Thoughts and prayers for the family and friends.

I am good with 84, maybe the squirell will come after you

I don't understand. Why did he not go? :think:

Looks like it must have offended someone Youtube pulled it.

Prayers go out to the family.

Glad it was just a close call and you two are ok. The hunters run them with dogs around here and usally straight into the road followed by the dogs.

Stephen, hope have been able to find a solution. Can you just switch out the boom or the mic element? I did notice your location and although it is a year off I thought I would let you know we have a ride every other year at Vogel State Park just north of you every other year and the next one will be 11-15 August 2021 if you might be interested. Here is the link to the current discussion about it https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?146872-Vogel-2021

Here is a thread from last time, it may give you an idea of what goes on. https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?142474-Vogel-IX-another-good-one&highlight=vogel

We did that a few years ago and still had a blast, it would be great seeing you again.

I'll bring biscuits.

If they let me ride my Goldwing they will let anyone in

Come on, it would be great to have y'all. We plan on camping, the neighbors can get a little loud at times but they are good folks. @Woody what spot number are we staying in?

In our thoughts and prayers.

I tried it but could not get the right combination, however I did not spend that much time on it.

I don't think it will work because you have no preamp voltage for the 7 pin mic form a 5 pin setup.

Mount Mitchell Mile Marker 355 and NC 128 is always a good ride, it is hard to find a bad road off the parkway. NC 151 on the other side of Asheville is a favorite also. Make sure you check the Parkway website for closures before you go https://www.nps.gov/blri/planyourvisit/roadclosures.htm

Any Part of the Parkway is good, however I am partial to the southern end, plenty of palces to stay just outside of Asheville, we usually stay at the at Asheville East KOA.

Sweet

Since you replaced the stator check the pickup coil connections.

Starter turned over but weak spark and no clicking from fuel pump, everything else worked. The electrical diagram can be found under the tech library section if you do not already have it, https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?42357-2nd-Gen-Wiring-Schematics-99-09-RSV . I think the pickup coil will cause the same issue, I vaguely remember that being mentioned in the past for no spark. Either a bad connection or bad coil.

Have you tested the ignition switch? It really sounds like what mine did when it went bad, what is your voltage in and out of the switch?

I had one Venture that if you did that you could scare the crap out of someone next to you, worked well with people texting. We were talking at Asheville how many times each of us have had run ins with the kill switch.

You young folks stay up way too late for me, this old man is usually in bed by the time anyone else comes online.

At least everyone made it home safe.
