Phantom Wife & I are still planning to go to Dover with another couple from work.Will be pulling trailer for extras and probably parking on side streets where there will be more room and some SHADE which will come in handy I think! Sorry to hear that a lot of you won`t be able to go!I think it will be EXTREMELY crouded which neither of us really like but will try to make a nice day of it anyways! Will try to take lots of pictures and post later.Have new program to try and re-size pictures.

Have dry sounding clicking/clunking sound in rear end of my new 2012 Venture. Can hear it when slowing down at stop signs etc. and also when pushing around in lane-way . Took to dealer today to get opinion and he says it is the needle bearing in rear-end so have appointment for next Mon. to get fixed. Also passing lights blew fuse(have them on all the time ) and couldn't find fuse until dealer remembered it was behind fairing so it has to be torn apart to change. Will get them to move to outside so I can change it later. Rear-end will be covered under warranty but not sure about fuse. Asked about it from sales man and heard mechanic say it was just a fuse BUT it was him who wired fuse behind fairing instead of outside where it is assessable--so I think it should be covered but will see on Mon.(if not covered it is about a 2hr job)

Celebrating Canada Day with some VentureRider Friends

Just wondering if Evan was also in distress since he is holding flag upside down. So who's bike towed blondie home? We(Phantom Wife & I) went for ride with another couple to Bayfield and then on to Goderich for the day ride. Was about 300klm ride.Great day! So what happened?? -

Thanks dacheedah! Was wondering - what is done with the rubber piece on the inner fairing and also dealer says that the cruise control button in the middle will be in the way.Any Ideas? -
Thanks for all the suggestions! Got the time to do it late last-night so only got a couple replies and so tried the WD40 trick but was having problems(used a thing we use at work called a white stick used for pulling off stickers)It took quite a while but finally got sticker part off BUT it was a pain in-------- to get all the glue off -even using the Goo Gone! Seems I have a few minor scratches that I hope will come out. Tried using t-shirt, shop towel,and micro-fiber clothes but scratches still appeared.Hope they come out! Thanks for the help anyways! Should have waited maybe----o-well hind-site is 20/20.

colmike. You said the risers are easy to remove---do you mean it can be done without removing fairing? I found a set of alluminum risers (only 1" risers)off a Yamaha in bike yard ( not sure what model of bike they. Were off as owner was not there) and would like to try them to relieve my shoulder ache but wasn't sure what exactly was involved.Only thing I saw on site was doing it on RSTD which doesn't have a fairing.Any help would be appreciated!!! -
This has probably been discussed before BUT I cannot seem to find anything about how to remove labels off new gas tank(enviromental label yellow)
-
Phantom Wife & I (sleepy2)are more-than likely going also! Hope to see others there this time.

Friend asked me a question about the Guardian Bell. When you buy new bike and trade in old bike do you take your bell off and place it on new bike or do you buy new bell and trade with some-one?
