Cant believe we almost missed this you guys. While, IN NO WAY, am I trying to steal any thunder from Venturous's thread about today being the 45th anniversary of Armstrong's moon walk, today is also another very important day to many of us here on VR.. Today is National Ice Cream Day!! Long live the mighty goodness of the big ol double dip cone of ice cream - specially Banana Nut!!!:ice_congrats-vi6886:ice_thy-vi101212101:ice_thy-vi101212101:ice_yaw-vi121414111:ice_yaw-vi121414111:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644:ice_awesome-vi46644

Sounds like ol Scamper came from a very good home and, thankfully, went to a good home.. Because you did it right Carl, I wouldnt be a bit surprised that Scamper will smile and wave at you on your new bike as she and the new guy she is giving a ride to go flying past you on their new adventure in life... Congrats on the sale! Puc

BEEEUTIFUL!! and the PERFECT name too!! Congrats brother,, ride and preach on! Puc

This is an awesome video story about a man, a brand new Yamaha motorcycle that takes the man and his wife on their honeymoon and..... I talk to much,,, watch the video.. By the way, the vids only 3 minutes long,,, anyone can spare 3 minutes right.. Puc

Hey Bill,, seems how we have met face to face and are good friends now I think I will hijack your thread:rotf::rotf: First off,, take a look at these pics and see if you can help me figure out some things... My memory isnt the best, no where near as good yours.. Did I catch Bongo with his hand in the cookie jar in this first pic? Was Jrichards mad cause Bongo wouldnt share the cookies he just ripped from the jar? Does Raggy have that smirk on his face cause it wasnt his cookiejar that Bongo was sneaking cookies from? Are you pointing out to Carbon One that you think the cookiejar was one that came out of that Red Trike?

First Randy, thanks again for your sacrifice, time and effort in keeping this country free.. I too remember sitting in the living room at home staring at a Black and White TV in total awe of what I was seeing!! Those were really interesting times to experience for a teenage boy of 14 years old.. Gotta agree with you brother,, it sure seems like it was just yesterday... Man, how time flys,,,, almost like time itself is riding a 1st Gen Yam Venture...

Yea,, ok, ya got me on this one Bill.. Just cause you and I have actually met now and we are really good friends I will admit I was stretching the truth and trying to come off as a big spender... When you buy MnM's, Skiddles, Smarties or Jelly Beans in the bulk (some people dont realize every time they buy a little bag of those candies they are buying in bulk) you can usually get them for 50 cents a bag. If you open the bag and count them and dont eat any (people like BongoBob, EasyRider, YammerDan, Condor, FlyingFool, BikerJohn, Squid, CMCoffey,,,,, come to think of it, most folks I know have a real problem with that part) you will usually find at least 100 pieces of candy. I confess,,, technically, when I tear open that bag of Jelly Beans and toss a bean to a kid it's only a half a cent piece of candy not "penny" candy.. In my own defense though,, there have been many many times that I have tossed a kid not one but TWO jelly beans at one time actually making the total toss worth a penny and therefore still qualifying me as a big spender!!!!!!!

WOW!! What a great party!! Buckshot is wrong, I was only cameratizing 35 percent of the time, the other 65 percent of the time I was eating and talking... Eating and talking at the same time of course... That being said, I happen to have had 1 of only a couple camera's there that I noticed.. I also noticed that those VR members not operating camera's were naturally 100 percent eaters and talkers,, once again at the same time of course.. I am a little tired because of the hard work involved with the camera operations.. Very soon I will post pictures supporting my findings!! RAGTOP69 and JEANNIE,, Tippy and I :clap2::clap2:you both and thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! THAT was great time my friends!! It was a pleasure meeting you both AND, of course, all you other eaters and talkers too!!!!!!:cool10: Home safe and sound, hope everyone else is the same! Puc

I have been a major Ford Festiva user/abuser for years.. Always had good luck with em, tough as nails, fabbed up a hitch and drug motorycles on my little flatbed trailer all over the country.. EXCELLENT ON FUEL. I had four of them at one time cause my kids ran em while going to college, had one daughter while doing her premed and working for hospice that put well over 50k on hers in one year, just awesome little cars! Definitely 200k plus stuff! They stopped making them in 93ish and started making the Aspire, we have had 4 of those too of which my son drives one now.. Same motor/tranny as the Festiva, little bigger car.. I found out that those cars actually came from KIA.. Due to this I bought an 05 KIA Spectra, used, had 23k on it and paid 4k for it.. That was 5 or 6 years ago.. Between the kids using it, me hauling bikes on the flatbed behind and the wife chasing around in it, it now has just under 150K trouble free miles.. Gets 34 mpg, Festivas/Aspires 44/40. Have learned that Hyundia and Kia are sisters, would also not be afraid of them.. LOVE the Civics, daughter now drives a 97, GREAT little cars but found exactly what your saying to be true!! If you go Kia watch the timing belt change schedule, they are interference motors and have much more resistance on the valve train than the Festiva 1.3L's.. Never did do a belt on those Festivas/Aspires and NEVER had a failure in THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of miles on em.. Kia, not so much! Totally agree with other poster on the Suzukis, know folks that had very good luck with them but I think I may remember Suzuki car manufacturing now be defunct.. I would check that out before I went that direction for fear of finding parts. I may be wayyyy off in that Bubber but better I am proven wrong than you finding you cant get parts for your pride n joy... Hope this helps somehow Puc

Prayers Up on way home from Raggys Eat n Greet!! Blessings Down!

May as well go back to defrosting that Wisconsin White Wash machine of yours brother,, I take VERY good care of Tippy n Tweeks! You see my friend, upon Tweeks left rear quarter panel hangs a gorgeous little thing called a whip.. Tippys left hand is the ONLY left hand that Tweeks will even let get near the dog gone thang... Twix the to of those road runners they pretty much get anything and everything their sweet little hearts desire.... By the way,, this typing episode cost me half my fries,,,, thanks alot FOOL, says I inmy best B.A. Baracks voice...

So, here we are cruising along, minding our own business.. Its a very very short trip tween our house and Raggys.. He lives on the east side of Michigan, Tweeks, Tip n I on the west.. A mear 3 hour , putt... Normally Tweeks LOVES the open road, she isnt real fond of bottlenecks, likes to sit back and behind em and, swoosh,, bye bye time,,, its kinda a game for her... Anyway, just a couple seconds ago we started to play that tune. This time it was a little different. Sitting in her cockpit I started hearing this funny noise,, a grawl sorta.. I says to Tippy,, you that? Tip says yea,,, what da heck is dat? Noticed a sign ahead that said Burger King on it. Remembering the last time this whole thing happened down in Round Rock Texas and the great results we had by pulling into Burger King down there, I headed thata way.. As we pulled into Burger King this time I instantly realized that they, Burger King, once again held the solution to our problems! As I pulled into their parking I realized it was my tummy growling! These here BK whoppers over here in Novi Michigan are yum yum!

Great day at Muskegons Bike Time.. Olivia (war bike) was a smash,, not literally.. Just pulling out of here.. Gonna make a pass through allllllll those bikes at Bike Time (mostly Harleys of course) to give em an idea of what a beat up ol touring bike like Tweeks looks like and than on our way... Never enough time,, never enough energy.. See you folks real soon! Thanks for all your hard work setting this up and most of all,, for being willing to let Tweeks, Tips and I be part of your party!! Cant wait to meet you folks and others!! and maybe get to see that car of yours LOL Puc

x2 there my friend!!! x exponential = WE CARE!! Well put Mr. Cuda!

ROCK N ROLL,,,,, no more puttputt for you PUTTPUTT:cool10:

Had another epiphany, We could petition Don to combine the sites and make one great big fun loving site called "VentureRider.org and that other bike site" Just not enough time in the day to be everywhere,,,,, at least at my age:backinmyday:

If I were down yonder I would join ya Rick,,, be safe,, HAVE FUN!! Puc

YES!! Phew,, thought I were in trouble,, NICE BIKE JACK!! oh,, oh oh oh (best Horshack voice),, I gotta nuther.. Give ya a hint, he shares his wifes VR name so it will be MR. __________ and another hint, he and his wife BUILT that gorgeous trailer, parked behind him, that they pull all over the country and sleep in WITHOUT having to set it up!!

Got chur back Sarge!!

Of course, I had to click on it.. Heyyyyyyy,,, and I did that even being a member at Don's new site

Raggy,, we got this Bike Time thing going on over here and its going well.. Tip and I still want to shoot over for your meet n greet thingy though.. We are talking about leaving tomorrow afternoon sometime and heading your way.. Any chance you and Jeannie can mark a 5x7 X somewhere in your backyard for us? If all the spots are spoken for we wondered if your house has a flat roof? If all spots, including the roof, are taken, thats OK,, we will find someplace near you to camp and still show up Saturday to torture your other guests... Looking forward to meeting you folks and the others who attend!! Puc
