  1. I have a 05 and a 07 RSV. The 07 I will give it a clean up and sell this spring, The 05 I took it down to the frame and went threw everything and must have gotten it right it handles and runs out way better than the 07. My 05 will be with me until I cant ride anymore, I have yet to set on another cycle that fits me better than this one.
  2. I have been riding since I was 8 years old and I learn something new every time I go for a ride, But then maybe I am getting old enough that that I have forgot some and it just comes back to me.
  3. Thats the scenic over look just north of Genoa Wi, nice view of the bluffs and the Mississippi one of our favorite places to go.
  4. We got out today for a ride, Great weather not to hot. About ready to head out for a few days no place in mind just get to the end of the drive way and flip a coin for left or right. Feels good to be back on the seat again. I was going to hang it up. With my eyes the way they were. I can see clear again and feel comfortable again.
  5. I finally got in over the last couple of weeks and they put a new lens in the right and left eye. All I can say is wow its like seeing a new world out there again. If you have been putting it off dont. Its quick in and out. Both times I was in and out the door in less than two hours and the surgery didnt even take 10 minutes. Crazy the stuff they can do now. Sharon and me got on the bike and put on 150 some miles Saturday. And no more of that funny feeling in my head that I have been getting the past couple of years when going around the curves and there are plenty of those around here. And am back to getting to my list of things that I had put on the back burner until I had this done. Next on my list is me and my Granddaughter are heading out fishing next week now that I can see to tie on a hook or a lure and we should have us a great time. And then I am going to pack up the cycle and pull up to the end of the drive and flip a coin for left or right and take a ride for a few days with no place special in mind. Orlin
  6. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Its going to be a high of 9 here Christmas day. Orlin
  7. Dennis was a good guy. He joined us in on quite a few rides and the gatherings here at our place. Will miss his company. His family will be in our prayers.
  8. It's looking like we could have decent weather by the extended forecast. But that could change in a hour.
  9. Hope you Tip and Trooper can make it. And we can catch up. It's been to long.
  10. Anyone that wants to join in is welcome. There is a few Venture riders coming. And staying here at our place with their campers. If the cool nights don't bother you bring a tent or camper there is plenty of space. We will be riding Friday and Saturday, We will head out of our place at 9:00 ride untill lunch and then finish up the afternoon with a ride and back here to cookout and set around a fire and visit. I will be putting the rides together this week and next. As far as I know all of the motels are booked for that weekend. There maybe some local cabins or bed and breakfast places available. If you want to come we are 6 miles East on Hwy 56 Viroqua Wi. Orlin
  11. I was very much looking forward to having a get together. We have always enjoyed having the Venture Riders come for a visit. Have got to meet some of the best people and have made many friends from all over. But there are times that life just seems to get in the way. Nothing bad just seemed that there was a lot that got threw onto my plate and not enough time in the day. Must be getting older or the days are getting shorter. Could look at doing something in September. Good time to do some riding and cool nights to set around the fire. Orlin
  12. until

    Canceled
  13. Found gaskets and slides. Shipping is slow.
  14. I have a 1983 Venture here that I am working on. I found the neck bearings and fork seals, But to get valve cover gaskets and the slides for the forks in a timely fashion seems to be tuff. Checking to see if anyone has had good luck ordering from some of the online sites. Orlin
  15. It was our first Leaf Lookers Ride, It was the first one that Me and Sharon got to meet anyone from the site. And it was a great time and we met new friends and there are some of those that have become a big part of our family. Orlin
  16. Where is it. We live near Viroqua Wisconsin. Lets have a great gathering this year, Get to meet some new friends and get to see some old ones. We have plenty of camping room here at our place. Its rustic camping there will be clean porta potties. If you want camping there are a couple close by with water and electricity if thats what you would like. I put the motels that are in Viroqua on the calendar. If you know that you are coming so we know how much food we will need. If your wondering about what all goes on, We are pretty layed back. The most important thing is for us to get together and get to visit and get some maintenance on the cycles. We have had those that come on Thursday, if you do I may put you to work setting around the campfire in the evening. Friday is we do like to get in a afternoon evening ride after a bite to eat and then back to the campfire. Saturday is work on cycles in the morning then off for lunch and a afternoon ride then back here for cook out and a bonfire. Sunday is the sad day where those heading back home head out and we have to say see next time. Our riding is in no hurry. We like to take our time and look around and see the sights. Its back road riding. We have some very nice ones. If you just want to set and relax down by the creek or go and tour the shops in Viroqua there is no arm twisting for you to go on a ride. Can hardly wait to see those of you that can make it. Orlin and Sharon
  17. I have it on the calendar please go there and RSVP so we know who is coming. Orlin

  19. Thanks to Freebird I am back up and going, I had got a newer laptop and I had forgotten my password and had a old email. So getting to the point, Decided that the get together at our place needed a title. So decided to go back to the original. Where is this at, It will be at our place near Viroqua Wisconsin. This is open to all. We have had VentureRiders from all over come we like it that way. I will post it on the calendar along with some other information. If you are wondering what goes on its pretty laid back. We do have a few that will come on Thursday and head out Sunday or Monday. Friday is just hang out and visit and greet who is coming in on Friday, We do like to take a ride into town and get a bite to eat or if time allows we will do afternoon ride and stop for dinner then back here to set around a fire and visit some more. Saturday if there is some maintenance to be done we will do that in the morning then off for a ride and stop for some lunch and ride a little more then back here for a cookout and a bonfire. Sunday is seeing most of the ones off and just fly by the seat of our pants kind of a day. We have plenty of camping room, there are motels in Viroqua 6 miles away. Other campgrounds close by, Its been a while lets have a good gathering and get to meet some new friends and get to catch up with some old ones. Orlin .
  20. After talking with Sharon we decided on dates, June 16th to 19th hope this works. I will put it on the calendar in a few days. Orlin
  21. We dont care how you get here, This is just about getting together. Putting faces to names, making new friends and getting to see old ones. Jeff it would be a good time to point that Silverado this way and come up and see us.
