    Cheap Parts

    gunboat replied to MAINEAC's topic in Watering Hole

    thanks maineac for the reminder about s. seattle. i had ordered some stuff from them. all was ok, but the last order for a simple clutch housing gasket never showed up. went to my local stealer. the parts guys told me they had a new $5,000 gasket cutting machine. made my gasket on the spot. if you have a part # it will cut it. i didn't fuss at s.seattle 'cause it was during the holidays. will have to check out your link. thanks again don c.

    hi all had a great time at kbay's (kreg & janet) yesterday. bbq was alsome. was nice to out in the country again. i was also lucky to give a young lady her first m/c ride. at first she was scared about going. but ponch (david) rode along with the girl's mother. as we started around the block (about 5 miles or so). she started smiling and enjoying the ride. as we got back to kbay's she told me (let's go again). her mom told her (see i told you you would like it ) we did after a short break this time she rode with ponch and i took my daughter with me. took her around the block one more time. she asked me to go farther and faster. had a great time visiting and talking eating and talking. my wife got to meet everyone for the first time. she got to put faces with handles and names. she normaly does't come along 'cause of our 13 y.o. daughter. she and my daughter had a geat time thanks again kreg & janet best reguards/ride safe remember the reason for the hoilday don c.

    hay maineac no offence taken and i hope i didn't offend you. please understand i was just trying to spur the t-shirt sales on. the committe has worked so hard to set this event up and running. they just need our help in what ever way we can. but as reiny has said time is running out. as i have stated i have been behind this event sense i read about it here last oct or nov. i'am not retired & i'll will have to keep working till i'am at least 65. i work for a company that makes us bid on our vacation time off a year in advance ( union shop ). so i was just lucky to bid my vacation time off around this event. best reguards don c.

    hi maineac i couldn't make the ft.collins rally 'cause my vacation time had all ready been spoken for so i know what your saying. everyone had a chance to suggest a date for this rally. then everyone had a chance to vote for the best date. so it was a groupe effort of all the venturerider membership WHO voted and this date had the most votes. now i have commited my self to ride my bike all the way from houston to the rally. how ever many show up i plan on having a great time,and they that show up will too. everyone can help support the rally even if you can't come. just buy a t-shirt & patch. the committe needs 100 firm paid in full t-shirt & patch sales NOW to get a price break. i think there's only about 35 paid up front sales so far. let me change that to 45 'cause i just paid for 10 more t-shirts & patches. but i won't get those if they can't get the first 100 firm p.i.f. orders. there won't be any ( i'll just wait and buy them there.) these folks can't afford to pay for this stuff out of their pockets and then not be able to sell them. i hope i haven't offened anyone that's was not my intend just trying to restate what's all ready been said. hope everyone has a great holiday and please remember what it stands for. don c.

    hi they work great bleed my brakes last weekend and did the clutch this week. took only about 30 mins. each to bleed the systems. don c.:cool10:

    hi reiny i'll commit to to 10 more t-shirts and patches that will give me a even dozen. i looked up the the texas venturerider membership and saw about 322 riders that were registered. if each person of that 322 bought a t-shirt that would pull the t-shirts out of the hole. reiny i hope at least everyone will get behind the t-shirts and patch sales. we already know their's not going to be 100 people show up. they could at least support the t-shirt/patch sales. best reguards don c. p.s. if just 10 venturerider members in every state would buy, wow wouldn't that be something.

    goin over to kbay's for another houston m&e and some home cooked B B QUE. heared someone's cow got out and he had to shoot it to protect his crops. ya'll be safe and have a great weekend. but remember why we have this day off. don c.
  22. gunboat
    hi reiny can you give us an update on the t-shirt sales for the rally? how close are we to having the 100 you need for the price break. i could buy a couple more myself if that would help. my old wing t-shirts are starten to get a little holy. will make great polishing rags for the 2ed gen. i figure if even 1/3 of the venturerider membership bought just one t-shirt that would save the t-shirt sales. best reguards don c.
