    So, it's come to this. I can't believe what I'm reading. My kids think I'm ok/cool. Not the coolest but an ok guy. (I am their father so really, how cool am I allowed to be by their standards) I kid around with them by saying I am part of a motorcycle gang....The VentureRiders! Oh yeah! We're tough! We're bad dudes (and dudettes) who ride into town, take over the buffet table and leave with plenty of noise! That's the life of a VentureRider biker. If they knew that we were talking about "the best way to hang toilet paper", I'd be laughed out of 5th grade! C'mon, Freebird, can't we hide this topic? I have but a shred of credibility as a motorcycle rider. Please don't let me go down like this. Midicat

    I have noticed this bike in the driveway and thought I should stop in and introduce myself and Ventureriders but it would appear I am too late. It's a clean looking bike and I'm thinking it's a good deal. It looks like he's missing the trunk. For what it's worth... http://stcatharines.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-motorcycles-touring-Still-available-as-of-Sept-19-1984-Yamaha-Venture-XVZ-12000-W0QQAdIdZ150331358

    Reiny is great that way. Marcarl on the other hand, well let's just say that a couple of Tylenol and a shot of Jack makes it easier the first time you meet him. Then, after a while, all you need is the Jack.

    Thom, I'd be really interested in seeing close-up images of where it crosses under the scoot.

    SilvrT, I just wouldn't be riding a scoot if I had to pay that plus car, plus house, plus life, plus, plus, plus. :crying:

    Take some pepperettes to pass out. That'll get 'em on your side. Drive carefully. There's more nuts on the roads the closer you get to this country's capital.

    Victoria Stafford, better known as Tori, was last seen leaving Oliver Stephens School on Wednesday April, 08, where she is a Grade 3 student. Her parents reported her missing at around 6 p.m. that night. The family of missing eight year old Tori Stafford are planning a charity motorcycle ride to raise funds for psychiatrists and psychologists. 'Tori's Ride Home' is planned for May 2 leaving the Zellers parking lot in Woodstock and ending at Southend Appliances with registration starting at 11:30. I believe that if you're not heading to Bob's M&E and are close enough to participate and show your support, you should. This family has been severely traumatized by the abduction of their girl.

    GeorgeS is right. The header pipe is a couple of bolts. The pain in the a$$ part is loosening of the thermostat housing to get that extra wiggle room so the starter will drop out. You may want to order a gasket for that in case it won't move and you have to scrape it off.

    I'm not experienced in this kind of stuff but if you have their home number wouldn't it make sense to notify your insurance broker regarding the incident and be sure to quote the police report number.

    Christo, If getting there is half the trip then you may have a nice ride by staying on Canada side and doing Hiway #3 just outside of Windsor, ON. You can follow that all the way into Fort Erie and then take the Niagara Parkway from Fort Erie up to Niagara Falls and the edge of the Horseshoe Falls. Highway #3 has you traveling through some small towns like Delhi (the heart of tobacco country), St. Thomas, home of Canada's first woman's college. Built to teach women how to be ladies (designated heritage site and slated to be converted into condos before it burned down 1 month ago), Cayuga, home of Toronto Motorsports Park and the Cayuga Motor Speedway. Port Colborne, the town located at the Lake Erie opening of the famous Welland Canal. And of course, so much more. It would be approx. 5-6 hrs from Windsor to Fort Erie, depending on stops. Just a thought since I know when I ride, If I have the time I prefer to stay OFF the expressways. Call me when you get here, and I'll take you for a spin around wine country. I live in St. Catharines and I would be happy to show you some nice rides. Midicat

    SeaFoam - $$$$

    Midicat replied to DonB's topic in Watering Hole

    I just got back from Carquest where I purchased Seafoam for $9.35/can. They've got me by the short and curlys. You wanna play, you gotta pay.

    Here are the shots you need. I remember thinking like you, that I wish someone would take a photo for me. So, I'm paying it forward.

    I'm with Jevco through Dalton Timmis in Burlington. I pay $700/year on a '85 VR to have one million liability and no collision. If I brake it, I still own the pieces. I can't speak for anyone else here about income, but on a personal note, I make ALOT of money delivering newspapers. I do better after collection day.

    I received my brace today. I popped off the old brace and set the new one in place...or at least tried to. I promptly came here to look up the forum for ideas on how to address this, since I figured that I probably wasn't the only one with a small install issue. After reading the above I decided I would give it a go in a different direction. Here's what I did. For those of you who prefer NOT to loosen every bolt in the front end so this brace "falls" into place, may I suggest taking out your Dremel or other high speed rotary tool and using the sanding drum with course sand paper to gently remove the 1000th of an inch of product required to make this brace fit. Remove the aluminum from the inside of the arc that wraps around each fork. It worked for me. BIG THANKS TO CONDOR FOR PUTTING THIS BUY TOGETHER! Thomas

    Hey Brian, I'm in. I'll see you at Smithville Tim Hortons at 11:00am tomorrow.

    Living in Niagara and 15 minutes from the border, I can tell you that I have to agree with sarges46. We cross over into NYS often and we have the hardest time getting back into our own country. So, you may experience more difficulty getting back home rather than getting over here. We always welcome our U.S. visitors. "Citizenship?" "Where you going?" "Have a good day!" Your own government will be asking all the questions when you return. "Citizenship?" "Where you been?" "How long away?" "Buy anything?" "Value?" "Pull over to the left, please"
