Congratulations Short Haul - be sure to show us what you get

This was my FIRST Venturerider International Rally - not my first motorcycle rally by a long shot, however, by any interpretation, this was my most enjoyable experience at any motorcycle event I have ever attended. ( MD was a lot of fun but not like Potato Creek ) Leadwolf & Sue did an outstanding job with everything - 93Venture & Debbie made sure that nobody dehydrated ( at least the hydration was available, if you were too scared to drink it - sorry about your luck ) I finally got to put faces to names and hopefully most of them will stick with me ( crs does happen after 65 years ) I am looking forward to another Venturerider event that we will be able to attend - Thanks neighbors aarrrrggh !!

I know one thing - if there's a messed up shirt count, I can very firmly blame it on Sue's Brew. I don't remember who talked me into drinking it but I had a cup of it while me & Leadwolf were counting and sorting shirts. That's my story and I'm sticking to it !!

Had to give our cat a pill tonight - How to give a cat a pill Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink one beer to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Open another beer. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Drink beer. Fetch bottle of Scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus jab. Apply compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot. Throw tee-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom. Ring fire brigade to retrieve the &*$%#@ cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil-wrap. Tie the little bastard's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table. Find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth, followed by large piece of fillet steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down. Consume remainder of Scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room. Sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table. Arrange for SPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters. HOW TO GIVE A DOG A PILL Wrap it in bacon.

not really - I didn't catch the whole name of the winner and I'm pretty sure Leadwolf is still recuperating - I'll bet he'll have some good info this PM
-

unfortunately, no contact results in a no fault - Good luck with recovery and the resulting turmoil with insurance coverage -

Wizard - you didn't have to win anything at the dinner, you won at the campground -- Monty - no I didn't get the horn on yet, it's only been 12 hours - 99 silver - yer Welcome !

We just rolled in as well. Not to be redundant but Leadwolf56 and Sue did a GREAT job setting up and keeping things rolling for this the 5th anniversary of the International Rally. I suspect that when Robin gets to a computer there will be many pictures posted - I didn't get a head count but I'll bet someone did. I can't speak for anybody else but myself and my wife had a great time and we both met many new to us people and I can finally put a face to a name as long as crs doesn't kick in.

Tripod - in looking thru the pics in the album, I noticed that you had a couple T-8 bulbs - were those used for a straight edge ? I'm trying picture their use ????

That's what I was wondering - The camera seems to be keeping up with the wing -

ooooops -

No - this darn thing wines sitting still - then it gets worse as the speed increases - 55 mph is the worst area and cruising at 65 70 coming back from RT was a real pain in the ear.

A friend of mine had one several years ago and had it so tricked out you would think it was a gator headlights, tail/brake lights, AM/FM and over sized tires. I wish I could remember the name of the Cart people that has all the neat stuff. Did you say and mean 25 mph ? pretty fast - Tiger would be envious

You know of course that dealers buy at WHOLESALE and sell at RETAIL - so his offer of $6200 can be increased by $2500 to $3000 for retail - depending on how clean, detailed etc your bike is.

I have used the Mobile 1 V Twin 2 times in my Venture - wasn't happy with either run. I just put in Suzuki Motorcycle racing oil that my Yammy shop recommended, still have a whine but I 'think' it's a little quieter. If it (whine) get's annoying, I'll try the Mobile 1 Racing 4T - not sure I've seen it anywhere tho -

With an attitude like that you will surely prevail However - if you don't mind I will still send a prayer or two your way for continued healing
