  1. There are six of us heading from Windsor to Colorado on the 9th of Aug and intend to take 3 or 4 days getting there, we have 3 weeks to explore the state and would like to get some info on camp grounds in the N, central and SE. We will be doing the Northern rides, then down to the SE. There are a couple of camp grounds that seem pretty good, one around Dolores...Priest Gulch....and Durango...Riverside Resort& RV....any help or suggestions that anyone may have would be appreciated. Ian
  2. Welcome to the site, you will find everyone very helpful here if you have any questions about the maintenance of your bike and they can't be answered on here, then there is no answer. Visit often. Ian
  3. Great job, it looks fantastic. Ian
  4. Glad you guys are having a great time, did you manage to get any prospecting done? Get the frying pan out and get some swishing done on the banks of a river, you never know what you may dig up. Ride safe Ian & Pat
  5. Great Pics Al, It was good to see you again. Ian
  6. It was nice to meet you Monty, there's alot of people that I didn't get to meet and that happens when you get so many people in a 1 or 2 day event, the more times you go the better it gets. Like you said you were a very busy man and doing an excellent job from what I could see, maybe on the next one you'll get to socialize a bit more. This is a really good crowd and I don't think anyone would knowingly try to give the impression of being unfriendly or aloof. Would they!!!! Ian
  7. Nice Pics Steve, it was good to see you and Irene again. Ian
  8. Thanks Don & Eileen for sharing your home and hospitality with an ever growing Venture family. And to the Venture family, you're an awsome bunch!!!

  9. This had to have its own Thread!!! [ATTACH]46640[/ATTACH] Ian
  10. The scenery looks brilliant out there Gary, I'm sure you both are having a good time, though the weather seems a little cool. Its supposed to go into the 90's here on the weekend, gonna be a beautiful ride down to Don's. Stay safe guys. Ian & Pat
  11. The Comfort Inn is $62.95 plus tax which is not bad at all. See you there. Ian
  12. You guys should know better than to mention the R... word, don't even think of it.
  13. Check this site out, they have the E3's and the Venom's, If you have someone in the states you could get it shipped to these seem to be a good price.

  14. Gary, Randy...gunkylump...and I are supposed to meet up with Carbon 1 at exit 15 off I75 Fri morning, depending on what time you are leaving...we will be around 8/ 8:30am...we could hook up, we are looking to stay off the super slab also. Ian
  15. Pat and I should be good to go, can't speak for Randy...gunkylump...or Beth, but I'm sure they would go along with it to. Ian
  16. There are alot of us ``camping`` at the Comfort Inn Howard, so you`ll have plenty of company. As Squidley said most of us cancelled when some of the guys were getting the run around, so they can insert their rooms where the sun don`t shine. Ian
  17. Count us both in, looking forward to it. Its gonna be great to see everyone again. Ian & Pat Hey TJ, we are probably going to hook up with Carbon One on Fri at the same exit...15.... as last year... off I75....it would be nice to join up again and anyone else going from Michigan or Ontario is welcome. Ian
  18. Hope you guys have a great trip, stay safe and we'll see you when you get back. Ian & Pat
  19. Used the hospital bottle when we camped out in Nova Scotia last year, though the neck of the bottle was a little small....lol. Ian
  20. This is not motorcycle related but I think its important that people know about these particular device's that some sicko's have been producing. I'd hate for some kids to get ahold of one of these things. See the video at the bottom of the article in Snopes. http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/bottlebomb.asp Ian
  21. We are going to camp at the Comfort Inn, don't have to worry about hook ups or pond monsters. Ian
  22. Did that last year, beautiful scenery on the Cabot trail, did Peggy's Cove, Halifax and Lunenburgh. Next year one of the guy's I ride with is retiring and his dream is to do New Mexico, so we are going to have an all guy run down through the Appellations cross through Texas into NM, may do the Grand Canyon, carry on out and do the Pacific Coast hwy up to BC then back across Canada home. We figure about 2 mths to do the trip, lots of male bonding...lol...can't wait. Ian
  23. I guess that means its open season on bikers, that is a disgusting verdict. Ian

    Surrender

    I to watched the finale of the series Pacific and did not know that it was based on some actual marines, it was quite moving to see the pictures of the men portrayed in the movie and could not imagine what they went through. Ian

    Surrender

    I know that we have many active and retired military personnel on this site and I thought that this might be a piece of history that may intereset you. Ian http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=vcnH_kF1zXc&feature=player_embedded This is the official film made of the surrender ceremony of the Japanese to McArthur in Tokyo Bay Sept 1945, with the actual voice of the General. Apparently this has never been shown to the general public before.
