    It could have been a lot worse... Hope the guilt and the wife heal quickly. It's never good to try a U-turn on an incline...ever. But if you have to, backing into a turn is about the only way to make it in one piece...on blacktop. On gravel/shale just bite the bullet and keep going....

    It's hard to believe the reports of all the long lines to vote. We've lived here 35 years and have always walked right in and voted. In and out.... 5 minutes...

    Grins... You have a mixed cartridge there... It's a 7.62Nato, or 308 Winchester. Same cartridge. Actually 308 Nato will work.... :) That's funny..... This is my first 788, but from what I've read, while researching values, the 788's came with Douglas bbls, and were more accurate than the M700's. The estate has another 70 or so long guns, and I hope somewhere in the mix there's a decient varment gun. .223 maybe?? I don't know the guys name but I guess he was a hell of a competition marksman. You should have seen all the reloading equipment and components. 100's of bullet molds, primers, dies... If I were still rolling my own I would have been very interested... Can't wait until the next time...

    It's not so much moving them forward as it is clearing the fairing to get to them. If you're uncomfortable with the floor boards you might try replacing them with stock pegs that allow your foot to point down in a more natural position.. My '91 had floor boards when I bought it. Very uncomfortable. Changed to OEM peg assemblies and it's so much better. You can find peg assemblies on Ebay, and all years are interchangeable. '83-'93

    I used to shoot a 264 WinMag, which is based on the 375H&H cartridge, and If I remember correctly it got your attention when you pulled the trigger. Can we spell recoil reducer??? :rotf:

    I thought it would make a great varmint caliber.... POOOFFF!! Actually there was a 219 Donaldson Wasp in pretty nice condition that went low. Just didn't want to get into reloading again.

    Yep, know what a bore sighter is, and if that indeed is what happened, he didn't have an unlucky day, but lucky.... With the chamber pressures developed he's lucky he just split the end of the barrel. It could have been much worse...

    I still don't understand what happened to your bbl.???
  10. Condor
    Yeah, the 375H&H would make a great snipper rifle....

    Nice paint, double ugly seat, nice accessories. Just make damn well sure second gear is still good, or it's been fixed. Good luck. BTW you can buy just the foam for those grips...

    Nope, didn't buy another Venture... But I did pick up a couple of really nice rifles. It's been years since I've even had a long gun in the house, and I used to have a bunch. Bought a Whitworth Mark X 375 H&H with scope, and a Remington 788 30/30 with scope. Both went for 25% of used retail value. When the bidding stayed that low I couldn't help myself. They were about 10 rifles in the auction and some went for double what you could have bought them for on the street. Go figure... I also picked up a couple of Burris Scopes for $50 bucks per. Another good buy. I'm a happy camper!!

    Rick, what are you thinking. You know those things give you warts.... :rotf::rotf:

    There's a couple of brighter bulbs available as replacements for the MkI's. Ask the clerk for something a little more potent.... Can't remember the part number but the standard bulbs are fairly common....

    Hey Mike, I see where it's down below $2.00 bucks a gallon in some places. Can I breathe now?????? :rotfl::rotfl:

    I can't get them to enlarge either.......

    If you're just looking for something to hold the chrome covers on the reserves, I'd suggest getting a 2-part thread repair kit at your local auto parts store. It doesn't take a ton of torque to hold the covers on.... http://www.statesupply.com/displayCategory.do?cuid=FP_MS_Epoxy

    Check the three white wire connector before doing anything else. They get corroded and over heat, lose it's connection, and causing the stator not to work. There's a ton of info on the subject here on this board. Do a search for 3 or three white. Also put a multi-tester on the battery posts while it's running. You should get 14vdc to 14.2vdc when the engine rmp is over 2000. If you are getting output you have a bad battery. After that it's replacing the rectifyer or stator.

    Works fine here too. I wonder if the has the switch thrown to ignor the website colors in his browser set up??

    Hey, I'm peddlin' and fast as I can.... In 25 years I'll be pushin' 93 and something tells me I won't be riding a VR any longer. I'll let someone younger, enjoy the rush!! And replace the starter.

    I still ain't gonna live that long....
  23. Condor
    Yea!!!!!!!!!!

    Personally I don't know what the big deal is about the 2-brush and 4-brush staters. I look at it this way, the OEM '83 2-brush starters are lasting 25years plus, why would anyone need to stuff a 4-brush in there to begin with?? I ain't gonna live that long.......

    Hey JT, I know how ya feel pard.... It's just a sign of getting older.... and WE take longer to heel... You'll be up and about before long. Hang in there...
