    He's probably hiding from Cinderella...

    I would also recommend checking the bore of the cylander for scores or pits and hone if necessary...

    If anybody buys it, I'm looking for good upper fairings...

    No, you only THINK you know me, Peggy!! I'm just seting back soaking in al the comments so far. I personally think they are funny! Also, as I previously stated, I am highly honored and flattered by the Joopster for this thread! I also know I'm not the only one he photographs so I'm wondering who's next...

    Hobbies

    bongobobny replied to BuckShot's topic in Watering Hole

    I like photography, home improvement, music, travelling, socializing, and doing things for others. Not necessarily in that order. Right now, though, my main hobby is restoring/improving my 2 Venture Royales. This afternon I'm polishing a boatload of bolts and brake hardware...

    OK, so now my story. Went to an airshow in '86 with my then girlfriend Becky and saw a VR immediately fell in love! I was riding a XS500 at the time. Thought it was the ultimate in motorcycles but couldn't afford anything like it. It far surpassed the Gold Wings of the time. Fast forward to three years ago. My Honda CX650 was blown of the centerstand and sustained some damage, I had that bike since '94 so it was time to either hang it up or find a bike my now wife Becky and myself both liked. Well, a guy at work had a neighbor who had this old classic motorcycle with low miles so I went to see it. One test drive and we were sold and the rest is history!! It had 8700 miles and I got it for $2700!! This is most likely the last scoot I will ever own, unless we actually wear it out bewfore we are too far gone to ride any more... PS the bike I saw at the airshow was a blonde as well!

    the Royale came with an AM/FM?Cassette unit that is also tied into an intercom unit. The radio amp has a circuit that automatically increases the volume as your speed increases. There is also an optional CB radio that ties in with the intercom as well. They pop up on ebay all the time. They consist of the radio control module, the preamp control module, the tuner chassis, and the main amplifier unit. The wiring is most likely already part of your harness. Depending on whether or not you need/want an intercom, many members and non members have installed a regular car stereo on the bike. If you go this route, I would strongly recommend a marine type stereo, such as the Sony unit...

    How about Emm Tee, for Miss Troublemaker???:stirthepot: Of course it could be Cutie (QT), for Queen Troublemaker...

    You may have a contaminated gas tank, and changing the fuel filter temporarily fixed it but now the new fuel filter may be just as plugged up, but go with the previous suggestion first. Just a thought, but it would not really explain your initial problem, just the starting problem...

    Ditto, and Ditto!!! Did you get your snowblower fixed Tom??
  12. bongobobny
    Uhhhhh, thanks, Carl, I feel warmer already...

    Uhhhhhhhh... I'm flattered beyond description, Joopie!

    Tire manufacturers recommend NOT using a tire more than 6 years old. This is especially important for 2 wheeled vehicles...

    5 down, 20 to go...

    Hey Buddy!!! Good to see you back again!
  17. bongobobny
    You are right about the battery indicator. You can eliminate the problem by hooking up a 5 - 15K resistor (I think that's the value that works) from the sense line to +12v, perferably switched 12 volts. There is a thread somewhere on this site about it. It's what all of us Odessy battery users have to do...

    I'm just puttering around the house finishing up with the living room remodelling job. Took a break to see what's happening here. Trying to deal with all the snow this winter...

    The real issue is money!! (As if you hadn't figured that out) The state is going broke and is looking for more and more ways to get revenue, such as unpaid trafic tickets, etc.

    What a NICE wife!!!!!

    Probably the old Dissimilar Material Expansion and Contraction Syndrome again. Lots of people north of you have experienced this condition...
  22. bongobobny
    Ditto, and not sure I want to either...

    Get that Metzler of the back and you would have a perfect bike! Very nice indeed!!

    We heard the news last night and was saddened indeed, but know that he is in a much better place now. Our prayers for the family dealing with this difficult time. I was glad to have had the chance to meet him in person and only wish we could have got to know him a little better. RIP Darrell.

    Wow! Welcome back!! Sorry for your bad news but then again I'm happy for your good news as well! Glad you picked up the pieces and moved on, and that you do not harbor any ill feelings. Terriffic! Both of you are still family here and always welcome!
