Here is a picture of my 86 that I want to take to some bike shows next summer, have some buffing on the engine and a little touch up. Wanted to do something a little different this summer and thought it may help with getting some business.

Welcome to the site, And you have came to the right place to ask questions there is a lot of knowledge on the Ventures here so don't be afraid to ask. I have asked my share of questions and have always got a answer. Orlin

I will be getting the 86 I bought this fall a lot of cleaning and buffing and it should be ready to take to some shows this coming summer, mostly just for something different to do and have some fun. The 84 new tires and a set of coils and just some tinkering. The 2000 it will get tore down and a good going over to have it ready for next summer, No big upgrades unless I run across a good deal on some Vmax parts. And I have a few bikes coming in for some detail work so I have plenty to do on those days Im not out plowing snow. Orlin

Prayers up! For a fast recovery back pain is no fun.

Prayers up.

Hope you have a fast recovery, You can still leave that snow machine of yours alone for this winter, Would be nice to have a nice mild winter with a early spring.

Well I finally got a new computer, so I don't have to use my phone to look at stuff on the internet, I did get the Maintenance Day put on the calendar but other than that I have just made some quick looks here and to post with my phone just takes me way to long. I see that there is some catching up to do. We have had a busy fall around here late September we had had a straight line winds go threw and took out some of our trees and some damage to my bigger shed roof and side wall, Then came the flood and took up most of October and November repairing roads and cleaning up here at our campground. Now that winter is soon to set in around here and the bikes will be taken apart and get them all ready for next seasons riding, I will have some more time to get all caught up. Orlin

We will be having our 6th Annual Maintenance Day here in WI, June 24 Orlin

I am going to be shipping some parts and am wondering whats the best way to go about this, And who offers the best deal. Thanks Orlin

Yes you need to report this. I went threw pretty much the same thing with my daughter and these boys are most likely doing to others also. Stand by your daughter have her talk with someone that deals with this kind of stuff she is looking for help. And yes I wanted to deal with it my way but was convinced buy my wife and good friend that if I did I wouldn't be able to be there for her from where I would be if I did what I wanted. If you need someone to talk with feel free to give me a call my number is in my profile. Orlin

I put the leveling links and the 130 tire on makes it a much better handling bike. And you don't notice much of difference in the height I am 6'1 and still flat footed when setting on the seat. If you get to Viroqua look us up we always like to get out for a ride. Or just have some company. And the last weekend in June we have a Maintenance Day here at our place it's always a good time. Orlin

Puc I don't remember seeing one. I will ask Shrek if he seen one. No fire or cheese tonight been busy working on bikes. That and I was out of hot dogs to roast over the fire. Orlin

I have been wondering for sometime what the weight is for, it is a dampener and it goes on the right side I happened on it looking threw my service manual Orlin

Wish we could make it but there is a cycle show that I have been wanting to go to the same day, Orlin

I have one on my RSV and I really like it. If its hot just put the top part down and when it gets chilly or you plan on a long day on the road put it up, It has stood up well being cleaned and I don't get any vibration at all. And seems to be pretty good in the rain. Orlin

Thanks for making the ride here, We got to make some new friends and see some old ones. And yes it is decided we will have again next year same weekend, June 22 to the 25. I am doing this from my phone will ad more later, and I hope the someone has some pics they can share for Cowpuc we all know how much he likes pics. Thanks again, Orlin and Sharon

Very nice enjoy!

Sent you a PM hope it will help. Orlin

Its getting close can hardly wait, Sure is going to be great to see everyone that can make it. Going out this Friday and Sunday to do the pre rides, I am sure that everyone will enjoy the rides and get to see the area. If you haven't rode in a group don't worry we take our time so we can enjoy the ride and take in the sights. Orlin

Sure do hate those close calls, I had something very similar happen to me on my 92, I was going around a slight turn and I couldn't get it to keep going around the curve I got it slowed down enough to stop before I went off of the road. And that was the steering head bearings it was a slow ride home and very hard to steer. Its good you got off of the road and stayed in the saddle. Orlin

We will be camping out from Thursday 27th to Monday 30th here at our campground if you are in the area stop on by, If you feel like camping out bring a tent we have plenty of room. There is a cookout on the 29th and campfire we have this every year for friends and family so I wanted to put the invite on here. Orlin and Sharon

Prayers sent

Sure do love spring time getting to see the new life that comes with it, We have a family of fox living behind our shed two adults and three kits I got to watch them for a couple of hours yesterday while I was back there working on the water for the horses they got so they didn't care about me being back there they seem to be used to all of goes on around here. Orlin

I had a 1974 that looked like this one, sounds like I may have got the same kit for mine, I went into the Suzuki shop that was in Viroqua and told Morris that I wanted to go faster and what did he have . Used to ride it to the moto cross track that was about ten miles from here and race it in the enduro class even got a few trophies. Sure was some fun days.
