    Got 1 with a bow, and one today with my rifle. My son got one also last month. We process our deer ourselves. I want to be sure my sons not only know how to hunt, but how to properly prepare them. We waste almost nothing. What isn't cut up for steak, roast and stew is ground and we make summer and breakfast sausage. For those who are so against hunting deer... I can only assume you are vegetarians to which I respect your decision but not my cup of tea. If you think eating a big mac is more humane than eating venison... I suggest you visit a beef farm sometime.. Our local TWRA agent was telling us last year that TN is concerned about the rapid deer population growth. Youth hunting licenses have been on decline for many years and fewer hunters has led to over population is many areas.

    Cowboy, please let us know if the new stator makes everything all good. I am experiencing almost the exact symptoms as you. Not charging properly and the only tests out of spec are my AC readings which seem low. But because I am getting 'equal' low readings, I am being told by others the stator is likely good. FWIW, I currently have the buckeyeperformance stator and it is about 6 years old and has about 50k miles on it.. so if it is bad.. it did pretty well. I am leaning towards a Ricks Motorsports stator from Dennis Kirk due to major cost difference. BTW, I was on The Dragon Friday (yesterday) for a 300 mile test ride. Didn't see any other Ventures. Hope you were able to get out! Thanks.

    Just a little update on the Hagon. I dug this thread up while researching the Hagon and was concerned that ordering the heavy duty shock could take way too long. Here is the reply I just got back from Hagon Shocks in CA regarding that... Anyway, seems maybe getting the heavy duty version is not a problem now. I am still undecided, but will post a review if I go with the Hagon. Works must be on drugs to think their shock is worth that much. I don't need a gold plated shock! $469 plus free shipping verses $700 or $800 is a lot of beer! -------------------------------------------- Hi Gary, We find that a lot of people with this bike do ride two-up often, which is why we stock the special build shock as well as the standard one. We could send it out on Monday, so you would have it by next Friday. As I said, we have them in stock and it's 4 days shipping to Tennessee. Thanks, Christina Hagon Shocks, LLC 1788 La Costa Meadows Drive Suite 101 San Marcos, CA 92078 760.798.8015 760.510.2758 fax hagonshocks@yahoo.com www.hagonshocksusa.com

    Congratulations Shane and Dad!! It is very fitting to be proud. Only 5% or less of boys who join scouts ever earn this rank. Many of our nations leaders, past and present as well as many of our heros first demonstrated their leadership by earning this rank. I know well the effort and leadership needed to acquire this difficult goal. My oldest son is just now preparing to submit his eagle project proposal and I hope he has the right stuff to follow through.

    Still a retiree newbie only having been retireed about 9 months but so far it is great. Lots of yard work and such with a new home, yet still have time to ride, hunt, and fish all I can stand. In June I am taking the family on a one month griswalds RV tour of the US. Something I could not have done while still working the salt mines. Overall... do whatever you want..... but do something. If you start knowing the names of soap opera characters... its time to find a hobby or another job.

    Only lost one hickory tree. But we needed to replenish the smoker wood pile anyway, so its all good. Certainly were a lot of warnings though.

    Another possibly better solution to dynabeads would be to use Ride-On Sealant ( http://www.ride-on.com/motorcycle-formula-mot.html ). Not only does it seal small punctures, it can also act as a high speed balancer. And I can confirm this stuff works for sealing punctures. I pulled a large nail from a tire with Ride-On with 3k miles on it and the tire held air well until I wore it out. For me, killing two birds with one stone is a better option.

    Use air-soft gun BB's. They won't rust. But you will need more of them to equal the 2oz most of our tires would need. Plus I think you would have to add them as the tire was mounted since i don't think they will go through the valve.

    I don't put wheel borrow tires on my bicycle, lawn mower tires on my ATV, and I ain't putting car tires on my motorcycle. But to those who do...

    Total solar eclipses only occur somewhere in the world every 18 years or so. The next one will occur on August 21, 2017. While checking this out I found that the path of totality will pass in my area. In fact, it crosses right over the Cherahola Skyway. So, I think this would be a good place to ride and party on this day. Mark your Mayan calendar... Here are maps showing the path of totality...

    Hi Randy. Well, I have been going by Venturous since 2001 and see no reason to change now. I keep finding more roads to explore all the time. The other thing I like is the lack of congestion compared to the DC area. Yeah, Knoxville can get dicy at times, but other than that, riding in this area is a pleasure.

    Like others have mentioned, The Dragon is must do for the t-shirt, but there are really a lot better roads in this area with out all of the organ donors. Do definitely ride the Cherahola and a ride over the Smokys into Gatlinburg is worth the ride. A trip into Maggie Valley to the Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum I highly recommend, but check their hours before riding in... http://www.wheelsthroughtime.com There is another road near the TN/VA border called the Shady Valley Snake which is also a fun ride, but it doesn't have the notoriety of the dragon. I found a road in my own back yard a few weeks ago that made the dragon seem tame. Rt 66 out of Rogersville, Tn. I doubt you will be disappointed with a trip to this area.
