  1. Prayers sent.. I hope this young lady gets relief soon... Sounds like she is a generous soul she deserves much more than she is getting in return
  2. As mentioned simple things first fuses, where you have power and where you don't next would be switch, kill switch, kickstand then starter, solenoid. If those fail you may check if you can manually turn the motor over.... My $.02
  3. I miss having horses. there is no doubt horses were designed for man to ride and work. Nothing more natural for me than working with them. I have never been on a cattle drive or roundup but I would love to give it a go.
  4. I also have purchased a Stratoliner wheel. Is there anything I need to know before making the swap? Why did you decide to change the bearings? Did you reuse your rotors or adapt the covers to fit? Thanks! Your bike looks great:thumbsup2:
  5. I don't really know what to say but I am thinking of you and your brothers tonight. In times like these I try to focus on the good times in their lives and those they touched
  6. Looking rough for only 38
  7. Glad to hear someone is getting to ride:Venture: I've been running a jackhammer all weekend so I kinda feel like I've been riding a Harley:rotf: Hope to get the Venture out this week
  8. Much more sporty than the previous Goldwings!
  9. The downside would be you would have to change your user name. Might I be the first to suggest "Wingnut Dan":big-grin-emoticon:
  10. Are the Diamond R just the bracket or the deflector also?? The reason I ask is my entire bracket/ deflector broke off and is gone somewhere in TN??
  11. Profit is good:thumbsup2: I don't see the motor on the new one you ordered Well at least you can rest up on the Venture after all the peddling
  12. This was my thought also. I have also seen tanks that look to have fuel in them but its not enough to get over the Petcock inlet. If the fuel is low at all put more in. No flow from an open petcock is pointing to petcock, plugged fuel line..
  13. The wife and I prefer to stay on the NC side around Maggie Valley it's a good place to satellite out of each day and not as much of a circus as Gatlenburg. +1 on the Cherehala skyway and BRP, there is a cycle museum in Maggie Valley "Wheels Through Time" it's worth a look. There is a good ride that takes in several waterfalls south of Maggie Valley
  14. That's pretty good when you spend the entire first day of work going over all of your days off work:rotf: I definitely have to get out of construction:bang head: Anyway congrats on the new diggs:thumbsup2:
  15. Lookin sharp!!
  16. I know it well I grew up in Stoutsville and I work in Columbus so I have ran every inch of 674 and frequented the Marcy Diner. Send me a PM next time or my number is in my profile.
  17. I really like the Harley's, the Road Glide Ultra being my favorite. I know there are more advanced bikes technologically but the Harley's have great representation across the country, aftermarket is flooded with accessories, not to mention the cool clothing line.. As for the Haters... There are pro Yamaha haters, Goldwing haters, and the champagne sippin BMW haters that all can be just as big of A-holes as any Harley elitist. Any honest biker will admit his models failings and your models gold stars because he loves motorcycles and riding. Ride what you like is the bottom line. I personally want one of each but $$$ limits my choices so I try to buy the most reliable bike built for what I need it to do, considering style and representation as well. That is why for now I ride a Venture and hope Yamaha improves with the next model. LETS RIDE!!!!
  18. Wow nice bike!! I own it's twin and I only live 30 min away
  19. That's how I got hooked riding on dads Triumph. Never forget it:thumbsup2:
  20. No prob we will see you at the IR if you change your mind or anyone else wants to throw in we are an easy going bunch
  21. Ok we are going around Lake Superior on the way home and probably camping along the way. Plan is to head to Duluth MN and then north around lake back through Sue St. Marie and Makinac bridge then 23s. Plan is to take our time so if you are in for it let me know.
  22. Very Sharp:thumbsup2:
  23. Sorry to hear about your friend. He sounds like someone I would liked to have known
