Venturous

I have mushroom plugged nail holes in the tread of several bike tires and ran them until they were worn out. And I would not hesitate to do so again. I see no way for a mushroom plug to 'pop' out. I use a kit similar to the bike master kit in the video above. But I would not do that on a sidewall puncture.

Slight change of plans for us. Don't have to work that weekend after-all, so we can stay three nights. We will arrive Thursday, departing Sunday and they have us on D-19.

That is the same route I can see me taking when the day comes. Sorry for the health issues, but happy to hear you aren't ready to stop enjoying the open road!

Opps. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing that.

+1 Garmin Zumo. I use a Garmin 660 since I had no use for the satellite weather and some other options the pricier model offered. What I like is I loaded my MP3 music to the GPS and it integrated nicely into my Venture AUX. The ZUMO's are very weather proof and are fairly easy to read in all light. No need for gadget condoms or sun shields to make it usable.

If anyone knows someone looking for a used Bushtec trailer, I will likely have one for sale soon. Not ready to list it yet until I get camper trailer in hand. But most likely will have one to sell soon.

I have experience squealing when IC volume is set high. Always has been during or after riding in rain.

Lisa and I are booked Wednesday and Thursday night. We can play on Friday as well, but only live a few hours away so will head home late Friday.

We booked Wed & Thur night. We can ride on Friday also maybe but will have to head home after dinner Friday.

I want to thank those who took the time to answer all of Lisa's thousand questions about your tent trailers. It did not take long for her to find what I wanted... We decided getting fully off of the ground was important to us. Set-up time was not a big deal. I'm retired. Got plenty of time. Time out models take longer than some to setup from the videos I watched. So, after years of loading tent and cots into our Bushtec, we will be pick this up from Iowa next week as long as it is as nice as advertised. Hardly used and has a screen room and air conditioner. Thanks again for the education!

We missed our time slot. But it was a great ride and trip anyway. We did get a tour of the closed restoration area.

Lisa and I made it safely home. We very much enjoyed our first VentureRider event. It was wonderful to make some new friends that we so hope to meet again soon. Mike, Karen, and Donna... Great job! Thank you so much for making this happen. Orchestrating such a large event out of your own area is no small feat! The folks at Lake Guntersville Powersports also deserve a big thank you for all they did. The only negative is Lisa is now convinced we need a bunkhouse or a similar motorcycle camper... Actually... I know it would make it nicer if we had one. Anyway, here are some of the photos we took of the event. https://www.flickr.com/photos/123265685@N06/sets/72157646048737766/

It was a great pleasure for Lisa and me to meet you and Tippy. We hope to again enjoy your company.

Happy Birthday Chuck

A couple shots from the camp.

Sorry... I assumed you were on a bike.

I just used one 8 oz bottles for each tire the past 4 tire changes. Seem to be perfectly balanced to me. I do not think the extra oz would make enough difference to buy a third bottle. YMMV

Congrats. I do recommend you use the relay method if you ever get the nerve to tackle the gas tank. Removing the gas tank is really isn't that hard. Just make sure you have an old blanket or couple of towels to lay it on to prevent any dings.

What part number is it? Even if the right one... I do recall I had to work a LITTLE to get mine to fit. But if it seems WAY different.. probably wrong part.

That is the first three wheeled design I've seen that I might ever consider. For now, I figure when I can't ride on two wheels... I'll probably just move to a sporty convertible roadster of some sort. If I can't lean... it just ain't a motorcycle IMHO. This looks very interesting!

That stinks! I hope this can be resolved quickly so you can still make it...

Get on I-81, stay on it to Marion Va. Take Rt16 from Marion, VA to Beckley, WV. At Beckley pick which interstate gets you to where you need to be. This route will clearly take you longer, but Rt16 is a simply wonderful ride. In fact the first 33 miles is refered to as 'Back of the Dragon'. If you want a t-shirt for the ride... stop in Thompson Country Store shortly before you get to Tazewell, VA
