  1. I going to get a new rear tire for my 92 Venture for the up coming season its looking like I will be putting some miles on this year, and not just the short rides around the area so I am wondering about good tire choices, I have had good luck with Dunlops. I am looking at the extra weight with it all packed up and pulling a trailer. Iam sure that this is like asking what oil is best. Just wondering what tires have seem to of held up the best. Thanks Orlin
  2. The stew turned out great is what Sharon said, Had enough to freeze up a couple of batches and some for today. Thinking I just may have to cook some up for Mat, Day Orlin
  3. Started the morning with one of my horses standing out in the yard at 4:30 this morning so get dressed and put her in with the others,and its below zero outside so I am wide awake now so much for sleeping in. Then no cold water got that going and the drain pluged up got the plunger give it a couple of good plunges the pipe came apart coffee grounds and water all over the floor, had to talk with Sharon about the coffee grounds, Then I got to chat with a couple of good friends and now I have a big pot of Venison stew cooking away on the wood stove and does it ever smell good. Starting to feel like the start of a good year. Happy New Year Orlin
  4. I had something funny to say but its gone now:confused24:
  5. I got a set of the pegs they like to slip no matter how much you tighten them, I ended up taking them off, but they do look nice. Orlin
  6. 2 years thats great, enjoy the new you and the many more years of riding. Orlin
  7. Luke, I run across this one a 1989 Venture Blue color maybe worth checking on. www.cyclesalvage.com Good luck in your search, I have 2 1984s a 87 and 92 and rebuilt and sold a couple once you get the bugs worked out they are great bikes. Orlin
  8. Had the same problem gave it a good cleaning and all fixed, gave the tape deck a good cleaning and its working to. Orlin
  9. It is easy to take the water pump off just a few bolts put them back in the same holes they come out you will have a couple of diffrent lenght bolts. Orlin
  10. I agree dont use starting fluid, use cab cleaner, maybe you have it flooded and the plugs are soaked with fule, I would take them out and check them and see if you are getting fire to the plugs. If you are then give it a try with carb cleaner if it starts then you got a fule problem. Orlin
  11. I will be going threw the 92 greaseing everythinig that needs to be greased and fixing acouple of little things and replaceing the rear tire and a new windsheild. I dont have much to do to the 87 other than repair a couple of small cracks after replacing the engine this fall I dont have much to do to that one. Then I will go threw the 2 84s and get them ready to sell in the spring, It will be sad to see the Black 84 go Sharon and I have put some fun miles on it and it got us back into riding again. Orlin
  12. Looks good enjoy the ride.
  13. I have 2 friends that have Shadows they ride alot and never seem to have a problem with them. I have rode them and they are easy to get on and off and to get up off of the kickstand and seemed to handle good. If you like it get it and enjoy. Orlin
  14. I guess that it is called a fender badge also, I would like to get one. Anyone have one for sale or know of a place that still sells them. Orlin
  15. Do those Rum Balls burn or make a big boom.
  16. Good looking bike, Got one just like it. Maybe I had better go look to see if its still in the shed. Orlin
  17. Will we need a cake
  18. Orlin's Maintenance Day. It will be good to see ya. Orlin
  19. I have been asked if I was going to host another Mat, Day and I said that I would and after talking to Sharon we decided we would make this a annual event and put a name to it, I didnt want to use Wisconsin Mat, Day because it has been used by others and that way it still can be. The date will be June 29th 2013 at our place near Viroqua Wisconsin. Orlin
  20. Very nice looking bike you have. Enjoy the ride
  21. I just put a super brace on my 92 Ventuere made the front alot more stable you can tell a big diffrence in handleing with a passenger. Orlin
  22. My 84 does the same thing when I have a passenger, the first time it done I thought for sure something was going and after riding some good twisty windy roads it went away. Orlin
  23. I have a air box but no filter. PM me and we can figure out how to get it to you. Orlin
  24. Thanks everyone, We really like the new one it wasnt in my plan to get it but couldnt pass up the price, I still am going to sell 2 in the spring after I go threw them this winter and have them ready for someone to enjoy, The 92 has found its new home for sure and my Black 84 has alot of my time in it and is alot of fun to ride, I guess I know the one I am keeping. Orlin
