    just a quick note.. i got home friday the 13th . been real tired. thats the medication. i want to say thank,s to all of you. Dianne took off for a long weekend with girlfriends. so im just relaxing. i have a nurse who stops in mon-friday. pre cooked food just pop in the micro. and im good to go. belly is still sore and will be for a few months to come. i have to watch out for seeds and stuff that i eat. sometimes if i move wrong it feels like a texas mule kicked me. so i sit with ice pack on the big belly. im going to see about selling the venture waiting on loan officers aproval dont worry im still staying here. im just looking at a replacement next spring. the first gens are great. but hard to get parts and i cant wrench no more . so im thinking of going down to a cruise bike. 650cc up to a 900cc . low and easy to operate. im sure something will pop up then? if the money comes in i will look for one in the winter. cheaper maybe? i know it wont be a venture but i will still be a venture member well pain meds are kicking in. so off to the recliner. i cant sit much in this computer chair. many many many thanks to you all sincerly oldgoat

    thanks monty good advice from everyone here. will do that tomorrow as shes fully inflated now and in dianne.s garage that girl has a tight leash on just how much she will let me do. shes a great friend but with her my daughter and my older sister i cant do nothing fun. limits my rides to around 100 miles a day then locks up my toys. and goes back to her place.

    drebb over 4 to 5 days she drops. never goes complete flat just drops down low? i use to have a truck tire do that and it was a lose iner valve stem but i checked this one with the old spit test and nothing. yep im puzzled over it???

    thanks painterman. i just hate to have the bike down again for a tire repair but maybe a breakdown and a remount might do it? now to figure out who lowerd my rear shocks??? 22lbs is ok for a low weight person but not a 240 to 250 pounder LOL
  7. oldgoat
    ok im haveing a rear tire problem. dunlop tire 404 i think? its hot out in the garage so not going to check right now. what i want to ask is there some kind of stop leak you can put in these tires? it has less then 1000 miles on it since purchased last fall. and for the life of me i cant find one single nail screw nothing in it. i checked the vavle stem ect ect. but after 4 days she goes down. never below 25lbs psi. well today i took off for a ride and my center stand hit bottom ? i heard it touch the ground? i pulled into a service station low rear tire and rear air showed 22 lbs on the class ok low tire low shocks and 250 pound guy might do that. but im trying to find something to stop this slow tire leak maybe slime? something. anyone have a good product

    any one have this happen? went out for a short ride as im still healing. was ridding down main street in a little town after a 40 mile ride. Dianne was with me i hit the throtle and poof bike stoped? ok coast over to the wendys parking lot. shut key off turned it back on tank showed one bar? while on side stand. i took it off the side stand it showed 2 bars on the fuel gage. would not start? ok i carry a one gallon gas can in top trunk. gas staion right next to wendys thank god as its hot out today. i got one gallon of gas and the bars didnt move on the fuel gage? hit the starter and vroom it fired right up. went over and filled the tank. bars are at the top. took 4.5 gallons total to fill it thats with the one gallon gas can i allready put in. the petcock is stuck so i dont dare try and move it. from the looks of the petcock it looks like its on RES?. never had this happen before and allways got around 40mpg. when the bike ran good. looks like im now pulling 34 mpg?

    ok im looking for a thread or advice on how to remove the fairing left and right side to repair some cracks. or a how to thread? looks like im going to have to do a small drill hole to stop a crack from spreading. and not sure on how to do that?
  12. oldgoat
    well i thought it would be about 2 weeks. but doc said go ahead and give it a try . told me i still have some muscle pulled some where in my lower left leg? i have some pain in that area no blood clot though. so i walked the entire leanth of the gym 2 times there is pain in the leg but not too bad. and my headaches are doing great now with the medication im on. so i looked at the doc and said can i give my scoot a ride today he said well since ya asked so nice. go ahead and see how ya do. well i didnt set a road trip record. but got the venture out of the garage warmed it up and off Dianne and i went. we did 60 miles round trip. so not so bad. brakes and exhaust all working well. carbs are a litttle off now after all the exhaust work? slight hesitation when I cracked the throtle. idles ok ? time for some more seafoam and run the pi$$ out of her. she sure needs some cosmetic work. looks like at some time a bike got tipped on the drivers side. at the shop where it was being worked on? i found some cracks that wherent there before and some green paint on the drivers fairing. also the lowers on that side is lose? wasent before? but since all the trouble i had just to get it out of that shop. i wasent going to call him and start a fight. fells great to ride again but got hot as heck at noon it hit 109 heat index dianne said oldgoat time to take you back to the barn. oh and her vstar for some reason gave me a run for my money in third gear? maybe just my nerves after a long wait to ride. now i have to figure out the slow wobble. between 30 and 45 mph and then again at 55 to 60. new tires only 300 miles on them maybe not worn in yet? well that the news from oldgoat today

    saw the quack i mean doc today. blood preasure is still a little high but not bad. headaches are only comming about once a week now and only if the weather changes. i swear i can predict when its going to rain. lost only 6 pounds more since getting out of the hospitial. but if ya cant walk to good you cant exersize right? went with Dianne and she got her new to her yamaha Vstar. trying to get her to post pics of it on here? if im correct its a 2005 with just over 13k on it. was lady owned? the lady that had it said shes more into 2 up with her new husband? Dianne got it for a song i think? $5300. is what she gave for it. it will need tires still has the ones that came with the bike when new. I tould her to replace them just to be safe. i did take it for a little spin .it moves darn good. she said its nothing like the ninja was. but she realy enjoys it. and for a 5 ft 5 woman? she can handle it just fine. and i like the fact that when she lets me take it for a spin. i can plant both feet on the ground with plenty of room to spare. so in 2 weeks good lord willing i can ride the venture along with her again.

    just want to say bike is finaly home. but due to my helath right now and cleaning up after my aunt and getting her settled in the home. i cant ride it:crying: Dianne has the keys. we treated it with seafoam damn that stuff it getting expensive almost 9 bucks a can. but worth it. the exhaust has been fixed thanks to you members and your donations. all the brakes are done. Dianne said i can go and clean it LOL. looks like end of month she,s getting a 2005 v star ? 650? i hope i got that right? mechanic said the bike runs darn good. but next spring might want to consider carb work?? not sure what he meant by that? got a friend whos son is takeing auto body. he,s checking to see if this winter he can take all my plastic in for a paint job. i just pay cost of paint and school shop cost. looks like some things are comming around for me? so latter im going to be asking how to pull the fairings and stuff LOL once again thanks to all of you im keeping the dream alive.
