We were unable to make it this year but wanted to wish all a great rally! Tom and Terry

Condolences to Becky and family. RIP Bongo. Thank you Tom for keeping everyone informed. At a loss for words right now. Tom and Terry

Positive thoughts from Terry and I.

Thanks very much for the updates Tom. Card is sent. Wish we were closer. Tom

Bob, Terry and I are keeping you in our thoughts. All the best old friend. Tom

You got it buddy. Terry and my thoughts are with you while you fight this. Wish we were closer. All the best. Tom

Our thoughts are with you Bob. T and T

Very Cool! Thanks Bubber.

I would check with your city's ride organizer. I know the new bonnies are OK as they are retro design.

Not sure if someone has posted this or not. The 2018 Distinguished Gentlemens Ride is scheduled for this Sunday, September 30th. This is an international ride to support prostrate cancer and men's mental health. The idea is to dress up in fancy cloths, get on a classic bike and take part in a ride. There are countries and cities around the world who are taking part. I did it last year and it was a hoot. Here is the link to their main page. https://www.gentlemansride.com/about Here is the link to my fundraising page. https://www.gentlemansride.com/fundraiser/TomPhillips155078 If your interested, check out to see if they have a ride organized for your town.

Thanks

Thanks Puc, Will do.

Thanks Bill

Na, I think you are thinking about someone else with the adult beverages... Hmmm. Yes, enjoying the new bike. Took Terry for a ride and wasnt impressed as I thought that I had cross winds gusting up to 50 or 60 klms. Got home and found the winds were gusting up to 90 klms so I guess the wing did OK.

Aww, come on Bubbs. Macgyver will be with him... They sound good even without accompanying instruments. Least that's what I remember. Have a great time!

Thanks Don,

Rats. Thank you. Your right. I need to get a new stator and a safety first.

Hi All, Just FYI, I had been waiting for the 2018 Venture to come out but air cooled engines are just not for me. I picked up a new 2017 Gold Wing last week. And I gotta say, Its awesome! Still have the 84, 1200 Venture and the 2000 Venture Royal, but I think the 1300 will go. But not the 84. I still think that's one of the best bikes ever produced! Now I need to start looking for safety chrome for the 1800. If anyone is looking for a red 2000 venture royal with about 88 000 miles, and lots of extras, let me know. All the best, Tom

Ya, just didn't work out this year. Again, we wish all a great rally. And... If your around Grand Beach in Manitoba on Sept. 1st, you should check out the patio entertainment at the Sand Bar Motor Inn. I think the harp player is pretty good. All the best, T and T

We'll miss y'all too. Hope everyone has a great time with great weather.

Wishing everyone the best but Terry and I are not able to attend this year. T+T

I'm on my 2nd back tire with Ride-on. My front has ride-on as well. So far it has worked great for me. The only negative I know of is it may be an issue after 3 seasons but I normally need a new tire before that time.

Thanks, I had one for my 84 venture. Tried it last year on the 2000 venture and I didn't feel I had the same control of the bike. But I'm going to see if I can make it work until I find a permanent fix.

Thanks, I was thinking of the above seats as well. I used to be able to take the discomfort but I guess not any more.
