Remember registration forms are up so let's get registered for the Rally. Also don't forget to male reservations at the Lodge or campgrounds if you plan to attend,.

OK let's buy some trailer raffle tickets. Help your Rally committee out with finances and purchase a ticket or three. it's for a good cause and I have seen you all open your wallet many times before to help out so what do you say. Just 1 ticket is all you need to win and it you win and don't want it I am sure someone on the board will be more than happy to take it off your hands.

a Try covering it with another boot then wrap electrical tape around the mike till you have a whole the size of a dime. That is what I did with my wife's and it helped

I didn't see anywhere that it said it worked for CB Radios.

If you decide to not buy the venture based on the whine you will be making a mistake even though some hate the whine and it bothers them read what most had to say about buying another one when the time comes. To me that is the best testament about the bike. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=75842

Did you call Lewis "Simple":stickpoke:

Please try and register as soon as possible. Thank You very much.

Not something I plan to try any time soon.

OK Gary I want number to be 127 then set the app to pick an number between 126 and 128 Thank You.

The registration forms with cost and such will be posted in the next couple of days.

The rides we put together will go everyday this way everyone can go on each ride. We will have sign up Sunday night and we would like to keep each ride to 25 bikes or so. On Sunday night if we get say 47 bikes sign up to go to the Museum/JP cyles ride we would then tell the first 25 your ride leaves on Monday at 9:00 am and then the next 22 that there ride would leave on Tuesday at 9:00 am. Then the 22 that didn't get to go Monday would sign up for a different ride on Monday. Does this make sense?

Additional Info We are here to help you have a great time. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. We will also set up rides/plans for the River Cruise and Balloon rides if there is enough interest. Also the Lodge has 2 restaurants, Bar, Pool, Pool table/game room Sauna, Jacuzzi, Alpine slide, Miniature golf, Disc Golf, Horse Shoes, Volleyball and gift shop. I am working out the details so the campers can also enjoy all the facilities of the lodge. Thank You Your 2013 Rally Committee

Why would we out run you?

From what people tell me After riding the Venture you would be very unhappy with the Kawasaki.

Now that is a great idea

Our rides we have planned will get you in Iowa and Wisconsin

Just curious Why 21 and not 18

Just come to the rally and then you can vote........ You to 99 Silver

I would like to ask that if you are not planning to attend the rally could you refrain form voting please. This is for the committee to determine how many rides and the lengths we need.

I just helped solodad put a set on his rstd and what little bit he has been able to ride he likes them so far
