    What is your xbox name so I know who to put hits out on I have like 2cagillion dollars on that game.... it was mainly shark cards then I grinded races and missions out... I can't think of the one mission but its not far from one of Los Santos customs in a building where you get some files, then there was another that involved a big heli... out by the windfarm... Na I just kidding, but that caught my eye I loved GTA5 till everytime I went to my garage I got blown up...

     

     

    Snyper,

    My Gamertag is Joey Gabagool. I racked up a bit of coin on that game playing missions. I successfully completed the Mastermind challenge which earned me $20 million ($10 on 360 & 10 on X1) over the last 4 years I earned a total of $2.7B. My wife says I play too much, she may be right lol

    Tomorrow at 10:00 it will be official. I will have 37 years and 8 months with the company. I will walk out a RETIRED man and have no idea what I will get into but I will find something. :happy65: :happy65: :happy65: :happy65:

     

    I retired from banking in NYC at 50, TRUST ME you will have plenty to do. First there is the never ending HONEY DO list. Then there is all the improvements you've always wanted to do on your bike. Sleeping late (great option but it never happens), watching TV until 3am on a Tuesday lol, Let's not forget XBOX (gotta spend a few hours a day on GTA5), taking road trips, and that's just off the top of my head lol

     

    Congrats & most of all ENJOY! :group cheers:

    Found a great source for a motorcycle alarm

    I wonder how much drain it puts on the battery?

     

    IDK, I installed it on the 90 Electra Glide I bought. The Alarm has been set (on & off) as I have been working on it fro 2 weeks now.

    The bike has not really been ridden. That said, I can still fire her up without issue.

     

    OH BTW I just realized that by pushing 2 buttons on the remote, you can program the system to self arm 30 seconds after the ignition is off.

    I found a great source for a decent motorcycle alarm system. It was very easy to wire up. It is a 2 way system which means one of the 2 keyfobs it comes with receives an alert if the alarm goes off.

     

     

    I found it here:

    It's called a SHARK SHKMOT2WAY. I only paid $30 bucks. I has a shock sensor, motion & also remote start & engine kill switch. They shipped fast it got to me in 3 days. Just thought I'd share with the group

    Since the heat shields are chrome, I'm thinking about wrapping the pipes with heat tape & then putting the shields back on.

    It should cut down on heat (at least the 3rd degree burns) while retaining the stock look.

    Love Jborough! Very peaceful & tranquil. Helen has been having a field day at the flea markets & the Farmers markets. My neighbors are horses across the street in front & cows greeting me in the morning during coffee.

    (As seen from the sunroom) lol

     

    Doing a few tweaks & add on's (like trailer hitch) on the bike so possibly will be able to take her there. Need to talk to you about details.

    I sent you an email with our # so we can get together.

    Well I have a new addition to the pen, a 1990 Electra Glide Classic.

    Happen to come across it on Craigslist not far from my new home.

    It has 47K miles and the engine & trans were rebuilt 1,800 miles ago.

    The PO has back issues & now rides a trike and "didn't need 2 Harleys"

    The best thing is I got it for $5k.

    tires - what to get

    in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)

    Posted · Edited by cabreco

    I would love to know what size tires are you running in the E3's? because they aren't offered in the stock 120/90-18 size for that tire. My first choice might have been the commander II's but alas, those aren't offered either.

     

    I bought mine at Cycle Gear when I couldn't deal with the Kenda Kruz tires anymore. What I bout was:

     

    Front Dunlop E3 120/90-18 or MR90 https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/750/-/140026/MR90-18-%2871H%29-Dunlop-Elite-3-Bias-Ply-Touring-Front-Motorcycle-Tire

    Rear Dunlop E3 140/90-16 or MU90 https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/750/19446/Dunlop-Elite-3-Bias-Ply-Touring-Rear-Motorcycle-Tire

    When I bought my 1984 Venture it had Dunlop E2, I thought the bike ran fine. They were a bit worn so I replaced them with Kenda Kruz (yes I cheaped out) I HATED THE WAY THE BIKE RODE. I sucked it up for a few months & was SO HAPPY when I got a nail in the rear tire. I had it patched & started researching. The top 2 that came up were Metzeler & Dunlop E3. After more research I opted for the Dunlop E3 & couldn't be happier. The Venture rides quiet, smooth & nimble.

    Get the E3's you'll be happy you didn't cheap out...ESPECIALLY if you ride a long trips

     

    I forgot to mention, the first long haul I took was 2 up with the wife to Tail of the Dragon. in the rain, all weekend & the bike NEVER felt slippery on the road!

    1984 xvz12dl battery

    I bought my 84 & within a year I replaced the battery with a top of the line Autozone unit. I worked for 3 months, after that it would crank down & die off. I replaced it with an Advanced Auto unit. That worked better but if I didn't run the bike every 4 or 5 days is would get too weak to start the bike after I was cranking it for awhile.

    Then I bought the DEKA from skydoc17. The Price is commensurate with the others and IT WORKS LIKE A DREAM. I leave the bike unstarted for weeks & it fires up. I run ALL the systems & alarms...& it ALWAYS works. I bought that battery 2 years ago, when the time comes...I will get another from SkyDoc17.

    QUALITY BATTERY! Pull the trigger, you will not regret it. As far as the sensor goes ... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?489-Battery-Warning-Bypass

    billmac here's the thing, just looking at the seat, there is no visible difference from the stock seat. Rick pulls the cover off & reshapes the foam based on your needs ( I needed it lowered) the adds memory foam to fill the reshape. I had memory foam cushion pads before the mod...I no longer use them

    Poison Ivy

    I have dabbed straight Clorox on oozing poison ivy. It dries it out. Also Aveeno oatmeal soap. They sell a bath to soak in & a soap bar to wash with.

    BTW that's not too bad...you should have seen the fiasco I had.

    I usually have Internet Explorer, FireFox & Chrome all loaded into my pc. I have found that some websites work best with Chrome. Yahoo works best with Firefox. Everything sucks on Internet Explorer. I'm currently upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop from 8.1 which made it a lot better. There is a new app called Internet Explorer Edge which works pretty well, yet I STILL have Internet Explorer, FireFox & Chrome all loaded into my pc.

    BTW how much Ram is in your computer?
