As mentioned, one needs a nose gunner to keep the deer away here in rural Georgia after dark.

http://mc.bridgestone.co.jp/pdf/mcintroe.pdf Explains MC tire construction and shows differences between car and MC tires.

If its been sitting for almost 20 years... There could be a lot wrong with it from deterioration/ rust or maybe it just needs a cleanup inside and fresh lube everywhere. The tires will be rotted. They appear to still have the blue die on the raised white letters. Hopefully no rust in the cylinders. Trying to start it before its cleaned up is likely the wrong thing to do, as the rings and pistons could be rusted and now have a damaged bore and valves.

I bought Lilbeaver's extra pair of Kuryakyn Longhorn footpegs. (Thanks Lilbeaver). I put them on for the trip to the International Rally and they were great. (I have a 29 inch inseam). I have them at a very slight angle back which works fine. Any further back and they interfere with the foot brake and shifter.

New to me '06 venture. Oil? Filter?
RandyR replied to Whitetales's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
The reason a lot of MC riders use diesel oil is that most automotive oils have additives that may not be combatible with a wet clutch. There is a lot of evidence that diesel oil provides similar protection at a better cost than the specialty motorcycle oils. -
Thats a great price. I bought a new old-stock blue/black 08 RSTD in April. I have also seen a few 06 and 07 new old-stock machines for sale.

Thanks Ponch. You got some good shots.

I'll throw a couple sets of brake pads in my bag...
-
Don't forget to have a Vernor's ginger ale while you're there....
-
Interesting. Until this thread I believed the rear pads were only good for about 10-15K miles max. So, I guess the posts I'd read previously were the worst extremes in terms of wear, rather than the norm or possible max.
-
You did good. Thats a beautiful package.

In many cases my virus blocker flags the advertisements that a site is linked to, rather than the site itself. Commercial sites frequently try to download software bits to people's computers. With all the fancy add-ons to web pages, its hard to differentiate useful and needed software from the intrusive and malicious.

spam and a fraud.

Nice to see it all neatly laid out. http://www.seven-streamliner.com/images/static-images/motor-apart.jpg

If you can see the pic and everyone else can't then either its on YOUR computer, or its on a web page (ftp site) where no one else has read access.

I'm not a 1st gen rider, but this sounds like it could be the cold solder joint problem that the 1st gen tci's develop.

Still the 2009 models posted for RSV and RSTD.

I'll be there tuesday at 6:30pm. btw. just back from a short trip down GA 400 to Dawsonville to get some fence posts for a garden. Saw three 2nd Gen Ventures go by headed north around 3:30pm. First a lone green one, then a white one and a I-Ferget-the-color one about a mile later. Someone must have yelled free beer on CB channel 29.
-
no picture.... Is it something like this?
-
Rib Country? If Don wants to do that I could meet you Tuesday evening.
-
As soon as you're back in Georgia and have fresh oil in your scoot.
