I guess this means that I can't use "Gator got your Granny" as the title for my next post?? :stirthepot: :rotfl:

Stainless brake lines?
Steve S replied to OldBear's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
I changed mine out 2 years ago.. I LOVE them. Much better braking control. :dancefool: -
Thankfully there are several options for an upgrade to the stock bulb. The bulb itself is a H-4 automotive bulb that can be found at most any auto parts and Wal-Mart. I chose one of the brighter "Blue" bulbs that was offered by Sylvania. You can check them out and pick what you think is best for your riding style. :mo money:

Dang Boss, you sure don't mind loading us up while you go "play" at the corporate office. Do you have any idea just how much trouble Mini can stir up while you are away? She is a one woman wrecking team with top World honors. We will try, but don't kick us all out if you come back and find evidence of the wild party... :stirthepot:

Who would have thunk it??? :confused24: Thanks for posting your story. It will make me wary of water across the road. Hope you recover soon...

Hey Dan. Did your doctor give you any ideas about where your gloves might be??? :rotfl: :rotfl: :stirthepot:

The charging system on the Venture is more than adaquate to completely charge the battery. If a battery will not hold a charge over night, then it is pretty evident that you have a bad battery. (This would apply to ANY lead/acid battery). I have never used a Battery Tender on my bike and the first battery lasted over 4 1/2 years. I often leave my bike sit for more than 30 days while I am at work. My truck sits for the entire month as well and the battery doesn't run down. I would say that you have a dealer that A., doesn't want to help you or B., just doesn't give a squat about his customers. Good luck with it.

That looks AWESOME... :banana: :mo money:

Sounds good to me. We will see how w*** cooperates. I know the Warden would be all for it. :banana:

I'll take 2 "cagers" and 1 MC. I'll keep working on the idea for a plate. Im just not very artistic and dont have access to a decent computer progranm for designs while I'm at work.

The longer trailer was $254. I think it was worth every penny... :mo money:

I'm thinking that Vogel is the destination that she has in mind. :banana: I'll send you a PM when I get back in Steve. I'm thinking a radiatior grill is in order for a nice Christmas present...

http://picturesI would like to take a moment to thank EVERYONE that had anything, in any way, to do with the International Rally and the raffling of the trailer. It is an honor to be this year's recipiant of the grand prize. I got the trailer home from Des Moines IA late Wednesday night and finally got to take some pictures of it yesterday. (I will post them after lunch.) I can not say enough about the people at Thomas Bus Sales in Des Moines. They were wonderful to deal with and very professional in thier actions. I got to pick out the trailer I wanted and they had it prepped and loaded in 15 minutes. We were back on the road headed to Ky in less than 30 minutes total. I am looking forward to loading it up and heading out to the mountains when I return from work in late Sept. The Warden has already picked us out a location to go down in the Smokies... :dancefool: Again, Thank You to everyone that made this possible,, And ECK,, sorry about your luck man..LOL

Has anyone made, or had made, a license plate that has the motto "Life's a Venture" written on it. I want to get one to put on the rear of my newly aquired trailer that I am now the proud owner of. :banana: There is a large void on the lower part of the rear of the trailer, I am planning to put the "Life's a Venture" license plate on the trailer with the " ventureriders.org" over the top of it. I am open to suggestions for a design for one if anyne is interested in helping. I really think the raised decal that Freebird has produced would look good in a license plate form, but I want to get the approval of the "Boss" before I go using that. I believe that we should stay with one standard for the advertisement of this group. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks

Thanks Squidley. There is really no reason to make things "go south' over a news item. If a person has that much anger in them, please get some help for it. I have found everyone on this site to be loving, caring people and there is really not a legitimate reason to upset anyone... Just my modest, unsolicited opinion.

Peg, Do not allow the opinions of a few that cannot control thier fingers to stop you from posting. I didn't get to see the post, but if you were reporting news, and someone decided to be ugly about it, they are at fault, not you. Please continue to be the loving Yama Mama that we all love and enjoy abusing... :banana:

Dano.. I did that while my wife was on with me. I wasn't scared until she started climbing up on my back... :whistling:

Ok... What kind is it and what should a man(or woman) pay for it???? :mo money:

Check the KILL switch on the handlebar... :whistling: :whistling: You may want to know,, but I aint telling...... :no-no-no:

Leave it to Don to show up at the Rally with a blow-up doll......... :stirthepot: :stirthepot: :stirthepot: :whistling: :whistling: -
Thank ye, thank ye, thank ye... I really can't believe it. I have never won anything in a raffle, but I will take it and I WILL use it.(Much to the dismay of the Warden).(She doesn't like camping). I'm really sorry that I couldn't make it to the Rally, but God had other plans for me this week so I cant really say that it was a bad decision. I do wish I could get it before Vogel though..LOL Thanks to everyone that helped with the Rally this year. Maybe it will be in the cards for me to make it next year. And Eck,, I'm so sorry that you couldn't win it, but I really think it went to the best person... :rotfl: :stirthepot:

I have worked for companies that used the Mobil Delvac oil in their deisel engines with good results. I really believe the most important thing is a regular maintainance program regardless of which oil you use. Now that the "Black Beast" is out of warranty I am going to switch to deisel oil. Probably Rotella because it is readily available in this area.

At 2:10 on July 30th 2009 the Lord blessed us with a 7lb, 15oz grandson named Austin Bradley. :banana: :banana: Both mama and baby are doing fine, but I don't think we will ever get that grin off of the proud papa's face. Not to mention both sets of grandparents... :rotfl: I promise to take pics today and will post them later. Now for the bad news. Since the Warden has STILL NOT been able to return to work since the surgery on her foot, this was 9 weeks ago, I will not be able to make it to The Hub this weekend. HOWEVER, I WILL make it to Vogel for those that are sorely disappointed that I wont show up at the International Rally . I was really looking forward to finally getting to meet some of the people that I see on here. Oh well, maybe next year. For everyone that is traveling this week, my prayers are that all of your travels will be done safely.

Naptha is a petroleum distilate that has a very low flash point.(It is NOT a generic name for petroleum distilate) Hence it is used in lighter fluids and camp stove fuels. It can be used in your motorcycle fuel, but it will lower the flash point making the fule burn off faster. Deisel fuel and Kerosene are both fuel OILS and have similar properties and similar flash points. (115 to 125 degrees F.) While they both can be run in a deisel engine, I would not use either one in a typical gasoline engine. These as well as mineral spirits can be used as parts cleaners. (they will burn, but not as likely to explode.) If you feel that Sea Foam is getting too expensive try switching to another type of carb cleaner. I have used Gumout for several years with great results. STP also makes a good one. It is important to use these as needed. If you store your ride through the winter then use some Sta-Bil in the fuel before storing. When you first get it out in the spring, drain the tank and add fresh gas with a cleaner in it. The main thing is to not let your ride get so gummed up that it needs a deep cleaning. Just my totally unsolicited opinion. It and 2 bucks will get you coffee...
