  1. I have decided on a third wheel and have always liked the idea of a sidecar. Who still use one and what options for manufacturers do I have. I already have looked at Hannigan and Texas Sidecar. I am confused with Motorvations options list but will contact them soon.
  2. Just completed my 2nd attempt on the Iron Butt Ride Around Texas (3247miles)in under 85hours.. 1st attempt DNF last Oct when I hit a gear box in the road at night outside Dalhart, which took out my left side cowling, floorboard and shifter along with a smashed exhaust and hole in stator cover. This attempt I started in Galveston on Monday 9/5, finished yesterday 9/8 barely. 84hours and 20min. Didn't mean to cut it that close, lost some time up in north Texas with 2 problems with the Venture. One was a clogged fuel filter, changed out in a hotel parking lot in Nocona. 2nd problem was from my 2010 RAT attempt curse of the kickstand wiring that got cut off in the Dalhart debris hit. The stand wiring was re-wired. Had a problem with engine cutting off and on, about 6 months ago. So I decided to check the stand wiring again, didn't find anything wrong, just unplugged the connector and re-connected no more problems all the way back to Galveston. Did run out of gas in west Texas from El Paso to Guadalupe N.P. and then to Kermit. Even with my 3 gallon Aux tank, Bad planning on my part. Didn't consider fuel mileage going over 70 for 200 miles.Luckily I made it to a little town west of Kermit, but it was closed and only took cash. A very nice lady drove by who worked there and opened the store and let me fill up. Gave her a big tip. Lesson learned. Lots of night riding which not fond of anymore after hitting that debris last year. Seen deer, hogs, jack rabbits, cows in Big Bend, and lot's of smoke from the wildfires. Rode from Victoria to Harlingen and from Atlanta to Marshall with with fires burning right up to the road some places. Hard to breath and see. Didn't have any road detours which would have killed my chances on the last leg. Had 18 checkpoints along the way. attached pic of my Spot tracker showing my ride. Lots of other stories. Here are a few pics. Not much time for picture snapping on this ride. I am glad to have finished this time around. The Venture was fun to ride the whole trip. She got me home safe.
  3. I would like to buy a used Aluma MC-10 trailer. If anyone knows of one in the central Texas area, I sure would appreciate hearing about it...thanks in advance.
  4. Will they pass it off as lemonade?? http://www.news4jax.com/news/28799431/detail.html
  5. My sister living in Texas says it has been so dry they use this as a rain gauge.
  6. Guess there are somethings Don doesn't share with us. (pic taken in Selma Texas)
  7. I have one of the Venture Rider belt buckles and have been asked who made them. Can't remember who was taking those orders but since it's been a while, as well as before the last sites crash I think, I can't find a reference for them. I'm pretty sure it was someone in Texas but could be wrong there. Time for another group buy? Info anyone? Larry
  8. I plan on going this year time and money is right. Who ele from Texas is going, I woul like to ride up as a group. Lets make some plans!
  9. Hey folks- I purchased a roof cargo box from a gentleman today. It is near I30 and Beltline in Garland, Texas. I would like to impose on someone to pick it up and store it for me for a couple weeks. It is 55" by 35" by 15" tall. It weighs about 60 lbs. I am not in a particular hurry on this. It is going to be the basis for a cargo trailer. I am sending him a check tomorrow for a deposit. Once I figure out how to get it to San Antonio, I will send him the balance. Thanks for looking JB

  18. If you have managed to get a Texas non-CDL class A license, I would like to know which agency you dealt with....which county or facility. I have a buddy who has bought a truck for personal use and is having some trouble with the local clueless DPS office. So...if you have that non-CDL class A, which is actually required in Texas to drive a large motorhome pulling a heavy trailer, please let me know. Thanks.
  19. This man from the Northeast moved to Texas when his company closed and relocated, and from the first he was struck by the prominence of state flags everywhere, and how Texans were constantly bragging about their history and culture. The northerner found his new Texas co-workers friendly as hell, far as that goes. From the start, in fact, they had invited him to join them each afternoon after work when they would have a few cold beers at a nearby bar. Still, they would rib him a lot with talk about The Alamo, San Jacinto, Travis, Bowie and Crockett, Hood's Texas Brigade... and yankee jokes of course. Anyway, after a few months or so, it got to irritating him and, finally, one Friday afternoon, the yankee lost his temper and cut in: "You damn Texans think you guys were created on Day One! There are heroes up where I come from too, you know," he rejoined. The Texans looked at each other, baffled a bit. "Like who?" one of the Lone Star boys finally asked. "Like Paul Revere, THAT'S WHO," the yankee replied smugly. After a bit more confusion among the Texans, one of them snapped his fingers in recognition of the name and replied: "Oh yeah! Wasn't he that feller who ran out of the house in the middle of the night hollerin' for help?"

  21. A Cowboy from Sweetwater, Texas walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the Loan Officer. He told the Loan Officer that he was going to Paris for an International Rodeo for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.00 and that he was not a depositor of this bank. The bank Officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Cowboy handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Cowboy produced the title and everything checked out. The Loan Officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge him a 12% interest. Later, the bank's President and it's officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Cowboy from Texas for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's private underground garage and parked it. Two weeks later, the Cowboy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The LoanOfficer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very well, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn and Bradstreet and found that you are a highly sophisticated investor and a multi millionaire with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweetwater Texas. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrrow $5,000?" The good ole' Texas boy replied, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?" Don't mess with TEXANS!
  22. Well, you folks in Texas are really going to put it to us this time...or so the weatherman says.....they have to blame somebody, right? They're guesstimating approximately 35 cm's in the next 24 hours.....well over a foot! How the heck is Wiarton Willie....Poughkeepsie Pete's cousin...ever going to see his shadow? This has been a real winter here in southern ontario....cold, cold, cold, more snow than the historical averages.....wow! I guess on the plus side...if it's coming from Texas....it's gonna be "warm" snow, right? gunk:doh:

  25. Somewhere in Texas A lady was telling her neighbor that she saw a man driving a pick-up truck down the interstate, and a dog was hanging onto the tailgate for dear life! She said if the pick-up truck driver hadn't been going so fast in the other direction, she would have tried to stop him. A few weeks later, her neighbor saw this truck at the local Bass Pro Shop. The pick-up truck driver is a local TEXAS taxidermist with a great sense of humor! Taxidermists are a twisted lot anyway! And, it's not a dog in the 1st Place ; it's a Coyote. Can you imagine how many people tried to stop this guy? http://f814.mail.yahoo.com/ya/download?mid=1%5f23907%5fAIXHjkQAAHWCTQWiAQynOxMY7EU&pid=2.2&fid=Inbox&inline=1
