well last night i was in a mad rush to find that last gift. so i ran to the mall about a half hour before closing time. pouring down rain and chilly outside. at closeing time i headed out the door as they where locking down the mall. i started walking to my car which is parked in the handicap spot. when i see this poor teenage girl crying her eyes out. i asked her whats wrong? she told me that shes at least a half hour late getting home and she cant get into her moms car that shes driving? and shes soaked from head to toe. of course being a teenager shes not properly dressed for the weather. she said im going to be in big trouble and be grounded for at least a month this is my second time i will be late getting home this month. my cellphone is locked in the car so i cant call my mom and i dont have a father or no one to come help me. i said well lets see why you cant get in the car? she said i keep hitting the remote button to unlock the car but its not working? i didnt say a thing i gave her my coat told her put it on. then i gave her my cellphone and said call your mom. tell her what happend and a nice man is going to open your doors and you will be home in just a little while. it was the same type of car as mine a pontiac grandprix. and she was standing on the passenger side. i didnt want to make fun of her so while she was talking to her mom i took her keys went over to the drivers side as these type of cars have only one door lock on the drivers side. i placed the key in the lock and opened her door. started her car and said your good to go. she said hey my mom wants to talk to you and thank you. i took my cellphone and my coat and talked to her mom explained what i did and that just because the battery died in the remote dont mean you cant get into the car. so when your daughter gets home show her what i did. she just laughed and laughed and said she sure takes after her mom where both blonde. boy did that make my day

sad as it might be i might have to give the venture back to the loan company:bawling:. i was injured on a job last year after i got a loan to purchase the bike, been fighting the so called workers comp. well im still out of work. and was forced to retire from that job of over 15 years . there story was your no longer able to perform your duties. funny they dont want to settle? any ways i had to borrow against the bike once again. was doing ok as i was getting workcomp checks then they stopped due to there doctor saying things if anyone has fought workers comp you know where im comming from. im in a long fight with this as it destroyed my left knee. i had insurance to cover the loan if im out of work or dissabled. but due to the workers comp doc saying i can do light duty work. im screwed. my doctor says he cant work. till the knee is totaly healed. im stuck between a rock and a hard place now i owe $6000. on the bike total intrest and all. i love the bike but cant make the 200 a month payments yikes i know that high payments. also 300 for the car 300 for rent and ect ect im down to minus 150 a month with out makeing the bike payment. and noone will hire this old goat with all my restrictions. might not be the place to vent this but i like all of you and found a great friendship here

Working on a car today, and pullin the pipes of my 85
oldgoat replied to Chaharly's topic in Watering Hole
tried to talk my brother inlaw into letting me work some on the venture. its in his garage. he said what you going to do with it. i said just install some plugs. check the carbs. and do some cosmetic work install the false tank. i got and figure out how to remove and replace the gauges. he said its cold as hell out there. and go see why you cant do it. i went out there and went oh ****. the garage is stuffed to the max. my 2 bikes in there. and he went and bought a damn quad. along witht he ridding lawnmower. and a damn plow for the quad. aint no room to do ****.. i need to find a nice heated garage to rent someday. but it is nice of him to let me store my bikes i guess. but im retired and bored as hell. i know i dont have a lift to do the tires rotors and brakes but gee. i could have at least spent a few hours if not days doing the stuff i can get to. -
im fairly new here but my prayers to your family

they will have a meeting and determine that they can install heating elements like we have on our back windshields of our cars. cost to taxpayers about 1.5 million. cost to go back to old style lights about 200 grand. there will be ambulance chasers watching for that big possible law suit. when some poor sap gets t boned because the other driver thought he had the green light.

i would go with the slow one. i did a lawn and garden one with a 10 and boiled the sucker almost dry. im not a great mechanic so its just my:2cents:

he has 3 rare benz cars a couple that are awesome. a harley thats just a harley. now i got a rare 1984 venture royal only made that year. now who has the 85,86,87,88, and so on?.
-
i have to say about half the time i wear one. last year someone thought it would be cute to cut the strap by the d rings and take mine. and kick it around wal mart parking lot. could have been worse they could have pushed the bike over.
-
oh yes squid it says fly in an drive it. hmm maybe we can do a burnout in his living room like that one post i saw.
-
i saw that with the famous vmax motor. and went only made one year. i laughed so hard i spit tea on my monitor:big-grin-emoticon:

yammer looks like you got a good one this was my 4th try got married when i was young. have a wonderfull 29 year old daughter out of that. 2nd one just didnt work out due to military life. 3rd one went back to her ex. after cleaning me out as much as she could. then this one well you get the picture. as for the bike im going to lay out what i can reach and do after christmas. like put new false tank on then figure out how to remove the old gages like what do i have to take off? replace the old throtle grip with the replacement one i got. and change the plugs. once again figure out how to remove the side plastic to get to it. looks like the passenger foot board are in the way. and thats about it. till spring time. then the tires and brakes and rotors can get done at a good shop. i got nothing but time to get that bike running. and a backup bike so when things get a little frustrating just go for a ride and come back to it latter.

well im going to say im happy now.. i wish her well. and who ever gets her in the future. i too set my standards a little low. when it came to her. but due to my health. i have MS and ortho problems. i thought she was the one for me? younger. and would at least help me when my MS would flair up. and stuff. i have a great sister just 6 miles away. that does things for me when im down. now if i can just convince the bro inlaw to let me work on the venture in his garage. its parked there. but verry little room to work in there. hes a pack rat. but at last he too went down. with health problems. a stroke and heart and other issues. he doent want to do anything anymore. and we never realy got along. but hes ok.. so a lot of work to be done on the bike. maybe someday. i will find or rent the vfw parking lot. and see about setting up or finding a maintance day. food and beverage. and old goats gets worked on first LOL. kind of sad i got the tools good basic knowledge. but at last the old body. just wont let me bend and get down to where i need to work on the bike. could use a good lift to get the bike on and pull the tires off. do the rotors and brakes. thats the major problems. old rotors are groved bad. pulled up to a stop light and was almost into the intersection. then flash flash. warning light came on. rest is cosmetic work put on new gages. that i got. and figure out bogging problems? i put in half a can of seafoam and only went 40 miles on the bike. bet i folwedthe plugs. anyways thanks for the support.

the g/f and i are no longer together. we had a talk and decided that we should go our seperate ways. she said that i will never agree with her. on how to save money. and do stuff ? im 51 years old have a small pension. and live on social security due to health issues. i guess it all comes down to money with her. and nope i did not give her the yamaha maxim for a christmas gift. so i got me a great back up bike. gives me more time to fix up the 84 venture. now time to go out to grocery stores and stuff to look for a better woman

footsie i take no offense. and i will stand by what i did. that kid was maybe 17 at the most. old running car. and its in the teens outside. there is a big age diffearnce between the g/f and i. shes 40 im 51. she has her place as do i. well i think shes in the wrong. so after dinner she went home to her place. verry shallow of her in my opion. maybe time to trade in for a differnt one. this has been going on for a while. seems like every thing i have been doing is wrong? must be holiday blues? oh well pizza is good. she took hers. her and i need to do some serious talking. or when i move to az its just going to be:mytruck1: single wild and free again.
