I think this could turn into a nightmare and I'm sure Don has other things to do than to babysit this enterprise. I say forget it, if you want to play, walk to your corner 7-11 and buy a ticket. And Carl, I totally agree with you. This is going to get way too complicated and time consuming. We have all seen or heard of the legal problems and lawsuits over a winning ticket, as a result of a group buy. It's not worth the strained relationships that would result from the problems involved in a winning ticket. As Carl said ... this is a family and I think this could be a HUGE problem if there was a winner. Put your $2 in the bank and in the long run, will earn you more. IMHO Jim

It's been snowing here since midnight. About 2" on the ground. Come over and bring your shovel, Tom. PS: There is a new DQ here in Rochester. How's that for motivation? Jim

Tom & Bob: HEB has a website where you can order the pecan coffee. http://www.hebshopping.com/product.php?productid=73&cat=8&page=1 Don: I also received a bag from you and have become a fan of the coffee. I went to the H.E.B. website and found the above coffee. I have tried some local pecan coffees, but they are nowhere near as good as the coffee you gave to me. I am going to order a bag of this coffee, I hope they ship to New York! Jim

Evan: How about stick on pin stripes or decals of your favorite sports team? There are a lot of sites on the Internet to buy every kind of decal you can think of. Or add a contrasting color in that area of the fairing. How about a gloss black color, spray painted in a free form shape to cover the scratches? Do both the left and right sides of the fairing, so it looks balanced. I'm sure someone else has more ideas. Jim

Thanks to all the members of this Forum who gave generously to the Trailer Raffle and SAF Fund. And the winner is Ted Ratcliffe (ELDR) from Ontario, Canada. The trailer will be shipped to him in a few weeks, as soon as the paperwork is done. Congratulations to Ted and his wife, Heather. Jim (Jayceesfolly)

Tom: Been there, done that. I helped pull a High school friend out of an MVA, he went halfway thru the windshield because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. You never really forget the bad ones. I retired from firefighting after 30 years but the memories last forever. The wind in your face will cure whatever ails you. Hang in there, Bro. Jim

maiden voyage
Jayceesfolly replied to rbig1's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I think the brake fluid should only be half way up the sight glass. Then as the fluid gets warm and expands it has somewhere to go. If the reservoir is full, and the fluid expands it will apply the brakes, as you found out. Jim -
I have a cluster for an 84, I think, that I will give to you. I am in Rochester, so I am close by. Does it have the red light in the tach for the cruise, I think the one I have has that light? I will look at it tomorrow afternoon and confirm. Jim

need help!
Jayceesfolly replied to biker970's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
I wouldn't go to the expense of replacing the solenoid. Just heavier battery cables and do the ground wire modification on the old starter or go with a 4 brush starter, as was mentioned above. New AGM battery will also work. Battery is available from Skydoc_17 on this site. Jim -

Erie Canal Cruise & Brunch At The International
Jayceesfolly replied to Jayceesfolly's topic in Watering Hole
I have been working on the road and not able to get on the Forum on a regular basis. But here are a couple of answers to the questions in this thread. 1. The cruise itself starts at 12:30 pm, so you need to have your ticket for the cruise and ready to board by 12:15 PM. 2. We will have the brunch at 11:00 AM at the boat launch facility. There is a Banquet & Conference Center attached to the boating facility, so the brunch and tour are all at one place. 3. We will have a reserved parking area for the bikes, but will be limited. Everything must be secured on the bikes (helmets, etc.). 4. There will be a separate table for sign -in and to receive your tickets for the brunch and cruise, which I will be manning, once we arrive at the cruise site. 5. For those members that are not eating at the brunch, there are local restaurants available in the village (5 minutes away). Everything from fast food to Mom & Pop family restaurants are available. 6. The cruise will return to the dock at approximately 2:15-2:30 PM. This will give you time to take a drive around the village and/or do a little shopping or walking. There is a nice small Gallery just across the street from the cruise docking facility, which features local artisans and their work. 7. I will have a flyer available which will contain directions to and from Pioneer Motorsport, so that you can stay in the village and then return at your leisure. It is an approximate one hour ride to Pioneer from the cruise facility, so there will be a small amount of time before the Annual Dinner, to allow you to explore the village, if you so desire. 8. If you have any questions, PM me or call my cell phone for an immediate answer: 585-747-7998. Jim -

The brunch and cruise is scheduled for Wednesday and we need to have everyone sign up on the calendar ASAP because the deadline for the sign up is July 1st. As of today we only have five people signed up and we need to know how many people are attending, so the caterers know how much food to prepare. We need a minimum of 25 people for the brunch and if we do not have a minimum of 25, we will not have the brunch but will continue to have the cruise. I need to know by the 1st of July, if you are planning on attending the Erie Canal Cruise and Brunch. It will be a nice bike ride and a relaxing afternoon boat ride. After the cruise we will return to Arcade for the Annual Dinner at the Hearth Restaurant, where we will pull the winning ticket for the Aluma Trailer. You have bought your trailer raffle ticket, right!!??? We still have plenty of tickets available, so Paypal me your spare change and I will send you a ticket!! Sign up on the calendar ASAP!!!! http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=317&day=2012-7-25&c=1 Thanks Jim

Thanks to Gunboat.........we are over the breakeven point. Thank you, Don! And to everyone else who has bought tickets for the trailer raffle. Now, we need to build the SAF fund. Just as Steamer said, this money is used for the good of everyone on this forum. We need everyone to buy 3 tickets and make the fund grow. We still have plenty of tickets available. Thanks for everyone's generosity. See you at the International! Jim Crane

Yes, that's the thread. Thanks for finding it. I am going to order a set and put them on my bike. Jim

I will be spending the day on two different PGR functions. One is to welcome home the WW II veterans from the Honor Flight at our local airport. This will be the best part of my day, to see these heroes return from Washington, DC, where they viewed the WW II Memorial. The second half of the day will be standing in honor of an Army Vietnam Veteran at his funeral service. They all deserve our gratitude and respect. Jim

There was a thread on here about a month ago about someone putting a set of aftermarket mirrors on their 1st Gen. I don't know how to search for it because I don't remember which thread it was. They were black mirrors, not chrome. Jim
