A women called into the radio to ask how to get rid of a skunk that decided to make a home under her front porch. The radio person told her to lead a trail of bread crumbs from the hole in her porch to the bush behind her house and seal the hole once the porch had been vacated by the skunk. Seemed easy enough so the next day she laid down a trail of bread crumbs. Then she called the radio station and asked "how do I get 2 skunks out from under my porch?"

I had a plane that would do pretty much anything. And once in a while it would actually do what I wanted. I did one or two of those moves myself! 1-take off 2- land

Subject: Fw: Income tax Returned Mail Can you believe it? They sent my income tax return form back to me! In response to question # 4, "Do you have any dependants?" I replied: 2.1 million illegal immigrants 1.1 million crack heads 4.4 million unemployable people 901 thousand people in over 85 prisons and 650 idiots in Parliament Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer. Who the hell did I miss?

I really enjoy reading of your rides. You have a nice flair for writing. My account would read more like..... I rode across the desert. It was hot and dry...the sun was setting....it was a reddish glow'.....very pretty. I went to bed and got up next day. then I rode some more end of story. Your writing style makes it MUCH more interesting!

Totally off topic...but I saw a report about concern the London Olympics advertising was going to cause seizures to some folks. It was brightly flashing geometic shapes. Back to topic now

Tire rotation is backwards

I've used the Dunlop 404 on all 3 ventures I have had. Mind you...nothing else to compare them to as that is ALL I have used. -
When we are out and about in the country in our Ministry we see all types of homes that are protected with a camera powered by a small (4" x 4") solar panel. One time I was at a call where nobody was at home.. I was in my truck that had my company name and phone number on the back window and befoe I even got home there was a message on my machine questioning why I was there! It must have had some type of alerting system as well as the camera to capture the image of the truck.

A new Venture adventure!
Trader replied to deanmay's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
Skydoc, a member on this site, sells the fuse upgrade ....a probably anything else you might need! He comes highly recommended...not only for his service and price...but also the fact that he doesn't seem to mind phone calls from technically challenged wrench wanna-bes!!!!! I've got a lot of bits and pieces from Earl...both new and used and been very happy with all. And like I said....he (and many others on this site) are more than willing to help us get thru those challanging situations ...you know .... like how to pick up a big bike like ours when it's fallen over Don't ask how I know! -
Why not save us a lot of time and just give it to Condor now?

It would be a lot better to let 500 people win a million each. Think about it....that would be perhaps 1000 new cars, 500 new houses 500 vacations etc etc. If one person wins that much....you MIGHT buy 3-4 houses and maybe even 50 cars to collect....but it would stimulate the economy a lot better if they spread the wealth.

1988 Venture Royale
Trader replied to edtheguy's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
'fraid the only help I can be is the numbering of the cyl. When sitting on bike... Rear left #1 Front left #2 Rear Right #3 Front Right #4 -
I think you would need a large capacity fuel tank to replace the V4....or else it would be a wheelie machine for sure! A buddy built a VW trike in the 70's....had a hard time keeping the front wheel on the ground.

pumpkin- rear wheel hub That's all I got...but somebody can chime in with the slang used for tires and just exactly what HID is (Hi Intensity & Desirable?)

Best pieces of advice I got when learning to ride was : Look where you want to go. If you look where you don't want to go, the bike will go there! try not to use the front brake as you come to full stop. Early in the braking..of course! But not once you get down to a crawl. Make sure the front wheel is straight when you come to a stop. # 2 & #3 helped me to keep the beast upright. It seemed if I ignored those two pieces of advice, the bike always wanted to fall over at a stop! Enjoy the site! Lots of technical advice...and lots of "entertainment" also. Where else can you get over 600 comments and 30,000 views on the excitement of building a garage!

Years ago (I'm talking almost 40 years ago) I was just starting out. But then I ended up on strike and lost everything I had. I had to sell my bike, lost my apartment and had to move back home with Mum & Dad. Trouble is....I didn't want to live there. So I ended up in the City (Toronto) where they had closed of of the the main downtown streets and made it into a pedestrian mall. They Called it the Younge St. mall I was "too proud" to panhandle, but I figured I could put on a show so I would do advanced gymnastics on the street while my friends asked for donations for "medical expenses". They would say "he doesn't need them now but if he keeps doing this he probably will!" I made enough money for me and a few friends to eat everyday. But that's all I would do...once we had enough to eat I would stop. One of my favourite stories about that time is about a very drunk person was very concerned about me. He said "You gotta stop that! You're going to kill yourself! " Like I said...I was doing full back flips, layouts etc. on the pavement of the road. The drunk said... "How much money do you need to stop?" So I told him what we needed to feed ourselves for the rest of the day (About $10 bucks would buy 5 subs back then!) He said...."OK....you gotta stop or you're going to split your head open! Here's the money.....but first..... could you do one more of those..." (gesturing circles with his pointed finger!) I did, we ate...and slept on the grass in a local park. I refer to that summer as my "hippie" summer....and is among the best times of my life.

A friend of mine just got a brand new 2013 Lincoln MK something or another. I was surprised it was 2013 model already. It only had 187 Km on it....fully loaded with every possible toy I think. She let me drive it around all morning while we were out in our ministry and we were going down cottage roads as well as open roads. It really is a nice car! One of the things I really liked was the back up camera. Even better was her attitude...."it's nice...but its still just a car" She is a very spiritual person, and even though she is quite well off, material things don't really matter to her that much.

This thread is 5 years old and the OP has expired membership....probably not around anymore. He hasn't been on the site since 2009

The link doesn't work! BUT....I seem to remember a whole series of this type of "music machine" with bouncing balls flying all over the place...including bouncing off piano type wires that looked totally amazing...but it was all computer graphics. Have you actually seen this in person? Did you check to see if it is authentic? Just curious if perhaps it is the same as I saw....but the link doesn't work.

There was an front page article in the Toronto Sun a few years back about a woman dressed in rags who was a "regular" panhandling downtown Toronto who at the end of the day, would get in her Mercedees and drive to her expensive home in suberbia. Turned out her husband was a professional (Doctor or such) It's unfortunate, because there is only so much charity funds out there and these scum wrongfully accept money that other folks really do need

if a rain gutter blows off a house and breaks your window would file a claim agianst the house owner or the contractor? Seems pretty obvious that it should be the truck company's insurance!!! But of course they will try to avoid anything they can.

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States , wandering aimlessly and starving. They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says......... "Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk." "Is, Luis, eet sure smell like bacon. " With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand dune, & there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon. There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon ... Every imaginable kind of cured pork. "Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved! Ees a bacon tree!" "Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don't forget." "Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon...ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree!" And with that, Luis staggers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock. Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath.... "Pepe... Go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!" "Luis, Luis mi amigo... what ees it? " "Pepe.. ees not a bacon tree. Ees.... Ees..... Ees.... Ees.... Ees... Ees.... Ees..... a ham bush!" :rotfl::rotfl: SO SORRY!!!!! I know there is something wrong with me for posting this. Just couldn't help it!
