    Dang, that's one nice looking scoot.....

    Yep, if they are Baron's Risers they just need to be removed. It's the stock cap screws that need to be used instead of the longer ones that came with the risers.

    Planned Trip

    Went to the link. Pretty cool. Have a great trip.....

    I'm curious if he tried to use CC's from any of the other folks in your group. You may want to check to make sure. Sounds like a scam to me....

    What I can't figure out is how a Canuck refugee in Wisconsin knows how to make good Chilli??.... Now, because the other guy from Ohio has Texas roots there might be a chance he hasn't forgotten what chilli is all about.. Either way I just hope they use good beef hearts when stirring the pots.... :stirthepot: This is going to be very interesting.

    I just got this set back from Britex. Going to have the caps done also. Takes him about 20 minutes so I'll run the caps over while installing.

    Yer lucky I'm not 40 years younger. She'd trip over me every time she turned around.....

    Send Steve (SGN) a PM and see if he still has any left.

    long rides?

    Pashnit is the 'other' board I frequent since it's sorta local, and Tim, the boards maker, has done several trips like that. One of his trips to Alaska and back was the one that got me interested in Ventures in the first place. A 1stGen was his bike on that trip. Since then, he's switched to the Suzuki Hyabusa's. Very talented writer and his stories are always enjoyable.

    But blue looks like it's going slower... It's the 'stelth' color...

    Did you know that Red makes the bike look like it's going 10mph faster than it actually is...

    Ponch has been making center stands for 2ndGens. He built one for me and then I ran into a Rivco on Ebay for cheap. Sold the 'Ponch' to another member.

    In all this 'neener..neener' about the speeds of different Venture colors, notice the Golds don't jump into the fray very often...if at all. That's because they don't need to broadcast about how fast they are... They quietly know that nothing else can keep up, and are comfortable in that knowledge......

    I saw that. Pretty groady. Probably off a salved bike. It wasn't one of ours and don't think it was a Super either. At least not one I've ever seen.

    Groan.....

    Just shipped the last one out of the last batch of 10 I ordered. If we can get 2 or 3 more 1stGens interested I'll pick up another 10. Stay tuned.... :cody

    long rides?

    Condor replied to Hfab5's topic in Watering Hole

    I've ridden the '83 (first venture) on several long distance rides. The longest being about 600 miles and 11 hours, several in the 400-500 mile range. I personally have always liked the way it sat, and it was comfortable to me. With the pegs beneath my butt and the highways out front it gave me a lot of different riding positions. The full fairing gave a lot of protection at high speed. I miss the old girl. My son's riding her now and loves it. :cody

    Well I really poured over this thread, and planned on installing a by-pass per instructions. Then I ran across a new OEM ignition switch on Ebay. 4XY-82501-11. At least that's what the bag says.. I don't know if it will work on a '99, but for $36 bucks total to the door, what the heck. The key is certainly cool looking... I'll just toss it into one of the saddle bags and hope I never have to install it...

    I've used CRC Carb Cleaner in the past. Works great. RPM's increase when a leak is located.

    Years ago Seagrams had a Crown Royal that was for Canadians sales only.. not to be exported. I had a buddy who went moose hunting in Canada every year and always smuggled a couple of cases back home with him. Talk about smooth.... I don't drink much now so I'm out of the loop as to what's available. However I don't think you'll find CC and Ginger in a can in the US... You never know what those Canucks will do....

    I've been nursing a bum right knee for about a year... busted it up swinging a leg over the scoot last summer.... I'd been putting off doing anything hoping that it would heel up by itself. Yesterday it got so bad I couldn't even walk on it. Damn it hurt. So off to the Docs I go this morning. Torn miniscus. A shot of cortizone cocktail and I'm mobile again. I may need an operation to clean things out of there. The Doc kinda hesitated about recommending the op untill I asked him if my name were Joe Montana would it make a difference... Gotta go mow the lawn now....
