fit into the coil. You weren't able to get a set eh?
  14. I know the feeling Bob, glad it turned out well....why dontcha come on over to Detroit sometime, then you can REALLY have some fun
  15. We love you kiddo and will miss seeing you, but you need to take care of business and so will we. As always, it is so good to see the green dot lit up on Mean Dogs name, your in our thoughts.
  16. That was my understanding too, but it's only with the 1200cc setups as they still used the separate springs. The 1300cc Ventures have the 1 wavy spring. BTW I have talked several times with John Gayne at PCW, the spring that he sells has a harder Rockwell rating so it doesn't fatigue as fast as the stock ones do. I have installed at least 6 of the PCW clutch kits in various bikes and they work wonderful.
  17. On the front cover I have taken the radiator loose and moved it forward. It makes it so much easier and less PIA. Another tip that I'll give is use RTV in the channel and push the gasket into it and let it set over night. This way when your tring to move it around it wont fall all over the place.
  18. Guilty! 30 Days in the hole for you
  19. Matt, Here is what I believe you'll be wanting http://www.chopperscycle.com/page/VTS/PROD/42-264/24032 If you have any other questions shoot me a PM
  20. I'm really glad the you are telling us this yourself, take care of yourself and I wish you both the fastest healing. If there is anything I can help you with just ask
  21. Mike, Did we replace the fronts or just the rear pads when you were here? I would suggest that you get a set of the EBC HH pads, that is what I use. My '08 is quealing right now and there is only 6500 miles on them. The only other option is take them off and chamfer the edges of the pads, this sometimes will help with the squealing.
  22. Damn Lou! You know I sacrifised on the 2nd day of this year so nobody else had to. Do you know why it let go?
  23. Have fun my friend and turn everything off, we'll handle it here. Do you hear that JT!
  24. Is it possible that you can repack the cans with denser baffling material to quiet it down BTW...nice looking bike
  25. Unfortunately Paypal isn't free and takes a percentage of the funds sent...thats why the strange total...I'll throw in my pocket change and even it off when we get there
