Hey now just hold up there one gal darn minute. I would never do something like that. At least not :whistling:until I build up enough to ship out that is

Thank You everyone. PS we went to canyon creek for dinner and when they found out it was our 40th anniversary, they served us 2 complimentary glasses of champagne on the house. How nice was that! And yes Carl, I admit I did say you would be allowed to have a word with the new pup. But then I realized once you started talking to him I may not get him back while he was still a pup.

40 years ago today Marita and I got married. Five kids, four grand children and forty years later we are still happily married and deeply in love. Also meet our newest family member Rio.

Keep in mind there is a right and wrong way to insert soft ear plugs. You roll them in your fingers to reduce dia. and then pull up and out on your ears while inserting them. Then wait while they re-expand. This way they go in pretty deep. For some of you be careful not to push too far .....Or they will drop into that hollow cavity between your ears. Nutti'n worse then have some foreign object rattli'n around in your head.

Great the next thing these two will want is for the rest of us to form a best bike judging committee. Time has not been set but it will most likely be 6:30 PM I will know better when I book it.

I like it too

Not sure how I feel about the bike as a long distance touring bike though I would love to take it for a ride. But I sure like this AD. Who ever put it together picked the perfect sound track for it.

Guess we will have to take a survey on whether or not you can come....

Once again on January 6th 2018 , 6:30 pm I would like to put together a Meet and Eat here in Burlington Ontario, making this the 7th annual meet and eat. As in previous years this is the weekend of the NORTH AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE SUPER SHOW, which is a three day event here in Toronto Ontario SUPERSHOW - North America's Largest Motorcycle Show . The place I have in mind will again be at TUCKERS MARKET PLACE in Burlington Ontario. Burlington | Tuckers Marketplace Restaurant . Which is about 25 minutes from the motorcycle show. PLEASE RSVP ON CALENDAR LINK BELOW ASAP SO I CAN MAKE PROPER ARRANGEMENTS. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=501&day=2018-1-6

Good to hear the updates Mike and glad to hear that you at least improving. As said before don't give up keep the therapy going religiously and you me be surprise yourself at your progress. Whatever you do keep your spirits up and don't let depression get hold of you, he is one nasty counter productive character.

Came across this Venture while taking a scenic route from Nova Scotia along the shore lines of Maine to Burlington Ontario. Does it belong to any body here.

Whens the meat and eat. Got my utensils all ready.

In other words not 1 but 2 U-turns. But you can stick to the circle turn theory ----some my even buy it.

JMHO But as far as a heat source goes I would go with a good iron specially if your new at this it is easier to control. A flame can quickly over heat and warp the parts unless you are very familiar with the torch you are using. In either case only slowly heat until the base metal melts the solder to a good flow and no more. Any discoloring caused by heating provided it is not too severe should polish out.

You rode with Carl --and yet----you say U-turn as though you did not expect it!!!

Glad you had a good ride. Would have joined but after only just getting home last night after 4 days of driving home from Nova Scotia Via a secenic route though the states I was beat.

Hey Evan just got back from Nova Scotia so I am a tad late wishing you a Happy 70th but Its not too late to wish you continued good health and congratulate you on making it to 70 and still look'n Good. Good thing you got a good look'n young wife that can keep up with you.

Pretty much my feelings as well.

I just found whenever I rode a gold wing the cyl heads did not leave any room for my feet.

sitll not enough leg and foot room for me.

I like the mid controls as well, my reasons are if a go off road. I like to have my feet under me where my knees can flex to absorb riding the rougher terrain and the standing. off road riding position. makes it easier to control the bike under these conditions (( like when the Garmin sends you down a cow path that was supposed to be a road )) or to be able to rise off the seat when you hit a rough spot on the road, When your butt gets warm and sweaty :scorched:and you just gotta get up off that seat for a few minutes, Oh and yes twisties but also I like forward foot pegs for the flexibility of having an alternate position to put my legs on long rides. I don't like them so far forward that you legs are stretched right out but more to the point where your knees are still slightly bent like sitting in an old fashioned barbers chair

You know the timing is just about right. Marita and I are heading for Nova Scotia on the 5th as well. They could drop by my daughters house in Brookside NS. Its off the main road between Halifax and Peggys cove. Im sure I can dig up a couple extra hammers and such so they can give a hand helping me with the repairs I been doing while out there.

:backinmyday:you may not but in future leave the showing of cleavage to the Ladies yours just dont cut it......Before you know @cowpuc be tryi'n to show his off too.

Were is the "maybe if I didn't already have a perfect Gen I mkII" check box? I keep looking but don't see it
