Nice. I considered a Voyager while I was looking for my 1st Venture. Sorry to hear about the SVTC.

I have a guard given to me by Kybigmac’s widow, so leave me out also. Still on the 07 with a matching Timeout trailer, plan to ride it into the ground. If it goes down I’ll replace it with another 2nd Gen. I have a cabinet full of spare parts and a pretty good knowledge of the 2nd gens so I have no incentive to start over learning another bike.

Only 157 until WKY. Y’all coming?

Never got into cigars but made a lot of $$$ back in the 80’s working in the tobacco fields. Most of the tobacco grown here is dark fire cured for snuff but there was quite a bit of burley going to the cigar industry. Teenagers back then worked the fields for car and gas money, now it’s all mega farms and migrant workers. Hard dirty work but paid well.

WKY Rally June 5-9 2024. We’ll be based from the Kenlake State Park/ Land Between the Lakes National wildlife preserve. Lodging nearby including campgrounds, Kenlake Lodge and cabins, and multiple nearby smaller motels all within a 5 minute ride from the site. Planning rides Wednesday thru Friday with Saturday being less riding and more visiting/eating to catch up with everyone we haven’t seen in a while. Possible tours of Hannigan Motorsports factory and/or Boss Hoss trike factory if yall are interested. Rides will be in Ky, Tennessee, and Southern Illinois. A ferry ride across the Ohio River to Cave in Rock State Park (you may remember that from Tom Sawyer) and Garden of the Gods in Illinois. Maybe another ferry across the Tennessee River to Boss Hoss. Other rides to be planned.

Merry Christmas to all.

Sorry to hear that. Prayers up.

Yes, it’s a go. I just had my meeting with the neurosurgeon and I’m putting off my back surgery until after the rally.

I’m on my third Nexen. Changed the first out at 20k when I installed the VMax pumpkin, it wasn’t worn out but I changed it while the wheel was off. Punctured the second one with 15k on it.

Prayers up.!!!

Hope y’all got your bellies as full as mine and spending time with the family. Setting here stuffed full and rooting for the Cowboys.

To quote @skydoc_17: “Those are rare as chicken lips”. I’ve only ever seen a couple sets.

Any place that sells hitch balls should have them. The lower the capacity the smaller the bolt.

Make sure you use quality kits. The cheap imported kits on Amazon or EBay are known to fail.

They are OEM. There is some rust on the bottom chrome but not visible on the bike. I’ll get some pics and a quote from UPS for shipping cost.

Carb cleaning/rebuild with new float needles and seats, change the oil. @eusa1offers a carb swap rebuild program also.

Check your oil before starting. If oil level is rising or smells like gas do not start. Sounds like a carb float is sticking, if so it’ll hydrolock the cylinders which is the best way to break a connecting rod.

I’ll inspect it tomorrow. Didn’t really look at it when I stripped it.

Glad you’re doing better, hope the wife has an easy recovery also. Some of the guys at the firehouse tested positive for up to a month after getting over it.

Check with me next week. I’m scrapping out an 07. I think it has OEM pipes.

Just posted on a FB PAGE.

@steamer replied to Eykamp’s post that he talked to Deb, they expect a full recovery from a minor stroke.

Mike Eykamp posted on FB that Debbie let him know Joe had a stroke yesterday. I don’t know any details.

I don’t know who it is but I know who it ain’t.

I just looked at your location, $125 and I’ll deliver it to Fulton. I’m in Murray.
