  1. this is an ancient thread , so I doubt anyone will reply as it looks like the member that was making the spacers is no longer making them. I am wondering if anyone else has considered making them or if anyone has a spare kicking around, as it looks like ill be moving into the world of the G2 bikes. Thanks Brian
  2. When direct wiring my 765t I found that the garmin was a lower voltage than my bike output. I looked on the net and found a power adapter wire kit made especially for the purpose for about 25 bucks. (or buy the cigarette adapter that has the right voltage for your GPS, probably from Garmin) Brian
  3. Possibly your forks are turned enough to put pressure on the key so you cant turn the key. Try wiggling your handlebars back and forth while turning the key. MY 85 would get fussy from time to time and it needed the forks moved to be able to turn the key. Brian
  4. youre just a tease!!!! We need pics next time for sure!

    Kydex

    this might be an idea for Roxie. it might be easier to make from Kydex. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=77798 Brian
  6. Best Wishes in your new home and new job!!!!
  7. here is another option, there are quite a few of these around, at least wherever the bald eagles aren't. We have similar country to Nebraska so it might like it south of here too. I saw one take a neighbours cat after dive bombing it a few times to disable it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prairie_Falcon Brian

    Ooma VOIP

    I don't know anything about ooma, but I am using NetTalk Voip. SO far I am pretty happy with it. It costs 59 CDN to buy the unit and that includes the first years servce, the next year will be 39 bucks. For an extra 30 bucks they will move your existing number to their service, but it does take about 3 weeks to get it done. Brian
  9. the first thing I would check is any oil leaking out of the rear shock as its an 800 buck fix. Brian
  10. I rode it /driven it a few times. I get on it from Western ND and follow it through Montana into Glacier. Its a good road, well maintained as far as I can see, it is sometimes slower going as it goes through a lot of small towns and the speed limits drop, but I like that as it gives a chance to look around and stop. During the day you should be fine but at night keep your fuel full and watch the ditches for deer! Brian
  11. The 83-93 Ventures are taller than the new Ventures and the floor boards are a different config. With the G1 Venture config has a feet below hip config so most people have to put their legs down on the outside edge of the boards when stopped, meaning that you need longer legs to reach the ground. The G2 Ventures have a different seating position with your feet more out front of you so when you put your feet down its probably behind the back edge of the boards making it easier to get a firm foot down. Brian
  12. wow! good ride! better buy a lottery ticket! Brian
  13. Sorry sad to hear that, My condolences to you and the rest of her family. Brian
  14. Help! I think my friend Ken is having a severe case of PMS with our severely late spring and the snow still on the ground I think he has gone a bit mad. Brian
  15. Youre one sick mother,.......
  16. I add a note to any vendor to ship only by USPS or goods will be refused to avoid the stupid brokerage fees.
  17. If you know someone that has a corporate UPS or FedEx account it can be cheaper for you, but there will be a large charge on the recevers end when delivered. Ive bought quite a few things online and USPS is till probably the best way to ship up to us Canucks. ANYTHING shipped via UOS, FedEx or Any courier will have a huge brokerage fee added at delivery, ONLY USPS doesn't add this charge. Most Canadians live within 90 minutes of the border so maybe find out where the guy is at and see if he could drive to a US members place for a pickup.
  18. I would suggest NOT downloading the Facebook HOME update when it comes up for your android device. It changes a lot of stuff on your Android phone and makes FB your desktop on your phone. I would just leave the old FB App as it works fine. Brian
  19. Around here about 1/3 of the snow has melted, but if it turns warm like it should be for this time of year, we are screwed! We have sandbags and levees up all over town and around the province, they are forecasting bigger runoff than 2011 when all of the water than ran outta here flooded a big chunk of North Dakota, especially Minot Brian
  20. Yeah the cold has affected my fingers......:rotfl:
  21. We had the snowiest winter on record, and a Radio station in Saskatoon SK asked their listeners to post some pics to show off their snow. WOW!! We still have snow everywhere and its not going away quick enough, I have always been riding for about a month by now, but its still a way off for any riding to start. I hope North Dakota and all points downstream from us are doing their flood prep as a lot of our snow is headed their way....Sorry to my ND friends! Its a Facebook link and you can click the arrow on the first pic to see the rest. Brian
  22. good ta hear that youre up and about! Brian
  23. congrats on the move, good luck on the house!. better be careful of some of those guys in the Toledo area, I hear they will hijack all your weekends from late April until late October.... BRIAN
