sleepy2

Thanks for all the comments and concern . Phantom Wife was NOT with me luckily !!!! This trailer is my new one and was not hit before. Wish I had of gone to international but didn't make up mind in time then Phantom got sick (cold/congestion/) so decided to stay home. Still locking into going to New York mini rally tho.Depending on getting time off.

Coming home from helping son on his truck and just started holidays and WHAM cagger slammed into back of trailer. Lucky I had trailer on and not just bike. I wasn't hurt just a few choice words said! Checked over bike and seemed OK. Lucky I did an over-kill job on hitch nothing done. Took bike for long ride and seems OK. What a way to start holidays.

Fuse?

Sorry to be late also!!!! Best wishes from Phantom Wife & I!!:Happy Birthday:

Got back from Watkins Glenn State park on Fri. afternoon. Went down Mon. morning . Brother-in-law didn't get to ride his new purchase(2000 Gold-wing) because when he was tagging his cows one slammed his hand into a steel pipe and it swelled up to twice the size. So they drove Phantoms car down and we rode bike. Got caught in rain storm just 40 miles from site but dried out on way there. Didn't get to go on too many rides but enjoyed what we did. SORRY we didn't get to visit anyone while we were down in the area!! Lucky they took car because new trailer I bought didn't carry as much as I hoped. Pictures to come!! Won't be going to International BUT hopping to get to go to New York mini rally again.

bongobobny---- PM sent

VERY nice ride!!Marcarl/Marca--Brad(BradT)/Rhonda(Naugh-T)--sleepy2 showed for ride.As always great Ice-cream!!!

Just left Brad's place and he is thinking about it also but will not know for sure till around 6. Just had shower and am ready to go. Phantom Wife will problebly not be coming because she got her hair done.Don;t want hat head!

When & where ?

Carl (MarCarl)or Wayne(Wizard 765) Is there a ride tonight?????? I finally have time I can actually go!!!!

Well hope you all have a great Maintenance day this week-end! As I stated before I will NOT be going as Phantom Wife has a surprise Anniversary party for her sister planned. Then have to drive to Sarnia to pick up nephew's car and tow back to Woodstock. Also just got her dog out of vet after eating some stones and will have a BBBBIIIIIGGGGG Vet bill. Wish I could have been there!!!

Very nice looking paint! Color is up to person who owns bike!!!(although some might think that bike would have been better original--as there were few made I guessStill looks good!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good!

Rode to work all last week and this week! Going to take bike in for 13000klm servicing tomorrow.

Happy BELATED Birthday!!!!!!!!!!:Happy Birthday: Brad should have said something and we could have had a coffee at least.

Same here made my own from small car hitch(cut it down to fit) Made my own wiring patch also since I needed it right away to go to maintenance day last year or I would have bought them from the members on sight. Also dealer wouldn't install because of liability issues . Usually takes 1/2 hour to remove saddle bags,hitch and disconnect harness then put in original spacer so I can take in for dealer service then change back when I get it home. They know I tow a trailer as I showed up a few times with bike I traded in(2000 Road-star) to buy 2012 Venture.

Thanks for the camp grounds. In laws said they stayed at KOA campgrounds before. We were thinking on reservations but they would sooner wait till we get there. Was also wondering about places to sight-see while there.

Got lights and DID go for a few hours ride. Visited with Brad & Rhonda and had coffee then left for a ride. Will work later. Thanks again!

Phantom Wife,myself & brother and sister-in-laws will be trying out motorcycle camping the last week of our holidays in July(2nd week). They are thinking in this area as in-laws camped in the area (by car) years ago so it will be an adventure I am thinking!!! Any ideas for where to go while here? Am thinking on showing up at BongoBob's sometime along the way.Will be definitely showing them the restaurant we had our last breakfast at last year. ANY help will be appreciated!!!!

That's the same bike I would have bought BUT $30,000 ++++++ was one of the MAIN reasons not to buy along with THE HEAT! Otherwise really nice bike. Main thing I did like was the frame attached fairing and dual headlights. BUT am NOT sorry I bought 2012 Venture! Let's ride!

Got old brackets cut and ground off last night.Used flap wheel which caused less sparks. Just getting ready to weld spacer pieces to bracket which I will eventually BOLT to frame with grade8 bolts. Might have to wait as it is really sunny right now so do I go for ride or work on trailer? Getting really hard to think as there are a lot of bikes driving by. Will see. THANKS AGAIN for your response!!!!!!!!

Need to know how safe it is to grind off the original spring mounts from a home-made fiberglass trailer.Had new axle and springs made and original mounts are in wrong place to reuse and also make trailed too high.Frame is steel but fiberglass is pretty close and have heard it is flammable? Any ideas????? If I can grind off old mounts it would be possible to bolt new ones on instead of welding.

I bet the caption would be I know that the picture taker is going to use this for a caption opportunity at MY EXPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!! Well let them have their fun!!!!!!!!!!! I am having a great time trying to figure one myself!

I have new 2012 Venture and am with TD Insurance(Primmum Insurance) with full coverage because new and it is a total of $1100 . Says it is because of area and ridding to work distance.Also coverage up to 10,000klms annually (which I surpassed by just over 3500klms)LOVE MY BIKE!!!! Don't regret buying it over Harley one bit!!!!! Can't really get cheaper because of financing! Also a bit high because of accident 4years ago.

Nice bike!!!!! But Phantom wife still likes the red fleck we have in our 2012.Shows up in the sun lite!
