Hello all, I was just wondering if there is anyone close to Akron Ohio that might be able to help change out my tires? I'm willing to take them off and all, but I don't have the tools to break them down and spin balance them. If someone's got their on little garage that is willing to help, I'd be more than willing to through a few bones their way for the effort. Please feel free to PM me. Like I said, I'll take the old tires off and on, I just need help getting the new tires on the wheel hub and balance them. Thanks

Hello, Been awhile since I've been on. My 1983 is up an running for the season, but I still am having trouble with a "serious" exhaust leak. I mean it seems to be leaking in several different locations. I have purchased new gaskets for all the pipe locations. And I guess I'm going to try and tackle it this coming weekend. But I was wondering if there is anyone out there (in my local area of Akron Ohio) that has done this type of thing before and would like to give me a hand? If you can help out or give some advice and would like to get together this weekend, drop me a PM and we'll exchange info. Thanks everyone. -
I'm a soon to be picking up a (new to me) 2008 Venture. My addVenture started by searching the internet adds to find the best buy (for me). Many slipped by from my hesitance... some just didn't feel right... some were priced like they were gold lined. Searches, eBay & Craigs List were used. After days of searches, notes & research; I stumbled upon a poor lonely Red/Black Venture abandoned by it's owner, which apparently left his bike love & turned over to the Dark Side. Yes, the previous owner succumbed to all of the Harley marketing & mantra; & is now marching in line with his buddies (this is just a guess). Well, the poor bike is anxiously waiting for me to pick it up & take it home. She (the bike) already nows that I love it & have started making preparations to take care of it. The plan is: search for & buy a Dowco cover for it as soon as I find a good price [Anyone have suggestions] buy insurance from Progressive the Wednesday before I get it purchased ticket to fly to Akron, OH (Orbits is the best) [leaving early & arriving in Akron on 11/7 @ 11:45AM] eat hardly anything before flying to minimize human pit-stops on the way home [pack some energy bars] after landing in Akron, get transportation to Dover, OH (in process of finding) [anyone have any recommendations - Shuttle service?] taking my rain gear/suit, full helmet, ski gloves, boots, level 2 armor jacket/pants & security after giving cashier check to owner, putting plate on, checking tire pressures, checking fluids, filling up with gas (adding Sea Foam)... I'll mount my GPS & call the wife that I'll be starting the final leg of my addVenture. Lastly, start the long fun ride from Dover, OH to Richmond, VA Woo! Hoo! I can't wait. These Venture bikes seem like they were made for me. So... I'm still looking for recommendations on: best transportation to get for travel from Akron Airport to Dover any suggestion for buying a cover for the new girl... - manufacturers - models - sellers Thanks; johnb
