  1. Sorry to hear anyone is out of work. I'm still working but with a 20% pay cut. Once this thing is over if pay is not returned to where it was pretty quickly I'll be on the market. I've had only 4 Full Time jobs in 35 + years and have not been with out some form of a job since I started delivering papers as a boy. Counting my blessings at the moment and wish all here a strong recovery.
  2. Ram x Mount for me too.
  3. I don't call it anything other than a scam. 1.2 billion went to various government agencies and things like Museums. I won't put down my real feelings as I don't want to be the cause for a thread to be removed.
  4. My parents only owned Cast Iron until I was in my teens then they got some non-stick. They were gone within a few months. Personally my wife had a good set of steal pans which we used forever but always had issues with sticking. About 20 years ago I went to an estate sale and there was this old nasty rusted cast iron 12" skillet. The lady only knew her dad had it his whole life. He just hadn't used it for a very long time and it sat in his garage. I bought it for 50 cents, best buy ever. Cleaned it up, seasoned it and started using it. It has been great. Only issue I had was getting it too hot once which forced a heavy cleaning and seasoning it again. When I cook any type of ground meat I always add bacon grease to the pan first. This helps a lot. I also use strained clean bacon grease when I do any steaks as I just like how they come out. I also like liver and onions, in cast iron man oh man. yum. No I'm wanting that even for breakfast.
  5. Do you have a pic of something you would like to see. I've only had trunks on the '06 Venture I had for about 7 years nd the SVTC. Maybe we could design something.
  6. I changed mine on an '06 with out issue. I did not have to take the exhaust off but the bottom bolt required the use of a Ball Hex bit for the flexibility. Something like these which I used a T handle with them. https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-drive-sae-long-reach-ball-head-hex-socket-set-7-pc-67885.html
  7. I've only run Nexans during the last 10 years. That's all I'd be willing to testify to . I bought the SVTC a year ago. I just put on a second MC tire on it after 13K miles. My next tire will probably be a run flat CT.
  8. Amen!
  9. I think you really want this:
  10. Screwed up? Nah, just being human. The situation was human. Some stand around and gawk others jump in and help. Glad you and most here classify in the latter.
  11. I thought they were introed in late 82, kind of like the 64 1/2 Mustang. That 1st gen is what made me fall in love with the Venture heritage. I was 16 when they first appeared in a dealership where I would get parts for my '81 400. I turned 17 in November. The dealer wouldn't let me test ride it because I was only 16.
  12. I too have started with season 1 ep 1. Only 6 or 7 in though as I'm one of the few still in the office and not working from home. So far it's an interesting watch. You can tell she is somewhat new to the whole VLog thing. It will be even more interesting to see how she adapts and changes.
  13. I had a wobble at 90-95mph. I bumped the pressure to 36 psi and it was smooth to 100. I ran 75 - 80 on the highways regularly.
  14. I purchased this for my '06: Nexen SB802 165/80 R15 It matched the site tables on https://darkside.nwff.info/?p=tires
  15. I've seen this one from every one of my team.
  16. here's the thread where Freebird talks about his. https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?137623-mods-so-far&p=1044635#post1044635
  17. Unfortunately I am too short for any road pegs I've seen so far. I've been looking at the Jac-Knife pegs as a solution but haven't pulled the trigger yet. These connect to the foot board.
  18. Good morning VentureFar. I know the Sena system has a wireless adapter, do you know if hey would work with a PackTalk Bold series. We use these in the group rides but I would like to have full connectivity to the SVTC systems also.
  19. Did you look under the settings / audio output that your default is all checked? It will then auto switch when a headset is plugged in.
  20. I replace my clutch using the Barnett spring replacement set. Did it in my garage. I don't mind working on stuff but would never classify myself as a gearhead. I did have my son who is a mechanic close by for comfort but it was super easy in my opinion. Go for it.
  21. OH NOOO!!! They even survived the Zombie Apocalypse. Also don't forget about the Waffle House index https://www.wafb.com/2020/03/24/waffle-house-closes-locations-across-us/
  22. Interesting. Not much of a gearhead but how can this engine be applied to bikes? We already have Big Bore V-Twins. How can this translate to 2 Cylinders vs 3 and would that even work. I get the exhaust limiters and turbo chargers. I'm a little miffed on the variable valves benefit to a bike though?
  23. Self Medicating while Sanitizing from within.
