  1. Freebird is right. Never hurts to draw attention to the site regardless where on hears of us. Talked to a fellow Saturday up at St. Ignace, Mi and told him about the site here. Which reminds me I need to get some business cards printed up Larry
  2. Good one Jay :rotf: And an even better comeback to Eck. Larry
  3. Glad to hear they came home safe Monty. Thanks to them for their service. Larry
  4. Welcome to the retirees club Bob. You'll still be plenty busy enough and will at times wonder how in the world you ever got anything done while punching a time clock. As said before your time out time now is your reward for all those years working for others. Congratulations and enjoy your retirement. Larry
  5. Nice very nice house but moved in? Seems there's a lack of furniture in them pics. Larry
  6. Calendar is marked. This will most likely be my last ride of the year. I'm having an Cochlear implant done a few days later so by the time that heals enough to get a helmet on my riding season here is next to over. Larry BTW: We had a great time attending last year
  7. Best wishes and a speedy recovery from here. Larry & Joyce
  8. I'm going to pass on this after all. They sure do look good thou. Larry
  9. Good work there, lots of good old elbow grease on your part too. Looking forward to seeing it done as I'm sure you are too. Larry
  10. I've had a Stebel horn with no hose attached for 5 years and no problems with anything getting in there. It still works as good as the day it was installed, thou some of the "chrome" has faded and worn off. Larry
  11. I know where you're going there since I too am restoring and sorting out minor problems getting my "new to me" 83 Standard back into tip top shape. Yesterday I replaced the thermostat and all of the "O" Rings between the pump and bypass valve. Still dealing with rear brakes but hopefully that'll be solved soon too. Am I hooked too? And I haven't even ridden this bike yet. No insurance or tags yet. I doubt I will do either till spring Larry
  12. Be sure the steering bearings are checked as well. If the truck hit hard enough it may have dented a braring race. You can check that by lifting the front wheel off the ground and then turning the handlebars left and right while feeling for any rough dented spots. Gotta hate idiots like that thou. Larry
  13. Cool pics. Thanks for sharing them. Larry
  14. ya Old Goat
  15. My condolences to you and your family as well. May your Dad rest in peace. Cherish those memories of him that you all had over the years. Larry
  16. Any luck? There is a big Yamaha dealer located in Houghton. Maybe there's others closer. Larry
  17. I'm interested as well. I have 2 switches that need installing. Larry

  19. Happy Birthday Bob. Any new birthday is a good one. Keep em coming friend. Larry
  20. I'd completely forgotten about building you a special adapter for the Pit Bull jack. I didn't record the changes I made for you so would you mind answering my pm to you so that any future customers with a Pit Bull jack can get the proper size adapter from me? Larry
  21. 83 Standard. Looking into cleaning up a rats nest of wiring and would like to have some input on whether I should eliminate the cb/intercom system. If I do I would add in a conventional am/fm radio in its place for those times the wife might want to hear some tunes. For me I'd never use either of them due to poor hearing. Considering the bike I thought keeping it simple would be the way to go. Thoughts pro & con are welcome. Larry
  22. Here ya go : http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser=161 Larry
  23. Bob you'll litterly be riding by my area going to your sisters. If your're hooking up with Jay I'll be there too.Have a safe trip. Larry
