    Way back when, I did the four brush starter mod on my '85. Completely cured the "I don't wanna start" syndrome in the bike. Never a problem since. Just sayin'. Thomas

    I'm out for a spin yesterday and lovin' the warm weather and country back roads. And I notice this happening a few times during the ride. Starting out from an intersection, turning right or left, clear road (no sand, gravel, road kill) the rear tire slips its grip. Just a little, but noticeable. I'm not what you would call a hard rider. You won't find me scrapping pegs on turns. So I'm thinking because I don't use the outside edge of the tire except maybe on turns from intersections, the grip is lost due to lack of use. My question is: Would it be a good idea to rough up the outside edge of the tire with sand paper to get the rubber to grip better? Has anyone tried this or had experience with it? I just figure that it sounds logical. Of course, I watched the Leafs this year. Don't know why. Thomas

    Who done it

    Let's examine this. We need some more info. What make was the bike? Was it a Venture? If so, what gen was the bike? Colour? Any distinguishable marks that could help narrow this search? Answers people, we need answers!

    I agree. I have one very big beef about that thermostat housing. It is potentially exposed to road debris like, oh I don't know, rocks! And the friggin' thing is made of plastic! Again I ask, what were they thinking??!! Thomas

    I ride an '85 and I bought it from a dealer 6 or 7 years ago. I knew nothing about the bike, issues, or history. All I knew was I was comfortable on it during the test ride, and it had options I was looking for. Radio, fairing, trunk, side bags, air conditioning.... I have invested time and money into my Venture Royale and I have to say it's the best purchase I've ever made. Never a regret and it only gets better with every ride. Loving life on my Venture!

    I just think that it's funny that saddlebum is in a conversation about a "stud". Does everyone else see the Stallion in his signature? I guess he knows all about studs.

    Not for nothin', but what would you do to refinish those? What does the finished product look like? Post pics of finished pieces, please. Thomas

    Ok, that's great news! I had images in my mind of you pumping the bellows to stoke the fire so you could melt the iron ore to hand forge these things. Thought maybe you could use more firewood.

    Is this dead? Are we going ahead with this? What are ya doin' Carl, forging the steel by hand? Just askin'.
