Now I can un pack my box of 8 tracks:cool10: I told Sharon they would make a come back one day. Orlin

I got it yeasterday and put on and got to go out for a ride and have to say that I really like it. I got the Extra large adjustable and it sure looks nice on the bike. And what service great people to deal with. I got ordered it on Friday late afternoon and it was here yesterday afternoon not even 24 hours. It was very easy to install. I will try and get some pics and get them on here. Orlin

That put a smile on my face too, Lucky guy you are. Orlin

It will be good to see ya, and that red 83

I will give you fair warning you will have to share some of the hot dogs with Tiny the ones off of the grill are his favorite

Spending time with your daughter and riding to doesnt get any better than that. If you are going threw the area stop in you dont need a special invite our door is always open. Orlin

I wanted to give this a bump and remind anyone that is coming to please RSVP on the calendar so we will have a good idea of how many will be here. Thanks Orlin

The 92 Venture I had rode like that, I took the Steering head bearings out and repacked them and it rode like it should, Orlin

You can also take the seat off and find your line from the front forks that go to the compresser and the line that goes to the rear shock and cut them I was able to get a compression fitting with a air valve to put the air in that was a easy and alot less work I just run the lines out next to the side cover and had one for the front and one for the rear. Orlin

If you knew of someone with a Standard Venture parts bike you can get the lines you need, I have done that with a couple that I had, got tired of messing with the contoler, You can take your lines out of the front forks and make a your own a line to eack fork with a tee fitting in it so you can inflate both forks the same. Try ebay maybe find the parts that you need, I will dig threw my parts and see what I can come up with may have the line that you need for the rear. If I have it just pay the shiping and its yours Orlin

Have had to change things up alittle, I talked with the people at the Blue Goose and they said that Saturday would be better for us, Friday is their busy day and are usally booked up, And they do have some great Pizza and Ice cream. They have seating for 75 and will need to make reservations ahead of time is best. They said they are looking forward to meeting our group. There are some great roads to ride to get there and back again you wont be dissapointed. And we will be doing the cookout and bonfire on Saturday. If you are planning on coming please RSVP on the calendar so I can get started on getting things set up. Thanks Orlin

Rick no getting rid of the 2000 for a long long time cant even think of such a thought, Sharon talked me into getting the 1st gen, it didnt take much but she did. And no talk of a new pup with this one either. Jeff That 2nd gen has good power too you better make sure that 1st gen is tuned and ready to keep up:stirthepot:

Very nice Orlin

Jeff you better keep that plug wire hooked up, you know how Sharon likes the take off of those 1st gens, Orlin

Well I got in a short ride today after letting it soak over night with some seafoam in the carbs number 2 and 4 cylinders werent getting any fule and the pipes were cold, now the carbs are working and the pipes are getting hot and she is running alot smoother:). Now for some new plugs and resync the carbs. Just had to open it up from the stop I forgot just how much snap they have fun fun:) Orlin

I went and picked the 84 Venture today that I brought back from a parts bike a few years ago. I had sold it to my brother in law just after I had gotten it done. Well he got him a 2nd gen last fall and decided to sell it back to me, so now I am back in the saddle of a 1st gen again, got it home today charged the battery up and took it for a short ride can hardly wait to get out on the road and open her up. 50s tomarrow just maybe a good day to go and have some fun. Orlin

Those look nice, and wont lose em with that shine. Orlin

I am wanting to put a set of passing lamps on my 2000 Venture and am wondering what others have used, do the ones from the RSTD fit? Or am I better off saving some more fun money and get the ones that are made for the Venture. Orlin

Yep just one for me, I have one beer, one mixed drink a year and a glass of wine in there some where. Well maybe I could go to two this year I didnt get a Rum Ball last year. Orlin

Yep I get that Orlin I need some help from Sharon she says I droped a cap down the bathroom sink drain, I can see it but cant get ahold of it with the stuff at hand in the house, and she says I hope this doesnt mess up your day, she knows how much I like plumming. I said nope doesnt mess up my day at all because you get to learn plumming today if I cant get the cap out:shock3:, so down to the shop and grab my long needle nose come back in reach in the drain and grab the cap and get it out of the drain:) and hand it to her and she says great I didnt want to learn plumming today:) Being a owner of a few 1st gens came in handy if it wasnt for them I wouldnt of had that great extra long nose needle nose pliers:whistling: Orlin

Rum balls and side stand plates, Im asking for one of each. Orlin

Its getting closer, If you are planing on coming and want to stay in Viroqua at a motel you should give them a call and reserve a room they do get filled up during the summer. We have plenty of camping room, And I have been working on my shop and its a 30 by 60 shop so there will be room to work on the bikes. When we started this we did in hopes that we could get more people each year so dont be shy come and enjoy the company and see some of the area. Orlin and Sharon

Great idea, And the last Saturday of August works. Orlin
