Ignore Charlie he doesn't ride a Venture anymore cause he can't afford it .......The speeding tickets were killing him... I have an 89 passing has never been a problem even with two 250 lb persons on the bike ..and if you drop a gear to be over 3000 RPM .....HANG ON Comfort no issue I once rode 15 hrs 1000 km in one day with only breaks every 2 or 3 hours:thumbsup2: Now keep in mind mine was 1st gen should you down grade to a second gen you still won't be disappointed.

Its a heck of a climb but I have always had the notion that once you pass the point of a survivable fall it really doesn't matter how much further you go as long as you have the strength and tenacity to keep going.

No amount of money can replace the smile on a kids face

Thanks for the warning Now when I go to home depot I carry only pocket change just in case.........Of course this requires multiple trips since I can only buy a :confused24:couple nails at a time this way:whistling:

By the way does it come with training wheels.

Is that how you got 15th.........Buzzing by all the legit fisherman dragging a cople mtreble hooks and snagging them off of the other lines. Just sayin

Looks impressive Charlie. But I don't see an attached porch complete with rocking chair to fish from.

Mine was getting so much water in it that I drilled a small hole in the lowest point of the box (as determined with the bike on the side stand) to let the water drain out.

4 corners.....since when did Garsion get big enough. to accommodate 4 corners.

I resealed that but it was still getting in . However I just recently noticed a hairline crack in the r/s corner of the lid so its time to get the plastifix out (it looks and functions just like plastex) I picked it up at the airport in Brantford. I am hoping it is the same but won't know until I try it. It looks and smells the same has the same applicators (actually slightly better). All in all I am pretty convinced it is the same stuff under a slightly altered name and I can get locally.

Now Carl shame on you.......At your age you should know better than to leave your stuff lying around were the young ones can get their little curious hands on it.

Glad to hear Hope is so successful in he chosen field. It is sad to hear however that she needs a hip replacement at such an early age. Hope all goes well for her and give her my blessings.

Nice to see you back Charlie. As for you new comers its probably a little confusing because it concerns an old issue that only a certain few are aware of and I believe Charlie has made his comment in such a fashion as to connect with those who are aware of the issue without involving/dragging other additional people into it. I myself do not know the exact details nor do I care to. I just remember there was a chain of events that went bad and emotions ran high. Hopefully we can all put whatever it was behind us and once again get back to the order of fun, motorcycles and FRIENDSHIP. Once again good to see you back Charlie

I got to figure out were the water is getting into mine and fix it before I attempt anything like that

This may well be true but like her mother she also listens well giving the other person a chance to talk as well She is a younger version of her mother not her father ----any more questions All In all she did a very fine job and both Mom and Pop should be proud

As a moderator or simply for personal reasons

Sorry you feel that way Carl. These days WTF or any of its equivalent are very important ingredients for just about everything from top notch advertising to top of the charts hit music. Without it we would still have to resort to old mundane tactics such as talent and imagination. Were would we be then? OH by the way I almost forgot. :witch_brew: :witch_brew: :witch_brew:

I am inclined to agree.I don't like that everything seems to have to be slid, floated or faded around. Simply just being able to click stuff off and on like before was just fine.It might be OK if it was used with a touch screen but I like positive touch and click type systems.

So when this Ural thing was 1st posted it tweaked my interest speacialy after watching some of the u-tube clips. After watching this I decided some how I gotta have one. Trouble is there is a small matter of money standing in the way. Hint my birthday is coming up

Thanks Mike I'll check it out, Hopefully it won't turn the grey matter between my ears into more mush than it already is.

Don't you mean previous life

I called Dell tech support at 2 am this morning and spend about 2 hours online and on the phone with them and I think I'm even more confused now than before. I tried to remember how to do some of the things that he showed me and just got stuck deeper in. He even put a website for Windows on my favorites tab, that was supposed to help me understand window 8 better but now I did something that won:t let me find that back. I lost it and can't figure out how to get back to the favorites tab.

Ok so as the title states I swallowed a big pill and bought a new Dell laptop. The laptop is great but I sure wish It came with windows XP. Instead it came with windows eight and is driving me crazy This new windows program seems to have a mind of its own. Seems to do what it wants to do not what I want it to do and it is full of mysteries. For example When I clicked on the picture file I expected it to just show me some of the so called example pics. But some how it had a set of pics loaded in from when I went flying in a stearman biplane a few years ago. How in the heck did it do that I certainly did not load them on. I have only had this thing for two days and none but me has even touched it I think I am being spyied on:backinmyday:

The JBM also does not use the nylon washers that the stock one uses. You basically have three choices. 1) My Personal preference. You cut/split the washers off then slip off the original diaphragm saving it but sacrificing the washers. Then carefully slip the JBM over the small metal lip onto the slider. Do not over stretch it. 2) Not my favourite choice but you can carefully remove the metal sleeve from the slider than replace it with either crazy glue or green Loctite. 3) Just run it with OEM diaphragm also not my favourite choice as I would prefer to have the diaphragms uniform because the JBM is a bit stiffer but works well.
