  1. Hi Bud Sorry to hear your second gear gace out. My 83 only has about 46k on it and my second gear seems stong.I wonder if there is a way to find out if my bike had the factory second gear upgrade?Take care and good luck with the repair.
  2. A Sad Passing Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota . Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half- baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes. If this made you smile, please rise to the occasion and take time to pass it on and, share that smile with someone else that may be having a crumby day and kneads a lift.
  3. Ok.Sorry I missed you too.Take care and I will look at your pics.
  4. I have had things shipped here to Mississauga ontario and have had no problems.It sometimes took about 3 weeks to arrive.
  5. Is anyone going to the bike show in Toronto this weekend Jan 7-9,2011 at the Toronto International Centre? It would be great to see some Ventureriders there!!!!
  6. Merry Christmas from Ray and Pattie.
  7. Amen Brother.I am glad you are here to share that with us.All the best to you and your family.
  8. I had a Tarus with a bad core.I remember when I had it repaired that they undid half my dash at the core side and swung it open.They said it took off hours from the repair. My Tarus ran great after that.Sadly the body melted off the frame..
  9. It sounds like the heater core is plugged.You could have a small leak in the core or at the fittings in the firewall.If you can get underneath where the pipes connect in the interior of your car, check and see if inlet and outlet pipes are warm or hot.You could check it from the engine compartment as well.If it is hot on the inlet and cool on the outlet, your core is plugged
  10. Nice going chabichecka!!!
  11. Thanks for all the help guys.I will let you know when I get them installed.
  12. Hi. I have an 83 Venture with the stock passenger foot pegs.I want to install the upgraded foot rest.Is the bracket the same from years 83- 86? I see lots of foot rests on Ebay that are from 86- 89 years.Can anyone help? Thanks, Ray:think:
  13. Great to hear about your new bike.Make sure you join the site and get involved with all the great people here. I have an old first gen and it still amazes me.
  14. I am trading in my First Gen :-)
  15. Thanks for the tip.
  16. I have been following this problem.I am glad to see so many get involved with this.There are great people here willing to help each other.
  17. Glad you got her solved!!!
  18. Hi.did you losen any of the banjo bolts on the front brakes?If you did you let air into your brake system.Your brakes may only need to be bled.
  19. Just throwing this out. Have you checked your fuel pump?Have you changed the filter.Look and see if it is clear.Do you smell excessive gas? What colour is your exhaust coming from the pipes?
  20. I agree with the airbox.My 83 does not run well with the airbox off.I only have it off to cehck sliders . When I put the airbox back on, it runs tops.Maybe the carbs need a controlled intake environoment.
  21. This could be a long shot, but your turn signals are connected through your 4 way flashers.Check and see if your 4 ways works.It could be in your 4 way switch.Try cleaning that switch too.
  22. I know the BMW are fantastic bikes.I know people who have them and love them. I love them too.Parts and service are costly.My bud pays $25.00 a pop a spark plug for his 2009 BMW. I love my Venture because it is quiet, very fast , and easy to maintain.
  23. Ride On!!!

  25. Well as you know, there are not many moving parts in a Harley...
