    Mike, You can run it with that in there, your gonna have to sooner or later. It will probably run like crap as I find my 1st big ride of the year I want to run that tank out of it and start with fresh. I too try to go for a ride on January 1st, as long as the roads are dry and have been free from salt for a while. If the day is above freezing and sunny....I'm going for a ride!

    Buddy, I can relate to what your going through, you probably remember when Lonna and I wiped our bike out in Baton Rouge on January 2 of this year. I can honestly say that I was ready to get on a bike within 2 weeks after the crash. Get back on the horse as soon as possible, I do believe that statement. Lonna was a little more apprehensive about getting back on, but she trusts me and my ability, so she too got back on with me. Thats the only reason I bought a new Venture. If she would have called it quits, I would have bought a different machine. I wont lie and say that crashing doesn't come into my mind, it does, more often than it did before. But I'll be damned if I let fear win, I don't back away from anything, and if I'm meant to die on a bike...then I will. I know there are others that have either triked their bikes or got rid of the scoot and purchased smaller convertables. They still ride with us and have lots of fun in their new ride, that might be an option for you. All the best in your recovery, and as always, were here if you need to chat

    He's been here long enough to know that he doesn't need a bike to be here. I'm fairly confident he wont be going anywhere, he can always show in a cage

    Nah....you have to look at the source of who's saying all of it, it's just Dan and we NEVER pay attention to him

    Lonna is still sleeping, and even though I might be able to make it there by 9am (If I go 300 miles an hour) she wouldn't be ready....go ahead and start without me

    There you have hit on the quandry, if your into longer touring the larger bags on the 1300's are great. I had a problem with the saddlebags not staying closed on my '84 and I hated that. Of all the Ventures the 1st gen MkII bags are the best as far as space and being able to carry more goes

    I'd love to!.....but wait, I'm further than 150 miles from Fayetteville

    I'll have you know this is a family site and we'll have no 4 letter words or pics of THAT stuff openly displayed on here!

    I beg to differ my friend, in '06 when Lonna and I took our 28 day 10000 mile trip on my 2nd '99 we were in Wyoming. Matter of fact we stayed in Evanston right at the Utah border....but I am planning on coming to the Cody Roundup, you guys are doing a fine job with the planning

    If you like fried chicken...you'll love deep fried Turkey. This was my 2nd one and like you saw in the pics...there wasn't much left, ours was only 10 lbs. George and Kenny...dont be the pot calling the kettle black there guys

    Jacques, I know that the stainless brake lines are a big improvement to the system. I also use EBC HH brake pads as I haven't found anything better. If you haven't gone through the master cylinders I would do that. Keep in mind as it has been said that the bike has a linked braking system. The rear petal engages the rear brake caliper and the left front caliper. If you dont have that part of the system working right your loosing LOTS of your braking power. Keep us updated on your progress and we'll help you out as much as we can. Just wish across the pond wasn't so far away, wouldn't mind coming to France and help you with it and see Paris too

    Mike, Many of us just make sure the tank is full and either Seafoam or Stabil is in the tank. I have never heard of anyone fogging the cylinders and I personally never have. I wouldn't put a cover over it either unless it was being stored outside and in the weather. A cover will build condensation and could start corrosion if it's in a garage.

    Sorry but my picks would just be of the bones...we did just what you did Forrestt and deep fried ours Yum Yum!

    Chris, Some folks use the Oddessy batteries and have very good luck with them. I have seen a couple that didn't work out so well, but thats few and far between. I usually stick with the stock replacement which is a Yuasa. I have had good luck with them, but I tend to swap out my battery about every 2 to 3 years. For me it's cheap insurance to not be in Wyoming and have a battery crap out on me.

    True to form Forrestt, there are certain things (or people) that are a given
