    Me too. I wouldn't mind having another Venture next to my Venture.

    He must be eyeing the '09's that are coming out soon.

    Glad to hear that you are also enjoying cold morning rides. I ride to and from work with Gerbings plugged in and everything feels nice and comfy. Do keep an eye on black ice and take it easy...I take mostly main routes day or night.

    He is so cute...thanks for sharing your pics. This definitely calls for a nice ride to and from your grandson's house every time. Congratulations!

    Does not look like self-defense to me. He got his gone from the house and waited for the biker to pass by as he stood at the end of his driveway. He is in a big mess.

    What is good about the Odessey battery?

    I just put a hold on that book at my local public library.

    +1000. My co-worker has a RSTD and he will need to have his carb synched pretty soon. Can't wait to do it for him.

    Good Luck on that...but make sure your wife brings home some left over Turkey, if you decide to hang around your garage.

    I am new in the Venture world and before I reached 600 miles last month, I decided that I will really need something to synch my carbs long term. It is recommended to synch carbs every oil change and the first time I did it, it turned out not to be too bad after all. I was also surprised that my carbs were really off at 600 miles. I got myself a RPM meter to adjust idle and the Carbtune Pro...over time I am sure that it will pay for itself instead of having the dealership do it for you. I guarantee you, if you own a Venture...a Carbtune meter is a must to have. Ride safe.

    I can't imagine having pegs on my Venture. I guess there are those riders who own a bike with pegs and are begging to have floorboards for comfort and control and vise versa. Somebody mentioned about the Goldwing with pegs...I thought of the same thing as well. Perhaps it all comes down to which ones are you most used to having...but the long haul ride may dictate who wins between pegs and floorboards.

    What if I keep the radio off and ignition on accessory, is this ok?

    I do have a auto trickle charger and trickle charge my other car through the cigarette lighter plug. Can I also plug in my trickle charger via my Venture's 12V lighter plug?

    If that was me, I wouldn't pass on that offer. Take the offer before he goes back to Alabama.

    I am not too familiar with my radio controls either, but there may be a 'mute' function somewhere in there.

    It is good, if you can find the exact speaker that came with you '99 Venture. But this is a good time to upgrade and there are a number of aftermarket speakers that are superior to the OEM. The only drawback would be is to replace all speakers with similar kind.

    Looks like this cold weather has not yet hurt my mpg. My last tank averaged 40.8 mpg, with mostly highway . As for filling up with gas, how do you position your Venture? Do you fill up with gas with the handle bar all the way to the left or handle bar in the middle position or handle all the way to the right? I want to put the maximum amount of gas per fill up.

    , just what I needed.

    I ran Valvoline Moto 10W40 on my previous Vulcan all year long. I also have 10W40 in the Venture. It will be around 25°F Wednesday morning and I intend to ride from Wed. to Fri. It is time to plug in the Gerbings....

    ...that is a good assumption. I have no real explanation, but I know it does get a little hard to reach underneathe while polishing.

    For your scoot, I recommend Hanes. Is your bike a he or a she? Polo Ralph Lauren T-Shirts are also 100% cotton and thick. Do not get 'Fruit of the Loom'.
  22. N3FOL
    The next time you buy t-shirts, get the ones that are 100% cotton...so your Venture will benefit after you have outgrown them. Ride Safe.

    That may be a copy of Carbon One's product. It may not include the legs. Carbon One's adapter can be purchased with or without legs.
  24. N3FOL
    Try not not use an old t-shirt, because it has polyester and may scratch the finish of your bike. Always use a microfiber rag to prevent scratches.

    The picture you attached is my right side...I am also wondering what that piece of metal is for. Yours sure sounds like it is reversed, but not really sure now what is the right orientation of the metal. It may have something to do on who did the assembly of the bike at the dealership.
