    Enjoy the ride

    Hope you enjoy the ride ... http://www.lindwa.com/Train.htm Cheers,
  4. This was a project that I was going to do in the winter but it was so cold most of the winter I didn't feel like it. Today after work I fired up the wood stove in the garage and started in. I finished changing the coolant, the spark plugs. and flushed the brake fluid in both the front and rear. I took the coolant reservoir off and cleaned it all out also. The coolant was really in pretty good shape but thought it was time after 38,000 miles. I actually enjoy working on the bike now and can take the time and not be rushed as when I was a kid. It was not a bad job at all for those that may be wanting to but are hesitant because of never doing it before. I am ready for the riding season to be here. Take care.
  5. Now - that has you intrigued, or you wouldn't be having a look. DIL = Daughter-In-Law. Married 4 weeks and told us 2 days ago we can expect to be grand-parents (first time for us) in a little under 9 months time. Can't beat that. Enjoy the photos. (Yes, they're mine. Nothing like being a pro photographer. Saves paying someone else to do the job!)
  6. OK...I admit it...I'm an American Idol junkie. I don't know why or how I started watching it but have done so for about 3 years now and really enjoy it. Any other's here that watch it? I'll admit also that it does inspire me in some weird sort of way. I've mentioned before that I take my guitar with me when I travel. I can watch American Idol and it just makes me want to practice my guitar that much more. I pick it up and start strumming and picking and realize that I'm still terrible. That's OK though, I still enjoy it. I know that we have a few guitar players here. I posted sometime last year that I had picked up a new Seagull acoustic/electric. I tell you, the more I play this guitar the more I like it. Now I've got an urge to pick up a 12 string also. Stopped and looked at some today but haven't decided which one I want yet.
  7. Saw this on another bike fourm I frequent and thought our members here would enjoy it. Larry http://www.gorideontario.com/motorcycle/moto-home.html
  8. My mom told me about seeing this on the local news in NY so I looked it up and found the article with pics. Here it is: http://www.readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=40534 Thought you all would enjoy seeing this. It's definitely interesting. Margaret
  9. I found this link to a great video on another site. It just makes you want to RIDE. Enjoy. [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=x4mU8ZqMZPU]YouTube - Open Road Music Video[/ame]

    Season of the Bike

    I thought maybe with us being in mid-winter, someone might enjoy this little motorcycle story. I didnt write this, Dave Karlotski did. Its posted on my myspace, but I'm posting it here for members to enjoy. ---Brian ____________________________________________________ The Season of the Bike by Dave Karlotski There is cold, and there is cold on a motorcycle. Cold on a motorcycle is like being beaten with cold hammers while being kicked with cold boots, a bone bruising cold. The wind's big hands squeeze the heat out of my body and whisk it away; caught in a cold October rain, the drops don't even feel like water. They feel like shards of bone fallen from the skies of Hell to pock my face. I expect to arrive with my cheeks and forehead streaked with blood, but that's just an illusion, just the misery of nerves not designed for highway speeds. Despite this, it's hard to give up my motorcycle in the fall and I rush to get it on the road again in the spring; lapses of sanity like this are common among motorcyclists. When you let a motorcycle into your life you're changed forever. The letters "MC" are stamped on your driver's license right next to your sex and height as if "motorcycle" was just another of your physical characteristics, or maybe a mental condition. But when warm weather finally does come around all those cold snaps and rainstorms are paid in full because a motorcycle summer is worth any price. A motorcycle is not just a two-wheeled car; the difference between driving a car and climbing onto a motorcycle is the difference between watching TV and actually living your life. We spend all our time sealed in boxes and cars are just the rolling boxes that shuffle us languidly from home-box to work-box to store-box and back, the whole time entombed in stale air, temperature regulated, sound insulated, and smelling of carpets. On a motorcycle I know I'm alive. When I ride, even the familiar seems strange and glorious. The air has weight and substance as I push through it and its touch is as intimate as water to a swimmer. I feel the cool wells of air that pool under trees and the warm spokes of sunlight that fall through them. I can see everything in a sweeping 360 degrees, up, down and around, wider than PanaVision and higher than IMAX and unrestricted by ceiling or dashboard. Sometimes I even hear music. It's like hearing phantom telephones in the shower or false doorbells when vacuuming; the pattern-loving brain, seeking signals in the noise, raises acoustic ghosts out of the wind's roar. But on a motorcycle I hear whole songs: rock 'n roll, dark orchestras, women's voices, all hidden in the air and released by speed. At 30 miles an hour and up, smells become uncannily vivid. All the individual tree-smells and flower-smells and grass-smells flit by like chemical notes in a great plant symphony. Sometimes the smells evoke memories so strongly that it's as though the past hangs invisible in the air around me, wanting only the most casual of rumbling time machines to unlock it. A ride on a summer afternoon can border on the rapturous. The sheer volume and variety of stimuli is like a bath for my nervous system, an electrical massage for my brain, a systems check for my soul. It tears smiles out of me: a minute ago I was dour, depressed, apathetic, numb, but now, on two wheels, big, ragged, windy smiles flap against the side of my face, billowing out of me like air from a decompressing plane. Transportation is only a secondary function. A motorcycle is a joy machine. It's a machine of wonders, a metal bird, a motorized prosthetic. It's light and dark and shiny and dirty and warm and cold lapping over each other; it's a conduit of grace, it's a catalyst for bonding the gritty and the holy. I still think of myself as a motorcycle amateur, but by now I've had a handful of bikes over a half dozen years and slept under my share of bridges. I wouldn't trade one second of either the good times or the misery. Learning to ride was one of the best things I've done. Cars lie to us and tell us we're safe, powerful, and in control. The air-conditioning fans murmur empty assurances and whisper, "Sleep, sleep." Motorcycles tell us a more useful truth: we are small and exposed, and probably moving too fast for our own good, but that's no reason not to enjoy every minute of the ride.
  11. The wife agrees, we're gonna spend our free tax money on a Piggy Back! I think we wil enjoy that more than a wide screen TV...
  12. Anybody else watching the auction on the speed channel??? I just enjoy looking at those restorations..... Better than a car show....
  13. As requested by Road Kill, We (Diamond R Accessories) did carry a cooler rack. It was called Saddlemate by Cheyenne Trailers, I have one on my bike. We no longer carry those because they are no longer built, manufacturing cost and those sort of things made it to costly to make and sell. they are a great item I never take mine off. For those of you who did purchase one, hang on to it. enjoy the ride Allen & Patti
  14. This is a link to an interesting article and pictures about taking $1000 bikes on a 1000 mile ride. The author chose to take his 83 Venture. There are some very nice pictures available. Enjoy, RandyA http://www.pashnit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1751
  15. Some may know about this others may not, but NORAD tracks Santa on his travels here's the link so the little ones can be sure to be in bed before he gets there. http://www.noradsanta.org/en/home.htm Enjoy! Some of our family has already been visited by Santa. Margaret
  16. Ok we woke this morning with almost a foot of snow and both of us having the day off so what else could we do but go out and have fun.....I hear that doing donuts is even better in the snow. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!! We already have and now were inside warming up Jessie and Jackhttp://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z157/jackjess4/th_snowfun006.jpg This is Jack and our oldest daughter Becky
  17. I have just learned of the passing of Robert "Evel" Knievel, on Friday 30 Nov 07. I remember as a very young boy, watching his stunts with awe, and developing a keen interest in motorcycles. I may not have tried his stunts, but I do enjoy the machines that he sparked my love of. http://www.evelknievel.com/
  18. Thought ya'll would enjoy this. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAckfn8yiAQ]YouTube - Christmas With a Capital "C"[/ame] Merry Christmas
  19. :rotfl:For those of you who are sick of getting emails that tell you to forward it to at least X number of people in the next 15 minutes so that wonderful things and miracles will happen if you do, or there will be serious consequences if you don't, then you will enjoy this. Make sure your volume is on, this is great. This is hilarious! (and it's ABOUT TIME someone did this!) http://info.org.il/irrelevant/may02-smilepop-soapbox4.swf :rotfl:
  20. Well I finally got the Trike painted and put back together. Just need to add chrome molding around wheel well. Here are a few pictures. Hope you enjoy!
  21. Northern California Coast... Hwy 101 "Avenue of the Giants". Check out http://www.aveofthegiants.com/ This road is a spectaular look into an ancient redwood forest. The road winds ever so gracefully for about 30 miles with lots of little "burgs" along the way to stop and "refresh" yourself or sut to stretch and enjoy the beauty. It is really hard to describe the feeling you get riding through this forest other than to say you feel really... small. Was there late last summer...crowds were gone and the pavement was in great shape too. SW Washington Highway 25 and 99 from Swift Washington up to the Windy Ridge Observatory at Mt. St. Helens. http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/04maps/files/mshrec.jpg Again...what can I say...Mt. St. Helens is a must see but to avoid the crowds and get into some really good riding check out the east side of the park. I rode up there last fall and what a sight...a little chilly late in the season but wow!!! Again, the rode less travelled and the pavement was in great shape. Excellent access if you head south to the Columbia Gorge too...but that is totally different write-up. Enjoy the ride wherever it takes you...just RIDE!!! G

    Estes Park

    We made this trek this summer- an absolutely unforgetable ride. Hwy 34 East out of loveland/Ft Collins area. Make the trip in the AM so you can enjoy the climb and decent. The mountains tend to cloud up and give late afternoon showers.
  23. VentureRider.Org was started on July 21st, 2004. The object of this site is very simple. To bring together folks who enjoy friendly discussion of the Yamaha Venture, Venture Royale, Royal Star Venture and Royal Star motorcycles. What started as a very small group of owners has become the most active site on the Internet dedicated to these bikes. Though most of us share a passion for these particular bikes, we welcome all riders who enjoy the company of a friendly community of riders who have a desire to lend a hand when needed, share a cold drink when possible and simply enjoy the company of other riders. On August 15th 2006 there was a major server crash and we lost two years worth of messages and member information. At that time, we had over 3600 folks registered here. After a total rebuild of the site, the numbers are still coming back and the great technical information lost is being reposted as we continue on. This is a very informal group. We don't feel the need for a lot of club officers, rules, regulations. We do have some basic guidelines for our organization though. These are guidelines that the majority of the members reached a consensus on long ago. Edited by V7Goose: The original intent of the founding members was that this site is, always has been and always will be free to all. Don Nelson, Freebird, spends almost unimaginable time and effort personally creating and maintaining this site for the benefit of all members, and for five years he personally covered 100% of the costs for software, hosting, bandwidth, etc. A few members donated to Don in an effort to help out, but they were only a small percentage of the members here. In 2009, Don and his family were beset by some unexpected health issues and large medical expenses that forced him to make some hard decisions about continuing to spend his own money on this site. As a result, the members here were quite vocal that we needed to implement some form of membership fee so that those of us who enjoy this site would all begin to share in the cost. At this time, the forums are open to all to read but registration is required for posting a new message or replying to an existing message. Registration is just $12/year, is easy to do and helps to protect us against spam. Just as important is the fact that this site is PG rated. There are a lot of sites on the Internet where people can look at pornographic materials, use vulgar language, etc. We do not need that here. By keeping this site PG rated we are able to reach a wide range of people. Please respect this simple guideline when posting here. Although we do not have many rules, keeping the PG rating in all things would be Rule #1. We have also tried to keep political discussions to a minimum here. Many people have very strong political opinions, including me. Again, there are a lot of places on the Internet to discuss politics and I've never seen any good from mixing politics with motorcycle discussion. What starts off as a rational discussion always seems to turn into a heated debate and it usually gets personal before it ends. All of the same things can be said for religious discussions. Rule #2 would be that politics and religion are two subjects that will not be tolerated. The last rule, Rule #3, is that all discussions need to remain civil. That is not to say that we do not expect disagreements, and even some "lively" discussions where it is clear that opinions are held strongly by some individuals. It does mean that personal attacks and insults are not acceptable. Our primary focus here is motorcycles, motorcycle touring, technical discussion, etc. This site would get pretty boring though if no other discussion was allowed. We have become much more than a website here. We have become friends and many of us have met in person as well as here on the site. It was the motorcycles that brought us together but it's the friendships that keep us together. As in face to face meetings, conversations other than motorcycles will often come up. We have specific areas for just that type of discussion and we encourage folks to please try to post in the appropriate areas. If a mistake is made and something is posted in the wrong area...it's no big deal...we will either overlook it or move it. The main thing folks is that this site should be not only helpful but fun as well. I hope that we all remember that first and foremost, we are friends. This is the kindest and most considerate bunch of folks I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. There are no cliques here and no secret groups within our group. If you are new here, simply introduce yourself and you will be warmly welcomed.
  24. Clicky on linky.... http://www.booger-hill.com/ Great roads and scenery. Be careful can be very challenging! enjoy! mrod.
