Well yea...but Texas is one of FIFTY states in the USA. BC is one of what....THREE.... ..OK...I KNOW it's not really three but you know what I mean. Besides, Texas is NOT the biggest state in the USA, that would be Alaska. It's still big enough though.

Sorry about that. I should have said something. Where did they eat? I ate at Lucky's Steakhouse on Wednesday night. Pretty good food.
-
They still do the family meals but this was just a regular meal. Still a LOT of food. I've heard about Tony's but haven't been there. Heard they have a good breakfast. Maybe I'll try it on my way home this morning.

I'm near Saginaw, MI tonight...actually I've been here all week. Staying in Birch Run. Tonight I drove over to Frankenmuth and had dinner at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn. The food was pretty good but I've got to tell you, I left enough food on the table to feed at least one or two more people. Those people just keep on bringing food.....geeezzzz.....enough already.

No problem. I'll let you know after I take one to the post office to see.
-
OK folks...there are now 59 mugs left.

I agree that the Garmin is a great unit. I have one also but it only works if you are willing to spend over $500.00 on a Garmin GPS. For just a straight XM, I had really good luck with the Roady II. I don't even know if they still make it but I one before getting my Garmin GPS and it worked very well.

Nope, that is not the pillow top seat. I bought my '99 new and it had that same seat before I changed to the Corbin. It does have some padding but nothing like the pillow top that the later ones had.

I don't think it's that hard. Make it a STATE PARK and I'll get it this weekend.

Which one? Crashing the Fat Cat. Changing my oil. My shoe laces getting hung on the shifter. I could go on but enough is enough.
-
HEY....you keep quiet.
-
Got it. Hurry folks....only 70 remaining. Actually, only 68 because I plan to keep at least two of them to put away in case my current two ever get lost.
-
I've seen some that have painted them on the inside and they looked great. I would also think you could use some window tint plastic if you wanted to. On the other hand....if my dealer ruined them...I would be pushing them to replace them out of their pocket.

Just so that everybody see that the previous thread has been updated. Please see the first post for of this this thread for pricing and ordering info. [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41413]VentureRider Insulated Mugs - VentureRider.Org[/ame] I am locking this thread so that all posts and info will be in one place.

The mugs are ordered. I have updated the first post of this thread with all the pricing and ordering info. They did go up a bit so any of you who had already responded are NOT under any obligation to order. Thanks for your patience.
-
Good stories from both of you. I'm glad that I have never done anything stupid.

If you are asking about VentureRider chapters, we don't actually have formal/organized chapters. Those are Star Touring Chapters and though I think everybody already knows, we are in no way associated with Star Touring.

I agree. I have no idea if your attorney is correct or not but I know from experience that they aren't always right. Especially if it is an issue outside of their normal expertise.

Congrats and yes, beautiful young lady and as usual, great job on the photography.

CB & radio Antenna
Freebird replied to Sideoftheroad's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Once you have the Firestik instaled, it will have a cable that just screws onto the bottom of the antenna mount. You will simply unscrew the cable from the antenna and screw it into the back of the meter. You will need another cable to screw into the other socket on the back of the meter and then back to the antenna. Basically you are just putting the meter inline with the antenna. I picked up a short, 3 ft. I think, cable at a local truck stop to use for tuning. Just picked up a new one a week ago because the old one I had was bad. -
Easy way to remove the u-joint
Freebird replied to Winesap7's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yes, there is also a post on this in our First Gen tech library. [ame=http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6238]U-Joint Cross Reference - VentureRider.Org[/ame] -
If it's the same as the Venture, and I would expect that it is, you should find it in the right saddlebag under the mat in the bottom.

Thanks for doing this. I'm in for 4 of them at least. They look great.
-
OK folks, here's the deal. They will cost $2.50 more than I thought. US will be $24.50 delivered and $25.50 to Canada. They originally came back at $5.00 per mug higher than last time but I finally got them to split it and got the increase down to $2.50 but that's the best I can do. I found one more source but they too were $5.00 more. So...it's your call. Do you want them or not?

Folks, I am ready to order the mugs but am in negotiations now with the vendor. They have quoted them about $2.50 per mug higher than the last time. Now I did beat them down on the price the last time but they are telling me that they just can't do them that cheap again. The debate with them is ongoing. I'll let you know as soon as I do.
