Okay folks, maybe ya'll can help. I know it's not a Venture but I gotta crawl before I walk so here goes.......... My V-Star quit running last summer. Took it in to a bike mechanic, says the CDI unit went out. Finally replaced that a few weeks ago. Still won't start. Have had ppl tinkering to avoid having to take it up to Fargo and get raped for a simple job. The latest is it has no spark but it's arcing somewhere like where the seat goes but Bones (Tinkerer #3) can't find where. He's more of a motor man than an electrical man. I just know it's something so simple that a guy could look it up and bam there's the problem and it's an easy fix. I just haven't found that right guy. Just for taking the tank off Fargo would charge like an hour labor and it took Bones 3 minutes to get it off so you see my problem. Gawd do I wish it was Labor Day W'end and I was at Pork in the Pines and my bike was the pity bike! But it's May and it's riding time, and gas is through the friggin roof and more importantly, I've got the itch dammit, I wanna ride! I know ya can't fix a bike without it in front of ya so suggestions are all I'm asking for. H E L P ! Brandi

Okay, now that I'm all settled in I can get down to business! Let me get the sad news out of the way first. I lost my farm. It was heart wrenching at first cuz I loved that place and it was hard to walk away. I've had the place for almost 5 years and haven't done a thing with it except install a new furnace. Upkeep on a 1924 farmhouse, well lets just say a bulldozer would've been the best option! My neighbor that farms the land surrounding it got the place and for the most part he'll do exactly that with the exception of a couple of buildings. I moved about 22 miles NE of where the farm was, to Barnesville, MN, for a couple of reasons. I signed on with a couple different companies after I left my job in the cities, the last one being in Wahpeton, ND about 12 miles from the farm. I ended my season with them in November but I'm checking into a couple of companies in Fargo, ND. Just haven't quite found that "right" company yet so I'll go back to Wahpeton until I get a call from Fargo. Barnesville puts me closer to Fargo so that helps. Second/main reason I chose B'ville is because this past July I met someone, while on sort of a date mind you, that turned my life around. His name is Jimmy but everyone calls him Crow. The guy literally swept me off my feet. Which by the way have yet to touch the ground! He's been a Godsend through all my struggles, he cherishes me in his life and I've never been this happy. Moving to Barnesville actually became the icing on the cake so to speak so within that sad chapter in my life, it's actually turned out to be for the best. My children (24 & 18) moved to B'ville as well. A feat I never thought I'd be able to accomplish. Being born & raised in the cities and being that young, into the nightlife and all, country life wasn't their bag. At least so I thought. I mentioned it in passing and in less than a month later up they came! My daughter has been here a month and she's loving it. She decided to move for her kids, better upbringing, surroundings, etc. My son just wanted to be close to his Momma! So I've got my kids, my grandkids, my man, what else can I ask for! Oh yeah............ A BIKE THAT RUNS! Did I just start venting a little? Yep, I did. Sorry! My CDI unit went out last year in like July so my riding season was short. Couldn't afford a new part, didn't want to put in a used part to have to buy another one so I waited til tax time to get a new part. Good thing I waited. Initially a new one priced out at around $400. I paid $286 for a new one through Seattle Sports online! 10-15 minute fix and a new battery (she's dead, I mean DEAD!) and she'll be running again. So now that I've put everyone to sleep.... errr.... I mean caught everybody up I'll sign off for now. Thanks for the well wishes and the hang in theres' from a select few, greatly appreciated. Gary? And all the rest of the MN folks? Sorry I missed P-i-t-P. Don't know for sure about this year yet, it'll depend on who I'm working for. Good to know when the lil sheep gets lost, you're always welcomed back into the fold. God bless, Brandi P.S. The attachments are of Jimmy & of my latest Tattoo. Long story short....... I'm into Fairies. Jimmy's nickname is Crow. Folks call me "Crow's Nest" He asked me to protect his heart when we got together. Here's one way of promising that I will. The fairy (me) is in the nest laying over (his) heart to protect it and the crow (Jimmy) is bringing me a rose. :sign isnt that specMushy mushy mushy I know............ Oh yeah, and the bra? Don't even ask!
