Still at the house drinking coffee, what's this rain suit you speak of, I just get out my bar of soap

We are pack up and ready also. That sounds good, I think it's good for a cold 🤧or when it's cold or aw heck just give me drink. 🍸

Hey Joe, tell Bobbie we looked all over but have not found her any grapeco.

We will leave the light on for ya 😎

you are correct and Trina needs to step up

we have got to get started packing, this retirement thing is taking up to much time 😎

This is a touring bike, 2009 Venture

Look at the top of the triple tree, just under where the handle bars mount and see if it has Hannigan stamped into the plate. If it does it has the Hannigan kit on it. If it does not then the Hannigan kit is what you need.

it's coming together, we gonna have a good time

now you just saying what I was thinking. 🤣

Sounds like it's coming together.

you are correct, I'm getting about ready to pack the camper.

Be glad to have ya, pack a bag and show up.

Hey Ronnie we'll be glad to meet you, hopefully the weather will be good.

okay my two cents on this one is some times a plug does more damage than the nail, now I understand the tire is being replaced with a new one and than without a doubt is the right thing to do. but just for the sake of discussion the way that nail was in there a patch on the inside would have been better than plugging it because when the hole was reamed out in order to insert the plug or plug part of the patch it would have been bigger and more importantly it would have broken some cords in the tire therefore making the tire unsafe. Happy and safe riding to you.

Welcome to VR

I bet ya'll thought I was done with this. for the curious among us I had to find the failure. the pictures tell the story as you can see the 1st picture is the pump assembly together, 2nd picture is the pump separated from the motor, 3rd is the pump blade assembly separated from the plastic housing and last is the cracks that allowed the magnetic coupling to spread and lock up the pump. I tested the motor and it will run.

I did this to an 06 and it is like adding power steering at slow speeds like in a parking lot, but be aware it is also easier to go full lock when turning sharp. If I had another 2nd gen I would do it again.

Welcome to the nut house, you have come to the right place for these bikes. tell us the story on your bike and a few more pictures too.

I think they do have some bigger sites, look again but either way we will be glad to have you.

I don't even know if they called the cops since no one was hurt, I think he was embarrassed and wanted it over with. He did leave his buddies behind as they were still getting on their bikes.

Trina and I was headed for a day out in Oxford Alabama about 45 miles from our home and about 10 miles from our house we seen a Harley in the medium with a bunch of people around and there was two vehicles stopped. I passed on by but was telling the wife that the bike might not be ridable and we wasn't that far from home so I turned around and when we got there the automobiles had left and there was five bikes sitting on the side of the road I pulled up and asked the guy if the rider was alright and did they need me to go get my trailer. He said it just happened and the guy was going to see if it would crank so we spoke a minute and I found out they were from Alexander city which is about 40 miles in the opposite direction but Trina just gave me that look like help if you can so I told the guy we were just out and about and didn't mind hauling it. Well the bike fired right up and with plastic broken and hanging off the bike he pulls it up on the road and Hollered at the guy I was talking with to get on his **** bike and lets go. The one guy had told me that the guy took the curve to fast and the road was wet so he ended up in the grass and was not hurt but that the bike flipped twice and from the looks of it tore it up pretty bad. He hit the bike in front of him but that bike didn't go down. But that just reminded me of how fast something like that can happen so please be careful while riding and slow down on wet road and roads you are not familiar with.

hate you let your bike go but you know a bike is not needed to hang out here, I was talked into a trike back in 2013 and have enjoyed a many of miles on it might be something to think about.
