  2. Hope you can make it, Its been to long since we have seen ya, Keep working on that walking.
  3. I like it Puc, and all of the others, I have had a few but gave up, Figured that if I could throw one and hit the target better than shooting one, I should just stay with the long guns.
  4. Looks like you had a great day for a ride, Still to much salt and sand on the roads around here for me.
  5. I got my shop back, so it was time to go to work on my solo ride I have had on my bucket list. Pretty close to being done. Can hardly wait to get it out. It has a 14,000 mile engine, 22,000 mile final drive, rims and all new bearings, new fork seals and progressive springs and tune up. I am thinking that it is going to be a fun ride. Orlin

  7. I took a look at the calendar and see that the weekend of July 23 to 25 is open. It can be hot and a little muggy, We have some nice big shade trees to set under or I do know of some nice shady roads to take a ride on. It will be good to have some old friends here and some new ones. We didnt get to have a get together last year. And sure missed it. Orlin
  8. After talking with Sharon, She said to pick a date in July, So lets see what we can come up with. Orlin
  9. Putting this out there, Not sure how this virus stuff is going to play out, We missed getting to have a get together last summer. It will be here at our place and will put a ride or two together and have a cookout and a bonfire for one of the evenings. Want to see if there is any interest for June or July. We have plenty room if you want to camp and there are motels in Viroqua. Orlin
  10. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
  11. Hope you heal up quick, and do what those Doctors tell ya. Does this mean that the snow machine is on layoff this winter. Or do you have it set up so you can control it from your nice warm spot in the house. Orlin
  12. We did have a nice evening with the kids and a couple of the grandkids so it was small, we did get to eat some really good food and played some cards and catching up. Orlin
  13. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, Its a strange year and there are a lot of us out there that are going to miss the company of family, We are still going to make the best of as we can. We can only hope that this will be gone next year and we can all be together and it be that much more special. Orlin and Sharon
  14. That is sad news, Thoughts and prayers for his family. Orlin
  15. Its a great day when you get to walk away or ride away. Like its been said can always replace the bike. Orlin
  16. Sharon went in today to get her foot x rayed, They didn't think she had any broken bones just bruised. And was impressed with her story. I did take the other Venture out for a four hour ride on Sunday to get back in the saddle. Did go to work on repairs today, The lower fairing was pretty much all gone, Crash bar was bent past the point of getting useable again along with the plastic parts down there. I was able to get the rear crash bar pulled back into place along with the bag rails, not perfect but still decent, and got the nasty stuff washed off from the deer. Feeling pretty great full in the way it all turned out. I know that it could have been a much different out come. Orlin
  17. Had a deer come across the road from our left, wasn't much time for going to the right or left. So I pointed the cycle for a straight on hit to the deer. And it worked, we stayed up after the front went up and felt a hard hit to the left rear area and gave us a bit of a wobble at 55. We are a pretty good, Sharon has a sore left foot and is limping around some this morning, As for me, thumbs are both sore, left wrist and left leg from the knee down is sore, nothing broke that's a great thing. The second gen didn't fair as well, Slight front fender damage, took the lower fairing and pushed the rear crash guard and bag rail in and busted up the saddle bag. All can be replaced, worst part of that is I just rebuilt the cycle along with all of the body parts and this was our first ride on it. The deer didn't fair as well as we did, we went back later and found it dead down over the side of the road. And no I didn't bring it back and butcher it, Just wanted to set and relax and enjoy the rest of our day. Orlin
  18. Thoughts and Prayers on their way
  19. We have had a good time having the get togethers here at out place, And have seemed to of always had great times rain or shine. But this year its just not in the cards. I have way to many pans in the fire and have to give up somethings and as much as I hate to this is one of them. I am sure that we will be putting something together in the future maybe towards fall we will see how it goes. Sure am going to miss seeing everyone that comes, Don't be shy about coming to see us, we do like company and it doesn't take any arm twisting to get to go out for a ride. Thanks again to all of you that have came and made for the great times, we have met some of the greatest people and made some fine friends that have become more than family. Orlin and Sharon
