    POOF....and it's done.

    Heck, I don't know that it got rained out and it certainly wasn't your fault. I think we were just beat from a good day of riding and our hearts probably just weren't in it. Thanks much for the idea and maybe next time we can make it happen. It was a pleasure getting to know you and your wife a bit.

    Home safely. Unpacked. Gonna lay in bed now and see what's on the tube. Unfortunately, gotta hit the road again tomorrow and will be gone all week on business. It was fun while it lasted.

    What can I say. The past two weeks have been a glorious time for Eileen and I. We had to leave Vogel yesterday before the meal but we had a wonderful time. This entire trip has been fantastic. We left Ohio a little over two weeks ago and have really taken our time on this one. Been in no hurry and until yesterday, had not ridden any interstates at all except for about 15 or so miles near Memphis getting to our hotel. We have slept in most days and then done only about 350-400 miles per day most days. The rally in Arkansas was fantastic. Bill and crew did a heck of a job organizing it and I don't know how it could have been any better other than perhaps the weather being a bit cooler. Then over to Vogel where Lewis hosted his usual class act. All who helped with both rallies will be justly recognized when I get back home and have more time to get things done. Eileen and I left Vogel around noon yesterday and took a couple hours of back roads again before finally jumping on the interstate and truly heading for home. Stopped in Lexington, KY for the night and will make the final 330 mile leg home today. I hate for it to all end but that ugly 4 letter word....WORK....is screaming at me from somewhere deep inside and it must be appeased. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. You are all the best and I look forward to much more in the future.

    BRAKES? THAT'S what I was forgetting.

    I would if it was for me. Mr. Copus already has a LOT of money in the '89 and is needing something cheap.

    Eileen and I had a very nice ride today. Did the Cherahola/Dragon loop. Left Helen and took headed to Robbinsville. Did the Dragon and got rained on pretty heavily but still had a nice time. The took 129 to 72 and that across to 411. 411 to 360 and then 165 all the way back to 129. Got back to Helen about 8:00 this evening. Took a few side trips also and ended up doing a total of a little over 300 miles. Wish I knew how many curves we actually went through today.

    NEW? I don't remember. I looked them up and almost had a heart attack. I'm thinking $125.00 each or so. That's why I'm trying to find a decent used one for the right side.

    I guess it's time for a reminder folks. I'm amazed at the number of political threads started lately and also some of the jokes that are crossing the line of our PG rating here. I'm not going to give a big speech here. There are plenty of threads where I have done so. I'm just going to ask that you PLEASE think about what you are posting before you post it. It's really simple. No political discussion here and the jokes should be no worse than PG rated. Thanks, Don

    I have an '89 Venture Royale listed in the classifieds that belongs to a man who lives near me. He tells me that it needs the right side panel louvers and asked me to try and find some for him. If any of you have them for sale, please send me a PM with your price. Thanks

    It was Mark's. Here is the link. I don't think he shows them but I know he makes and sells them. http://markspipe.com/index.htm

    Thanks for all the replies. I agree now that it is obviously a scam. I did not respond and have deleted. I don't care if somebody registers the name with some asian extension. Let them have it.

    I hate to hear it. I know the pain and frustration such things can cause. We were hacked here a couple of times and it can take many late nights to get things fixed again. Just tried to go there and it was blocked for me also.

    I will research this when I have more time but have any of you system admins seen this before? I feel that they are probably going to try and soak me for money but this one is new to me.

    Eck, I just now saw this. We actually stayed just outside of Huntsville in Streetsboro or something like that. Sorry I missed you.

    Almost anyway. We stayed in Cornelia last night but are going to be in Helen for the next couple of night before checking in to the cabin on Wednesday. We haven't gotten rained on at all but it has sure been hot. For some reason, I can't check my email from this hotel. Internet is working and I can get my email from venturerider.org but they seem to have the entire Verizon network blocked and I can't access my email through Thunderbird and even the Webmail page won't open. So...I wasn't able to check my email of all the posts for the past day and can't get any email that you may have sent. Hopefully it will work from the hotel in Helen. This is the first time I've been able to get online and have my email not work. Looking forward to seeing you all.

    James will be missed by the VentureRider family. I don't know how long he was a member but it was well before the crash when we had to start all over. His humor and words of wisdom will be missed by all. Godspeed our friend and our prayers to all the family and friends.

    Yea, it was neat to see another member en-route. We ended up staying now too far from there. Got within about 20 minutes of our hotel though and came upon a 5 car accident. Ended up sitting in traffic for about 30-45 minutes.

    Glad you aren't talking about ME. Mine is NOT GREEN.

    Eileen and I had a great time. Bill and crew just did a fantastic job putting this all together. The location was perfect, the hosts at the hub were great, couldn't have asked for anything more expect maybe some cooler temps. Since my radiation and etc., I just don't have all my energy back yet so we turned in early every night and I regret that but it was a great time. Eileen and I took it easy yesterday. Ended up only doing about 300 miles and stopped just east of Memphis. Will do 300 or so miles again today and stay east of Huntsville, AL a ways and then get down near Vogel tomorrow. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I don't know how to explain the way I feel when I'm around you folks. Some have said that I should feel proud of the organization that I have built here but it isn't really pride that I feel. I actually feel humble that so many of you have made VentureRider a part of your life. I am honored that you have done so. When I try to tell outsiders what a great group of folks we have, the words are never adequate. So....I guess I'll just say THANK YOU to each and every one of you.

    I called you TRAILER BOY? ME? Why...I would NEVER.

    Here's one example that I ran across. I've never seen anything else about it though. http://www.rtukltd.com/air-conditioned-helmets.html
