Hey Uncle Meat, are you a Frank Zappa fan???

Fuel filter is best serviced with rear tire off! Now, a VERY important word to you! The phillips screws on Japanese bikes are JIS standard, NOT American standard. Do NOT use ASE screwdrivers on metric phillips screws as the angle of the teeth is different and I guarantee you will damage and/or strip the heads out!!! Buy yourself a good set of JIS screwdrivers, numbers 0 through number 4...

The week earlier would conflict with the WNY NE Regional Rally...

Soooo, what's next, day without men?? Day without kids?? Day without libheads?? (wouldn't THAT be nice...)

I thnk one of the reasons you were asked "Which bike" is because you NEVER tie down the handlebars on a 2nd Generatrion Venture unless you plan on replacing the handlebars, they bend really easy... You will be fine with your 1st Gen! Enjoy the ride!

A couple of pieces of 2X4's in the right place helps...

Going head first down a slide on a piece of wax paper... First time I broke my collar bone, age 5!

Integratrd Circuits?? I'm sure they have chips!! OK, we made it 8 iles from the GA state line, about 6 hrs out of Tampa. We stopped and visited Becky's older sister today seeing as we are that close to Tampa. Started out with the temperature at 42 degrees and saw a high of 83! I failed Geography yesterday, we were at the WV/VA border, not the NC border. The GPS confused me as the next instruction was for I77 to Charlotte. Totally forgot about Virginny!! It's such a pretty state too!! Just watched the premere of this season's Survivor! It was a shame to see my buddy Barrycuda voted off!! (Tony reminds me of Barry for some reason...) Glad tomorrow is a short drive, we have to get up pretty early Friday morning as we have to get to the docks, and be onboard before 1:00 PM...

Thanks Guys! Yup, I will try to post on a regular basis. Dan, didn't you hear me beep as I drove past?? Sure was foggy in though! I remembered the Shoney's we had the M&E at one year! Forgot to mention a restaurant chain I never heard of before that we ate at last night, Texas Steakhouse! We were very impressed with the quality and taste of the food there! Becky had a filet that melted in her moth, and I had baby back ribs that were really meaty and tender! Just a half rack and I was stuffed!! We both had asparagus that was cooked the way we like it, still crisp but not undercooked! So, if you are ever travelling and see one of these, be sure to try them out!

Well, as some of you already know, Becky and I are hopping aboard a Holland America cruise ship Friday for a 21 day cruise!! We left home this AM in my brand new Chevrolet Impala Premier and had to desl with rain all day! I wasn't sure just how far I could get on a tankful of gas, and the low fuel light came on while travelling westbound on I79. Our exit for Route 19 was around 50 miles so I thought I would see if I could make it there. When I got near the Gassaway exit (HI Skid!!) I scrolled down to how many miles left until zero gas, and it read 44 miles so I ignored the exit and pressed on, thinking there would be a gas station at the exit. WRONG!!! In the mean time, the countdown quit and it just read "low fuel" at around 30 miles to go while still on I79. Well,having an AAA membership I just kept going looking for gas,knowing if I ran out I would be rescued. Long story short, made it to a station, and according to how much it took vs what I am supposed to hold, I still had over a half gallon of gas left, or about 10 - 15 miles left! This morning was a minor catastrophy, the toilet plugged up and Becky's hair drier died! A plunger finally fixed the toilet, and a stop at Wally World in PA near the WV border fixed the hairdrier issue. Forgot to pick up suntan lotion and bug repellant that we planned on buying, though. We are holed up in a Hampton Inn about 9 miles from the WV/NC border. Plan on making it to GA tomorrow or possibly close to the FL border. We are meeting up with friends in Tampa Thursday evening for a night out on th town before boarding Friday...

Maybe pick up a couple at MD...

Whoo Hooo!! Go Snyper!!! Smoked my last cigarette in '87, quit cold turkey. The third day was the roughest! Now I can't stand the smell of 'em, makes me want to puke!

You'll shoot your eye out, Kid...

We will be glad to see you again DJ!!

Sounds like that is what the guy who bought it should have done...

Great find my friend!!! If memory serves me, you want EBC 123 pads. When you replace the pads pay attention to the "pins" and make sure there is no damage to the surfaces as if they are worn or crud'ed up they will cause the pads to stick and not release... A good source for the EBC pads is member Skydoc_17. Earl is one of our member vendors besides being one heck of a nice guy!

Sorry Puc, but one video says 2013, and the other 2014, so they couldn't have been made concurrently...

Rey SilverT, are you in the same mobile park as me?? Looked exactly the same after several days in the 60's...

What you DON'T know about Puc's video is that he was standing there buck naked all the while...

Yup, I'm thinking your issue with the Ignitek is all in programming! It is probably programmed for the older Venture dual pickup timing pulses whereas your newer MK2 has a single pickup...

OK, Y'all, spring is just around the corner and it's time to start thinking about your summer plans! As you may or may not know, this year's theme is Patriotic Country, so to honor Mom, the Flag, and apple pie here is the menu for Friday's Awards dinner and Saturday's Barbeque! For Friday, you can choose between a dinner of Pulled Pork or Chicken with Biscuits and Gravy for around $15 or step up to a T-Bone Steak for around $25!! All meals come with your choice of soup or salad and will come with a baked potato and mixed vegetable medley! Of course, the dessert will be good old American pie!!! (Sorry, we do not have the EXACT price as of the moment, but the meals will be approximately what we listed.) Of course, as usual, you may also choose your dinner off of the menu! Now, for Saturday's BBQ, the menu is BBQ half chicken (which is going to be prepared on site, so the aroma is going to drive us crazy all afternoon!!), Corn on the Cob, Macaroni Salad, Baked Beans, and Fresh Salad and Roll!! The cost is the usual $10.00 with tickets available from Thursday right up until Saturday, no ticket, no eat so buy your tickets as soon as possible, which also helps us determine just how many people to prepare food for! In case you haven't signed up yet, or are not familiar with this great event, here is a link to the thread in the Regional Rallies Forum... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?125386-Western-NY-Northeast-Regional-Rally-2017!!-Aug-10-Aug-13&p=998884#post998884 Se 'Ya all there this summer!! You don't want to miss this one!!!

Yup! Rick has been modding our seats for many years now and knows what he is doing! I've never heard one complaint from any of the many people who have had his mod done!!!

It shouldn't. By lower resistance causing an issue, that would be more along the order of not using resistors at all, like only a couple of ohms. Also, the TCI is more concerned with the primary coil resistance than the output load resistance...

Relocate him offshore on an island...
