Okay folks, the time is quickly winding down to the International Rally. And to be quite blunt about it, the sale of the raffle tickets for the trailer has been less than encouraging. We need to raise at least $1,000.00 to be able to purchase the trailer. And the ticket sales are no where near that right now. I know money is a bit tight this year, but if you are planning on purchasing raffle tickets, Please do so at your earliest convenience. If we can not sell enough tickets, the planning committee will need to make other arrangements for the grand prize.

Ball Studs for Side covers
frankd posted a topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I contacted Russel Hicks and he does not have any ball studs, plus he is real busy at work right now so he isn't planning on ordering any. If anybody else needs a couple, let me know and I can order some extras. Or if somebody else is planning on ordering them from McMaster-Carr, let me know and I can have you add mine to the order. My E-mail is ka9j2003@yahoo.com Frank D. -

In june I am planning to ride north on US 41 to the Terre Haute area, then possibly take US 40 east to US 231 and head south to Owensboro, Ky. I have a few days available for this trip. I have heard riding this part of Indiana is a good ride. I would appreciate any input as to places that are must see, places to eat, roads to ride, etc. Also, anything to avoid such as traffic, construction, etc. Thanks. Bill

I am not being nosey! Just wondered where every one is planning on riding to this summer. I know where I want to travel; I am never sure if it will happen or not. I want to go the Smokies again, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and probably down in Kentucky to take some of the distillery tours. I also would love to go to some Blue Grass Festivals. Of course, to Freebird's MD. Yama Mama

just, want to remind people to get your registration in as soon as you can for the 09 rally. it will be most helpful so we can get a count on the folks attending, and ordering tshirts, patches, and the name buttons that cindy is making. as far as an up date no major happenings. the committee will be getting together soon to finish up the planning. glad we got an early start. lots of neat things going on. i think we got the worst part of the planning behind us. looking forward to the riding season and you all be careful we want to see you at the hub. snarley bill

Okay all. I posted a while back that I am retiring August 1 this year and am going out on a 30 day ride. I'll leave Northern Va. and my plan is to head north into Canada and stay off interstates as much as possible. Does anyone here have any favorite trip planning tool they have had good success with. Especially for someone who tends to be less than patient anf less than a net expert. Any advice would be appreciated. I did find the Harley Davidson Trip Planner someone on here recommended and will look at it as well. Thanks

got a couple of requests from the members. since the riding season is approaching. i need to ask the members to first start thinking about registering for the international rally, so cinderella can get the orders together for the t-shirts, and since she has graciously took on the task of making the name buttons, so she doesn't get backed up on that. we will also have to let the hub know about what to expect so they can figure the food for the big dinner which they are catering. i also would like to get a rough count for the attendees for my st. charles meet in may, so i can figure the food etc. not trying to pressure anyone, cuz i know the economy is affecting many of us. but if you have an idea that you are planning on comming please let us know. thanks, bill ,and the planning committee.

Well, after my trip to Oregon and Glacier NP ride last year I'm planning on Alaska for the summer of 09. Thinking of going back to Glacier NP, to Banff and up the rockies to Dawson Creek and then the Alaskan highway to Fairbanks. From there to the Arctic circle and back again. I've read a couple of ride reports of people doing it on their Goldwings, so I figure my RSTD can do it fine. Anybody else taken this trip? I'm planning on picking up the Milepost this year to start planning. I need to make the round trip in less than 20 days, so I'm a little concerned about the timing of everything.

i know you all are getting tired of my 09 up dates, but we have been getting alot of pm's from members asking good questions. so rather than answer each one individually, i thought i would just put their questions and my answers out there for all the members. the latest question is what kind of events do we have scheduled. here is what we have so far. lots of planned and mapped out group rides. biker skill games, vendors on site, plenty of food including a catered final meal followed by a party still in the planning, just added today by yours truly, a 4 hour maintenence morning for the guys to talk tech and work on each others bikes with coffee and donuts. the gals that get up that early can come to. it will be from 6am, to 10 am. one day. this is what we have so far. we are still open for suggestions. please register as soon as possible to help us figure on the attendees, and make it easier for cindy to figure on the tshirts, rosebud on the name tags, and i can keep the hub up to date on how many they will have to provide food for. we are way ahead on planning this meet and i want to keep it that way so we can make it picture perfect. thanks to all the members who have made good suggestions, and offered their help in the planning. what a great bunch of members we have. snarley bill :clap2:

Wife and I are planning a ride out to Ft. Davis, TX. We want to head in a new direction and see things we haven't seen 5 times. We're planning on driving out on a friday afternoon and coming back Sunday, so it's going to be a quick trip. Just long enough to soak up the scenery for a day and head back the next. We will be riding mostly but there are some real nice mountan-ish roads out there (looks like) and some places here and there to stop and cork-off. Does anyone have any recomendations on any B & B or hotel/motels around that area? Any advice on roadways to see or avoid would be much appreciated too! Will be posting pics and review when we get back, too. Thanks! -

A couple of us are riding from Toronto, Ont to Nova Scotia next Friday. We are planning to take most of the way there through the US. Once into Vermont, we are planning roughly the following route:#11 south to just north of Burlington Vt then #15 east joining #2 around St Johnsbury following it through NH into Maine all the way to Bangor then #9 into New Brunswick. We hope this is a fairly senic reasonably quick route without getting onto the interstates or major highways for too long. Can anyone from these areas comment on these roads, the conditions we may expect or anything we need to be cautious about during the trip. (ie construction, closures etc.) Do not expect there will be but just thought I would ask the question to be sure. Thanks for any help or comments you are able to provide. Robert

Ronda and I are planning a trip in late September and early October. We plan on heading out to Yosemite National Park, then working our way up the coast to Seattle before making our way home. One of the places that we want to see is a beach that we saw on the Travel Channel several years ago. It is a beach with massive pillars of rocks and tidal pools that of course is only accessible when the tide is out. I think it is on the coast of Oregon, but it could be Washington. With all of our members, surely someone knows the place. Thanks

On an earlier thread I posted that I had bought an 84 VR off Ebay from a fellow member. Now I'm weighing options on how to get the bike from Central PA to Atl, Ga. And I was wondering if any members from that area were planning a trip south by cage and would consider picking the bike up and towing it south. Of course I would offset thier travel expenses by paying them for thier time and trouble. I would also be glad to meet them down south closer to Atlanta if they were not planning to come to or through Atlanta. Any takers?

Hubby asked if I would jump on the website (we don't have internet at home) and find out from you guys if wiring from the Venture (tail lights and blinkers)to a new carrier he's made that sits behind the bike is easy or if he needs to do anything special. I'm not sure what thread I'm looking for about wiring. He's planning on doing it tonight so any help would be appreciated!

So now that I have all my ducks in a row finally, and am ready to ride, how's everyone else planning on scooting over to see Don on his great day? Time, maybe, to do some organizing and planning. I thought about doing something different this year and take the Peelee Island ferry, but that turns out to be a 7 hour total trip with the cost of $44.00 per scoot and rider, plus the passenger, one way. Sounds a bit expensive and they won't let you ride while on the ferry. So looks like what we did last year sounds like fun again, but I would hire a less expensive place to sleep, rather than the Comfort Inn at over $100.00 just to close my eyes.

By now most of you know the Lewis and Charlene are taking a well deserved break next year. I think they've earned a break, these events are stressful to put together plus the fact that Charlene got hurt this year was tough on Lewis. So Jeff and I decided to put something together for a replacement for next year. Now I need to know how many are interested in going. I'll have to start making some of the arrangements now. We are going to have it in Asheville NC. I'm planning on setting it up through Asheville East KOA. These are the breakdowns price wise for staying: RV sites $25 - $35, Tent sites $22 - $29, Kabins $30 - $70, Kottage-Lodge $90 - $125 They have the kottage lodges with bathrooms. All the kabins and kottages have ac. They have wifi as well as data ports available. If I set this up through KOA they recommend you start large gathering plans about a year in advance. So if you all would let me know if you're interested I can get started. I've already checked out stuff to do in the area, and ladies you'll like the fact that they have a craft place where you can buy the stuff they make. Not sure what exactly we'll do when we get there it's still in the early stages of planning. I'm not planning a ride to the dragon, but I'm sure if you want to go someone would be willing to get you there. Here's a link to the website to give you an idea of what it's like there. http://www.koa.com/where/nc/33116/facilities/ I've been to this KOA and they are very biker friendly. So let me know what you all think. Margaret

Ok I have a question on Paint. I have been reading the treads on here and other sites about Painting. But what is the difference in urethane, lacquer, and enamel? Still don't get it. What kind do you use when repainting a RSV? Need to do some plastice repair on trunk. What is the best way to do this? Please help guys. Want to try and do some of this work myself. Also Planning some special painting on the bike in different colors. Hope to be able to paint myself. What can you get for that kind of painting (picture) paints? Would model car type paint work? Just a thought than Clear coat over it. Help!
