:lightbulb::lightbulb::lightbulb::lightbulb::lightbulb: You DID IT @Condor,,, YOU are a GENIUS my brother!! You single handedly discovered the answer to that life long timeless question of "WHY DO WE RIDE?"!!!! The answer we have all been searching for = "TO ESCAPE OUR ACCUMULATION OF STUFF BACK HOME"!!!! :bikersmilie::7_2_104[1]:

WOW Boss,, isn't life just AMAZING = so much truth in that saying of "to live is the greatest adventure of all"!! I hope you know that Tip and I will be supporting you folks in both thought and prayer as you set out on this great move!! WHAT A RIOT!! When I was just a little varmint I remember the sites, smells (seriously, I LOVED the smells) and sounds of bike shops.. I always LOVED the joints and always knew deep in my heart of hearts that someday,, somehow I was gonna end up owning and operating a full blown shop of my own = as President Trump mentioned in his recent awesome SOTU address = American's are dreamers too and owning a bike shop of my own was my dream.. Throughout the years of working in shops and in The Trades as a Welder the rush of the smell's and sounds of bike shops never left me,, the passion grew.. Tip and I would talk for hours about The Dream and, even though she chose to stay home and home school our children and knew I would never ever relax in my responsibilities of providing financially for my family - she always encouraged me in someday seeing the fulfillment of The Dream.. As time went on and we, as a family became more secure,, I felt the calling even stronger.. I had friends who attempted self employment and failed due to not understanding business and,, as @FlyingFool pointed out - they had no idea of management = COMMON MISTAKE.. I had a very successful business mentor during those days who strongly suggested my return to College to gain business knowledge - with 4 kids, a wife and a home to support - I took advantage of night classes at our local 2 year Community college - finished my Associates Degree and went on to a University to complete my Bachelors Degree (2 of them,, one in Management and the other in Marketing) = finished at 44 years old!! Got scarfed up by a big company shortly there after, took my Plant Superintendent sign on bonus and opened my shop.. Few years later as business grew = stepped out completely into The Dream - never looked back = BEST years of our lifes!! Besides being blessed with a few very good employees (no one will run your business like you do though), I got to have my kids work for me too cause child labor laws dont apply to family businesss LOL .. One of them who is a Medical Doctor out in California now will openly say that she got her start in the Medical field by doing carbs for her Dad at "the shop" = true.. Now,, because of some continual medical stuff,, those day are behind us.. I did learn some things though that may or may not be of use for you.. 1. If what your doing is a passion and you either have good management skills or are willing to listen to the counsel of those that do = it is fairly hard to not succeed.. Unlike working for someone else = self employment is 24/7 though,,, no time clock mentality allowed though.. 2. Customers are amazing people!! My customers were always an extension of my passion for bike shops and motorcycling... Helping people can be wayyy more rewarding than $$ for time.. 3. Just because tax write off's are there and they increase your short term profitability does not mean that its prudent to take them.. Paying the taxes on a large income for a couple years can greatly increase your Monthly Social Security amount when that day/time arrives.. Setting up your business as an LLC and working with your spouse as staff members can be a great way to protect and also be very lucrative for your estate.. Given,, working for your wife after she becomes "President of Operations" can be an exciting adventure in itself = it truly is not that bad!!! 4. The freedom that comes with the fulfillment of The American Dream can be endlessly rewarding (and it should be).. Little things like just the opportunity to now be the one to choose whether or not you and your wife will both be attending trade shows or out chasing prospects while CTFW is AMAZING!! I LOVE what being my own boss did in my/our lives and the quality therein.. I found that the only only limit to accessing and realizing that Freedom was that of my own personal motivation.. I guess what I am saying by that is that, at least from my perspective, unlike in socialist countries or other environments where we are cared for, fulfillment of "The Dream" I am talking about depends totally on you - no one else,, it's an independence thing.. Lack of accepting personal responsibility or lack of motivation to succeed is the cause of failure - nobody is gonna do it for you and you only get out what you put in = the buck truly stops with you.. Bottom line brother,, I am VERY happy for you and excited for you because I know how from observation just how motivated you are and how much fun you and Eileen are headed for!! WOW, this is AWESOME Don = congrats my friend!!! JUST AWESOME!!

If you would jump on Tinker this summer and scoot up here to Michigan for one of our VR Hot Dog extravaganzas where Ventures roam freely and Hot Dogs are an endangered species,, I would GLADLY demonstrate how true that statement right there is Snype!!!!

Just read your P.M. in my email a moment ago Zzz and gonna answer it here in case others are following along = dont wanna confuse anyone (I am the sort that has no problem doing that).. After trying many different products to repair those diaphrams, thru trial and error I found YamaBond#5 to be the most useful and have ran many thousands of miles now on repaired with YamaBond diaphrams.. The Yamabond is not perfect though.. A number of years ago we were out playing in the mountains of Utah and one of my 1st Gens ended up on its side and we ended up having to roll it all the way over to get it upright (these things are way to heavy to lift uphill with).. As a result,, among other things, I crushed my right saddle bag and ended up binder twineing it back together and coating it with RV silicon sealant.. Last year on the way home from Americade the three of us ran into some of the heaviest rains we have ever ridden in out in N.Y... I am one of those who speed up in the rain to stay dry and in so doing we hit flood water so hard out near Speculator NY that the impact of the water actually nocked Tip's feet off Tweeks pegs.. The next day we were getting gas and I noticed a steady stream of fluid leaking from Tweeks Maintenance Dept. (right bag - the patched one).. After tasting the water to make sure someone hadnt remounted Tweeks radiator inside that bag and it had sprung a leak, I told Tip that I thought my old roll over patch had finally let go and that Tweeks Maintenance Dept. was flooded out from the previous nights excursion.. I open it up and sure enough,, there was a wide open 2x3 inch hole making me thankful that I keep most of Tweeks tools safely lodged inside of a tote bag in there (ironically, even that weather proof bag was leaking water).. Being not impressed with what I found with the RV silly cone patch and a sort of an adventuresome sole,, I set forth to locate a better roll over repair product.. Gonna sound nuts here but I actually found the E6000 at our local Meijers grocery store!!! I was impressed with what I read on the tube so I decided to give it a shot.. WOW was I impressed (as shown in the vid).. It was after the patch on the bag that it dawned on me that the stuff may very well be the next step in quality Diaphram repair - possibly even to the point of actually molding a whole new diaphram around an existing old one (I am one cheap varmint). As shown in the vid, I LIKED what I saw in the one little repair I did BUT = I still have NOT tested the final product in the gas soaked area where the diaphram resides.. Zzz,, your slide assemblies are on their way and should be there by Monday.. Dont worry about $$'s,, glad I could help and hopefully the parts somehow do just that.. I would ask though that if you do follow-up on the E6000 experiment that you report back here with how it all works out and how the product holds up.. I, for one, would be VERY INTERESTED in knowing what you find out!! By the way,, if memory serves me correctly,,, videoarizona commented about that E6000 back when I posted that video for Bongo and mentioned something about using a LOT of that product years ago (I think it was in road construction or something) and supported the thought that the stuff was really amazing!! Hope it all works out and all us of gain yet another little more insite into ways to keep these amazing machines out CTFW if you decide to attempt an E6000 diaphram rebuild!! Puc ,, what da heck brother,, your either Phycic or your hooked into our EchoDot machine and friends with Alexa or something?? As crazy as this may sound,,, Tip is a endlessly marvelous Menards rebate couponder and Menards had some AWESOME precision screw driver kits for $5 after rebate (AMAZING little set!! you should check it out if you have time Stang!!) that was hanging not to far from a freezer full of precooked, BBQed pork ribs... WOWZY were those ribs calling my name... Of course,, a package of those ribs followed us home and of course,, they ended up resmothered in some sweet n tangy Hawian BBQ and getting the quick over under the broiler by Tip (she spoils me something rottin)... Now get this,, just this morning with my breakfast eggs that Tippy pulled one of those little bags of Baby Back Ribs double SOAKED in BBQ sauce out of the freezer and they ended up on my plate!!! Little by little,, getting the weight back on!!!!!! DEFINITELY headed in the right direction !!!!!!!!!!

:scared:OUTSTANDING @VentureFar!!!!! :dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::clap2::clap2: Man,,, you don't Monkey around (inside joke ) when it comes to jumping right in and taking off on a new scoot!! GOTTA LOVE YA MY BROTHER!! Can not WAIT to read your take on the 'Luder... For those who cant read here,,, lots and lots of 's would also be GREATLY appreciated (actually,, as you all to well know,, your buddy here in Michigan is the main culprit always beggin for 's).. This will be awesome!! Ride safe and do us proud Neil!! P.S. = please tell that awesome neighbor of yours THANK YOU again!! JUST FLAT OUT AWESOME!!

Oh man,,, Prayers Up my Texas Hero brother!!! Will be lifting you and your family up with thoughts and prayers while your out pounding the pavement ISO of a new job John.. Always thought it was easier to find work when working = even flipping hamburgers or doing volunteer work looks better than "unemployed" to a lot of Managers.. Just a thought,, hope the search is short lived:fingers-crossed-emo!!! GO GET EM BIKERJOHN!!!!

Shotgun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

,,, if I had me a great big gorgeous scoot like that I would ride it till the tires fell off,, stop and spoon on another set and do it all over again!! That there is one purdy machine - little bit tuning and preppin and she would be ready to earn some stickers IMHO!! Congrats Doc,, glad it all worked out!! Puc

900 pounds of Venture vs 6 ounces of tent fabric! :witch_brew:= look out campers,, YammerDan's got a piece of dirt in his eye and his scoot is using the force to locate its camping spot!!! Would LOVE to make this one!!! Tip has yet to do one of Don's MD's, Tweeksis has some new stickers to show off and I got some fresh scars to compete with Yammer Dans scars, a score to settle with Frosty, a BRAND NEW tent to break in AND I still think I can easily one up Carl in the huggin contest....

They are not perfect but should get cha by.. I know I would find a way to use em longggg before I would pay more for parts than I usually spend on my actual bike purchase Anyway,, the pics are what I have and the vid is what I was gonna use em for (the one I have in the vid is in the Maintenance Dept. on Tweeks side and still has not been tested in fuel) = good ol fashioned science experiment as it were = strip em down,, seal em up, put the best needles in em from what you have and what is hanging from these slides (you will want to check em closely for sure) and hopefully run em out another 300k!! Send me an addy Zzz and I will send em to ya to see if you can use em...

Indeed!!! GORGEOUS SCOOT Rick = just flat out GORGEOUS IMHO!! Fact is,, Harley has come a long long ways (see vids) since the days of the Flatheads, Knucks, Pans, slab side Shoves, Cones, Evo's, Twin Cam's and now the new "8"s ... It's been an amazing progression to be part of.. I LOVE the Ultra's and the Limited in that color is actually one of my very favorites.. It is also down right AMAZING the amount of those gorgeous HD's that now can be had at very reasonable prices (considering what they and their competition like the Polaris and the new Venture cost new) = talk about a saturated market.. I look at a beautiful machine like you just picked up that isnt even broken in yet and it's 5 years old and I just ... What on earth is that about,,,,, never ever made sense to me and, knowing you,, I bet you feel the same way.... Nice though cause WOWZY = look what you got = BROTHER THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!! Have fun this summer!! Puc

:scared:no idea if what I am seeing is accurate @TTrax (joined in '14 and this is your 1st post?) but if it is = THAT right there is one of the most awesome 1st posts I know of!! BEAUTIFUL pics or some AWESOME Chasing Of The Front Wheel!! Thanks for joining in!!!

I just stepped out in the garage and asked Maggie the R1 what she thought about this.. Her words? "They put that thang on my back they better double tie wrap his hands on the bars and super glue his feet on the pegs cause I will buck em off so fast when he wicks me up that he'll be in worse shape than C3PO after the Empire got done with him at Landeau's joint after he hits the pavement"

Not that I am aware of Larry,,, I would LOVE to meet him again = VERY nice fellow to chat with and extremely trusting type of guy to let an has been like me who pulled up on a beat up old venture jump in and try to fix the scoot he was riding.. Sylv,, for the life of me I cant remember the guys name.. It is my fault too,, he told me what it was but my focus was on that GORGEOUS scoot he was riding.. I will say this,, I do know that he told me who he was and that he did not actually own that old Harley and that he was JUST "the rider" = just .. This "Cannonball" thing is totally amazing = people from all walks and 100% up my very narrow band, single track life long motorcycle gearheaded alley in every way.. Out there on the CTFW road, old or new,, rich or poor or even what type of scoot we ride = we all become brothers = true members of the Brotherhood of the Open Road..

:95::95: Prayers Up for Lari's family and friends as they work thru this great loss.. Good grief,, I have said before and I will say it again,, I am not a normal everyday hateful person but this good for nothing Cancer stuff = yeah,, I HATE IT!!! R.I.P. and Godspeed Lari.. Thanks Rand for the FYI...

First things first = = glad you found us Doc!! 2nd things 2nd,,,, yippeeeeeeeee,,, a thread about motorcycles,,,good grief I LOVE talking bikes!! Unfortunately though,, I have never owned a 2nd Gen Venture so you probably will want to take what I have to say here with a grain of salt and maybe even allow some elbow room for any corrective :Im not listening toyou and I might get from the 2nd Gen guru's around this joint... Understand,, my points to ponder come from some experience with the 1st Gen Ventures.. This is what I would do... I would call the owner on Craigs to set up the look over and I would ask him to please not start the bike = I would want it cold.. When I got there I would reach down and feel the jugs to make sure it was indeed cold.. I would turn the key on and listen for the electric fuel pump to cycle thru,, I would also pay attention to how the electrical system comes up when I rotate the key to "on" as I have heard the 2nd Gen's have had some issues with key switches.. I would then toggle the kill switch off and then back on and listen to the fuel pump again.. I would do this until the pump slowly cycled off signifying the bowls are full.. Key off, I would then look at the carb overflows to any sign of fuel leakage,, pay attention to gas odors too.. I would then pull the choke, key on, kill switch on, hit the starter and with the throttle closed she should fire up nicely. Let it idle and slowly slip the choke in after just a couple minutes,, as soon the bike idles on its idle circuitry I would spit check the headers to make sure it is hitting on all four.. Next I would check the bikes charging system by asking the owner to "blip" the throttle while I watched the headlight = it should brighten up noticeably as the R's come up off idle.. You can also do this alone easily if the bike is in a garage that you can bounce the headlight beam off from.. It may help to click the beam onto highbeam first.. Now I would shut the scoot back off, sit in the seat and roll it back and forth to feel its resistance to roll.. Next I would squeeze the front brake hard enough to not be able to roll it and release the front brake expecting it to return to free roll indicating no sticky caliper.. Do the same with rear.. Now I would squeeze the clutch lever and hold it in for 15 or 20 seconds paying attention to resistance and feeling for clutch action.. Then I would release it and do the same again to see if I notice change = checking the hydraulic clutch system.. Now I would bounce the bike up and down some forcing the rear of the bike to stroke thru on the rear shock.. I would then take a peek under the rear of the bike in front of the rear tire and locate the bottom of the rear shock. I would look very closely for any sign of oil leakage around the bottom of the rear shock.. I would at least smack the tires to make sure they seem to be aired up fully.. I would also take a peek at the rear brake rotor while down there and see if it agrees that the bike only has 45k on it (amount of wear edge on the rotor). Now I would crank er up and head on down the road if the guy would let me ride it.. I would get out of sight of the owner, put er in 2nd or 3rd gear and wick er up - she should run like a scalded dog (I know my 1st Gens do and the 2nd Gens I have ran with run almost as strong as my 1st Gens) = this is a good test for carb diaphrams.. IMHO,, the fuels we run now adays are with their alcohol content are very hard on diaphrams.. Doc,, I am on my 6th 1st Gen since 87.. Although a completely different model (not as cool looking as the 2nd Gen's) the 2nd Gens are pretty much the same engine internally/drive train with total Yamaha quality (did you know that Yamaha has held the top notch for bike quality for many years?) and I gotta tell ya = the durability of these machines and their far rider friendliness is uncanny.. The side covers that were on my original Blonde 84 Royale that I bought in 87 are still in use on our current 83 and those side covers have over a million miles on them... 200k is pretty much a standard and I have seen 300k plus on a couple of mine with out much more than lots of brake pads, LOTS of tires,,, 2 fuel pump failures, a half a dozen stator failures after upgrade (the upgrade thing was a 1st Gen thing) and keep this in mind = all but this latest 1st Gen was ridden out to those high miles with blown second gear - no joke = short shifting skipping 2nd for 10's of thousands of miles and other then having to "click-click" = never even really missed having 2nd!! Loaded up,, riding 2 up and that little V-4 pulls like mule strong enough that 2nd wasn't even needed!! THEY ARE AWESOME ENGINES!!!! O.K.,, I'll shut up,,, I know I talk to much (wait till you come out to one of our club rallies and meet Marcarl or Saddlebum though,, like a couple cackeling old chickens ... Before I go though,,, everything mentioned before I commented here is spot on IMHO.. Doing those and everything I wrote should take no more then 30 minutes of your time.. Personally,, even if I found some of thing wanting I would still grab the scoot and not be afraid to invest some $$'s into it to make it worthy! Usually, once these scoots are sorted out they are the best of the best for long riders and amazing around town bikes too.. Fingers are tired,, hope it all works out,, high potential for a GREAT scoot at a really good price my friend... Puc

ANOTHER AWESOME FIND HERE RIV!! Fool is thinking like I am thinking and following on your idea of a locking pin!! Some form of device so you can have it be either a traditional side hack or this AWESOME free mover!! GOOD NIGHT to I LOVE the looks of this thing!! It would DEFINITELY be a blast in the twisties!! Years ago Honda built a moped called a "Gyro" which I had a number of.. The Gyro was a three wheeler (two rearward) but was special in that it had a lock handle on the front downtube that you could release and it became a "leaner" = WAYYYYYY FUN!!!! The added stability was nothing short of amazing... Honda only made em a couple years (good $$ return = very collectible) as I imagine, like anything else = kids got kind of daring on them BUT - they were awesome in the corners.. I got a hunch that, couple with the SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAZAAAZZZ of that 1600 Beemer - oh yea,,, look out twisties = no more chicken strips for us geezers!!! As far as the K1600 goes - I am hoping to get ride on one as soon as the weather breaks... I definitely still dont get the 101 mph speed limiter on the new Grand America (makes about as much sense as Mom Yam going air cooled IMHO) cause I just couldnt take having some kid on a Honda scooter or a beat up old HD 883 Sporty or even a good running 250cc go flying by me at 102 mph BUT = that unlimited GT1600 with Tweeks top box tie wrapped on,,,,,, yea,,, that would work!! GOOD GRIEF that 1600 sounds AWESOME!! Ya know,, been reading a LOT about the new Wing too.. NICE SCOOT!! Right in the same ball park $$ wise as the new Venture and (unlike Mom Yam stepping back in time) WOWZY did Mom Honda put the RnD into this one = definitely a BUNCH of major improvements!! Major weight loss, major engine change (4 valve = designed after their AMAZING CRF450 top end!!) and WOW - I LOVE the new front end design!! Having been a Chopper rider for many years and having BRAGGED to people about the awesome ride of both the Springers and the Girders,, Honda finally found out what I have always raved about and are now employing a "girder" front end!! Can not wait to ride one of these too!! Only thing is,, like Beemer,,, the new Wing is speed limited too = 118 tops.. Must be something in the water or something,,, just dont seem right... To be fair though,, Mom Honda also chose to - for some reason - spend all those RnD $$'s t develop that GORGEOUS 4 valve Beemer competitor and then they also neutered it to just 5 hp over the earlier models,, once again,, makes no sense.... I gotta admit,, one of the huge things that really concerns me to about the Beemer Riv is the maintenance costs. I am long past the days of using my hands for delicate work (nerve damage from Dupuytrens surgery and cant see worth a hoot any more either) and I just imagine that paying a Beemer dealer to due the valve trane maintenance on that 1600 would be a chunk of change.. I know on the Honda they are single cammed with screw adjusters on the exhaust valves making it very easy to do half of them - plus,, IMHO - its usually the exhaust valves that go tight because of the heat = good choice on Hondas part IMHO.. Plus the heads hang out there to work on,,, gotta think it would be an all day job just to get the Beemer opened up to even see the cams in it.. Lot to think about if your gonna run er out to high miles BUT - WOWZY would it be fun to have 160 hp on a tour scoot... Telling ya,, I use all these V-4's have to offer on numerous occasions and having that xtra 65 hp would be,, shall we say,,,,,,,,,, life changing fun!!!! Remember we talked about losing the speed limiter?? From what I have been reading,, no can do on the Beemer... It appears that,, at least on up to the '17's,, the speed limiter on the Wings can be deleted by a fairly inexpensive ECM flash ($350) that also made the earlier 1800 run wayy better = more responsive.. From what I have read,, being of the Wing culture,, the aftermarket guys are already working on doing the same for the new one.. Not sure what that means as far as Warranty goes (I say that tonge and cheek - I am certain it would void a warranty) but I truly can just hear those guys at Honda in Japan saying "BEEMER goin 101 - we go 118 and stomp on 160 horse motor with 110 hp - make customer very happy and sell like hot cakes:big-grin-emoticon: so the tuner reflash wouldnt be needed by most anyway.... I have a pretty good "threw the gears" vid on the new Venture compared to our old 1st Gens.. I hope to do the same on a Wing and on a 1600 Beemer just to compare... Gonna be fun!!

EXCELLENT THREAD/POST RIV = MADE MY DAY = THANK YOU!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup: Indeed,, those officers really go thru the training!! I LOVED seeing the "trail riding" going on - IMHO, there is sooo much to learn by woods riding that is directly applicable to road riding.. And that sand pit = WAYYYY COOL!! Matter of fact,, years ago when our local HD shop was putting in their 1st training course I happen to stop by when I noticed what they were doing and the first thing I asked them was ="where's your sand pit?".. Looked at me like I was crazy:big-grin-emoticon: :scared: your Father was a bike officer?? WAYYY WAYY COOL!! Brother,, the 3 of us HAVE to get together some time cause I would LOVE to hear some stories!! If you have time and he is willing,,, can you ask him if he remembers what he rode back in the day? By any chance did he start out on Pan Heads?? Tank shift/Foot clutch?? 60's it would have been Pan Bottom, Shovel Top ends cause I dont think they came out with the Cone Shovel till 70ish... I had a first year, non AMF Police FL for a while.. LOVED the bike!! WOWZY Riv,, I would LOVE to hear more and maybe even see a pic or two!! Be sure and tell your Dad THANK YOU for his service!! P.S. = my Dad was an LEO too wayyy back then (not a bike officer though)!! Not sure but I always wondered if his 1st born son riding tearing the town up on his 1959 Sears Alstate was part of the reason that Dad got out of law enforcement:missingtooth:

Hot off the press = here is their route plan, dates and times at towns along the path -http://motorcyclecannonball.com/route/ .. Noticing they drop down out of Maine, ride past Freebirds campground in Ohio,, skirt the bottom of Michigan and then across Iowa for a WHOLE DAY lay over at Sturgis.. Unfortunately for the '18 Rally goers this wont happen till mid September BUT - IMHO - WOWZY - this is definitely worth the time to follow or hook up with them on their layover.. A chance to see some AWESOME old scoots and meet some very interesting folks from all around the world.. Yes,, some are high end folks with camera crews, mechanics and all that BUT - there are always a number of normal everyday backyard mechanic types too, lone wolf grease monkey lop eared brother of the wrench varmints - definitely a really really good time!!! By the way,, check this out,, @Condor, @VentureFar, @CMCOFFEY, @AceHighLeathers , @bikerjohn , Mrs @vicco27 one of their stops is gonna be The Dalles Oregon (some GREAT memories there I tell ya)!!!! Would LOVE to chase em all the way out to Portland = maybe get another shot at some wrench spinnin on another one!!! It's a LONG way off but I would LOVE to follow em back out to Sturgis SD for the lay over!! A rolling motorcycle museum at its finest with gotta be there wrenchin stops all along the way!! Kick the tires and lite the fires!!!

Good find Man's... I for one would LOVE to find a car tire that would fit my 1st Gens as I tend to go thru tires fairly quickly.. I have tried numerous times to locate one and have some comments to make about what you have found here.. I think you should repost this thread or I will copy/paste your thread over to the Water Hole in an effort to draw more attention to it and see if we cant get more knowledgeable input there then I can offer... O.K.?

Carbon_One ,, @CarbonOne ,,, @Carbon-One (hopefully one of those @'s work!!!!) Thought you'ld pull this off without getting noticed didn't cha Larry? Well ya thought wrong ya lop eared Slingshot riding varmint:missingtooth:!!!!!! :Crazy_139::Crazy_139::group cheers::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::wow::wow::wow::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::group cheers: P.S. = page 10078.99 in the Code states: Never shoot the messenger!! Hope your having the best of the best Birthdays EVER my friend where ever you are!! Tweeks, Tip and of course,, Puc

Another one of my all time favorites wayyy back then... It was a day and age of one record hits THAT is for sure!!

INDEED SNYPE!!!!:thumbsup::clap2: Them there hellians would fit right in :dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XSaKQlBZuE

GOOD ON YA BRO!!! Nothing wrong with keeping that worn out page in our code that says "no one goes home unless we all go home" alive!!!!! Hey George,, if your reading this you are more than welcome to jump in here and say howdy!! FYI - you done got helped by the best of the best when our Yammer stopped.. He may have made a cocky comment or two about your HD but in all reality and honesty,, his bark is wayyyyy worse than his bite.. He's an ol HD panhead (shaped to perfection by the frying pan that hangs next to his wifes stove) lover that secretly LOVES those ol HD's!!

Dont let em mess with your grey matter Dan,,, the issue of broken,, or even deformed snow for that matter, probably has more to do with a lack of Q.C. on Fool's end than your being told.. I happen to know for certain that his operation is basically a one man set up and Fool's expertise is more in the engineering side than maintaining quality in the final product.. I suspect that the issue is probably nozzle related (a tie wrap not trimmed properly or even chemical buildup would do it)... Hey Jeff,, just had another epiphany here,,, it may even rival the high temp snow you have been working on... How about shaping those nozzles to form shapes when the snow lands... You could start out with flower shapes and eventually even work up to motorcycle shapes.. It would be WAYYYY cool to see pictures from outer space out of Jet Propulsion Labs that show your designs... Maybe even confuse some of the Aliens who have always wondered if there really is any intelligent life down here??
