no time for cabin fever this year. i finally got time to get the bike out and take a short ride friday. just have to many pokers in the fire, and the excitement just was'nt there. this just may be my last year of riding. i would like to find a new hobby. maybe back to trains. i'm in semi retirement now,( just working when i feel like it). i'm thinking about buying old crap and restoring it for resale. any one got any old crap forsale.lol. i've got some bikes for sale. like a 2007 v-star 1300 tourer, and a 1958 cushman pacemaker with modern up grades. will consider old crap in part trade, good crap only. :rotf:this gettin old is for the birds. for you youngsters out there, live life likes theres no tomorrow. retirement ain't all that neat. i was in the fast lane all my life, and have great memories and friends that made it all worthwhile. value the friends you meet on venturerider.org, there just ain't none out there better. i have my eye on a nice caboose to put in my back yard and restore. would you believe linda said it ain't gonna happen. what is she thinking.

i think i have a genuine yamaha one for a v-max. should be the same as the venture one. give me a couple of days to find it. i have to remember which tool box it is in. i will get back with you. if so you are welcome to it. just pay the shipping. could'nt be more than $10.00. if you don't want to pay the shipping i will. and you can buy me a beer someday. don't hold it against me if i don't find it. lol

i had an rstd with alot of the venture goodies on it. it was very top heavy and had alot of frame flex when pushed hard in the curves. i now have a v-star 1300 and a stratoliner s. i just turned 70 and have weak legs. the strat is still a piece of cake to ride. it sits low, has the power and handling of a gold wing, and tons of legroom. i find the stock seat comfotable but the passenger seat leaves much to be desired, according to my wife. one reason i got rid of the rstd was lack of low rpm torque and i just plain got tired of the constant up and down shifting. once i got used to 1800 or 1900 cc power like my wing had and my strat has, nothing else will fill the bill for me. my v-star has plenty of power , but the engine is extremely noisy. i think my rstd and my strat are probably the best looking bikes i have ever owned. i love the wing but my legs could,nt handle the limited space. ride a strat it may fill the bill, and new ones are cheap on ebay.

hey eck, ive been trailering for the last 4 years. my being tough days are a thing of the past. ive been riding since i was 12 and im going to be 70 next month. tried the gang route, done moto cross, pro hill climbing, drag racing, enduro, had over 70 bikes, and traveled alot. i figure if a guy trailers he has a reason. i'm just glad at 70 i can still handle 2 wheels. even if it is for only 300 miles at a time. not to mention if i ask linda to go over 100 miles she says don't let the door hit you in the ass. :rotf:

i put the bikes away too early this year. got the strat in my shop for the winter, needing new tires. the v-star is in the trailer for the winter on the charger, that leaves me with the majesty scooter, and cushman to ride this winter. ugh. the weather here has been awesome. whats a guy to do? i did ride the cushman about a 1/4 mile last weekend to test out the new mikuni i put on it. guess i will just sit here and suffer.

one of my winter projects this year is an eck style camper. i bought a new doolittle cargo trailer. so far i have wired it with 110 outlets , a porch light, interior outlets and lighting. black friday came at the right time. i have a mini refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, hot plate , and gas grill. this poor mans camping is getting expensive. it is alot cheaper than a toy hauler. the only things i have left, is air conditiong, and an awning. i owe eck some coffee so i need to go to a meet where eck is at. maybe vogel next year. how about it eck? snarley bill
