The weather is looking nice for the weekend, can hardly wait to get some riding in and put my feet up and set around a campfire. Orlin

To those of you Ventureing out for the Labor weekend enjoy and ride safe. Orlin and Sharon

Glad they are both okay, can allways replace the bike. Orlin

Congratulations hope you two have a great day. Orlin

We will be camping at our campground from Thursday to Monday and if you are passing threw Viroqua area stop on by, or if you want to come and spend a night or the weekend you are wellcome. We do this every year and invite friends and family so I figured I had better put something on here. I didnt want anyone saying I didnt know and just drove on by. Orlin and Sharon

Thanks for the info had the Venture for a couple of weeks and put a little over 600 miles on. I am averaging 38 miles per gallon with Sharon and me. Orlin

I just got a 2000 Venture and am wondering what is average gas milage, I am getting 37 to 40 miles per gallon, but we dont have many flat or straight roads around here:) Orlin

Very nice enjoy the new ride, I just got a 2000 Venture sure do like it alot. Orlin

Dan we are having our usual Labor day weekend here you are wellcome to come, you never know, maybe we can find you a second gen to ride home on they sure do have a nice ride:) Orlin

yep figured I am no hurry anymore so the second gen will fit me nice, but I did open it up yesterday and its got plenty of go to it:), There will be another first gen in the future them Ventures like company. Orlin

I put pic of the new bike in my album Orlin

It is home and yes it is a 2000 he had it listed as a 2001 no matter I am happy and so is Sharon, we got to go for about a hour ride, I will be keeping this bike for along time. Orlin

If all goes well I will be going to pickup my new to me bike tomarrow or Thursday, Its a 2001 Red on Red, We went over last Friday and took it out for a ride and that was all it took, I am going to miss my first gens I have spent alot of time on them and sure am going to hate to see them go but this second gen sure fits me nice and Sharon gave it the thumbs up and thats what matters, the only thing she said is she gets more wind being up higher but she is able to see more than the back of my head. I have been looking at all of the bling you can get for these, but the rest of this riding season will be getting the bugs worked out if it has any and just enjoy the new ride. I will get some pics put up as soon as its home and I get it all cleaned up. Orlin

I have a 87 and a 92, but looking for the right 84 or 85. Orlin

Looks nice enjoy and safe riding Orlin

looks like a mess to me, Orlin

Prayers sent Orlin

It sounded better when you left, hope the bug is worked out of it. Keep me posted. Orlin

I will give you a call when I find out more about when we are heading out from here, Have fun on the first part of your vacation looks like cooler days. Orlin

Andrew There are a few that are meeting here on Sunday, not sure of what time we are heading out if the time works out we should meet up. Orlin

What do you look for to resolder, never had one of these apart untill last night, All looked good except there are three cooper looking coils and one of those isnt as clean as the other two. Is there away to check the CMU to make sure that it is what the problem is. Orlin

This is my 87, sorry I didnt put that on here, I checked for current going down to the foot brake switch and I dont have any in the yellow wire the other two have current, I jumped the yellow and black wire and the blue and white wire on the back of the CMU and got brake light but it stays on, Is there a way to by pass the CMU to get the brake light to work untill I can get this one fixed or a new one. Orlin

I have no tail light, I put in a inline fuse for the signal fuse to check to see if my other problem was solved before I went threw putting in the new fuse block. Now everything works but the brake light using the foot or hand brake, The bulbs are good, is there a fuse just for the brake light or a relay, I checked the conections under the seat and the ones that I could find. Orlin

I found the problerm:cool10: it was the wire for the signal coming out of the fuze box, I had power to the box but no power coming out Of course I didnt find it untill I removed the farring but now all of my connections are clean and as long as I am at it I am goint to do the fuze block up grade.
