Here's the note we left ourselves on where we parked the bikes!

On my last ride in East Tennessee, I decided to visit the Dragon. While I was in no hurry, I was still making a pretty good clip not just puttin. A group of crotch rockets tore past me like a bump in the road. The bikes were loaded and decked out with all the latest speed stuff and the drivers were in full leather with expensive looking helmets and boots. The thing that got my attention more than that was that each one had a gal on the back with nothing but a helmet, sneakers, and a bikini. They were wrapped around those guys tight with their aaaaaatributes stuck up in the air. I hope they never go down! At least I saw none of the bikinis on the tree of shame.

Take pictures!!! -
Most clubs use 25 years and over as Vintage but this is open for anyone as long as space lasts. Yours would be very welcome. It is always fun and even the newer campers join in. Saturday afternoon we will have a pot luck dinner, just bring a dish and join us in the club house. Look for our 69 Volunteer, you can't miss it. We will be at B16 I think it is. We're going in Wed evening and living out Sunday afternoon. Warning, watch out for Polly. You never know when Polly will sneak into your camp.

Mister River in Walland, tn. is having a vintage camper rally. We will be there with our 1969 Volunteer trailer. Walland is half way between Maryville and Townsend. We rally there twice a year. It is right off the foothills parkway so if your in the area, come see us! http://www.mistyriverrv.com/vintagecamperrally/vintagecamperfall09.html

The Venture I call Blu while riding and the only thing I've been able to say while riding the Vmax is YARRRRRRRG!!!!!

The shifter lost the lock down screw and slid off the splines on my 84 Venture. I pushed it back on and got another nut. I put it in neutral and adjusted the shift rod until the light came on. When I tried riding it, I would have to stomp it hard to go into first. When I parked, the neutral light would not come on again. I would see it blink as I passed through to second. I tried the adjust twice more and each time, it would lose the light after shifting through the gears and first was still tricky. The Yamaha Service manual is no help. Any ideas OH GURUS of the TRIPPLE TUNNG FORKS?

Yeah, me too. I am sure glad he did not finish it for whatever reason.

You would rethink rush hour on 1-24, 1-40, or especially I-65 in Nashville also. Even if it is one person in the car, they will jump in the HOV lane so they can get to the selected exit in a hurry while diving out of it if they think they see a cop ahead and then cross several lanes of traffic to make the exit. All without slowing down. I average getting cut off twice a day. There also seems to be a magnetic field that will not let turn signals work here though it does take a lot of effort to reach for them.

Forgot to mention...The paperwork is supposed to be here tomorrow. CLEAN Title!!!!

I found instructions in the tool bag for a chain drive conversion. At close inspection the bolts have been removed from the third gear. Obviously it did not work out for him.
