I have sound effects as well, even when I'm not moving. Funny how that happens. Marca is not often impressed. I keep telling her that the sound effects are for the benefit of those that might have missed the other attributes.

My sound effects are different though. I sound more like Rice Krispies when I’m moving.

around 2007, when I bought my 07 venture. some of the members of Star 297 Ft. Lauderdale told me about it.

I made the mistake of hosting the wife’s family dinner, a very small group. I seem to only be able to cook like it’s my family (35-40 people). There’s enough left over for a Venture rally supper. Now we get to go Saturday for the big one, at least we can leave the leftovers at my brother’s house.

Late reply here....my wife and I travelled down that way through a short section of Skyline Drive in early October. The Blue Ridge Parkway was closed at that time due to the hurricane damage. The section we travelled was beautiful that time of the year. We came across Hwy 250 from the 219. Hwy 250 from Huttonsville to Staunton WV looks fairly straight on a map...Wrong. It was a beautiful twisty road with breath taking scenery. It was obvious to me afterwords that going over the mountains is going to be a little twisty and up and down. It was a challenging ride to say the least, all loaded up with my wife on the back. I'll bring the Venture next time, I think it would handle the twisties better. We made it to the Howard Johsons just after dark, which wasn't wise travelling in the dark as we noticed lots of deer appearing at dusk. Made it safely and there must have been 25 motorcyclist's staying at HoJo's. Most of those bikes were in the class of adventure touring, which seems to be a popular way to ride, especially through the mountains. It was a great ride and hope to do it again next year and this time travel south down the Blue Ridge Parkway. Mark

Well in that case, allow me to contribute... About a month after getting my RSV, I popped over a small hill to find a car stopped in my lane - facing me! Apparently it was easier for him to pull over to check his mailbox instead of pulling into the driveway and getting out of the car. I managed to avoid the car but hit the ditch. Shattered the collarbone into 5 pieces.
