My other bike is an 04 Honda VTX1300. It has served well as a touring bike for over 70000 miles. It is now my daily solo ride. I don't see myself ever selling it http://venturerider.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=517&pictureid=5238

The best I've done is about 42 mpg. But I just love getting on the throttle. The more I ride this bike, the more I love it.

Heading to Helen for BBQ at N. Ga. BBQ on Saturday. Anybody hungry?

Wood working. Everything from general carpentry to turning wine stoppers. I've built bedroom suits, cabinets, shelving, end tables. coffee tables, file cabinets, armiours, jewlery trees, serving trays, turned bowls, additions on the house along with decks, etc. Used to play golf, but if it's nice enough to play golf, I'd rather ride. Used to play in a band but that took too much time from the family. Used to dabble in photography but found the cost prohibitive. Got a new digital SLR for Christmas so trying to find my skills again. Travel. But we do most of that on the bike so we're right back to my main (besides Shirley) passion.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Anything Shirley cooks from scratch. She loves to cook and is really good at it so picking a single favorite leftover is tough, but I'll go with her beef stew. It's actually better the second day. Thats the way I thought of meatloaf till I had Shirleys.

If you could trade your Venture for a Goldwing
Motorcycle Mike replied to zooer's topic in Watering Hole
I could have bought anything I wanted when I bought the RSV, so I did. No wing envy here. -
Do you run your passing lights all the time
Motorcycle Mike replied to heatonmt's topic in Watering Hole
Always, along with the headlight modulator. -
I have one. I HATE it. I quit wearing it. Shirley has one and loves it. Helmets are very personal. You can't go by what someone else likes.

How do you guys store stuff on an RSV?
Motorcycle Mike replied to elmicko's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Storage is no problem. http://venturerider.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=517&pictureid=4475 Velcro holds the garage door opener on top the brake resevor. The sun glasses stay on or I put them in the trunk.- 22 replies

Prayers and sympathy to Nathan and the whole family. May the Lord give you strength through these very troubling times.

I hope I have wisdom enough to know when it's time to hang it up. A sad day for you I'm sure.

Motorcycle Mike replied to Motorcycle Mike's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Walking away and posting did the trick. Went back while waiting on a reply and she went right on. Dont know why it wouldnt go before I posted. Thanks guys. -
Is there a trick to get the hub splines to line up with the wheel? I cant get it to slide on.
-
Thanks for the pics. We're headed that way tomorrow morning.

Thanks bongobobny. I know where to get one but the wife will get it today while I'm at work. I just needed to know what to tell her to tell them.

Thanks mlew!

Lost the pinch bolt on the rear axel. Can someone tell me the size?

I run 25psi in the 12" tires on my Aluma trailer. Pulls great, doesn't bounce and they look new after 30,000 miles.

Winters knocking..what are your plans for the bike this winter?
Motorcycle Mike replied to 1BigDog's topic in Watering Hole
:rotfl:Your kidding right?:rotfl: Living in Jacksonvill Florida I'm suprised you can even spell winter. I may put some highway pegs up front and some lights on the rear. Other than that, I'm riding. -
I did one a few years ago but I dont remember the name of the research company. Filled out a survey that took about 30 minuts then an interview for another 30 minuts. I left with a crisp, 100 dollar bill. I wish they would call me again.

Very handy item. I bet I've worn out a dozen of them over the years.

Were is the best to buy a new tire?
Motorcycle Mike replied to waterbug's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
This dosent help anyone out side the metro Atlanta area. But if your in the area you really cant beat Two Brothers Tires. http://www.twobrotherstires.com/ Well, I see they are now selling online also. -
The worst part is the prep the night before. You will need to make sure you ride with your mouth closed from now on tho, or youll wistle out your a$$.
