Just wondering how many board certified EMT's we have here at Venturerider..........It would be especially good to know we have one around at any meet or rides, just in case the unexpected happens.........

A friend of mine that shares an interest in handguns shot this to me yesterday. Made me cringe a bit. I've seen a couple of ammo mishaps before but this had to be a close call for the shooter. A guy came into the PD the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 (44 Mag.) that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range. He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new ammo, (Chinese made), and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash. When the tweety birds cleared, this is what he saw ... Bet he never uses Chinese made Ammo again!

Yesterday I had a female friend ask me what "size" the Venture was. I explained to her that it had a 1300cc engine. She said "Oh, that's small enough for me to handle". I told her that it was a VERY heavy bike. She then proceded to inform me that she had she motorcycle license and said "The weight doesn't matter, as long as it has a small engine, I can handle it". :bang head: I didn't even bother to waste my breath trying to explain the difference. Needless to say, she WILL NOT ride it. :no-no-no:

Oh man did I have a good one today! I was bored out of my tree yesterday, 4 days straight of rains (nasty stuff rain) and yesterday at least it was coming down misty, straight down like, not so much horizontal.. So I decided to head north to visit the parents, 5 hours of highway.. After having the leveling links installed, hyd clutch fluid flushed, steering neck tightened and etc etc.. it was a great ride north.. no rain really.. Spent the nice but had to beat feet home this afternoon in front of a vicious squall line of T-Storms.. wow.. bright in front of me, pitch black behind me, wish I had the camera with me.. Anyway.. on the way home, I'm cruising along, all nice and happy, enjoying the ride, divided highway mode, I decided to do the last 100 miles in 4th gear doing 70 mph to see what the fuel mileage was gonna be like with the tall & wide Clearview.. So while on cruise control, I pulled a dead green filled bug from my glasses (go figure with a Tall & Wide windscreen eh?) with my right hand.. as I put my hand on the bar again, I accidentally hit the engine cut off (kill switch) OOOOPPS!!! I had never had that happen to me before and for the hell of me couldn't remember what to do next.. so like a big fat happy bike, I switch it back to on.. BANG!!! (shriek!!) The bang was the bike detonating all the raw fuel obviously, but the shriek was from the poor lady I was passing on the highway egads.. I can only imagine the fright I gave her LOL.. Poor thing.. To be honest, that's the first time I had done that and wow.. it's a big bang at 70 mph.. Question is.. Does that cause any damage to anything? If I were to do this as a stunt 'every blue moon' kinda thing, am I risking harm to my bike? Otherwise it was a fantastic ride.. didn't get wet and enjoyed Nature's fury from a distance =) -
I have a 2000 venture and it whines. Why do they whine? Can this be fixed?

Since our tax dollars that we haven't paid yet are being used to bail out the big 3 auto makers and obama? has already said that the gov is going to own 60% of GM, shouldn't some of us heavy tax payers be entitled to a COMPANY car ?? If so - I opt for a 2009 Silverado Z71

Well the Bike is running so good I decided to work on the old car today. Replacing the upper and lower control Arms on the 93 T-Bird. Frankly would much rather work on a motorcycle !! Much more enjoyable, to say the least

I've had this happen a couple of times now, so I know it is not a fluke. When I lock the handlebars in the turned position, all lights come on, except the headlight. I've read the manual and can not find anything concerning this. Is this an indication that the ignition switch is developing a problem or what?

Rode with a few other couples Sat to J & P Cycle's open house in Anamosa. About 50 miles into the ride we were going around a bend in the road and all we both saw was brown hair and then bang, bang, bang....The deer had to have made one leap from the other side of the ditch right into the left side of our fairing. All I can say is my husband is one heck of a good driver. We skidded into the other lane, onto the gravel shoulder the whole bike is swerving and he held onto it. I can't believe we didn't hit the ditch or lay the bike down. Cut in the front tire from the fender bending down, headlights sitting crooked and a few more dings. We're hoping the forks are ok.I don't think he was going over 45 mph when it happened. I can't belive how lucky we were. Kept on going down to the open house, but between the crowd down there, high winds and rain the whole way home...It was one of those days when we should have just hung it up for the day. No one hurt except his ankle which he drug on the road. A few Harley Riders from our hometown heard about it and everyone of them told Gary."It's lucky you had the Venture...cuz if it would have been an HD it would have never held up to that kind of force hitting it" Hope that's the first and last time we ever hit a deer!

OK, I must have developed a brain fart. Why am I getting a "sigpic" at the bottom of my posts, rather than my states visited map? I changed it after my trip to the smokys last week and can't seem to get it to work since.

I have a 1983 XS650 that will start fine using the enricher however the enricher does not seem to increase RPM the way it should, anyway the only way to keep the engine running until the motor is hot is to increase the idle speed by turning in the idle stop screw about 1 to 1.5 turns, eventually when you blip the throttle the motor will start to free wind on its own, when this happens you can turn the idle stop screw back out the 1 to 1.5 turns and the engine will idle fine and the bike will operate fine until you go to restart it again when it has gotten cold. The carbs were not on the bike when I got it ( they were apart in a box ) The carbs have been rebuilt, the diaphragms are all good an the intake adapters are new, I have had my Carbtune on it and all checks out fine, the mixture screws are set at 13/4 out from seat + or - a little, the air boxes are sealed, I can't think of anything else except. HELP PLEASE .
