Isn't that Harley speak for "Jealous" ?? I know I have heard that phrase before somewhere..

Please put your year of bike in your header... Here is how: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?90684-Help-us-to-Help-you-with-your-bike-info-in-your-header-updated-to-new-forum

You could go yellow, with a little customizing..

I'm on the east side of town. I would like to see your ride

Dan, I have a room and plenty of ammo for you anytime ! I live in the east side of Tucson, we keep it safe and ride faster than the criminals that dare to venture here. This is this morning's sunrise followed by 72 degrees

Was that the trike that was for sale in Marana ?

My son-in-law just bought this 86 from a fellow member... sounds like the color you are talking about.

...There was plenty of room, but due to a certain border issue from our President of Socialism, it's getting pretty crowded.... fast.... and after spending the last 4 days with that white crap on the ground in Indiana, we flew back to the sunshine and the wife and I got home from the airport, jumped on the bike and went to get some Mexican shrimp tacos... and "forgot" to wear our jackets... Why don't you guys keep the ice in the freezer where it belongs ?? I love our Arizona Global Warming, I mean climate change... I mean winter temps.. Any other political lines I can push ??

Thanks for the information. If the booster is not working, what is the symptoms that would show ? Any type of symptoms while idling, running fast, decelerating or holding steady ? I will get a mighty vac to test it when I get back in town. I do have another one on my parts bike if I need it. Thanks again guys.

What is the PhotoPlog ? Where is it ? If I am being annoyed, I like to know by what and where....

Puc... prayers sent your way, actually straight up on your behalf... anyway, I am not a medical expert by any means, but I could recommend a special nose spray that would probably work on an old road warrior like you... even comes with a sniffing tube ( attached) .. take care and heal fast.....

How did you dye the oil ? What did you use and what is the process ?

Thanks.... ironically a friend of mine stopped by today on his 83 to watch our beloved Cardinals lose a game to the SeaDucks and presto.. I never noticed that his had one on his bike.

I have been battling a MPG issue for awhile. After finding issues with my new diaphragms and such, the bike is running great, got rid of the infamous garage gas smell and return the bike to it's former fast and powerful self. BUT, I have not got it to return to the 42-45 MPG I was getting when I first bought it. Background: New plug wires, New diaphragms, added the little white washers to the slides, synced the carbs ( many times) and they look real close, checked for vacuum leaks, looked, tinkered and toyed. Now, my question: How do you test/check the vacuum advance/Boost sensor ? The line is hooked to the #2 carb base I checked the little black and white thing (? what is that thing and what does it do ?? ) and it allows air both ways When running, I disconnected it and tried to create suction to see if the RPM's would changed and nothing happens ( did not use a tool just my mouth and the suction stuck it to my tongue and did not release. So, could that advance/booster allow the bike to run great but not be working at higher speeds and then affect my MPG ?

That looks pretty cool...I would like to see a picture after installation. Do they only fit 83 to 85's ?

No problem Kevin, I have (not-so) fond memories of trips down the way from Tortillita Flats/Canyon Lake to Apache Lake. That (dirt) road was scary at best and usually just terrifying trying to pull a big boat through. I remember towing a big V-Drive with a Land Cruiser down it with out any trailer brakes and the Land Cruiser brakes were just about enough to stop the LC with out the boat. Now I have to admit it has been years since I have driven that road and it might be widened from 1 1/2 lanes and even paved by now . Anyway, the size of Video's sailboat just couldn't be fun going down that curvy cliff filled road. Ride Safe.. and thanks for the return of the teenage nightmares about that driving on that road. lol:rotf:

That would be insane to go to Roosevelt through that way. Maybe you are thinking of Apache Lake. That is between Canyon Lake and Roosevelt. The easiest way to Roosevelt is up through Florence passed Superior over to through the hopping nothing town of Miami and then down to the lake. Was a great lake to camp at until the Govt. decided to take it over and screwed it all up for camping and fun stuff. And we DO NOT ALLOW SNOW THERE !!!

While you are ignoring us out here in Venture Land, what about the possibility of being able to change the color of the location marker to a 3rd color that would indicate a member willing to house/lodge a traveling member while on a trip ? If I was going somewhere on a certain route, I could look at the member's map and see (let's say) "RED" markers showing a potential night stop or somebody willing to "house" a member for the night or a quick repair while on a trip. Just a thought. You may now return to your previously scheduled ignoring programming... P.S. I don't have a place for a tent, but I have several comfy rooms with cable TV ( and a pool for summer cool offs) P.S.S. And I make great ice tea in case CowPuc Robertson drops by...

Don't you just love having Puc around on the forum ??? Now if we could only get his twin brother Si from Louisiana to join....

Uhm... what do you think ?? That Bullwinkle wants to live somewhere that would freeze his rack off ?? Have you not seen the pictures of David and Bullwinkle on the VR ?? Rocky can barely keep up....

Uhm... As a Special Agent with the Arizona Department of Snow Regulation, you should know that there still is a warrant out for you for the violation of the Arizona Snow Act of 2002. First time offenders can get off with just a bike confiscation and a small fine that covers title transfer. A second offense is pretty painful. The choice is yours....

Hi All. So if you all thought one of me was bad enough..I just signed my son-in-law up for a membership ( I'm still trying to figure out how to pay the $12.00) He recently purchased 1Rooster's beautiful orange 1986 1st Gen. He is in the area of Dunn North Carolina and I am hoping there are a few Venture family members around there that might be able to help him out now and then as he learns about the bike. Hope you all say Hi to N22Stull

It's gonna be a LLoooonnnggg snow bound winter for you guys. Looks like I'll enjoy the global warming affects of the Arizona winter, oh wait, that is called beautiful winter weather, and ride. You guys can figure out how to change the internaspinning of the earthbowling rotational outer circumferenceral lines of the planet to try to shake off the white stuff that you all seem to like living in. Pull the switch ! Just don't send that crap down here.. I have a group ride to Globe AZ planned for Saturday morning. Gonna be a nippy 48 degrees at kickstands up at 6:30am. :draming:You guys just keep dreamin' about our riding weather....

After searching everywhere for it, I finally found it.

I really like that color. I think it just knocked the blue color from my #1 spot to #2 spot. And as far as the fastest..since I fixed my carbs I now know why they really say they are the fastest. ENJOY !!
