No pics the last 2 days & we are taking refuge in the rv, from the thunderstorms today / tonight.
-
Grump & I stopped in at Yooper's, on our way to Ontario, prior to Big Tom's & your place.
-
The Warden also made sure, that our mugshots were taken too.
-
Tom went looking for his windshield cover yesterday (to show us) & he couldn't find it.... Jonas, did you pack something extra extra large, before departing????

Brake pedal return spring
Rocket replied to dthomso1's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yes they do Gary, I do orders with them on my larger $$$ parts orders. As I find it much cheaper than, doing it locally, even with shipping & customs. -
Good to see, you doing things yourself. There is some hope yet......
-
Brian, have you progressed past changing out a light bulb yet????
-
At Big Tom's tonight.... Gave Saddlebum a call on my way through his area, but got the answering machine.
-
You mean these things........ Also there is one of a bike trailer that is very pricy, but thought Mini would like the look of it. Ran across it & its owner just outside of Aurora early this week. Heading south of the border, tomorrow.

Grump & I have been attracting attention, in various places on our road trip. Most of the time it has been the scoots, but sometimes it has been the trailer in tow. I think I gave the sheriff, that we met on route to Packidaho's, a few ideas for his 84. I have only seen 2, out of the other 5 1st gens that I know of, in the lower Vancouver Island area, so far. I have not yet seen Camos, Rande, or Doug W's scoots.

Max speed, is comparable to a farm tractor...... :rotf:

Final Countdown of Cody Trailer Tickets - 2011
Rocket replied to Lone Eagle's topic in Watering Hole
So that leaves, $25 for the other 3 tickets, or $10 each, one by one. With Freebird bidding $25 for the very last ticket. Do we have another bid? I am sure the Committee, will hold the winning bidder, to the amount posted, for the last ticket. -
Stuff I remember, with no time frame. Not all the older stuff is, down & out. But I'm in for 9.

Which vendor for a stator??
Rocket replied to reddevilmedic's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Remember with Buckeye, the posted price is the "discounted price" + a $50. core charge is added on. I have installed 2 of the Rick's Motorsport Electric stators in Cody in 2009, for a couple of bikes at the Venture Roundup. They were overnighted in from DennisKirk & I also had 2 sets of gaskets overnighted in to the Cody Yammi dealer, the cost worked out to be $200 per bike including the overnight shipping + oil of course. Last year I had one shipped to Grump, for his 750 Nighthawk, also from DennisKirk. The Electrosport stators are junk & someone in Quebec was shipping those ones, to unsuspecting buyers. -
Grump & I should be heading up that direction on Thursday, for through Saturday.

Looks like we will have 3 visitors today, Evan, Dogman & Chabicheka, coming from the Toronto area. Evan dosen't like the forecast for later this week, thus todays trip over here. Grump & I got back in from Aurora (slightly north of Toronto), a little after midnight this morning, after a trip to another cousin's place. I wonder if they could be possibly be considered the Ontario version of the 3 stooges. I wouldn't think so, as Charlie isn't amongst them. I figure the most likely combo, would be Saddlebum, Mother & E-fishin-C, but Mother has been too hard to contact, for some time now.

Going bananas, at Big Tom's.....
-
There will be some kind of Buzz about this later, when more see it.
-
As of now, we will be using Oshawa as a base of Ops, for while in the Ontario area. Looks like we will be back in the Camp Borden & Creemore area later this week, including the Creemore farmers market next Sat (he is trying to find a few people, from about 50 yrs ago). He also wants to see the Museum at Borden & I have a few people to look up on Base. If we are going to do a Ont clan meet, I would prefer a location, north of the greater Toronto area. As I do not want to ride through there again (bad enough the first time) & I figure later next Sunday afternoon, would be best.

I'm giving you all the "help" you need in this thread, as this is the best thread for it.....
-
What do you mean gettin old, he is old, but not as old as the OLD HOOTER.
-
Too bad for you, that Gary broke her of that, she likes to run now.... He will need to fall over once, at least every 50 miles while riding (on a good day), to achive the OLD HOOTER's very low standards. I seem to recall that Bubber is better than that, on keeping the scoot on it's wheels. It is my understanding, that 9er domestic, can't handle that long of a ride, to & from Cody.

I had unlocked my new phone before heading stateside & got a prepaid sim card while in gary's area. Prior to the change in sim card, the phone was good for "emergency use only". I have my normal sim card in it now with being in Ontario, but once I head south again, the other sim card will go back in.

That would also give him something to do at work, aside from reading the posts on here.....
