  1. So Bridgestone is the Viagra of tire makers ? Just how long can they last ? Is it true that if they stay hard after 4,000 miles you have to see a mechanic ?
  2. None of your other 47, or is it 52, bikes have a trunk rack ?
  3. I had to place a piece of ABS plastic in mine and tape them shut to keep my legs from melting off in the summer here. I want to make an ABS cover to totally block them for summer riding. I have read here that there is enough air flow out the bottom for engine cooling.
  4. More comparison: They got Dingos...We got Dingy..
  5. You gotta go back to post #3 and read the fine print...
  6. I also have a set of bars off of an 83 you can have if you need them.
  7. I'm sure some of 2nd Gens can tell you how they get the rock chips, from all the 1st Gens passing them, out of their plastic.
  8. Which is exactly why I have my own version of "Don't ask...Don't tell..":rotf:
  9. I got my Carbtune in like 7 - 10 days after ordering it. I was out of town when it showed up so I am not sure exactly when it arrived. I have heard others say it was fast delivery too. Here is a thread about fast delivery: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69546
  10. Dan.... you have to stop her from watching "The Devils Ride" .....
  11. Thank you...She is 10 months old in 2 days. ( and in case anybody is wondering..the tow behind trailer is a joke .)
  12. Teaching my Grand Princess to enjoy riding..... ....anything with two wheels...
  13. I had a set of throttle Rockers on my BMW. I need to get a set for my VR. They were great and helped relax the hand/wrist. Helped relieve the numbness and finger cramping.
  14. So... bored sitting on the couch and watching Deadliest Catch. Seeing all that Twitter crap going along the screen. Pick up the phone..Google Twitter..and the next thing I know I have a Twitter account. Now I don't have a clue what to do with it. I don't want/need to foll a bunch of garbage..so I started thinking/wondering..anything good motorcycle related ? So... Is there ??
  15. Good point on the temp issue. It has been 108/109 here every day and hot in the garage. When it's parked in there. AND DON'T SAY IT .!!...DO NOT SAY IT...!!!! DO NOT IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM SAY IT ........!!! NO ..NO ..NO....
  16. So I received all the new gaskets and o-rings.... and all the leaking has stopped... AND.. I just know that as soon as I take it apart to replace the now non-leaking parts, "sumthin" (bad) is gonna happen...
  17. Like he said.... for what bike ? and exactly what parts ?
  18. KIC

    Air Vents

    Almost as fast as the brunette bikes go, and WAAAAaaayy faster then a 2nd Gen.
  19. So here is the best advice I have for you; Be sure to take two (2) videographers, placing one in front, and one behind you and those who chose to help you. AND... consider this a pre-order request for a copy of the video because I wanna see this !!! I smell a reality show video clip !!!
  20. And I got mine too.... thanks
  21. Brian, If you need one I have one that I can mail it ASAP. Did the kickstand arrive yet ? Bill
  22. Mini-muffin, Per your request, I managed to get 13 of those "items". Special shipping arrangements have been made. PLEASE...don't mention a word to Homeland Security about where you got those from... I know Nothin' !! ( Said in my best Sgt Schultz voice )
  23. So yesterday I was looking for a box of stuff and found an old box of photos going back to 1975. One of the envelopes had the photos of my very first road trip on a bike. It was in 1977, I was 18, in the Coast Guard and stationed in Yorktown VA and had just bought a slightly used Honda 360T. A couple of guys and I were going to go ride to D.C. They canceled at the last minute. I went by myself. As the pictures show, I rode through Virginia and around D.C. Being a desert rat from Arizona, the sights and scenery were pretty awesome. I ended up at the Capitol and then turned around and rode back. As you can see... I also had my first set of "poor man" saddle bags...
  24. Here is some information on the MK1. Also, a document on the information to check when looking at a bike. This was supplied to me from this forum and I printed it off and used it when looking at my 89. I also used it when I bought my 87. CHECKLIST for 1st Generation VENTURES.doc
  25. Well we got our rain today. first one in a long time. Actually had large hail for awhile.. At least we have clean roofs now..
