    Time to get out the snow brush, mount the snow tires, put on the winter wiper blades, change the oil in the snowblower, what else???

    I understand what you are going thru and am glad you came up with such a great deal on the Chevy Hot Rod! Being a diabetic myself, and loosing a toe to the disease this summer, my choice is to turn my Venture into a trike in the next couple of years. You are always welcome around here as this is a site for enthusiasts, not necessarily persent owners. This site is family and no one wants you to leave the family...

    Yah! Cold!! I'm thinking Saturday was our last ride for the season... Glad you are finally enjoying the scoot again, Ben!

    Replace the switch! They are still available for around 50 bucks. Don't waste your time with another used switch like I did as now I have to replace it again. There are 2 sets of contacts and a common ground on the switch. One set of contacts controls the ignition and the other set lights up the display on the dash.

    What to do?

    Lou, rule of thumb (whatever that saying means...) is to never take the first offer! Insurance companies are not in business to give away money, but rather save themselves money...
  7. bongobobny
    Agreed! Great to finally meet you in person, and am looking forward to doing it again some time!

    Probably about the same as yours, Allen! We will be riding towards your area or at least towards Jamestown and west today. Why not join us? We are meeting at Earl's restaurant on Rt 16 between noon and 1 for lunch...

    Literally right around the corner from me, and yes, is a great dealer. Several members here have their scoots worked on there including a Canadian!!! If you are in the area stop by and visit us as well!

    Awwwww, I guess that means you won't be dropping by again. Sure enjoyed the visit you gave this summer.

    Hey capton, if you happen to be coming thru this way around noon be sure to drop in at Earls on rt 16 just north of rt 39 for lunch and say hi to some fellow Ventureriders!! That's the day of my 3rd annual fall folage ride!
  12. bongobobny
    Great!! Glad to hear of your good fortune and hope you have success! Yes, God is good...

    Mine was tight like that too, but it broke loose with impacting the ratchet handle a few times. Sure thought I was going to strip it out too. Used some penatrating oil on it and let it soak an hour or so as well...

    Hmmmm, I've seen those places, and people before...

    Welcome to my world, Dano...

    NO, NO, NO!!! Do not use the "S" word in a motorcycle forum...

    You guys had a GREAT day weather wise, and yes I wish I could have been there! Glad James got to go out and play for a change!! Of course, we ARE enjoying our 4 star hotel room right now! Sure beats Super 8's...

    OK I'm thinking 1 of 2 things. The software did a no-no and screqed up the OS. Yes, you wil need a recovery disc which nowdays you have to purchase separately from the manufactrurer. It used to be you got a copy free with the computer as well as a copy of the OS but those days are long gone. The second possibility, I hate to say, is that your hard drive took a dump. Had that happen a couple of years ago on a computer that was less than 3 years old...

    OK I'm a 1st Gen'er but I'll take the first stab. Rejetting. May or may not help, but I'm thinking with a free flowing exhaust as well as a less restrictive air cleaner, you may indeed need to richen up the mix a tad. Unfortunately the real answer is to try it out and see for yourself if it makes a difference in response with the engine breathing better. Spark plugs. The Iridium may not make a noticible performance difference, but you will gain some longevity with those plugs. It is up to you to decide whether the extra money is worth the extra longevity. They better last 4 times as long to justify the cost... Gas. You will have to try two or three tankfuls of each and monitor your gas mileage for each tankful and grade. If you run OK on 87 then by al means go for it. I have an Intrepid R/T that gets an extra MPG or 2 with mid premium, but the cost per mile is higher so it does not make sound financial sense to use the 89 when it seems to run fine on 87. I'm sure you wil get other opinions soon...

    We are heading for Toronto tomorrow afternoon but it will be in the cage. Meeting up with Mother and Ohhhh Sherry Sunday. I am planning a fall color ride for next weekend if you are interested, we are about 1 hr from the Peace Bridge. More info to follow in "Meets and Eats" section soon...

    My week was less than stellar as well, but we made it! Gotta work tomorrow AM but at noon we are leaving for Toronto for the weekend, unfortunately in the cage as the inspection on the bvike expired at the end of September. We are celebrating our 19th Anniversary that happened Tuesday. We will be meeting up with VR members Sunday...

    Hope to run into you (not literally) sometime Knees! Lots of Ventureriders near you and lots of meets that even us Yanks come up for...

    I have a set of passenger pegs off my scoot ...aomewhere... as well as dfriver pegs in pretty good shape. Don't have time to look for them this weekend but can look next week. Now, all I needs to figure out is who wants what and what your address is...
  24. bongobobny
    I usually use the Chevron Delo but there is a gallon jug of Shell Rotella setting out in the garage right now waiting to be put in...

    Lou, glad you are OK! Asphalt surfing is NOT a good pastime...
