Chris...nicely done!! Thank you...

Scott, So sorry to hear! Prayers to your family this time of need! david

Me too!

I like it! Easier to add pics and such. easier to work with. Thank you for your hard work! P.S. I like the green borders...cool! I can change and customize all day...nice!

How or where do we click to thank someone for their post? A "Like" button would work as well! david

Well done, actually...

Being Lactose intolerant, I can't get into ice cream much anymore....sigh. BUT, do love breakfasts. So....this morning..despite the cool wind...decided to take little bike out for a spin. Denny's $8 Grand Slam Slugger was the target for this morning's ride. Turned out to be a nice day. OH...Rick Butler worked over my stock seat and mucho nice difference!! After an hour, I was still sitting nicely...not squirming. So thanks Mr. Butler!!

Hi Brian, I'm relatively new here so not knowledgeable enough to address all your issues. BUT, can tell you there is a ton of answers covering each issue you have....just need to search the forums. Lots of advice, experience and pictures available. One cylinder: pull plug and check for spark, check carb diaghram for leaks, check wires....if the computer is the issue, take it apart and check for broken caps,etc.. Check coil wires. Cracked fairing is easy to repair. ABS plastic can be "welded" with a simple soldering iron and patience. You can order ABS plastic sheets or sticks on-line. The 1st generation bikes are fairly easy to work on...once you get the hang of how they come apart. The engines are pretty much bullet proof as well....! I'm sure others will chime in...and welcome to the neighborhood!

For the past few years, I've been finding an amazing number of bolts, washers and nuts at ACE. Stainless, metric and so on. I no longer head to the dealer first....ACE down the street has been good to me!! Two scoots and a sailboat. Yep!

1989 Venture Royale with 32K miles. Very clean. $2200.

Go for it, Boss. I'lld eal with the changes with a smile...knowing we are moving on into new and better things!

Jim, Glad you both will be OK! Prayers Up for fast healing! And yes, you did fine... david

Sounds great! Prayers Up! david

Yikes! We can always get another scoot, but body parts are not that easy to replace! Glad you are OK! Wishing you a speedy recovery and then the fun of finding another ride or repairing yours!! God Bless... david

Richard, Sorry I missed this post earlier. I was in Phoenix this weekend with my 89 VR. I could have stopped by and checked it out... david

I'm going to Phoenix this weekend. No buggies around there..at least the kind we are supposed to find. Dreading the traffic...after the peace and quiet of Green Valley! Suck it up, David...you leave in 45 minutes!

Ice cream! Makes sense to me......!! Good news Jeff....

See if this works for you... http://www.wikihow.com/Flash-a-Phone david

LOL! I can imagine! Yea, ch 20 ish would be better for range, but to many truckers out there stick around the ch's 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 area...and using their linear amps, make a mess out of the rest of us trying to communicate. A buddy of mine and I were on 22 until we hit I-20....geesh...so much noise I had the squelch almost all the way on. I think we'll try 29....that way if I do miss a Venture going by, maybe they'll yell out... Off to Phoenix this weekend....breakfast in Wickenburg on Sunday, and play around the Valley on Saturday!

I was just going to ask...guess it's official: 29 Thanks guys from 2009! david

Yikes! Prayers the healing goes well!

Glad to hear your scoot is running well! Good job!

Please...more info. I'm looking for new pipes as well. Mine are old and not looking so hot.

Actually sounds very good! So what's available for the 1st Gen?
