1st Gen Windshield
Squidley replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Thanks Gary, I'll check and see if they have anymore. I did look on ebay 1st but figured if someone had one laying around I could just as easily put some cash in their pocket -
1st Gen Windshield
Squidley replied to Squidley's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Yes and no in that order, just posted a thread about the room I have reserved at the Ponderosa to see if someone wants it before I cancell it -
Unfortunately Lonna and I aren't going to be able to make the International in Cody. Way back when last year I reserved a room there in the hopes that we would be there. I haven't cancelled this reservation yet, but wanted to offer it up to any of our members if they want to have the room. Anyone interested PM me or post on this thread and I'll make sure that when I cancell that we get your name in there. This is a 1st come 1st serve deal, so the 1 responce I get is the one that will get it. If you want to call me my cell is in my profile.

Rider Down - Pegasus 1300
Squidley replied to utadventure's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
Paul, Your accident was pretty much identical to the one my wife and I went through on January 2 2008. We were in Louisianna on I10 just west of Baton Rouge when my rear tire blew out on one of those reflectors in the road, just zippered the sidewall of the tire open at 75 mph. My back was jacked up for a couple of months and Lonna had a broken collarbone. Way no fun, I dont think I got the speed down too much, probably 60 mph before I couldn't control the bike anymore. I, like you, have a firm belief that God was right there with us, or atleast one of his angels because I still find it hard to believe we walked away from that accident. All the best to you folks and I wish you speedy healing. -
Hey Folks, Just wanted to post up and see if anyone has a decent used windshield for a 1st gen. Perhaps one that was taken off when it was upgraded to a clearview or such. It has to be in good shape, I dont want something all scratched up or cut down, I'm pretty picky on looking through a shield f anyone has a good one laying around that they want to get rid of I'd like to chat with you...Thanks.

Nice job! That looks really good, and those are fun to ride, I dont care who you are

You dont owe anything, glad that it wasn't worse. Jack Wagon.....I love that word

Glad to hear you made it home in 1 piece, we went outside and you were gone like the wind. Good to hear that you felt the carb sync helped out, not just have to lower the bike a bit

I would check for spark on #3 cylinder when cold, and see if it kicks in after it's warmed up. It's not uncommon for the G2's to have bad coils, I know of several that have been replaced under warranty

You guys crack me up, I'm just gonna shoot it, just remember, never underestimate your adversary In all seriousness, it is a tragedy but one that possibly could have been avoided. If you ever see a mother and cubs go the other way fast, that is real life out there and will smack you into the reality of the world in a heartbeat .

He's definitely in the zone on that ride

Nice find, dont care what anyone thinks, those scooters are fun to ride

The roads heading into Tehquamenon Falls are nice, along the northern shore of Lake Superior are reasonable too.

Just so you folks know, the '83 to '85 use a different style of Markland hitch it wont work on the MKII's '86 to '93. You'll have to buy a Markland hitch for your specific year, theu wont interchange without major modifying

And there you have it from a pure amature

Have a safe trip back Dennis

All the best to you John, mind your P's & Q's and get yourself better.

Just an update... WOW! What a Weekend!!! Had an awesome time, as usual, with Kenny, Beth and the bretheren. Lonna said she had an idea about Brad and Rhonda coming down, but I had been so busy I never really gave it a thought. It was a great surprise and I really want to thank all 3 of them for coming down, makes the homesickness for our northern friends a little easier to deal with. Lots of work got done, I will start putting the plastic back on the '86 this week and start riding it. Did a lot of work to it and changed all fluids and fork seals/progressive springs. It was nice having an extra long weekend to be able to stay that extra day. Thanks to all who came and made it a very memorable time, even got to meet a couple new to me members. Of course no good deed goes unpunished, made it home with zero traffic issues, only to walk into a house that was 100 degrees AC decided to stop working! That pretty much sucked and ended up running around at 8pm buying some box fans to try and cool the house down. AC guy will be out this afternoon and charge up the freon and clean the system I'll try to get some pics up in a few days, Thanks again to our Bogalusa hosts, you 2 ROCK!!!

We drove strait through to Kenny and Beths last night. Got here at about 2:30 this morning and I'm already tearing MY, yes I said MY bike apart (I know it sounds fishy, but it's true) Looking forward to seeing folks when they get here, have a safe trip to those that are on the pavement!

It doesn't look familiar to me, but then there aren't that many RSV's with Motor Trike kits on them. It's a shame they quit making them for the RSV, I think they look great on the 2nd gens, better than the Hannigans or any others IMO

Even with a Dum Dum, I still carry my truckers atlas on the bike. It's spiral wound and laminated, you never know when dum dum will decide that it wants to die and that can make for an interesting run if you have no clue where your at
