Are there any members in the Woodstock Ontario area who could give a new member some mechanical assistance? I sold him my 86 Venture Royal. I can't help as we are all tied up packing to move next month so have no time to spare. He goes by the name of rtspeed on the forum and is having problems using it, could be since he's a trial member. Either send him a PM or email or contact me and I'll provide his phone number. Thanks Huggy.

Sold it!

Sold my Venture yesterday. The buyer said he had one before BUT after seeing how he loaded it up on his trailer and the odd questions he asked I don't think he ever owned one before. He didn't even know how to bleed the brakes! First, him and his buddy wrapped a steel cable around the fork tubes to pull the bike up their loading ramp then proceeded to pull the bike to the front of the trailer. And snugged it up against the front of the trailer using the winch and left it pulled up tight to the winch putting lots of pressure on the tubes. They then died the bike down on the kick stand side with out tying it down on the right side also. I believe in putting a bike on the center stand and tying both right and left sides down. I'm sure if it didn't fall over he has bent the fork tubes! Another thing that made me suspicious of his knowledge of the bikes was he wanted me to hook the battery cables up to my big battery charger, it has a 150amp boost for starting vehicles. Of course I refused. I'm sure I'll get a call from him saying there's something wrong with the bike because he couldn't get it to start after hooking it up to a battery charger to play with the lights? AND he will want his money back!

Buy a cheap game camera or two and put them in a secure anti theft box and hang them high enough to be to difficult for a surprised would be thieves to get at. Use one that take infrared pictures. One inside and one out side window should work.

Does any body buy the First Gen Ventures any more? I don't see any up for sale any longer in adds other than in the forum. in Canada on Kijiji you would see a lot of them up for sale, now next to none and you might see one offered now and again.

Hi everyone been off line for quite a while so to bring things up to speed. The mother in law passed away 4 weeks ago and my wife is not well and I'm not doing so well myself. So to make a long story short I'm selling my bikes, the 86 Venture and 83 XJ750K I'll be posting an add. We are going to sell the house and move to something more manageable. Loos like we'll be moving from Ontario to New Brunswick to be closer to our son and his family. I'm hoping that if I don't get the bikes sold one of the Ontario members will be good enough to sell them for me as there no way I will be taking them with me. So if anyone knows some who is looking for a cheap bike I have two for sale. Richard

In Europe the waiting staff is paid a living wage just like the factory worker they are not paid a lower wage because they are in the service industry. Many of these people make these jobs carriers since they can support a family on there income. Thus it is considered an insult by these workers for making them look like beggars and lowlifes. In other places like Canada the USA and other countries the service industry is a lowly job only fit for the poor and uneducated, not in Europe.

This is the first startup of my brothers 51 HD project bike. This is short and was taken before they got it setup properly. My brother says the wisps of smoke is from oil used during the engine rebuild. Ya right, it's an HD! https://youtu.be/NxGJr4MbZUU?t=7

Never mind figured it out! And I did it all by myself!!

How do you get a YouTube video to appear in your thread?

OK hope this works. Here is Harper with one of her older sisters.
