[was wonder'n about another gremlin bell order]

Don if you place an order I will take 6 of them.

[Don't want to hijack the thread so I'll start a new one.]

The worst rifle that I owned was a Savage 7MM Mag. no muzzle break and a very hard recoil pad. My brother and I took it to the range to site it in. I shot it about 6 times and said I was done with it, my shoulder was bruised and I could not move my arm. He shot it 4 times and would not shoot it again. I sold it the next day.

[This might give you bad headache if you forget your helmet.]

I don't think they will drive that road again.

[Rod Knocking!]

That sounds like the best thing to do. The Scag mower that I have had a 22 hp on it. But when I got it from a friend he had bought the 25hp to put on it. He has a lawn service contract with the county schools board so he gets a great discount on lawn equipment . I an trying to buy the Scag Turf Tiger he has and let my son have this one.

[I really want this rifle....]

Condor I just checked the link you Posted a few minutes ago and the last bid was $3,900. :mo money::mo money:

[Rod Knocking!]

The 25 H Koler courage that I have was bought new two years ago and I put it on the mower that I have. If they quit making them it had to be very recently.

[Rod Knocking!]

I have the same motor on my Scag zero turn but it is a 25 horse. I mow about 3 acers for the past two years. No problems yet. I am not sure if they make a different motor for commercial use or not.

[wel it's mine, and already in the shop]

Yes the carbs will probably need cleaned if it has set for long periods and not run by the PO. Mine is an 03 RSMV with Barons 4-2-4 Pipes and have not done any thing to the carbs. I do most of my own wrenching and have 95,000 on the clock. When you get it running right it will be almost trouble free for many miles of smiles. If you have any questions about the bike don't be shy and post it here and someone will give you an answer.

[Tomorrow I Ride my 1st Venture TC]

Glad you finally got your TC. Now enjoy it.

[wel it's mine, and already in the shop]

Welcome to the site. These bikes are on the lean side from the factory changing the mufflers should not cause the lean carbs. Sounds like it just needs a carb sync and ran. Adjusting the PMS screws will help with the lean carbs. Add some Seafoam to the gas will clean the carbs and keep it running great for a long time. I add a 1/4 can to mine every 3rd fill up.

[Who won the Ace High Leathers Whale Tail Tank Bib at MD]

You do know that anything found is yours after 45 days if not clamed.

[Who won the Ace High Leathers Whale Tail Tank Bib at MD]

Don now that the owner of tank bib has come forward. Did you find the owner of the flashlight?

[National ice cream day]

LOL! I don't have to go out and get some. The wife bought a bunch last night so I had some for a midnight snack and more after breakfast this morning.

[Bonneville Speed]

Am I missing something? Amazon wants to charge me $2.99 to watch this video or otherwise signs me up for Amazon Prime, for which I believe there is a monetary charge. If I had just clicked [watch video] without paying attention to the fine print, my credit card would have been charged and I would have been signed up for a recurring monthly charge.

 

I must have missed it also. I do not have or want Amazon Prime.

[Final Road trip update]

Mike thanks for sharing your trip and am glad it was a safe one.

[Wny rally signup]

There may be others besides myself that would really like to see/read some final answers concerning some things related to the the new Venture including things like the performance of it in it's "Sport Mode" (there have been rumors spread now that going into Sport Mode engages a turbo, changes the cam timing, remaps both fuel and ignition which increases the Horsepower from that of a 70ish horse 88 inch stock HD to that closer to the 120 horse V-Rod performance with enough umpth to lift the front wheel in the 1st three gears and break the back tire loose in 3rd gear just by rolling on the throttle) which has been claimed to wildly turn the beast into a muscle bike but also rumored to be nothing more than a throttle to throttle body ratio change. Also, IMHO, it would also be outstanding to read that someone has actually taken the bikes tempature with a infrared temp gun as there have been reports both ways that the 3rd Gen is actually cooler than any water cooled touring bikes sitting in traffic back ups when the ambients are above 100 degrees even though the other touring scoots engines (like the Gold Wing) are covered/shrouded with plastic all while others are still reporting that the bike definitely has heat issues in the same way HD and Polaris's Indian do..

All that said,, I wonder if those attending the NY Rally will be allowed to actually ride it and do some real life genuine comparisons or will the bike be treated like the demo's were at Sturgis last year when the demo riding was very monitored and looking for/asking for answers was not encouraged...

Just thinking out loud here but I wonder if members here KNEW that they were going to actually be able to do some actual comparing of this new scoot (as a group) that the NY Rally may just see record attendance

 

Why don't you come to the rally and do your own test of the TC? I will bring my heat temp gum for you to use.

[Third gen at WNY RALLY]

I am glad your hard work on the rally is coming to gather for the attendees. The new bike for test rides will make some very happy.

[I really want this rifle....]

I do have one ugly shotgun that my son gave to me but I can't post pics. It is an old Mossberg bolt action that I was going to build a super shoot gun off the action. That all ended when I had shoulder surgery in 2011.

[Archery discussions]

They did that here in WV. a couple years ago. Before it was only legal for handicap people. In Maryland they have hunting areas just for people with a handicap.

[A deer almost ruined my day]

That is close. Same thing happened to me at the Ill. Rally a couple years ago.

[I really want this rifle....]

I like to shoot also but don't shoot the two 700's that much as I have others for shooting in the hot months. Like I said in the other post, If you decide to rebuild your 7MM I have a stock I will give to you.

[Archery discussions]

Jeff I use to shoot field archery at our Izaac Walton club many years ago before 3D archery became the norm. I still use a bow for hunting and enjoy it more than with a rifle.

[I really want this rifle....]

Jeff is your 7MM factory or custom? I have a synthetic stock here that I took off my 7MM because the wife liked the wood stock better. As for grouping shots at 100 yds. I have two Rem.700 that do less than 0.600 at 100. both are factory. I did pillar bed both guns and reload all of my bullets. The 7MM does 0.528 and the 300 does 0.375. I do not shoot them at all during the summer months. Only a few shots to check scopes before hunting season.

[I really want this rifle....]

David I have no idea of the gun laws in Canada but I use to shoot sporting clays and trap on a weekly event at a few clubs near me. A lot of the shooters used O/U but I had a Rem.1100 with a modified chock that I got for $125.00. It looked like someone used it for a boat paddle for a while. I took it apart and had all the metal parts blued and refinished the stock myself. This was done in the mid 80s and I still have it. If I was to start shooting today and had to buy an O/U it would be a Ruger Red label.

[I really want this rifle....]

Very nice gun Jack. I almost had one like it but was talked into a Weatherby 30-378 mag. I should have gone with the Western but I am happy with the 30.
