I tell you guys, Lonna's cheese cake is great no matter the flavor but her spaghetti is tops too. She's one fine cook IMHO. Those who have had both have been treated royally I say. Larry

Your loss is our loss too. Prayers going out to you & John's family. Larry

My grandson is playing in a hockey tournament in Windsor the weekend between Christmas and New Years Day. I'll try and make it a point to stop in for a vist with Gary Larry

I agree with Brad here. Now is the time to get those applications sent in. In all likelyhood you'll have it in hand before winter is over. Wife & I got ours last fall in 3 weeks . I was totaly supprised but very thankfull just the same. Man what a relief to get that done. Bottom line. GetR done NOW. Larry
-
Slow golng here as well. Life getting in the way of getting much done. Getting parts and stuff ordered and ready for installing is about all I've done except for cutting the body to fit over the rear end. just recieved all my tubing for the exhaust system this week too. Hope your hospital visit wasn't too serious. Later, Larry

Hey Jerry those are old pics. Tell us you've gotten more done than that. Larry

Got mine today. First class work there . and I can say I'm pretty happy and proud to have the bells. Thanks for your effort here Don. Larry

Got a used set of brackets I made for my bike that I've taken off since I went back to the stock pipes on my ride. Check out my ad in the classified section of 2nd gen parts & acc. Larry -
What side you need? I have a good right side one. Larry
-
No idea yet Ross. I just finished remodeling a bathroom and need to get caught up on other stuff that was passed over while doing that. It'll be a squeaker getting them made and shipped before Christmas thou. Fear not as I haven't forgotten you folks here. Larry
-
OOPS I just looked at Johns profile page and see he has a 1 gen bike. My lift adapter won't fit that model. Sorry John. Looks like someone else who has a 1st gen will need to answer your questions. Larry
-
I'll do my best to ne there again regardless of the date as well. As stated it's a blast and meeting folks from near and far is always great. Larry

John the safest way I've found to lift these bikes is using my Lift Adapter (shameless plug here) No need for the chain fall either. I never even use the safety straps that generaly come with the jacks either. As to your question of the balance point I've found it to be as a rule with a atv/mc jacks left lift arm to be aligned with the edge of the exhaust heat shield. Here's the link to my ad in the classified section - http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/69/cat/7/limit/recent/date/1156239845 Larry

Got ya covered her Greg. Remind me again whenever these get in our hands in case I forget. I'll swap out the other one if someone wants as well. I ordered 2 of them. Larry

Hannigan has been making their trikes for the Venture for a while now. Champion will soon have a model out for the Venture too. Dan's Cycle in Ohio ( http://danscyclesales.com/Mainpages/Trikes.htm ) was advertising Tri-Wings on their web pages up until recently. I see now that they've taken Tri-Wings off their web site and are now showing Champion and Hannigan trikes. Don't know if Champion sells their kits to individuals but Hannigan is strictly selling their trike conversions done thru them or authorized dealers such as Dan's Cycle. Larry

Been wondering myself lately how Gary was doing. Not as good as we would all like I suppose but still glad to see he's nearer home. That says a lot as we know the Doc's wouldn't of transported him if he wasn't up to it. Here's praying he'll continue to improve. Larry

Had a buddy hit a wild turkey once. 3 or 4 decided to cross the road as he was coming by. Missed them all but the 1. Down he went. He walked away due to him wearing heavy ride gear. (it was late fall and cold that day) but bike recieved some heavy damage to both sides of the bike. Son hit some kind of small sparrow once . That left a nice dust print on the windshield. Got his attention for sure. LOL Larry

Mine broke off coming home from Fort Collins this summer. It's covered under warranty but it'll take some time getting it as dealers have to order them. Larry
-
Took a while and a few elves lives but finally hit 888 once Going to have some fun with the kids with this one for sure. Me too . LOL Larry
-
When I looked at the Hannigan and Tri-Wing trikes I asked Hannigan if they sold kits for do it yourselfers. NOPE was their response. Have to have them or one of their authorized dealers do the install. Seiing as I'm in a budget and capable of doing my own frabrication and wrenching I passed on them. They do make a quality product thou. Larry

When I was researching a trike kit for my bike I had numerous e-mails answered by Tri-Wing and JerryM. Both were extremely helpfull at all times. Since then I've had some contact with other trikers, both here and at other web sites, and never run into anyone who wasn't willing to hand out info or encouragement on my project. I will do the same for anyone asking info from me as well. Anyhow I did purchase my kit from Tri-Wing. As to gearing of their Ford differentials they supply a 3:45 ratio. Other gears are available upon request at the time of ordering. Vic keep us up to date on that suspension set up. While the solid axle is a proven system I know that an independant one will have a better ,smoother ride. Especially for the passenger. Each ahve their advantages/disadvantages as to handling thou. Good luck with you phone call too. Larry

Not bad for a bare bones bobber trike. Got a couple buddies who would love that too but no way will they be bidding on it. Let's just say it's a out of our price range there. Would love to take it for a spin like everyone else here but don't think I'd ever want one like it. Just not enough suspension there for these old bones. It's perfect for show and tell or bar hopping but that's all IMO. I do appreciate the work, engineering and detailing of it thou. Larry

Replacement Battery Recommendation
Carbon_One replied to Floyd's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Floyd I had to replace my bikes battery last spring. and it was only 2 years old. Bought a wet cell type from Murray's Auto. They usually have em in stock too Larry -
Huh I don't think it'll be that long. If it was the Mrs would surely have something to say about getting the job at hand done. Anyhow you're cover. I'll post back here when they are available once again. BTW I have none left now as the last one I had finished was shipped this morning. Larry

Hello everyone. My post here is to let everyone know that I'll be suspending production of the Stebel horn brackets for a while. I'm in the midst of doing some home remodeling and just don't have the time or space in my garage at the moment to devote to making anymore for now. I will continue making them for as long as there's a demand for them thou, so just consider this a temporary set back till I can get back into production again Thanks to all who have purchased one to date. Larry
