Count me in Please

do not forget pictures

Got back in today around 3 from our road trip. Had a flat tire on my Trailer about 4 hours out of home. What a way to start a road trip! As some may know we started on the bike it broke down in Shamrock Tx. ( clutch issues) Well Saturday the 10 me and Obber Charles from Amarillo tried until midnight to bleed the clutch. To no avail . Thanks to Chales for the hands on help and also a shout out to Squidley for the teck help over the phone. Squidley even offered to come to Shamrock from Houston ( at least 12 hours) to trailer me back home. So Sunday wife and I went to church and on Monday the preacher (who is into old cars) helped me get my bike to the powersport dealer in Amarillo using his really cool car trailer with a dove tail. Easy loading and unloading. So my Bike at the dealers and the wife and i got a rental car to complete our trip to the Dakota's and back. So we went from (loosing 2 days of travel) Texas thru Oklahoma, Kansas stayed the night in Ogaillia Nebraska. Stayed 4 nights in Custer South Dakota (wife actually camped 3 nights without any complaints). Even when the buffalogot really close to the car. Went to Stugis (on 4 wheels ) Then into Cody Wyoming for 2 nights. Then 1 night in Cheyenne Wyoming, pushing into Colorado staying 1 night in Limon ( a small interstate town, Then Thursday we got back to Texas. Back in Amarillo, first thing was to pick up the bike ( dealer said he ha to power bleed the clutch several times and then filling he blew air through it refilled and power bled again and wow the clutch worked. ( only cost me 106 for the bike and 420 for the rental car in unexpected expenses). Then a solo trip to the Cadillac ranch. So left Amarillo Friday and Stayed the night in Sweetwater Texas, Leaving this morning to head home to Round Rock, The only rain we got was while on the bike heading to the house this morning. High winds and rains. Glad i was on a Venture.

We were there Thursday I didn't think about checking posts to see if anyone else was there.

Took bike to dealer in Amarillo got rental car to finish vacation. Now we have seen sturgis on 4 wheels not 2. We are sitting here tonight in cody Wyoming camping at the ponderosa.

My clutch is out I am 7 hours from home. Charles from Amarillo and I bleed it but discovered that the rubber piece on the actuator / piston is ripped . I need the who clutch Master cylinder assy so I can get hgack on the road. Possibly overnight it would work. Please call me if you can help my number is 512 554 2731. I have a 2nd gen. Please help thanks. John.

Hey Scott our prayers are sent out for you Brother

Has anyone stayed here recently: Two Wheels of Suches Used to be two wheels only. I stayed there back in 02 or 03 it was sounds better now.

get well soon

So just in case anyone else gets the symptoms I had with my 2012 look under the back seat. It was a $170- lesson for me, I probably move something when i messing with the antenna. Who would have thought a wire under the back seat would have made the whole radio go Quite.

Guys I Know about the HS and it is the same at 30 in hs mode it should blow out your ear drums I tried it all I will go in and check cables tomorrow

Just got the bike back from dealer ( they said they didnt go into the fairing). The problem is that the radio / including AUX when turned up to 30 on the volume you can barely hear it. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it. i can hear through front and rear both really low / but volume says 30 I am heading to Galveston on Thursday for Lone star rally and would like to fix before that if possible. Lucky still under warranty until Dec - so Back to dealer after the rally Thanks

Welcome back brother, thanks for your service John

looking for someone who can do some metal fabrication to make some light brackets. I have the originals just would like to get some made of better / stronger material if possible I can send you the brackets and what I would like done a little extra Thanks

thanks Guys It sounded like a scam to me also Good info

I have a person wanting to buy my 2006 Yamaha venture for the price i posted it in CL. he wants my PayPal account so he can pay me for it. Sorry but this sounds like a scam Has anyone ever sold a vehicle thru Pay Pal?? When i suggested a certified check he said i have my funds on my paypal account. Is there a safe way to verify that he is legit . his has scam written all over it. i checked the area code and it is in Galveston Texas area. Thanks

Does anyone have a trunk top rack laying around that they would be interested in selling???

Thanks Marcarl It is more of a pulsation not vibration I ordered a set of rotors

I think my front rotors may be a little warped I get vibration when I hit the front brakes. I think the PO had someone changing tires that might have warped a rotor. That being said does anyone have a set of front rotors for a 2nd gen that i could buy off of you??
