    To all my VentureRider family. Do you know how it feels to know that with a little kindness and very little effort we as a group can make a big difference for some very sick kids. Last November, I headed up a ride to St. Jude Children's Hospital to make a donation of funds that we raised at the Tail of the Dragon Venture In. We did such a great job on raising money (this was the 3rd time we had done this) that I wanted to make the donation in person at St. Jude. So aprox 13 riders met in Memphis, Tn. and did just that. This hospital does so much for kids at no cost to the familes and is the most cheery place I have ever seen for a hospital, looks more like a day care, the way its is decorated. They fund everything they do by donations from private citizens and corporations large and small. I believe with all my heart that we as a group of over 4600 members can make a difference and know that what we do is for a most worthy cause...........the kids........isnt that what we live for, our kids health and well being. I know some here have had their children treated at St. Jude and are very grateful for their help. Some of you have already donated to St. Jude via the Mean Dog Tribute Page. Mark Still aka Mean Dog made his last ride on the St. Jude donation ride. This member was fighting the fight of his life with cancer, yet as bad as he felt, he made the ride that meant more to him than any other ride he went on. Seeing him do this for the kids was the kindest thing that I have ever seen anyone do and it has been the driving force for me to try and help out the best I can. If you havent been to the Tribute page, you owe it to yourself to check it out. I have set a goal that I am going to try to fulfill in his honor, and I am asking for your help and support to do so. Even if you dont make a donation, please sign the guest book. And everytime a donation is made his wife, Nancy will recieve a notification that a donation has been made in Marks honor........ So, please help me honor this fine member and raise money for the kids at the same time. The link to the Tribute Page is in my signature at the bottom of this post. Thanks to those of you who have donated........God Bless You. Thanks for taking the time to read this............. Lewis & Charlene

    You guys could start up a nice business building trailers, trikes, all sorts of nice do-dads for bikes and likely make a small fortune doing it................Just an idea:stirthepot::stirthepot:

    My dad had both done when he was in his 70's and his vision was much improved to the point that all he needed was reading glasses if the print was small. He also wore glasses all the time, but after both surgeries, he only needed them for reading some of the time. Good luck, we will keep you in our prayers.............

    To hit the donate button for $5.00, that makes you an offical member of the "I Dropped My Bike Gang". You can thank 86er for that one..............:stirthepot:

    Notice the Union Pacific truck in the corner of one of the pictures… FYI...The Good news?: It was a normal day in Sharon Springs, KS when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train to head on the long trek back to Salina, KS. The Bad news?: Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted off letting the truck support drop down and grind on top of the rail creating white hot molten metal droppings to spew downward on the rail. The Good news?: A very alert crew noticed a small amount of smoke about halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules. The Bad news?: The train just happened to stop with the hot wheel on top of a wooden bridge built with creosote ties and trusses. Remember now, this train was loaded with coal !!! http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain1.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain2.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain3.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain4.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain5.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain6.JPG RULES ARE RULES! Don't let common sense get in the way of a good disaster!

    I had the Dunlops on my 83 and they didnt last 6000 miles, they rode good and made the bike handle good but the compound was too soft and they wore out very fast. I now have the Venoms on and they are the best tire for the money. I dont ride fast enuff to get them squirelly, I have had it up over 90 a couple of times and didnt notice any odd handling...........I now have over 9000 miles on them and still got some life in them..............When I replace, it will be another set of Avons and the same goes for the tires on my V Star 1300.
