  4. On May 9 a group of Pekin, IL , bikers were riding west on I-74 when they saw a girl about to jump off a Peoria bridge, so they stopped. The bikers leader, George a big burly man of 53, gets off his bike, walks through the gawkers, past the State Trooper, and says, "What are you doing?" "I'm going to commit suicide," she says. While he didn't want to appear "sensitive," he didn't want to miss a be-a-legend opportunity either so he asked ... "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?" So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing and did just that ... and it was a long, deep, lingering kiss followed immediately by another one. After she's finished, George gets approval from his group, the onlookers, and even the State Trooper, then says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had, Honey! That's a real talent you are wasting, Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl". The onlookers are still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed!
  5. A good job goes out to my Brother-in-Law, Randy (rickardracing) on planning this Saddle Sore 1000 ride. A good time was had by all, even if he give us a pain in the ass.
  6. I am going down early Saturday morning and then coming home later that evening.
  7. My wifes Honda VTX 1300S and the old mans Midnight RSV.
  8. NOPE. sold my Goldwind for a RSV and would never go back.
  9. Diamond cut engine covers and a cure for the whine.
  10. If I am not working my wife and I will join the fall ride, probably can get a few more guys to go if their schedule allows. Keep me posted.
  11. Now if I was in the market for a new bike......Victory 2012 Cross Country Tour (white)
  12. A Victory Cross Country Tour would be my choice. Looked at one the other day, sweet looking bike.
  13. I agree, Butt-Butler mod, best seat for the money.
  14. Thanks for the updates Squidley, hoping for a full recovery and he will be in our prays till then.
  15. Was thinking about posting the same question. My bet is 2012 Stratoliner Touring, like the Kawasaki Voyager, V-twin with all the goodies.
  16. I went to an auto junk yard and purchased a scissor jack from a compact car. Light weight and doesn't take up much room.
  17. Looking for riders to join us on the Midnight Run, the weekend of Aug 20th. The ride is sponsored by GWRRA - Michigan Chapter G. The ride starts 12:00am (midnight) in Rockford, MI, Saturday Aug 20 and arrives at the Mackinaw Bridge around 8:00am with 4 schedule stops along the way. Many events are schedule during the day at the Kewadin Casino in St Ignace, MI. More information can be found at http://www.mi-gmidnightriders.org/2011midnight_ride.htm. Those interested, a group will be putting their kickstands up at 8:00 pm, Friday Aug 19, at US-23 and North Territorial Rd, which is exit 49. We have a block of rooms reserved in Mackinaw City, but not many remain available. After taking in the schedule events and a nap, planning on a dinner run later that evening. Those who are not interested in riding the early hours of the morning, let’s plan a ride to meet the Midnight Riders Saturday morning. So VentureRiders in and around southeastern Michigan area let’s see if we can get to know each other and enjoy a weekend ride together.
  18. Yes, trailer is a 4 wire, Yes, trailer uses the same bulbs for both the brake lights and the turn signals, Yes, 5 to 4 wire trailer light converter installed on the bike, got it from U-Haul.
  19. Installed 56 bulb LED tail lamp lights on my trailer. Running lights work fine but stop and turn lights flash fast and very dim. Heard I have to install a resistor on stop and turn wire or replace the flasher on the bike to a LED Flasher. Anyone with the best fix and where is the flasher, have searched under the seat with no luck.
  20. Check these on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200511914675&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT
  21. Maybe Yamaha is trying to get it right, that is why they are taking so long to introduce a 3rd gen Venture. Wish they would keep the same bike with some obvious engineering changes. New motor 1700cc, FI, ABS, built in GPS, gauges, new sound system with audio inputs. Maybe one of these days.
  22. Agree with rickardracing, get a real motorcycle trailer.
  23. Does the sun shine in Florida
