    SWEET

    I built one when i had my rsv and it worked great. Originally my tongue was too short and it did fishtail a little so I added 2 feet and it was fine. We ran into a couple from arizona at rolling thunder years ago and they had built one. He said they have been using it for years without any problems. Oh and neither mine nor his had any brakes on it. Just 2 wheels a tongue and wiring. good luck with yours. Mike

    I too must say thanks to Big Tom for his assistance. He was a big help. (I owe you an ice cream) Another to Chad and the fine folks at Pioneer. What great people and a excellent place to do business. They really went above and beyond. To Don for starting this wonderful site. It has been a great source of entertainment and information and we have met so many good people from here. It has truly been a pleasure to be a part of it. We look forward to meeting many more members in the future. Last but not least a BIG Thank You to my perfect wife Tina for not just the great valentines gift of a new spyder but for 30 wonderful years of marriage. She is my life,my love,my everything and I love her with all my heart and soul. Thank you T. Thanks again Mike

    we have been using 2 post lifts made by rotary for decades now and have never had one fail. if you are mainly lifting cars then get one where both arms swing the same direction. it is alot easier for lifting smaller cars. if you are lifting mainly trucks then go with one where the arms swing in different directions.

    A BIG congrats to you both. It is rare to see any long term marriages these days. Tina and I are in good company as on the 30th of this month we will have been married 29 years. You two have a good one and hope to see you in august. Mike and T

    hey bob. the can am is on hold till the trike sells and as of yesterday the garage i have been working at for the last 11 years closed its doors so i guess i need another job first. but thats ok cause we had ice cream and that makes everything alright. big tom has broad shoulders, he can take it. i think we will go get more tomorrow.

    I finally got the trike put back together after having the trunk sealed. We went for a nice 75 degree ride through the hills. She got her first helmet hair of the season. And best of all we got ICE CREAM. Life is good. Mike and T

    tina and i rode one last year and before the ride was over she asked when are we going to get one. the steering took a little getting used to but it rode better than our trike and had excellent power. as soon as we can sell our trike we will be getting the red rts model

    there were four of them on my trike when i got it and it ran like crap even with the choke all the way out. the useless dealer i bought the bike from said it had been rejetted to use them but that was just another lie from them as when i put a stock intake system on it it was like a totally new bike. all kinds of power. (lesson learned never buy sight unseen over the phone) i had the jets checked to make sure they were the proper ones for the stock system and they were. so without rejetting the carbs it WILL run like garbage. mike

    done
  15. mikentinamidnight
    thanks all this would be a project that my son and i would do together and would be done on a shoestring budget. i just didn't want to sink a couple grand into it if it wont be worth it in the end.
  16. mikentinamidnight
    here's the deal. i have the chance to buy an 86 venture that is in need of most of the plastic parts. the saddle bags and the trunk are in decent shape but the rest is pretty much toast. it supposedly runs ok and it will need a battery,tires and the valve covers are leaking. it looks like it has been down on the right side but it wasn't very hard. do you all think it is worth 300 bucks? would it be worth the money after having to buy all new plastic? it is something that i would get going and give to my son and his wife. thanks mike
  17. mikentinamidnight
    Yes Big Tom T and I will be taking the train. Thanks for putting this on again it is always a good time.
  18. mikentinamidnight
    if all goes as planned we are buying a new bike.
  19. mikentinamidnight
    Well we did our test ride and once I got used to the handling it turned out to be a much better ride than our trike. It was very smooth over rough roads, had good get up and go with much more power in fifth gear and had less wind on myself and Tina. She liked the ride so much she said we just need to go home and sell our trike and we will get one. Overall we were both very happy with the performance so if anyone is looking for a trike just give me a shout. Thank you all for the input. If our fearless leader says he would buy one and If it is good enough for the West Virginia Fuzz then it is good enough for me. Thanks again. Mike and T

    Yep Skid that is exactly the one.

    Are there any members here that own a spyder? Tina and I are thinking of getting one and were wondering what peoples opinions were. So far the reviews are all pretty positive. We are heading to Pioneer Motorsports tomorrow to test drive one since they have been so good to us Ventureriders. Any opinions will be appreciated Thanks Mike and T

    I have been driving tow trucks since 1983 and I cant count how many broke down harleys i have towed but i can tell you I have only towed two imports and one of them was because they ran over a bolt and got a flat. In my book that dose not say alot for harley reliability. I have owned a new one and it was more trouble than it was worth and all the work was done at the dealer. Ill never own another. It was definitely half the bike at twice the price.

    anything from RUSH !!!
