What a weekend!!! I have never been to a M&E or a MD that wasn't a good time, this was no exception. Fridays trip SUCKED! no easy way to sugar coat it. Started raining on us in Beaumont and continued off and on all the way to Hammond LA when I finally said I was done and was getting a room. Saturday shaped up quickly and we made it Kbrans by 10:30 and started jumping right into the tasks at hand. Boomer showed up shortly after 11 and the Scooter Bob and Walter with his wife Betty. We pretty much had Boomers bike completely apart and made sure he was all good to go for a hopefully heavy riding season for him. In all we did 3 tire changes, which included a 3 hour trip to find a valve stem (right Kenny ) Driveshaft and hub lube. 3 Carbsyncs, a complete fluid change on Walts '99, 2 rear brake jobs, a weld job for Boomer. A windshield cut down, oh and replaced a blown fuse for Gunboats driving lights...I think that was it? Lots of fantastic Cajun cooking, yes Lewis that was me with the little bit of Crawfish pie infront of my mug and it was fantastic! Some Gumbo, and Jumbyliah and too much other good eats...cheesecake too Lonna and I had a great time, it's definitely what the doctor ordered as we needed to get out of Houston even if it was only for 3 days. Kenny and Beth, thank you so much for the hospitality, you know you both are 2 of our favorite people to spend time with. Kudos the 1st Loozianner MD and lets hope it's not the last. Boomer...It was a pleasure my friend to finally meet you, anytime any place, the phone is on. I'll work on getting some pics up today...head still feels like it's going to blow up. Thanks again to all and Bob...be safe you nut case! Guy has Brass testes riding from Wisconsin, it was great to see you again.

No need to ponder it...do it! my '86 I had ran the best it ever did after I basically beat it running 90 mph on the interstate when we were late for a M&E. Bike purred the rest of the day after that -
It's only gonna get warmer, be safe Bob and we'll see you in Bogalusa

Thats what I was thinking

Need a bit of help

Thats a good idea, another thing I'd like to ask is does the smoke linger? If for some reason it's burning oil the smoke would linger around where a water type vapor will disperse fairly quickly. BTW where in Texas are you? -
Wayne, Have you made any headway with your jack?
-
Thats a fine looking picture

I understand your frustration, the last time he signed into this forum was November 18th of last year. Not defending him, and he could still lurk without signing in, but when was the last time you actually talked with him? I dont want to think the worst, but lets see if we can get ahold of him again.
-
Be safe my friend, it's all getting warmer the further you go Close enough on the spelling too.
-
I ain't skeered of that Texan! Besides, I happen to know he has a liking for Harley Davidsons, a birdie told me he sat on one the other day
-
Awwww Love you too, Fat Bastard FWIW this is an ongoing joke between Ruffy and me.

Hi Buddy....Long time no see
-
Bob....where you at right now??

Chief, I was with Ponch today and I have 2 sets of rear pads for the G2, 1 is the HH sintered pads and the others are organic. Both sets are EBC's so we got you cover for a complete brake job if need be. We'll be there Saturday morning with Gunboat.
-
I have a set from a Goldwing that I was going to try and mount to the '89 until I came across aset that actually were made for the bike. I didn't put them on but if your interested in them let me know.

Be safe my friend, we'll see you in Bogalusa

Hazen, All the best of luck my friend, I will tell you 1 thing, this job market, if you can call it that is brutal. I am as discouraged as I have even been in my life looking for a job. Michigan is turning into a wasteland and I feel badly for all my friends and family that are stuck there. Good luck in your quest, I'll chat with the life giver for you folks.
-
We'll hammer out of here early Saturday morning, We'll play it by ear as to if it's a bike or the cage. We might cage it as Gunboat could catch some zzzz's as I know he'll be tired from work. It'll come together 1 way or another

Patrick, I know there are some pics here on the site, look in the search bar and type in carb drains. Here's what I came up with just now and I know there are other pics on the site http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=29559&highlight=carb+bowls

86 project ? is part needed?
Squidley replied to bald josh's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Contact RandyA as I think he removed them when he went to the bikini side covers on his '83. Also too if you go with solid motor mounts that will stiffen up the entire frame. -
Now your cookin'...."plan it and they will come" have a great time with it
-
If you believe that your fuel filter is or was clogged then make sure that you drain your carb bowls to get any sediment out of them.
-
Not a snowballs chance in hell that I'll go back to live in Michigan But perhaps some of the guys there will get their entrepreneur innerself going.

It's nice to have Christmas all year

Just make it down in 1 piece Bob and we'll do whatever needs to be done Bud....be safe and I hope it clears up for you soon
