WOW....first you use plastic screws for the purpose of losing her license plates, then you try to get her arrested at the border. You sure like living on the EDGE don't you. I do agree with the others though. There is NEVER an excuse for such rudeness from our public officials. I had a little run in with a local policeman a few months ago. I won't go into the long details but I had done nothing wrong and he was WAY out of line. I turned around and drove straight to the police station and filed a complaint against him. Most of the policemen in this area are pretty darn nice folks...this is one though that likes to wear his authority on his sleeve and push it around. I don't much go for that nonsense.

uh..........do you think there will be a background check?

Suspension help in DFW, Texas
Freebird replied to taps442's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
You've got some fine members in your area that I am sure would be happy to help you out. Check with V7Goose or Rick Butler for starters. You can find both in the members list. Just send them a PM and I'm sure they will assist you. -
That WAS funny but I've had to delete it because for some reason, it was causing errors on the server.

This is news to me. I'm unaware of any changes to the carbs from '99 through present.

Look in the top menu bar next to the donate button on the right side. I cleaned up and re-arranged the bar.

Let's not get off track folks. Nobody said that anything applies to anybody who looks Mexican. He said that the local police reports are FULL of such incidences. That is true around here also. I am NOT anti-Mexican, my son is also married to a Hispanic lady and she is wonderful. We are not talking about Hispanics in general but those that are here illegally. Now let's please not turn this into a political discussion.

Balancing is pretty easy. Some tires are pretty close and others are not. You may get by without balancing them one time and not the next. It only takes a few minutes, I would go ahead and do it.

No problem. Glad to help. These guys are just rattling my cage. All in good fun.

The yellow theme should be OK now.
-
OH...never mind. I forgot about the "mellow yellow" theme that you use. I'll work on it tonight.

You folks are confusing ME now. I see only one picgallery link and it's in the bottom bar. There is a VRPhoto link in the upper bar that goes to our Photobucket account. HUH? hmmm....on the right side...just left of the donate button.

Only if you promise to bring that trike to one of our rallies. We want to see it. Same thing goes for you as I told Robert in the second post of this thread. You can't leave. We don't allow that around here.

OK....I'll do it better this time. Here it is in my usual long winded style. Here is some information on the Firestik: All "FL" antennas are 100% American made with 100% American materials. To maintain a balance between flexibility and ruggedness, we use a custom blended, glass fiber reinforced tube. Each is wound with double insulated copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings often found on non-Firestik antennas. The tunable tip mechanism is made from rust-proof brass and has a rubber o-ring to hold the adjuster in place after tuning. Our 3/8"-24 threaded base will fit all Firestik mounts and accessories. Each antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight sleeve containing UV and pigment stabilizers. For peek performance we recommend that you use one of our Fire-Flex or RoadPal coaxial cables with these antennas. Here are the specs on the K40: ...specifications..... Universal Mounting Application Tunable Design Top Loaded Coil Frequency Range 26-30MHz Designed for CB and 10 Meter Radios 1/4-Wave Length Design Fits all 3/8" x 24 Threaded Mounts Chrome Plated Whip Adapter Mil-Spec Polyolefin Sheath Can be Used as a Single Antenna or Co-Phased for Dual Antennas And the Valor mount: Antenna Fold-Over The advantage of the 203EZ may not be immediately apparent. It was designed to provide an easy solution for dealing with an antenna while not in use, rather than removing the antenna from the base as a quick disconnect would require, the 203EZ will simply fold the antenna down into an easily managed horizontal position. Please remember, the antenna is not to be used while folded down, always make sure to place your antenna in the vertical upright position before transmitting a signal. Technical Specs: * (F) 3/8x24" thread on top, (M) 3/8x24" thread on bottom * Chromed Brass Construction * Durable Construction allows for use with fiberglass antennas up to 5 feet

Yes, they are standard.

Some people claim that a REALLY GOOD carb sync will prevent the backfiring without plugging the AIS. You might check that first. If you still want to plug it, see this thread. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=485 -
I think that would be fun. Come up with a date and I'll try to make it. I've not been very lucky lately at making them though.

I've never seen a studded Hopnel bib. I don't think they make them. There are some other, though more expensive, sources. Here is one choice. http://www.chilhowee.net/motorcycle-tank-bibs-main.html and here is one in Canada. http://saddlebagsbytalisman.com/index.php

I'm not sure but you might check with: http://www.sierra-mc.com -
I'm glad that none of that applies to ME.

I did the traffic school in Texas a few years ago...OK...I've actually done it a couple..or three times over the years to keep a ticket off my record. It ends up costing about the same but it keeps them off your record. In Texas you can actually do it online. At that time, I had to go to Blockbuster and rent the tapes and then go online to take the test after each section. They may have it completely online now.

I have had several dealings with them. They are located in Ohio and I have stopped by their place to see it and meet them in person. Very nice people and ALL their parts are stored indoors out of the weather. I always recommend them. There is actually a link to their Ebay page on our home page here. I don't place those links to anybody that I don't support.

What do you mean you'll be hanging around? Were you under the impression that it is YOUR CHOICE? Haven't you heard? You can check in here but you can't EVER check out. We'll come find you. Congrats on the new bike. I do hope that you find a site that you find helpful but don't hesitate to ask your questions here either. We don't mind at all and we do have several other members who have owned and some that currently own Wings. The bikes brought us all together, the friendships keep us together. You may be selling the Venture but you can't sell your friends.

I've never heard that they could not be chromed. In fact, somebody...Baron's I think...used to sell them on an exchange basis.

The foot massage idea doesn't work for me AT ALL. Sorry....I have a thing about that...cute feet...oil....hmmmm........... it's already getting out of hand for me. I think I will confine that to the privacy of our room.
