  1. I LOVE THAT! Imagine not having to step outside while clearing the snow! Fantastic! I want one too!
  2. Here's a snapshot of Woodstock ON forecast. Nothing for next weekend here.
  3. Hi Guys, I did a search for Toronto International Motorcycle Show and the dates are February 21 - 23, 2014 - NEW DATES. Is this the one we're talkin about? Thomas
  4. So now I am curious since I ride a 1985 Venture Royale. Why did you remove all that has to do with the radio? And, what, if anything, did you replace it with? Thomas
  5. So, I bought an android tablet and I am asked if I want to instal the Tapatalk app to view this forum. I read the reviews and they don't look too favourable. So, I ask "does anyone here use the app and how do you like/hate it? Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thomas
  6. Yup. Did mine last season. Carl's right. Watch the spring when you take the switch apart. I found that I had great results by disassembling the switch and sanding the contacts with 600 grit paper. I found that one contact was lower than the other so I trimmed the base so the contact was flush with the surface. Reassembled and "voila"....all good. I'd say a two beer job when approached at a moderate pace. Thomas
  7. Welcome Back Rooster! Still have the driving lamps you sold me. It will be good to see you again. Not fer nuthin but you're not exactly back yet. Reinyrooster Trial Member Just sayin' Thomas
  8. Can't do it guys. We're off to Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that weekend. To those who make the trip...have fun. Thomas
  9. May 6, 2013 at 5:58 AM 3 killed in 2 motorcycle crashes in state Posted by Nick Provenza QUILCENE (AP) — Three people were killed in two motorcycle crashes over the weekend on Highway 101 in Western Washington. The Washington State Patrol says two motorcycles collided head-on Sunday afternoon on a curve on the highway south of Quilcene. Both riders were ejected and 26-year-old Nicholas H. Montague of Lacey died at the scene. The other rider, 45-year-old Rodney T. Sutherland of Port Hadlock, was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Thomas
  10. So, can we make this a "sticky" in a forum so it is easily found for future reference? I LOVE this idea. Thomas
  11. Last year (before Jevco was bought by [intact]) i paid $620. Just got my bill from [intact] and it's $828.00 I'm gonna look into some options I have seen here.
  12. Well, I just received my insurance renewal from [intact] insurance and it was up by almost $200 for a 1 year policy on my 1985 Venture Royale. I should have gotten into the insurance business. They never lose. I refuse to pay this increase so my question to fellow Ontarians is obvious. Who covers you and are they reasonable? I am interested in all options. Thanks Everyone. Thomas
  13. I am always interested in anything that promotes the superior model of Ventures. I'll take a couple when the design is finalized. Thomas
  14. You know you're Canadian when you get all steamed up over what the government has done.....but wait for someone else to say something about it.
  15. Love the look. Love the Garmin integrated. I compared this to the 2013 Royal Star Venture S on the Yamaha website and the bottom line in the comparison chart kinda surprised me. The 2013 Royal Star Venture S has a 5 year limited warranty and the 2013 V Star 1300 Deluxe has a 1 year limited warranty. Why would that be? Thomas
  16. This time of year I watch the weather looking for a nice day to plan a trip on the 1st Gen. And week after week I am consistently disappointed with the weather but more importantly, the timing of the weather. I am noticing (and I'm sure many of you have as well) that the weather during the week will have one or two days of sunshine while the weekend is always wet and miserable. I propose we reset the week. We need to pause the week so that the weather comes into alignment with the days of the week and that will give us sunny weekends. So here's what we do. Wednesday October 31 will be the start of the reset. The next day will be Wednesday November 01, and the third day will be Wednesday November 02. Then we carry on as usual. We have now reset the week. Now the days that used to be sunny in the middle of the week are now the weekend and we can ALL appreciate more sunny days on the weekends. If this doesn't work, I'm moving to Texas. They always seem to have sunny weekends. Thomas
  17. Abdul, you look like a hard a$$ criminal in that photo. What's the matter? Underwear bunching up on you? Thomas
  18. Saturday looks good. Mostly sunny. High of 17c. Sunday - rain. Thomas
  19. Abdul, are you planning on swimming in your cup of coffee? Thomas
  20. Ok. That's fine. I'll buy the coffee at the "T-Shirt Pick-up Rally". Where ever we meet and who ever attends, I'm buying a cup of coffee for everyone. Thomas
  21. Just let me know when you have them and we can meet for a coffee. Thomas
  22. Windshield decal?? Any chance of this happening? Thomas
  23. Welcome back from the Dark Side Ray! Looks like when we're all together, you'll be beside Wayne and I'll be beside Carl. I'm looking forward to seeing your Venture up close.
  24. Wayne, If you're riding down to pick up the cb, let me know what day. I may be able to tag along with you. Thomas
