As well as that contraption is equipped,, I think the only thing you have to worry about disappearing is the Chiefs good sense of judgement and ability to walk a straight line after sitting there for a while:stirthepot:,,,,, only thing missing is a Rum Ball shooter!! Maybe you and the Fool oughta get together and make em one for Christmas KIC:detective:, get Mama in on it for a fresh supply of ammo:shock3:

And a VERY VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO CK!!!!!!!!! :sleigh: Lets exchange long distance Christmas presents,, I noticed you havent got a "friend" yet, gonna send ya a friend request as a gift.....

I would say, if the brakes on that Honda Sabre looking scoot are any good and if that long lost relative of mine actually did tie his boat to his queen size mattress instead of going all the way down to the trailer frame,,,,,,,,, when he hits the brakes those low trailer tires are gonna be the last of his worries......

He says with a great big power trippin smile on his face:big-grin-emoticon: Then he says to himself,,,,, I wonder what would happen if I clicked on this little icon marked "owner/administrator only"

No sooner said that then the rain changed over to white wash here Fool,,,, forgot to change the lock on the shed while I was there didnt I.................... Oh well,, it was GREAT while it lasted....

My kinda guy that Don is,, always tweaking on something.....

"""it is just fun to think about the possibilities..."""" That would go into my sig area with your name beside it if there was room Yuck,,, other than riding em - nothin funner than dreamin about the possibilities... I am the opposite on the Harley borderline thingy.. I love Harley's,, I think HD has done some AWESOME things with where they have taken the market for a 1920's air cooled tractor motor stuck into a bicycle frame... Tell ya one thing for sure,, I have noticed a huge drop in the stopping and working on broken Harleys while traveling out to Sturgis compared to the way it used to be,,, I am sure it has everything to do with the 07 and newer twin cam (after the cam chain tensioner problem was addressed)... Also,, from my perspective,, I admire HD for keeping the V-Twin market alive,, if it werent for them I highly doubt that that great big ol gorgeous Vulcan 2000 would even exist.. Our V-4's are so superior in performance, effeciency, durabilty, reliabilty and function that all bikes would probably be 1983 Yamaha Venture clones:stirthepot: if it werent for Harley,,,,,,,,, like you said,,, it is just fun to think about the possibilities...

Thank you for asking that great question! There is an old saying that goes like this,, "the only stupid question is the one that does not get asked" and you have proven once again the importance of understanding old sayings.. When the designers of Hawaii were in the process of drawing its Blue Prints they made an important discovery... One of the issues back on the mainland was the limited supply of ocean front property.. Demand for this property was so high in fact that people were willing to pay 100,000 times more for it than any other land... The buyers of the ocean front property were also more than happy to pay 200,000 times more in taxes on their ocean front property.. Obviously, ocean front property was a catalyst for real happiness for people,,, something that the original designers of Hawaii wanted to make sure their final product produced.. One designer, a man by the name of B. S. Themall came up with the idea of designing the new property so that anyone and everyone that bought property on their newly developed living area had ocean front property,,,, therefore everyone would be happy... B. S. had noticed that back on the mainlands - ocean front property ran in a straightline,, the land behind the ocean front was being blocked by the land in front of it from being ocean front.. The thought occurred to B.S. that if this straight line were more circular,, maybe even shaped like a wheel,, that the water that was very important to ocean front property would naturally surround the land making it ALL ocean front.. MR. Themall knew his idea was a good one, he met with some investers.. B.S. told the investors that he also thought they, the investors would also be happy as they would notice a big increase in their bank accounts as it was common knowledge that happy ocean front land owners will gladly give them all their money.. Mr. Themall's suggestions and idea's were put into practice and the making of Hawaii became a reality, a land surrounded water, loaded with broke - happy people to this very day...

Hey Yuck,,, THANKS for asking for our opinions - I LOVE giving mine!!! As you know,, there is a lot more to comfort on a bike than wheelbase.. Ya might wanna actually ride one and see if there are any issues impeading comfort that cant be fixed by optional equipment.. Perfect example of this is my love for the early Voyager 2's.. Tried everything imaginable to get the leg room, fabbed up extentions for the pegs (no small undertaking) - just not enough ground clearance.. Personally,, I like that great big ol 2000cc Vulcan too... It is a big, beautiful piece of work!! I also really like the Strat and have always liked the Honda 1800 VTX too,, love the Ultra Limited and the new Indian is to die for.. Now that I think about the big V-Twin market,,,, I really really have always liked the Raider.. Opppss,, got side tracked in my thoughts,,, after being around a pretty good mix of these big bore monsters I can tell ya.. On the Vulcan, keep an eye on the oil level - Vulcans like to breath their crankcase air and aspirate a little, adding oil at 2k of highway riding is not uncommon with em.. All the big bores twins are hard on rear tires, strats and vulcans seem to be the worst - price to pay for using coffee cans for pistons.. I am still partial to shaft drive so the VTX has a little shine there, a Strat belt change on the road is possible - Harley is an absolute shop job and even than not for the faint of heart - Kaw Vulcan I am not sure on cause I have never been involved in one but I would know before I headed west with one.. Also,, keep in mind that Harley has a huge options catalog and their aftermarket is beyond compare.. The Vulcan 2000, because of its limited production, will be at the bottom of the barrel in that world.. There, now ya know what I think I know... Put it together with any other opinions you get here and you will be way smarter than me!!!! Oh, by the way, loud pipes on a Harley running 85 for a few hours can get mighty tiring too,,, dont let that fake smile on your buddies face fool ya Yuck - noise is noise..

Hi Tim While I did like the handling on the 404's I have ran on Tweeks, I also found them to wear very fast - no doubt a LOT faster then the E2's I was used to.. I actually wore a brand new 404 down to the carcass on a trip out to Sac to visit the kids,,, playing in the desert - tire was gone in Moab with 4k on it... FYI,, I discovered Full Bore tires this last season in another on the road tire gone situation - CHEAP (70 bucks) and ended up getting 5k on it - I would go Full Bore before I went 404... Or better tires if cash was not an issue...

shhhhhhhhh,,,,

Ya gots ta lurn da reed ya prefert,,, da nu fedrel rools says "No Churt, No Choose, NO Soyvace!!! Seems to me that we are getting more new folks popping in here now with the new site,, could be just imaginary on my part though cause I am known to have imaginary friends, BUT,, either way - its great cause I like seeing new people participating and making new friends.. My only complaint,, if any,, is I was hoping to be blessed with more space in my signature area so I could include more family quotes down there - they make me smile every time I post something... On the same token though,,, cant have everything,,,,, but I can try!!! The transition was as smoothhhh as salt at The Bonneville Don,!!!! THANKS!!

Have had a few breezy moments through the years,,,, matter of fact,,, below is pic of Tip with her Windy Wyoming/Montana/Utah/Texas/Arizona/New Mexico/South Dakota ANTI WIND glasses on... Crosswinds out there can really surprise ya so ya gotta be prepared if ya wanna keep ridin.. Its all in the knees.....

Brings tears to my eyes,,, a family of 12000 people and there is actually someone who understands the true meaning of Pucdom!!! I would share my dumpster diving dinner with you ANY TIME Ventureless!! And Mr. Freebird,,, after all this time,, you should KNOW that that trailer packing biker isnt even close to being on the same page as the Pucman,,,, I dont see a smoker, a tool box/cabinet complete with Vice, a freezer for storing road kill to be smoked or, even an extra set of tires for the trailer/bike anywhere... Let alone the fact that there aint a sticker one on that make believe cross country gizmo..... Terrible too cause look at all that extra space... What da heck,, I dont even see a boat motor on that dinky load,,,, what goods a boat without a motor,,,, everyone KNOWS that touring is about fun and a boat without a motor is NOT fun:scratchchin:........ In all fairness,, I really need to give credit to my late father for my advanced packing skills.. He taught me everything I needed to know about packing a bike and never really knew it.... Here is a pic of him getting ready to cut his lawn... The little feller standing up with the white shirt and red trimming hanging on his neck is my son, biker name - "P-Dog".... "P-Dog" spent many hours hugging my neck just like that as a youngster while we were out running Buffalo at Custer State Park/Yellowstone or going down steep dirt hills looking for creeks to pan gold in while touring on our first Venture...... THANKS FOR THE CHANCE TO DEFEND MY HONOR GUYS!!

Wowziee,,, good thread Eck.... For some reason,, no idea if its Tweeks color - my beard or Tips bad habit of having to wear a Rain suit with "BOSS" written on it when its raining but for some reason,, people usually just stare for a minute, shake their heads and walk away - ok,, get some laughs too.... Take that back,, last summer I did hear words like "RUN", "CALL THE COPS", "GRAB THE KIDS", "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" (while in Alberta) and "EVERY ONE OFF THE SIDEWALK" yelled a few times before they scattered... Never heard any of these prefaced with "Should we" so I am unsure whether or not they fit into the topic of this thread..

I think Howie is on to something here:thumbsup:.... Seems like I read somewhere that HD stopped offering Cassette Players a while back,, even though they have fairly good sounding Audio Systems there is NOTHING like a Cassette Deck when it comes to premium sound,,, not sure about modern day moosic but - when it comes to listening to Willie I can verify this is the case... Yeppers Bongo,,, ya oughta do us a favor, do some digging and see if you can find and offer up 105 new RSV's for your family here instead of Hardley's,,,,, better yet,, see if Yamaha still has 105 new left over 83 Ventures,,,, YOU WOULD GET THE 105 responders within 2 minutes if that were case......

In my best Maxwell Smart voice imitation I would normally say - OK 99,, call the Chief but,, seems how everyone else is sleeping except me and Dan - and I gotta hunch he is feeding his mug and watching a ball game or something - I will handle this one (YammerDan and I are the unofficial self appointed 3rd shift hosts, head mechanics, Phycologists, Anthropologists, Microbioligist, food tasters and Nuclear Physists cause we have insomnia).. Anyway 99,, the old post that you dug up was actually a trap setup to lure new members into having to do a cross country ride, take pictures and than report back here with a story about the ride and have pics with it.. It was designed to trick unsuspecting new members into doing that and than using their example to get older VR members into the habit of including pics in with their ride stories too.. You see, some people here, I wont mention any names, cant even remember who they are half the time so we dont even ask whether or not they can read,,, bottom line - pics solve a LOT of problems in our family... All that said,,,,, and seems how "Ellegood" never did come back with a ride report back in '09 when he started this thread,,, I got a thought for you to consider.. How about you climb on your 84 sometime this coming summer,, start in your home town of Decatur.. To stay in theme with Ellegood's original thought - just point your bike toward Summerville and ride that direction until ya find it.... Take pics of all the cool stuff ya find along the path and come back and tell us allll about it..... Kenny,, I have ridden quite a bit of southern Illinois and totally agree with you,, NICE RIDING!!!! Welcome to VR Puc out...

Boy,,, I dont know Bongo,,, after reading thru that whole letter I found one spot that really causes me pause,,,, it is addressed to "Attention Dear"... You obviously got into someone elses mail... If it werent for that,, if it would have been addressed to, Smart Alect, Wise Guy, Trouble Maker, Pot Stirrer,,,, anything other than Dear,,, I would have bit.... Funny that Raggie didnt catch that,, he could have saved himself a buck...

Hmmm,, not sure whether or not I am buying into this one,,, the air breather doesnt look correct,, almost like Stage 2 and, as I recall,, didnt the Boss Man say he wasnt swapping the breather on his out? Good one Kic..

Thoughts and Prayers Up for your friends wife, the family, friends and you in this time of grieving Kev.. Sounds like Ben was the kind of person that the world needs more of, may the memories of the times enjoyed with him sustain each of you throughout these dark hours... Sad indeed!! Rest In Peace Ben.. Puc n Tippy (we hugged in honor of your memory)

THAT was NO malfunction Ang!!! Couple more weeks of not being able to get that machine to produce white wash and the Fool will be BEGGING me to tell em what I did to it!!! Guess us ol Michiganders can fool even da Fool when we gotta!! I like temps that match my normal cruising speeds when me n Tweeks are rippin across the open desert out west.... Consider the source though cause I also like Prairie Dogs

This insomnia must be catchy bro.... Now that cha mention it,, I think it was Fram that I was getting too Dan O'... Hey,,, out of curiousnesssss,, does that sweet little Silver lady use the same filter as Sugar?
