I like the idea of the "fancy V" someone here long ago told us what font name made that fancy V but I do not recall it. And I am also supporting the notion that all Ventures are not Royales' and many are 1300s as was clarified earlier. But and awesome starting point, I am sure there has been much work put into it and it is great you are doing this..... yes I will take a few when they are done.

If I am going to ride all the way down there it will not be just for one day so I will be around checking the sights out so join me or show me some of them if another day is better with you, I will drink Starbucks in any country with anyone anytime I can. I spent a week end with my wife in Seattle a couple weeks ago and loved it... cannot wait to see more of the area. ooh and I hope know-one will be too upset if I show up on my V-Strom not my Venture.

What about your insurance companies? What do they say or do they have a say... insuring a person that wears a helmet and a person that does not cannot be the same liability in my eyes. Yes helmets are mandatory here, and our government is our insurance company as well for the most part. If I crash my motorcycle and end up in hospital for days... weeks... months I do not get a bill to pay when I leave. I may not have a motorcycle anymore depending on "fault" I may or may not receive personal injury payout again due to fault, but I do not have to sell my first born and the house we live in to pay the bill because they say wear a helmet and I did. Just wonder about the States and insurance.

Only thought... other than thank you..... is can we get a members name put on the picture when it is showing.... maybe even a location if they would provide one. I love the screen saver Don shared earlier but I have no idea who anyone is in the pics or where they are.

Thanks Don that is Fantastic! Yes GAWildKat it would be fantastic to have a new version as well! It would be great to get pictures of members and their bikes that we don't all get to meet to display and put some faces to the names for us long distant folks.

Never seen that....... did you win

If you can make it as late as mid April... after the 14th I can be there 90% chance.

Clive when you are finished with yours and have learned all the things not to do, I have a new stator in the mail headed for my 86.

Heal fast my good man and all the best to you.

How do you break an ice cream machine ? I think this question needs to be directed at BIG TOM ! Over use maybe, I guess. I do recall the same problem up here with McDs, I am allergic to milk products now so have not tried in a few years, but recall going to get ice cream for the kids when they were small, 50/50 at best. :stickpoke::stickpoke:

Naked pictures are always best..... now they are going to be spread all over the internet with old men drooling over them!

2 for me please

Oooh a pipe hanger...... Been in piping trades 30 years, you had me.

...... and we have not had a flake of snow here yet !

You gotta love this place ! to all.

confusion here???????

I agree that plugs should be used only in emergency just as liquids should be used just and only as an emergency repair to safely get you to home or a shop for proper repairs.

Well Mt Washington Ski Resort has more than most Ski areas in Canada but that is about an 8hr round trip to get some. I think Big Tom has all of that he really needs for this winter, I will work on the I C.

.... my new Venturerider.Org Tee shirt that just arrived! I owe BIGTOM a BIG Ice Cream for it!

short answer..... NO I bought a set of Dunlop E3 tires for my Venture and when delivered they were 3 yrs old. I checked with Dunlop and finally got the q-card answer that they recommend every m/c tire be removed from service after 7 years from date code. How the bike is stored... indoor outdoor sun freezing etc may shorten that but no quick cure no.

There are a few of us out here riding year round and loving it. I am in Victoria, we have a few others here and up island, Salt Spring, Vancouver. Welcome aboard :wel_ani3Tay:

just to clarify... it is a 6 ft splash radius from men standing, this does not account for poor aim or drowsiness. just saying............ the things we had to learn in plumbing 101 you know.

I guess I am a little late to step in and say..... a penny for your thoughts on this! Don can we now get a Canadian Nickel to replace the 2 cents smiley please?

Green slime is for emergency use only. I have a slime kit for when I am on a ride away from home just in case. I also have a plug kit I carry but slime if I need to slime

Unlike the ultra modern second gen with high quality casset decks!
