I’m trying to decide between the bike or boat today.
-
I was too busy raising kids and working two jobs to ride back then. Wish I hadn’t missed those years of VR.

This is a family friendly site!!! 4 letter words such as SNOW and WORK don’t belong here. 🤪

Lithium Battery
RDawson replied to Charles Edenfield's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I’m far from knowledgeable on the subject but have read older stator/rectifier designs won’t correctly charge LI batteries. They require an updated charging system, I don’t know where the RSV fits in that timeline. I’m gonna have to replace mine in the near future, I’ll stick with AGM as I’ve gotten 3-5 years out of each one I’ve used. -
You might check with @M61A1MECH. He builds quality plug and play light harnesses but I’m not sure about horn sets. The main goal is to run a fused hot wire from the battery through a relay to power the horn. I built my own and used the factory wires to fire the relay.

I didn’t design it, I just took the picture. 😁😁😁 we were fishing when my wife told me to look back at the bridge. I figure some UFO nut might fall for it.
-
Ha. I took that picture on a foggy morning from about 9 miles south. We were fishing when my wife noticed it looking like a UFO.
-
@Steve S you may recognize that for what it is.

I took this pic on KY Lake about a year and a half ago.

Bad Weather in Kentucky. How is it in your area?

An hour west of Steve and we have 5”. Almost a blizzard for this part of the country. -
Merry Christmas.
-
Still gotta take the Harley jabs when I can get em. Nice bike.
-
That usually comes from too much oil in the crankcase.
-
Did you use loctite to bolt in on? 😛
-
Dfitzbiz@yahoo.com. I think is correct.
-
And some are 10s when you take em home but 2s the next morning. 🤪🤪🤪

My sound effects are different though. I sound more like Rice Krispies when I’m moving.

I made the mistake of hosting the wife’s family dinner, a very small group. I seem to only be able to cook like it’s my family (35-40 people). There’s enough left over for a Venture rally supper. Now we get to go Saturday for the big one, at least we can leave the leftovers at my brother’s house.

Glad it’s not any worse. I watched Col Steve Austin as a kid, now I think a lot of us are becoming the new $6 million men. I’ve got the screws and anchors in my shoulder and a hardware store in my back according to the X-ray tech a couple weeks ago. This getting old stuff ain’t for sissies 😫
-
Hope your bellies are full and family is happy n healthy.
-
We went this morning and I think we bought half the store. Got one kid on the road now and the other coming tomorrow. We’ll have a small lunch Thursday and the big one Saturday, around 40 people at that one. I come from a large family.

Props to Bauer Tools(or Cleaning up the back 40)
RDawson replied to luvmy40's topic in Watering Hole
I don’t use my saws very often so I switched to canned Tru-Fuel. 2 year shelf life. Saws sit months at a time but fire right up. -
I’ve been watching since it went on the market. I knew the owner as kids but haven’t talked to him in over 40 years. I’m sure a lot of rubber parts will need replaced. It’ll have to go way lower before I even talk to him. I’ll probably not be really interested anyway.

RDawson replied to luvmy40's topic in Watering Hole
I bought a Dewalt cordless pole saw last spring with an 8” bar and chain. The speed of limb cutting highly impressed me, I’ll probably get the chainsaw in the near future. I use a Husqvarna 22”chainsaw now but with back surgery the lighter Dewalt for small jobs looks pretty good. -
Put a phone mount on the bars, speedo app?
