flb_78 Posted October 17, 2009 #76 Posted October 17, 2009 There ain't crap in Claude, TX and it's a dry county.
Jerry W Posted October 17, 2009 Author #77 Posted October 17, 2009 Man, you got close to here. It is about 50 miles from Claude to Borger. If you have any trouble finding me, my cell is 806 674 6346.
LilBeaver Posted October 17, 2009 #78 Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Lookin' forward to meeting everyone tomorrow (and seeing the clutch install in action as well as the gauges ; not to mention getting this silly bolt out) I'll plan on getting up there sometime between 12 and 1 (I'll be hitting the road between 9 and 10 and I am anticipating about a 3 hr drive). See ya'll tomorrow! Edited October 17, 2009 by LilBeaver Change in plan....
flb_78 Posted October 18, 2009 #79 Posted October 18, 2009 What the hell? It's been over 2 hours now!! Where's the pics!!!!
LilBeaver Posted October 18, 2009 #80 Posted October 18, 2009 Pulled in my garage just after 10:00pm. Just wanted to say thanks to all that came (and ponch for helping me out with that silly bolt) and especially Jerry for hosting this. Great to meet everyone in person I have attached a few pictures... This is why I was late
Jerry W Posted October 18, 2009 Author #81 Posted October 18, 2009 What the hell? It's been over 2 hours now!! Where's the pics!!!! Beats me, this site won't let me download pics. I can download them other places, but not here.
Silver Bullet Posted October 18, 2009 #82 Posted October 18, 2009 jerry , it was very good to meet all the guys and ladys. the work was fun and the food grrrrrrrreat! I hope me and my foot did'nt get in the way... thanks for having us... jack.
Jerry W Posted October 18, 2009 Author #83 Posted October 18, 2009 Jack, Thanks for comming over. It was great to have you and the others. You were a great help, thanks for bringing Bokefus and his dad over with you. I may do this again next spring at the start of riding season and we can carb tune bikes, change oil etc to get the riding season started. Thanks again for comming over.
flb_78 Posted October 18, 2009 #84 Posted October 18, 2009 Here's 2 pics of Jerry's bike being equipped with Ponch's gauge setup which is friggin' SWEET!!!
Squidley Posted October 19, 2009 #86 Posted October 19, 2009 Wish we could have been down there with you folks, Wednesday is Dday and we'll work on making the next one That old Ponch is pretty handy isn't he
Jerry W Posted October 19, 2009 Author #87 Posted October 19, 2009 Wish we could have been down there with you folks, Wednesday is Dday and we'll work on making the next one That old Ponch is pretty handy isn't he Ponch is handy as a pocket on a shirt! He is an awesome guy. It is still hard to believe he and Gunboat rode over 600 miles up here to attend a 1 day maintenance day to work on other folks bikes. The gauge cluster Ponch puts together is also pretty neat. Silver Bullet (Jack Wallace) gave some expert instruction on the clutch upgrade for Ponch's bike. Ponch also removed a stripped bolt from Lil Beaver's gas tank bolt. It was a really successful day, I would kinda' like to make this a yearly thing. Thanks again to the folks who showed up and made it a success.
gunboat Posted October 19, 2009 #88 Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) hi jerry w made it home at 8:30 pm. ( just fired up the hot tub & made a pot of coffee) after making a short pit stop at my buddy's house in huntsville. just in time for some hot tex-mex soup. i had a GREAT TIME, thanks for the invite. could not have had better weather, a better co-rider, almost made an iron butt ride. i know ponch & i could have made it before dark. thanks to everyone, was great to meet & hang out more of this VENTURE FAMILY. flb_78 forrest lilbever rick silver bullet jack bokefus keith & dad ron please forgive me if i missed anyone. last but not least the cook and family. man that cheese dip was allsome. i know have a new dish to try on the SOURTHEN BUNCH. and again thanks to you & ms.picella for everything. bike ran like a dream, 75-80 mph most of the way up and back. JACK thanks for the use of your tools, sorry about the 12mm wrench being left behind. gave it to forrest, he promised to give it to you. peach to all & best reguards don c. Edited October 19, 2009 by gunboat
Ponch Posted October 19, 2009 #89 Posted October 19, 2009 Got back about 7:00 Sunday night. 1268 miles total. Great weather going and coming. A little cool for this So TX boy (Forrest laughed at me for wearing two jackets when the sun went down). Imagine that. Thanks to Jerry for hosting this, Priscilla for putting up with us and Shawn (Jerry's neighbor) who smoked some darn good Pork Loin & cheese. Gunboat & I had a great ride and only saw a few deer. Thanks Jack (Silver Bullet) for the insight into the clutch upgrade & Basket change details. Rick made the broken bolt removal easy by pre-drilling a pilot hole dead center in the bolt. He even brought a real good cordless drill (I meant to relieve him of it, but I forgot). He even had a set of reverse twist drill bits. I just drilled the bolt out in reverse and when it got through the weld nut, the bolt came out while I was drilling. It was great to meet everyone. Especially Forrest (FLB) who can throw a Venture around like it was a 300lb dirt bike, which he did several times. Here's my pics. Ponch
Guest tx2sturgis Posted October 19, 2009 #90 Posted October 19, 2009 Sorry I missed it guys, but had other conflicts...maybe next year. Looks like fun was had by all!
Jerry W Posted July 25, 2010 Author #93 Posted July 25, 2010 Looking at it, might try to put one together in September. It turned out pretty good last year. Ponch and Gunboat rode up from the Houston area.
gunboat Posted July 25, 2010 #94 Posted July 25, 2010 hi jerry you never know about any of the houston bunch, where we will show up next. had a great time at your place last year. reguards don c.
Jerry W Posted July 25, 2010 Author #95 Posted July 25, 2010 I know that's right. Let me know when you're gonna' be off in case you want to make it and I will match your schedule. I am off every weekend.
gunboat Posted July 25, 2010 #96 Posted July 25, 2010 jerry i am off every weekend as of right now. you plan it and i'll be there. reguards don c.
LilBeaver Posted July 25, 2010 #97 Posted July 25, 2010 Is it gonna happen again this year? Another MD for you to not come to, eh? :stickpoke: Jerry: I'll most likely show up too... I may or may not require any actual maintenance at the time, but I like to think I make a good supervisor.
Guest tx2sturgis Posted July 25, 2010 #98 Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) Another MD for you to not come to, eh? :stickpoke: Hey...I like to keep my perfect record up ya know...but it could happen! Jerry: I'll most likely show up too... I may or may not require any actual maintenance at the time, but I like to think I make a good supervisor. Jerry, if you have any cyclotrons with wonky beam generators, he's your man! Edited July 25, 2010 by tx2sturgis
