SilvrT

If we were to go back thru ALL the threads on this site and compile ALL of the "bad-mouthing" of the Venture that we could find, connected with the member/ex-member's name/nick, we'd probably find several of us INCLUDING that person you refer to. The ONE person that would not be on that list (among many others) is you, Don.

no worries here M8T ... Microsoft Word is capable of 56,000,023 maximum pages so we're barely scratching the surface. Keep 'er commin!

puc, making progress on your "book". Got all the text up to your prev post so far. Captured all the pics for later inserting. 31 pages without the pics LOL

How freakin IRONIC is that!!! Nina and I had just been watching a show about that 1956 airplane crash just before I came here and read your latest post! EEEERIE !!!

1 You let your 14-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids. 2 The Blue Book value of your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas is in it. 3 You've been married three times and still have the same in-laws. 4 You think a woman who is out of your league bowls on a different night. 5 You wonder how service stations keep their rest-rooms so clean. 6 Someone in your family died right after saying, 'Hey, guys, watch this.' 7 You think Dom Perignon is a Mafia leader. 8 Your wife's hairdo was once ruined by a ceiling fan. 9 Your junior prom offered day care. 10. You think the last words of the Star-Spangled Banner are 'Gentlemen, start your engines.' 11. You lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels. 12. The Halloween pumpkin on your porch has more teeth than your spouse. 13. You have to go outside to get something from the fridge. 14. One of your kids was born on a pool table. 15. You need one more hole punched in your card to get a freebie at the House of Tattoos. 16. You can't get married to your sweetheart because there's a law against it. 17. You think loading the dishwasher means getting your wife drunk. And in closing.... Two good ol' boys in a Alabama trailer park were sitting around talking one afternoon over a cold beer after getting off work at the local Nissan plant. After a while the 1st guy says to the 2nd, "If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday & make love to your wife while you was off huntin' and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us kin?" The 2nd guy crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his head and squinted his eyes thinking real hard about the question. Finally, he says, "Well, I don't know about kin, but it would make us even!" NOW Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY

Wrong gender for that my friend....

Great, I've already started on your 2014 writeup. I'll work the 2013 one into the beginning of it. Unfortunately I won't be able to embed the vids but all the pics will be in it. I'm gonna do some "fancying up" of a few of them... or probably most ... before I insert them into the document. Hopefully you'll like the end result. I enjoy doing this so no worries.

No records of that and "goldie" became "Blackie" the first winter I had it. I'll drop a pic or 2 in here later this evening once I get home from work. I used to have pics of it here but when Don upgraded the site, all my pics disappeared.

I'll get started on it shortly. Hopefully have it done before spring riding time. You mentioned "last year's report" ... send me a link or whatever you have and I'll see what I can do with that.

puc, that part about the tour bus and the occupants coming over and admiring your bike reminded me of a time when Nina (my wife) and I were on our honeymoon, riding our '87 "goldie" at the time. We'd stopped at a popular spot and along came a tour bus, full of Japanese tourists. As they exited the bus, many of them came over to look at "goldie" and we heard a few of them exclaim "ahhhh-sooooo Yah Maa Haaa!" It was quite the experience! Been riding the Victory now for a couple years and have had a few occasions where tourists have come over to admire the bike, talk to us, and have us take their pic alongside the bike. It's danged awesome! So, are you gonna compile all this into a single "book" of sorts, such as maybe a Word document or something? If you haven't already decided to do that, I would be happy to do it for you as a sort of "payment" for all this enjoyable reading.
