    OOPS...sorry about that. I was remember something that I never did. OK...another thing you can do. Go to the Full List. Then on the right, under search, click on Advanced. That will give you a page where you can search by country and many other ways.

    Click "Search" in the menu bar and type in Bazooka. You will find a couple of threads about it. Here is the main one I think. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=35681&highlight=Bazooka

    You can already bring up Canada, USA, or Other. There are so few "Other" that I don't think it takes long to go through them.

    GREAT deal...but I do the same thing with my leaf blower.

    I went ahead and moved it. Hopefully this will make it easier for folks to find and continue to enjoy.

    I've got one but unfortunately, it has two large round holes in it where I removed the vents and put in my newer shield. Plus, I won't be home until tomorrow evening.

    It IS a nice bike. The problem is, I travel so much that I just don't have time to keep a first gen running.

    I'm really not surprised about the Kawasaki. The few people that I know that have actually ridden one were not too impressed. One of our newer members called me a couple of weeks ago, wish I could remember who it was, but he had bought one and after one trip, he and his wife absolutely hated it. He finally found a dealer that really wanted it and traded it for a RSV.

    That is truly a beautiful trike. I will probably do that some day but it's a few years off. Great job.

    OK....let me know how much and I'll send you a PayPal. Mr. Copus will reimburse me anyway. No hurry, I doubt I'll mess with it until we get back from the rally.

    They don't show a price but they say $20.00 minimum order. How much was it? Don

    Where did you get the fuse block? I think I need to put a new one on Mr. Copus' '89.

    I'm really sorry that it turned out well and so quickly. Those are scary times. I've got an ex-wife that I was worried about for a while after the divorce but she finally just disappeared and left me to raise my son.

    I know that Hopnel has been bought out. I'm not sure but I think it was Big Bike Parts or something like that.

    I have no problem with that and think it is a great idea. I'm open to any further suggestions and discussion about it.

    The small balloon is a good idea. The Edsets even ship with them now.

    I'm sorry, I there must be something wrong with my computer. I can't read this one.

    Yes, Ohio requires the title to be notarized also. That is something the seller has to do but you don't have to be there. He just takes the title and signs it in front of a notary and they notarize it before sending it to you.

    Really sorry to hear it. Sounds like he was pretty lucky though. Really glad it wasn't worse.

    I don't know how it can be. As Steve said, they went out of business in 1931. Started back in 1998 and were bankrupt again by the fall of 1999. That bike is much newer than 1931 and much older than 1999.

    I just put one just like it in the classifieds. Not mine, belongs to a local gentleman. I think he's a bit high on it though. He has a LOT in it due to paying a bit much and then really getting ripped when he had the carb diaphragms and boots replaced. He was by here yesterday because he had put a new sealed battery in it and didn't know what to do about the battery warning light. I did the resistor trick on it for him. He is negotiable but I'm not sure how much.

    Beautiful bike. I've seen something like that before. It's a Bridgestone isn't it?

    This one will email you also but you have to select that option in your UserCP. I just checked and in your UserCP under "Edit Options"...you have selected "Do Not Subscribe". That is why you receive no notifications.

    It is for a 3/4 helmet. It is an AirRider and the way they are made, the mic is molded into the left ear piece and comes out the cheekpad of the helmet. Don

    OK...that is fair criticism and it's always welcome. Let me address a couple of them. Yes, the other Venture site sends you pins, patches, etc. We could do that too. All we need to do is raise the price of the dues here to match theirs and we could cover that. I chose to do it this way though because I do understand that some folks are going through tough times and having access to the site is the important thing to them. Some could care less about pins, patches, decals, etc. So, here you have a choice. A basic membership with access to all the important information and fellow riders and the opportunity to purchase the other items if you so desire. Sorry, but I think that our way makes more sense. I may be wrong though. As for the logo design. I designed it long ago when I first started this club. I do not profess to be a graphics artist but most everybody voted for it and liked it at the time. A couple of years ago, I posted here that I thought we needed something better and asked if there were any artists here who were interested in coming up with a new design. The response was OVERWHELMINGLY against a new logo. The bulk of comments were that "this is our logo, it always has been, there is no reason to change it". So, I dropped the issue. Further discussion, comments, suggestions are always welcome.
