Eck, I told Dale you were going to get a wing.....he was surprised you werent getting another rsv.

 

about an hour later he suddenly says,....."oh Eck on a Wing.....I guess he's old enough!"

 

 

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

 

 

Cindy,

Tell Dale Im gonna kick him in the shin next time I see him.

If I could get a little higher then he would really hurt, however, because of my age, he is lucky in that I cant kick that high...

 

 

 

 

Eck,

 

Pat and I will have to be there with our GW trike so your ride won't feel surrounded by all those. . . uh, other bikes.

 

Cool beans...Looking forward to seeing you and Pat. Great!!!

[YamaDuck]

a GW! Did you fall and hit your head or something? Oh wait you did that explains it. Alright everyone don't be to hard on Eck. After his head quits hurting and the swelling goes down so he can see clearly again he is going to feel bad enough when he realizes he ain't got a Venture:bang head:

 

But seriously Eck that is a beautiful Wing. What no air!:rotfl:

 

Hope to see you Sat.

[Freebird]

Beautiful bike Eck and one of my favorite colors. WOW...now not only do we have a Wing rider organizing our '09 VentureRider Rally but also one of our MODERATORS riding a Wing. What has the world come to.

Looks like I'm gonna run down with my Bride!! She's not too hot on going through Atlanta but figures if she's gonna worry about me, might as well be there to hit me upside the head (just kidding!!)

 

Anyway, be scooting down 85 from SC exit 19. Anybody else wants to meet up? Tentatively hitting 85 around 1330/1400 >> Atlanta about two hours later. Let me know. W./w.o. ph #

 

See you there Rocketman!

Congratulations Eck. Glad to see you back on two wheels again. Since a few members has moved over to Wings, I guess we needed some Wing Experience on this site too.

[Al Isbell]

Well, I kinda fiqured that was the direction you were going. Thats your bike though! Excellent timing to grab that one with all the extras on it. I think it will fit in perfect with our meet and eat rides. Heck that bike would even look good in the back of my Victory Lane Toyhauler. Take your time and build your confidence back up, and then lets GO!!! BRO. CU:Venture:

[DragonRider]

I just called Smokey Bones BBQ and warned them of a rowdy bunch of bikers coming tomorrow night...........Told them between 12-20........so when you show up tell them your a VentureRider...............thats who they are expecting..........See Ya'll there.

I’m selling because the bike just doesn’t fit my riding style.

I bought it and set it up to ride 2-up with a former girlfriend. I have only ridden it on occasion to keep it ready to go…..less than 100 miles in the last year.

It’s a shame to have such a well-equipped bike sitting in my garage when someone else can be enjoying it.

I KNOW I’ve forgotten some of what is included, and will update things as I remember them.

 

 

 

 

 

Eck,

 

Make sure you check the frame real good for cracks, esp. with trailer towing. Make sure the frame welds recall has been done. This is on the 2001 thru 2004 models, but it is a good idea to check all years on a periodic bases to make sure everything is copasedic ( did I spell that right ? ). You probably know about this but thought I would mention it.

[MidlifeVenture]

Is that there bike one of those with the fancy air bags I saw at the bike show? Or is that only on newer ones? http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/08/video-honda-gold-wing-airbag-in-action/

No bag on the 02 models, A model means ABS.

DragonRider,

I just stopped in Smokey Bones and spoke directly wiith th emanager "lee" and he will be setting up an area of tables just for us.

I told him there would be around 10 to 15, but not more than 20 and also told him that the folks will say they are from Venturerider.org , or looking for reservations made under the name "ECK".

My wife and I are in the Hampton Inn just down the street from Smokey Bones right now and I am useing thier computer in the lobby,
