Well I had the chance to say goodbye to my girl one last time before they take her tomorrow. She was sitting on her sidestand, and I had dad hold her up so I could shake the bike back and fourth one last time to try and figure out what went wrong. I noticed the back tire was extreemly squishy like it had only 15 or so PSI in it. Could I have possibly picked up a leak on the ride and hitting an uneven patch of road at high speed (70)mph had cause my accident? I stupidly didnt check the tire pressure before I left, but I also hit 110mph on it that day and didnt have any trouble. Everything else seemed tight which makes me a little more confident in my mechanic skills again. I think from now on I'm going to run bike tires specifically for the fact that the sidewalls on bike tires will just generally hold up alot better if the tire goes flat. A day before my accident my dad, while in texas going down the interstate at 70 with no helmet had his tire go almost completely flat while puling a trailer.. He said he didnt even notice, the only thing he noticed was the smell. I would really hate to say anything against Darksiding though, because I did only get one ride in. I probably wont go darkside again... I guess i'll just have to change my back tire every 6K miles..... Unrelated note, although the bike was stuck in 5th (because the footpeg and the shifter became one piece) I pulled in the clutch, kicked the kickstand up and to my surprise she turned over. I tried pulling the choke, but thats when I realized the choke levers had popped off and It seemed froze up. I think it is still in riding shape honestly, so maybe the insurance will make a little money back on it, which I hope they do. Dairyland has treated me very well on this and they are extremely polite, kind people to work with. Just needed to vent for a little while tonight! I'm sure gonna miss my good friend of 2 years....

Thats so cool that you take him on the bike with you! I have to say that a whole new chapter of my life opened up once I found out how fantastic birds can be. They really do know that they're in charge though dont they! Ernicio loves going for rides in the pickup too, He just gets a kick out of the whole situation! When my pets are all gone, I'm going to invest in a single, larger bird for myself. Something that'll be like bringing around my 5 year old child with me! What kind of bird is he?

Oh yeah zelda is one of the greatest franchises out there! Yeah, i'm a solo campaign guy as well. I pretty much quit playing online, thats why I dont like destiny. Its always online

Talking about racing games. I fell in LOVE with Forza 5 on the xbox one. Its crazy because the graphics are nearly lifelike and the gas and brake triggers vibrate. You dont realize how much of a game changer that can be when you shut all the assists off. That is probably my favorite xbox one game so far besides Halo MCC edition. I'm a huge halo freak, not because of the online but because of the story. And PBJman, take your time before you move into the next gen, both systems have alot of frusterating issues to work out, but if i can make a suggestion, if you do finally get an xbox one, DEFINITELY get it with the connect, WOWZA what a cool thing!

I might have to work out a vacation day so I can come up and say hey!

Hey PBJman you can add me on xbox live if you like. I got dishonored for free and thought it was pretty fun! You can add me at CJ AKA CHIEF I've got a 360 and an xbox one so let me know!

Congratulations!!! Nothing beats little children thats for sure!

I like that light attatchment. That's pretty creative!

The only thing about the 2013 ( i know your not a serious buyer) is how long those little 3.5L ecoboosts hold up. They are a really new design and until tere are millions of them out there you may not know how dependable it is.

Hahahaha!!!!! That was pretty funny I'll give you that!!!

A friend of mine shared this on facebook today. I think its neater than heck, as long as its priced right! https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2015/02/05/motorcyclists-secret-weapon-new-leatherman-tread/

I've got my eye out for an older, low mileage venture. The way I look at it, mechanically the age shouldnt (i hope) effect the engine parts. I think most engine wear is done by miles. That being said though, things like ignition coils and other sensitive electronic dudads would be more effected by age. I guess the valve springs could be effected by age though too. My biggest concern with getting an older Venture would be having an old ignition coil suddenly go out because of how fine the copper is. I havent owned a vehicle less than ten years old though, so my opinion isnt the most educated just blabbing to blab

rub the belly of a fish, that being said a large pontoon full of beautiful women crept by staring at amphitweeks trying to make heads or tails of...

The first amphibious venture. Soon he'll be riding an 83 yamaha venphibious machine

Haha seems like a perfect tip! They gave me loritab and I gotta tell you they do mix with beer! About as well as coca cola and mentos! Talk about stomach fizz!

You're right I did get a kick out of that. ALAN! ALAN! ALAN! ALAN!

Well shucks I've been doing that physical therapy for YEARS!!! Luckily enough its my left hand!!! I do like their heated saw dust machine though! So you didn't even have to take the deer to the butcher. Looks like you came out with plenty of deer burgers and deer jerky

complicated ruse to get the greatest reward of all...

I just wanted to say thanks again for taking a look at it Red! I gotta tell you guys this man is a class act! Not only did he take a look at it for me, but we also had an excellent conversation t'boot! Not only did we have a chat about the 85 but we went on for over an hour talking about everything from Iron Butt rides to giant stone globes out in the middle of North Dakota to careers no less. I gotta tell yah that Red is a SERIOUS rider! Like i was saying on the phone guys like him and Puc are total inspirations for me to just get out and ride and that the coolest things youll find are almost ALWAYS off the beaten path. You guys ALL just keep up the great work and KEEP THAT SHINY SIDE UP!!! I just wanted to say thanks again for looking Red and thanks for the new friend!!!
