buddy

We stopped riding 5-6yrs ago. Haven't been on here enough lately. Funny thing is we hear from our family here than my own family when the weather is bad in our area checking up on us. Long story short even though you stop riding your still family. Tell Ron hi for me. Miss you both Buddy & Peggy

Looking good puc... These be perfect for my old knees.

Sorry but not for me ! Can't see spending over 26,000.00 for a Cross country knock off .. yes their discounted yet I can get a showroom victory cross country for 16,900

That's what we lack this yr ! Been a warm winter here! it's been green grass pretty much all winter .kinda scary for our part of area . But the horses sure do love !

Thanks Dan I agree with you kinda $$ GL1500 around here are selling for 2800.00-3400.00 Kinda eyeing a GL1800 right now their asking 4500.00 but we will see

Photo not me or Peg it belongs to a member on GoldWing forum . I have pulled a 6x10 utility trailer with my 90 GL1500 to my Buddy house 5 mi away ! That was a eye opener lol he needed the trailer and I was going on a group ride so two stones in one trip if I can find the photo I'll post it lol

Sorry to hear this. please keep owl and family in our prays ! Thank you for letting us know

Having the power to tow your friends Ultra Classic home .. needless to say couple of our HD friends dint like the photo lol. Don't get me wrong I like HD but I love it more picking on my buddies !

Maybe looking for one with training wheels lol

Yep Peg misses more than me lol ! Four more yrs I can retire from the city and Peg stated we may move to AR as she loves the area ! And be closer to our friends . For us to enjoy good riding we have to go 300 mi from our home ,our area not great for scenic riding and the roads not that great either. before I buy a bike I'll have to down size our vech's as we have too many lol three 4x4 trucks and two cars and it's just me and Peg also may be getting my moms car too that I bought fews yrs back she in her 80's . All goes well we may be riding again soon ? Peg had it her way we still have the blue GoldWing .

Well it looks like I might be back to riding ? Peg been missing it more than me ! So after three or so years It looks like we might be riding this yr if I find a good deal on a Goldwing 1800 since I can handle it better than a venture - top heavy . figure buy a high mileage Wing for a better price and with my knees I might get few more yrs so there no since in buying a newer Wing with a loan payment. We will be trailering it to our out of state rides as well. the 600-700 mile day trips are long gone for me and Peg . Peg loves riding in AR area around Eureka Springs and Paris area as well hint hint to Colesgrandpa . So if all goes well you guys will be seeing Buddy & Peg aka Snowflake again might even bring back the Eureka Springs meet next yr?.

Eck that happened to me before I could not back up my bike so I used the little button on right handle bar you know the one its for reverse mode it kicked the relay couple times due the steep road but it worked good for me

First and for most? Why cylinder heads rebuilt Also mileage ? Only time I seen head work was round 300,000 mi sounds far out but true some of my friends had high miles Also ask bout stator ? Ever been replaced as motor has to be removed to service while engine is running listen to the stator it should be low tone if any rattling noise stator needs service bike this old will have issues check for rust-wiring-lines-cluster-brakes etc etc

Due to issues Peg & I will not be going to the rally so I cancelled my reservation today at 8:40am June 23 at Comfort Suites ph: 636-949-0694 so if anyone wants to move over to Comfort suites first come first serve ask for Kelly as she did my cancelation my last name is Armstrong. they have no rooms left! but one that I canceled[/b]

the 1500 mtr by far is the best motor in my opinion for preventive maintenance ! 1200 mtr comes out to replace the stator , 1500 doesn't it has alternator 1800 doesn't either for the alternator But it does for the water pump! Pain and stupid design Now the 1500 comes out if your clutch plates are bad but I never did on any of mine ! My old 90 wing had over 160,000 when I sold it i owned 88-90-93 1500 models only difference is 88-89 had way more vacuum lines and 90 models had up graded to less vacuum hoses and 93 models up graded the cams and so on and so on over the years

I'm thinking of buying one later on once I get to feeling better and since Peg can no longer ride it will be for me as for riding to work

Letting everyone know it's Wildhair39 Birthday gonna send him a email ! Know it's kinda late but it's better than never Happy Birthday Lowell.

Born & Live here in Okla. And I seen weird stuff Like how a tornado will take a home apart yet leaves flower pots on the porch untouched or wipe out a whole block of homes and there's one home dead center of the track in perfect condition no matter what home you have brick - wood - mfg home their no match for a tornado I lived through several tornados and I tell you for a fact that they sounded like a hundred jet engines at full power so loud my ears ringed for a week or so!

Happy Birthday Ray !! wishing you the best and good weather for riding ! will see you both soon Buddy P.S. Peg said H.B. and behave yourself

Don I for one know better! We been friends/family since the beginning of venturerider and I have never seen nor heard you treat anyone bad or turn your back ! There's times you had to put your foot down but that's on us due to some of us getting out line ! even then you was not out of line as of what was said or done !! so get that thought out of your head Buddy

Well after several calls from members asking where I've been lately ? Peg said I needed to post so here it goes ? Most everyone knows I had my left knee scoped back in March well I have to say it never really got any better the doctor released me for full duty back in May even when I told him I was not 100% he released me anyway he said it will get better well it's gotten worse and my boss been trying to get my knee looked at again for over a month but we're getting the run around with the doctor so Monday my boss sending me to another doctor. it has gotten to a point I had to use a cane for a couple weeks the pain was so bad I couldn't put much weight on it due to the pain shooting up to my hip and down to my foot times making me sick to my stomach! My knee has gotten so bad I haven't ridden midnight much since Eureka Springs meet and I could not drive my Solstice because I could not get in or out so I did something I hated doing but I bit the bullet and sold my midnight and solstice in turn bought me a 2007 silverado super-crew cab so I will no longer be riding any motorcycles! So this coming Monday I will see what this other doctor has to say about my knee ? As I write this my left knee is swollen up along with the calf area and the pain is shooting up and down my leg I still have our reservations for the 2015 Rally as of now gonna play it by ear ? I won't be hosting the Eureka Spring meet for 2015 Buddy

Well I been turning wrenches for 30+yrs and never heard this course back in the days we had no cellphones either last night I was talking to Snarleybill about some issues about the international rally info missing and come to find out it was my Iphone had issues as it would not load up some items on the forum dug out my old laptop that only works part of the time and found the info was there all along so I knew my iphone was acting up ? So I took my phone in this morning to replace it or be checked over and the lady looked my phone over then asked if I ever turn the phone off and I said no as its my main phone plus its my 24/7 on call so she removed the battery for a few mins and installed battery and it started working good she also asked if I have a ford car or truck and I said yes why ?? she stated then when car or truck is off while charging the phone it will try to link with the pcm and this causes issues with the phone and cars pcm OK I said thinking she was nuts ! so I called Tim a old friend from the ford house and asked about this and he started laughing and said its true !!! Really wow dint know this and he went into telling me when this happens at times it will lock the pcm up on the car or truck not allow it to start because the two were trying to talk to each other even jumping it off will not work he stated that when this happens you must remove battery cables from the car battery and touch the cable ends together for a few seconds and this will reboot the pcm in the car or truck. hook the cables back up to the battery and start your car he said he done several of these and is now asking cust first hand if their charging their Iphones in the cars. I would have never thought of this and being a mechanic for so long makes me feel old now

Push it home ? Really ? Bill next time just clip it to your belt and walk home Keep us up to date on your new toy

Yes it's in Texas as of now.. What about the medical field ? Reason I ask this is Duncan & Lawton Okla. hospitals don't have thier own doctors these doctors are brought in from other hospitals $$ such as OKC & Dallas kinda scary
