    Riding through some unfamiliar territory in Tennessee one night, lost trying to find the motel; I came around a curve to find three deer standing in the middle of a two lane. To make matters worse the road banked about like turn three at Atlanta Motor Speedway. I was on my Goldwing and got it stopped about a a foot from three by then frozen deer. With the bank in the rode and having panic stopped I ended up just easing the Wing down on its side - a first. The deer took off like a rocket and I started catching my breath when I realized I was in the middle of a blind turn from both directions. I panicked and just tried to grab the bike and lift it but even at my size 6'5" and 310 lbs it did not budge plus I was lifting against the banking of the road. I remembered watching a video on how to lift and you are on the money, getting down low enough was the toughest part. Anyway, I got it up on about the third try and no car ever came but the incident sticks in my mind anytime someone mentions a lift.

    Good thought I'll try to give a local one a call. I haven't put alot of thought into this. Broke it last night and just thought "great" just in time for my trip. And then slammed at work this week. Thanks again

    I broke it inthe middel section, so I'm guessing the entire antenna. Actually, I know the entire antenna. Thanks

    Heading from Atlanta to DC next weekend on a quick business trip and wanted to take the Venture. I managed to break my CB antenna taking the cover off and wondered if anyone had one they wanted to sell? Hopefully for less than what I just learned a replacment cost . Thanks!!

    If you haven't tried them the best strap I've ever used on a trailored bike is a "Canyon Dancer Bar Harness" It is amazing how well it works. www.canyondancer.com/

    In a brilliant move while uncovering the Venture I snagged the cover and broke the antenna, the one with the black plastic piece in the middle. I broke it off at the top of the black piece. I thought this was the CB antenna. I took it off and went ridding and found that my FM radio reception was very poor. So was this the Radio antenna? I have looked back over a couple of post but still am confussed, I would like to replace both antennas with one is there a post that explains how to do this and is this a complicated process? What is the best antenna to use? Thanks for any help!
