    Yup, that's a pretty accurate summary!

    While I truly appreciate all of your input folks. You were all talking like I know what a float bowl is, let alone what it looks like. I reached out to Marcarl for his guidance and his assistance with my dilemma. After a CAA ride to Carl's and a push up the driveway into his garage it took him about 15 mins to get her purring like a kitten. I really believe that she missed Carl and just wanted to go for a visit. That man has "the touch". I'm sure it helps that he owned the identical year as mine. Many many thanks to all of you for your assistance and also to Carl for being a Venture Whisperer. Thomas

    I have upgraded headlight to LED (shout out to Evan for the link on EBay.) It is phenomenally bright! Can someone provide graphic instructions (not language but rather, detailed ) (pics would be awesome for a simpleton like me) on how to rid my dash of headlight icon with red light as well as white headlight warning light? Many thanks in advance! Thomas

    So tried (key word here is tried) to start her up today and after many cranks I have fuel pouring out of the carbs. Flooded big time? She just wouldn't catch. Thoughts? Thomas

    she looks beautiful! Now you're gonna want to put your own stamp on her. That's right, accessorize! Love it. Make it your own. Thomas

    We're so upset that we missed this awesome event. I was reminded that it is my responsibility to remember this gathering. It was the Monday after when I said "Hey, Carl's get-together should be coming up soon." so I jumped on here to look up the actual date. Ugh! It was two days ago! Deer in headlights face....for quite a while. Then, a couple of tears. We are happy that you all had a good time. Guaranteed fun day for sure. Sally & Thomas

    Jawa also named. I rode a Jawa 250 Enduro when I was learning how to ride. Between that and a Zundapp 50 Street bike I was able to figure it out. That Jawa was powerful! Thomas

    When i was ready to buy my bike (sales bonus pay burning a hole in my pocket), I originally had my heart set on a Wing. After a couple of months of browsing it came down to a Cavalcade or a Venture Royale. Both sitting side by side at a dealership. I liked the look of both but there was something about the Venture that made the difference. I took her out for a test drive and that was it. She rode really nice. Sitting high in the saddle was a bonus. I could see over some cars which I considered a safety thing. She just looked sportier too. I thought that sporty look on a touring bike was sexy. That was 12 yrs ago and I never regretted that decision. Besides, look at all these great misfits I have had the pleasure to meet and chat with here. I couldn't imagine missing this. Thomas

    Hi Dusty. I'm in your town, Woodstock. Yes, I live here. Not just passing through. If you view my profile you will see that I ride an '85 VR. I don't have parts and I am a novice (better than peewee) at working on the bike. Shoot me a pm if you want. I might not have any answers but 2 scratching heads are better than one. :think: Thomas

    Guaranteed!

    Those are a couple of nice looking displays. Got me thinking, has anyone refit a first gen with a batwing? Thomas

    I am a huge fan of Waze! Route planning on my android ( also available for the iPhone ) that provides real time traffic, speed traps, and accidents. All road conditions are reported by users so it is constantly updated as you drive. Check it out at http://www.waze.com. Or download it from Google Play Store or iTunes. I never drive (or ride) without it. Thomas
