VR Hillybilly's Come n listen to my story bout some VR friends,,, riding their scoots where the road never ends,,, then one day they was hungry as could beee,,, so they pointed their bikes to where the hot dogs was freeee:big-grin-emoticon:

SEE!! THAT is a perfect example of just how much smarter than me my Trak Phone really is "eh"!!! It's so smart that it probably would have known that - telling ya,, it's a really smart phone for not being a Smart phone "eh" Now ya did it, ya'll (done got corrected by one of those suthin States varmints before too) went and got me started "eh".. :scared:just figured something out,,,,, I'll be shoehorned,, I'm a multi lingoed Puc,,, eh...

Just got off the phone with Sam in California. The idea of tapping on the reverse button did not work. @Eck, I passed on your information to Sam and he will be contacting you my friend. Hopefully he does so and somehow you are able to help our buddy our there. PLEASE keep us updated here if you find out anything Eckster - YOU are the bestest of the bestest!! By the way, I know Sam's scoot isnt a Venture but as far as I am concerned - this thread is still open for any input and chit/chat.. We all know how the story goes = a couple million heads is better then 1 ,,,,,, and besides,, what could possible be more fun than yakkin bikes on the best bike yakkin website on the internet? (watch some hot dog eatin lop eared varmint say something like - "dah,,, eatin hot dogs while we're yakkin bikes in real life would be better")

We have a 10 dollar Trak Phone that is smarter than I am so I see no point in buying a smart phone that is smarter than a Trak Phone.. Pretty smart eay?

On our way to Hot Dog cook out with the neighbors... Thar beee Dogs in that thar bag ya varmint:big-grin-emoticon:

Hey Vern Trader,,,, know what cha mean..

Ohhhh heckyea Eckyea,,, and it comes in all shapes and sizes my brother!!!! Makes no difference what we ride,,, its the therapy that counts!! HERE'S WISHING ALL MY LOP EARED VARMINT VR FAMILY MEMBERS THE BESTEST THERAPEUTIC SUMMER EVER - GET OUT AND GET SOME YA'LL!!

THANK'S Z!! That may come in handy.. I received an email from Nanci late last night that she has been "copy/pasting" this thread over into an email and sending it to Sam's wife - that Nanci (@Luvdaleather) is a real deal biker gal who is doing her derndest to help her friend out,, AWESOME VR biker lady in her own right!! By the way,, in case anyone did not know this - Nanci is the same person who has provided lots of our members here with some AMAZING leather work - she is the owner of "Ace High Leathers" that you see advertised on the site (how's that for an unsolicited Nanci ).. I only bring that up cause I am constantly amazed at the high caliber of members we have on this site.. I dont know how Freebird did it but he built something here that just amazes me.. Been said before and I know I am preaching to the choir BUT our MC Club is like no other - real family if you will!!

Good question @Eck!! Thinking its still pretty early out there in California yet,, I would call Sam and ask about it but I dont want to disturb anyone's beauty over a motorcycle cause I know how I am about having my sleep interrupted over such trivial stuff..... ,, what am saying,,,, when it comes to bikes - I could care less about sleeping On another note,, I noticed that "Sam from Weed" joined up last night (take a peek in the "welcome to VR" forum).. Thinking our friend @Luvdaleather (Nanci) who knows Sam and his wife and introduced him to us lives not far from Weed so I am now really curious whether or not Sam may have signed up on the site.. I did pass along our VR address so maybe its the same Sam.. Think I will meander over to the new member section and leave a note over there.. Eck,, if its not him and I end up calling Sam later to find out what happened, would you mind if I ask him about putting you directly in contact with him? Nanci gave me Sam's phone number and I can verify that he is a GREAT person.. Not to pass the buck or nothing like that, I think you know I love helping folks Eck, I just dont know squat about the Wings - have never even ridden one, much less actually tinkered with one.. Would you mind chatting directly with him Eck? Either way my friend, I really appreciate your efforts in helping him and I KNOW he does too!! 85 years young and he and his wife are still out chasing the front wheel - DEFINITELY my kinda folk!!

friendship

priceless

lol,,, just responded to ur other thread bother.. probably typing there while u were here..

typing one finger so hope u can read this brother. those hose connector brass tubes are just pressed into the petcock. if you remove the fitting from the hose, slide it back into the petcock. push it in as far as u can with your finger. now take a dowel of hardwood or even the handle of a screwdriver and place it firmley and squarely against the face of the nipple. tap on the dowel and keep tapping till the nipple stops dead in the petcock. its a very common occurence neil, should be just fine after you drive it back in place. love ya bother,,, puc ps - tip sends her love too

OUTSTANDING STAN!!!:thumbsup: Cant wait to see the light show sometime this summer!! By the way,, DONT YA JUST LOVE WHEN THAT ALL HAPPENS LIKE THAT (meaning timing for the thread) - these lop eared gearheaded, always willing to share info VR varmints are amazing!!:thumbsup:

!! Another lop eared VentureRider.org hero varmint friends of ours DanL'!!:clap2::clap2:

@Eck, Got it my friend - left you a message in the other thread.. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ECK - YOU DA MAN BROTHER!! your brilliant suggestion works for our new friend Sam!!

@Eck Just called and relayed your message to Sam, Eckster,, he is on his way out into their garage to give it a shot!! I read the whole message to him and when I got to the end where you said "wish I was there to help" Sam said "bless his heart"!!! I REALLY hope this works - that Sam sounds like our kind of people!! Thanks Eckster and Thanks All!! @Luvdaleather,, hope your catching all this,,, these guys are AWESOME!!

Here is a link to the thread I started over in the Gold Wing Tech about this. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?117571-Honda-Wing-stuck-in-1st-Gear-a-new-friend-needs-some-input And here is an "update" from that link from Nancy @Luvdaleather who contacted me earlier about Sam. As you can clearly see - Sam is a great guy and I KNOW he appreciates ALL of the advice guys!! Eck,, I am gonna stick your info into an email to Nanci to make sure Sam gets it.. It may not be necessary because I think he is probably already reading your instructions but I want to be sure he gets it.. THANKS Eckster!!

You are more than welcome Nanci - it was/is an honor and a pleasure to have gotten to meet Sam!! I am the one who should be thanking you my friend!! I hesitated putting your name, Sam's age and all that on here out of respect for both of you - THANK YOU for jumping in here and volunteering the info!! Hopefully we can somehow assist that wonderful man in getting his gorgeous scoot back on the road! Sam,, if your reading this,, we're trying brother!! Puc

If I am cornfused does it mean I have a capacitor problem in my brain Bongo? I am reluctant to answer that cause I dont want no more surgeries for a while.. I may be confused a little BUT I am thoroughly enjoying the shared knowledge!! Good discussion!!

I love discussions like this,, the only thing that would make this funner would be if we were sitting around a camp fire with our feet propped up and roasting a Hot Dog... ,,,,, if that were the case, I would probably get up, go help Mike pull the oil from his bike, put in new oil and then take his old oil, drain Tweeks oil and replace it with Mikes bikes drain oil and we would be back at the campfire before the Hot Dogs were done cookin The PERFECT Meet n Greet

Gorgeous scoot Godlover!! Sorry to hear about the bag. Wonder if there is anyway you can work the edge of the bag down enough to get the latch to unhook? Looks like it got sprung somehow. Did it come from a bike shop? If it did, maybe they would work with you on getting it repaired - never hurts to ask:fingers-crossed-emo Also glad you had a good ride home my friend! Puc

2007 Honda Wing, the owner inadvertently pushed the reverse button while the bike was in first gear. It is now locked in 1st and locked in reverse. It's a trike but the bike came with the reverse from the factory. Please click-on and respond to the linked thread below if you have any suggestions.. ALL/any input would be GREATLY appreciated you guys!! http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?117570-Attention-got-a-new-friend-in-California-with-trike-question-can-we-help#tab8

A little more update, I just googled the situation and found out that the reverse button on the Wings can become sticky.. Then it dawned on me that Sam's bike may have came from the factory with reverse - I had assumed that the reverse was part of the Trike Kit... I am soooo stuck in old school scoots that I had forgotten they actually make motorcycles with reverse nowadays Just called Sam again (sorry for buggin you folks again Sam) and verified it, the reverse is factory Honda and is NOT an aftermarket that would come as part of the trike package...
