Dan does your light have the screw that clamps the ring together or the one that goes up through the bottom?
-
She will be at the IR, with me.
Of course it is 42 years later. -
My beloved Pontiac Grand Am of 14 years has passed away! It was not a pretty passing, it was very messy. She started to bleed slowly at first, I tried to patch her up but to no avail. It got worse, first a little moan then a groan the a blood crude-ling scream and she bleed out and it was over. Just like that, one moment we where happily cruising along then she was gone. I suspiciously think my wife was behind this, she has always been jealous of our relationship.
No sooner had she passed and the wife went out and bought a 2014 Chrysler 200!!! I HATE CHRYSLER'S!!!
How could she!!! I'm going to keep a close eye on my bike's! Who knows!! She might replace them with an HD!!! Sorry to hear that you had to bury the Grand AM. I have a 2000 that my son drives and when it dies I will bring it back as I have a replacement motor and tranny in the shop for that purpose.

Glad every thing turned out OK. It could have been a very bad accident. OH yeah how did the wedding go? Congratulate the bride and groom for me will you.
-
Maybe you could work on some metal lowers.
What lowers are you talking about? Got any PIcs?
-
I am with Great white on this one. I think it is beyond fixing. I am pretty good at metal work and a fair hand at body work also. I would toss it and find another one in better shape.
-
Why do you have to replace it? Can it be redone. There are people that do a great lob on our seats.
-
I have a set of the sealed beam driving lights off my bike. I am still using my headlight visor but not the ones for driving or turn signal light visors. I do not think you can but the headlight visor without getting the hole set.
-
Thank you Orlin I do hope you can make it here next year. I think you would enjoy the riding in this area as much as I would enjoy coming to your area.
-
Where is the site to look at these things?? Any chance of buying parts for them? I'm thinking these are what I have on my 99 and need a set of visors and one ring.
Dan I do have a set of rings and visors. Send me your address and I will put them in the mail to you. If you want to call me my # 304-261-8663.

Dan I have a set of rings and I think I have a set of visors too. I will check this morning to see and I will let you know.

First of all I want to thank all the members that took the time and interest to vote. I will try my best to have a great International. I am not very good at making speeches like Old Puc so I will end this for now but there is more to come.
-
Thanks Gary I will be getting in touch with you.
-
Thank you Puc, you did a good job.

Diamond-R Accessories was making them. Not sure they still do though. If it wasn't for my wife I would not be riding today. I had a crash in 72 and didn't want anything to do with bikes. After we got married she wanted to go for a ride while visiting my brother and talked me in to it.
-
I would look for the 4 1/2" lights from Yamaha. You can get them in sealed beam or H-3 bulb. and they are easy to change to LED if you would like to go that way. I have the lights from a Road Star on my RSV with Trucklight Phase 6 LEDs. They are bright.
-
That "Area" is a pretty good ride thru some hills that can get ya lost real quick!!!
Dan you of all people should know that all roads lead to almost heaven WV. All jokes aside we will have a few good guides for this rally that knows the area very well. If you take off on your own just do not turn on to a dirt road. You may get lost or stuck.
-
I have not voted yet. I volunteered to host the IR for the simple reason that the last three have been in a close area and if WI. would get the vote it would be four with in 938 miles of each other. I would try to go to it any where at any time it is held other than Jan. in NY.

I don't know if the same gov is still in office but when we went there, the govr was openly welcoming bikers to WV for the riding, they were redoing a lot of the roads to make them more open to bikers. they have a good web site,

I always like for someone from the area to helps out, they can show you more places that you may miss and places to avoid.
SLOW ROLL, it's your turn to show us around your area!! LOL!!
You got it. You make it up here and I will show you roads that most riders avoid but don't know what they are missing.

My whole thing was were am I picking my wife up at what airport. Her time restraints, she can fly in do the tour and ride home with me.
There is a small air port in Elkins, WV but your best bet would be to fly into Clarksburg,WV. it is about 2 hours away.
-
Thanks Puc.

Less than 24 hours to VOTE HERE: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?109666-Run-Off-VOTING-for-2016-International-Rally-Location
He could not have said it any better even if he had you putting words in his mouth Puc. Good job. OH BYW you said 24 hours. I think it is more like 48.
-
Don if you or anyone would like to come to this area to ride for a couple days during the summer months I would be happy to meet up and show you some of the roads. I am only about three hours from there and I grew up riding those roads.
-
You will like the stretch from Roanoak VA. to Davis,WV. So here is a little heads up. The stretch from Davis WV.to Wardinsville WV. is a new four lane that they are working on at this time. It should be complete by next fall.
Of course it is 42 years later.

Yes Puc Canaan valley is on the edge of Monongahela National Forest with a few state parks in the area. I would not advise you to pull off on some gravel road and through up your tent, you may be in someone's driveway.
I know you would say that you were 
and 
and beg to stay.
