    Thanks for letting us know that you and Becky made it home ok. Just glad I could be a little part of your trip. RandyA

    Interesting video. Another interesting video is this one about tickets. There is also a part 2 and 3 that goes with it. Just make sure you watch it all the way to the end. RandyA

    I thought it was good and I had a very good sirloin that was cooked perfectly, the first time. RandyA

    Bob and Becky, Steve(SGN) and Ann and I were able to get together and have a great visit and meal. It was good to see Bob and Becky again and this was the first time Steve had met them. Unfortunately, my Lady Linda had to work and was very disappointed she could not be there. I took a few pictures and if you wonder why Steve has got that goofy look on his face, he and his lovely wife Ann have been married less than a week and they had just got back from their honeymoon in a cabin in Gatlinburg.. Maybe one of these days he will get back to normal. I guess I should not give Steve too hard a time as he and Ann treated us to the great meal. Thanks Steve and Ann. RandyA I guess I don't have much good so say about the last picture also.

    Hey Eck, when are you going to realize some of are getting older and start making your font bigger? I love to read your posts, but sometimes bigger is better. Randya

    I see you have an 85 Venture. No these bikes don't have a passing gear associated with a slipping clutch. Your bike being an 85 should already have the 6 spring set up and if it does you can buy a set of heavy duty springs and it should stop your slipping clutch problem. How many miles do you have on the bike? We have another Venturerider member named Rooster that lives in Marion, NC. He is a bit of a character but he is a good guy and knows these bikes pretty good. You should contact him. RandyA

    Neat pictures and video. Yep, I was wondering what I would do when I won the Lotto. RandyA

    Wow Jeff, I didn't realize the trouble you have had with your Goldwing. I hope it works out for you as you need something you can depend on all the time. RandyA

    You may not be familiar with some of the cars available right now but there are some of the quickest and fastest cars ever produced. RandyA

    Tail of the Dragon is a neat ride. It is very motorcycle oriented and has a good stopover near the top on the North Carolina side with a restaurant, campground and cabins. If you stay within the speed limit, and on the weekend there may be LEO everywhere, it will be a slow ride as the limit is 30 mph. It is a better ride during the week as on a nice weekend it is like getting in a motorcycle train. You may also have to deal with some crotch rockets or even cruisers that try to ride beyond their capability. There are great roads to ride all over this area with many being as good as the Dragon. Some have even more and tighter curves with 55 mph speed limits. RandyA

    The dim light is very indicative of a cold solder joint in the CMS. RandyA

    The Hour Glass is long gone. Now we have the Mouse's Ear. I reckon now there is not much left to the imagination as I believe the only thing they wear is their shoes. RandyA

    Man, I was about half way through the second page and had to run an errand. As soon as I came back in I cranked up the pooter and it was gone. Oh well, it is winter and some of us do suffer with PMS and can get a bit touchy. RandyA KIC are you going to make double sure we see your apology with the double post?

    With my bike being a standard without CB and intercom, I picked up a Royale left side handle grip with the PPT button and wired my remote garage door opener thru it and mounted the opener on the inside of the fairing between the headlight and signal light. If you used the high beam circuit, does that mean your sending unit is sending out a signal all the time the high beams are on? On mine, which has a battery inside, I just wired across the button contacts and the PPT button now closes that circuit. RandyA

    I just put it on one side. Make sure the surface is real clean like you wiped it with an alcohol pad. It may help to do a test fit a couple of times as it can be a little tricky getting the forks to line up. Also, I just put it on the surfaces that are exposed to the outside. RandyA

    As for now, Bob and Becky are planning on being in Johnson City, Tn this Thursday evening around 7PM. We hope to get some of the locals and anyone else that would like to meet up for a get together and have a visit and a meal. The location has not been picked yet and am open for suggestions. For anyone that wants to get together, please let me know so we can put something together. If my number is not in your phone, it is in my profile. RandyA

    I was looking at one for Linda a year or so ago and was amazed at the difference between the Kelly Blue Book value and what people wanted. Given this, you may need a lot of cash instead of financing it. KBB value in excellent condition, that's the top 3%, is only about $5,200 with 88k miles. RandyA

    The 1st thing I would do is reverse the hoses around on the meter if it has four separate hoses. The reason for this is there may be some type of restrictor that helps with the pulses to smooth them out. See if the pulses stays with the meter or stays with the carbs. My 1st inclination if you have a lot of pulsing is an intake valve leak that is spitting back a little. Or as already mentioned, some type of vacuum leak. You can spray some starter fluid around the base of the carbs and intake manifolds and see if it makes a difference. If you do have a vacuum leak, you will need to fix that before you will ever get a proper carb sync. RandyA

    I have always been intrigued by this bike and actually liked the styling. But, there was always something that I did not like about it. I think I just figured it out and it is that the fairing extends too far forward covering part of the front wheel. If the fairing had been recessed a little more under the front, more like a 1st gen, I think the bike would have looked better. RandyA

    We had a death Friday when a 63 year old woman in a van turned in front of a 39 year old man on what appeared to be a crotch rocket. RandyA

    I think he meant to say venturer's forum, so it don't have to be captalized. RandyA

    Tennessee is due yearly on end of month purchased. My Maxima and El Camino are about $28 each. Bike I believe is about $14 and trailer under 16 feet does not require tags. I like it in Tennessee and we also do not a state income tax. RandyA
