NOT LONG ENOUGH.... I miss it too..., but love my GW

This posting contains my hopes, dreams and prayers for a successful outcome with a pain free recovery and 100% satisfactory results. Eck

Hummmmm........

Happy Happy ....Bubber Hope you have a great B-day.......... On another note, Knowing your background used to be in quality, would you be interested in working in Columbus, MS? Even part time? $$ plus expenses? If so, give me a P-Email or ring.. My number is two 5 six, four two nine, 86 two three Eck

Hey Tom, So glad to see you are able to post about your accident. Count your blessings... As for the wires in the rear fender, I would suggest you connect a piece of string/ wire, something strong to each wire BEFORE you pull them out of your old fender. Make a color chart as to which wire is for what.. Fish string/ wire through replacement fender and pull the old wiring through the channel as it is now. On another note, I posted a few days ago looking for you. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=82925 I am presently in Starkville, MS for the next 2 weeks consulting on a new opportunity. I heard during our discussions of this trip that I may be asked to go to RI for three weeks to do some consulting up there on another issue. As of right now, I am not sure what my schedule will be or exactly where they want my help. I also heard they may be asking me to help on another manufacturing problem in Canton, Ga. for 3 days...I agreed to do the 2 weeks here in MS for now and I agreed to go to RI & Canton if and when they need me to. I cant ride my wing right now because I have it tore down and I have my bushtec trailer torn down doing all kinds of maintenance on both from front to back on it, so I figured I would do this for now while waiting for all the parts, tires and shocks to come in. I will let you know if and when I may be coming up your way. Maybe we can meet up for that favorite drink and some VR.Org family conversation.

This is such sad news. Those people always have it bad and never get a break.

There are way to many scams and perverts that visit this site, We need to know who you are before we start emailing or calling you.

Thanks for the heads up Jeff.........I didn't even think of that..

Thanks Dan, I have seen the HF grinders before but I just never bought one. Figure why buy one now for I wont be drilling (or grinding) many things over the next 10 years anyway..... I'll be darned if I'm buying one just so the kids can fight over it when I'm gone.

I should do something like this too. I bet I have 200 drill bits and every time I need one it is dull as heck or the tip is broken or chipped. I used to sharpen drill bits on an old stone bench grinder years ago.. I wish I had a good bench grinder now.

I'm not really LOOKING for a job... However, I just agreed (yesterday) to go back to Columbus, MS for a two weeks gig ...they called and asked me to come to Columbus, MS for two weeks and then asked if I would help them out by going to Canton, GA for 3 days and then to Rhode Island for 3 weeks, so I agreed to go back to work for a little while. Heck its getting cold here and besides that, my bike is tore down at the moment sitting on a jack, because I am doing complete maintenance from front to back on it so I cant ride it anyway right now. May as well make a little extra money while it is being offered..

Many thanks go to you for your service and all that you do for this country. THANKS!

Happy Birthday Bobbie. Hope you have a great day!!!!!!!!

I would love to go too.............but I would have to get a job first.. http://www.zhangjiajietourism.us/plan-flight.html http://www.zhangjiajietourism.us/plan-accommodation.html http://www.zhangjiajietourism.us/plan-travelers.html http://www.zhangjiajietourism.us/packages.html

, I was thinking the same thing !!!!!!!!!!!

Well Jeff, I must say if I was ever going to go back to a Yamaha Venture I would jump on your bike in a heartbeat. You and I have joked for years of me being that so called beneficiary, but we both know it was all in pure fun. I know the things you have done to your bike and you always did an outstanding job. You never mickey mouse'd anything on it. Always top notch!! I also know that the one I had I loved and it too had many accessories and special things I did to it. There has never been another bike that I have looked at or rode that I liked more than my 05 RSV. With that being said, I can only recommend that you dig deep into your heart and thoughts before you do get rid of it. I had no choice since mine was totaled. You have a choice and it is one that only you my friend can make. Oh believe me, I do love my Goldwing. But we all know a Goldwing just doesn't LOOK like a motorcycle...They are great for long distance and other things but not something one would want to stare at for long..... I wish you the best in your decision. You have one beautiful bike there guy.. Absolutely beautiful.

Randy, When I had my 2nd Gen RSV, I pulled a trailer.. However I kept the rear frame (brace) bar that is removed when installing the trailer hitch. I figured, if I ever had to take my 2nd Gen to the Dealer, I would just remove the trailer hitch and install that rear frame (brace) bar back in its place and then take it to the dealer.

Feel free to give me a call at two 5 six, four 2 nine- 8 six 2 three if you need to be walked through any of it. I just did this two days ago and it is still fresh in my mind.. Asking me a week from now may be a little different...

Many thanks Steve for the tip of the hat and all but I am only one person on this site and I'm certain no matter who you would have asked they would have jumped at the opportunity to help out, or lead you to someone who could help you out. Over the past 8 years I have met so many kind hearted down to earth people because of this site, and I tip my hat to all of them.!!!!! Now as for that 60 mpg, and not have to shift to 3rd gear until about 82.576 mph (no wind)....ah...yea......maybe........

GREAT NEWS that both of you are now back at home. So glad everything went well. Oh, and Linda... when you are able to get up, give ol-Randy a poke in the side for me, and a big bear hug!!!!!! Then fix him up a good meal of baked beans...........I hear this is good advise to help massage those bruised & broken ribs.

I'm sure glad your taking care of my ride there Jeff.. Your doing a GREAT JOB at it too! It really looks nice my friend! ..........Real nice.. You keep adding stuff and you soon will have a GW like mine...

Yep, I can already picture you riding behind her in the back seat Lewis............. Thumbs up Charlene!!!!!!!!
