There's a part out listed on Craigslist in Loveland for an 86. http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/mcy/2256043287.html Don't know what all he has but I could converse with the gentleman and take a look see if there's anything anyone needs.

Back home from MD Oberlin, Thanks again to the Nelsons for opening their home and pulling off another wonderful day. Every year I get to meet new friends, find new ideas for the scoot, and finally felt I had learned enough from everyone here to work on a couple bikes today! ( Note to self, next year bring portable shade and folding chairs for more sit and talk time! ) My friend also passes along thanks for the gentleman that sync the carbs on his VStar, he says it runs alot better now and he owes you a beer! Hope eveyone has a safe trip home.

I saw an RSV this morning on my way to work. It was in Camden, Tennessee, on Hwy 70. Not sure of the color as it was just getting light, but it looked like this one in the pic. It was pulling a matching trailer, and was an older gentleman driving it. I yelled out "Ventureriders", and gave him the thumbs up as I went by, as I didn't have time to chase him down. Anyone here? http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/4020392169_cddef822591.jpg

I went for a couple hundred mile ride on saturday, pretty day, temps in the low 60s. Traffic was pretty light, but I do have a couple comments about people I saw while I was out wandering around. First to the gentleman I saw running on the beach up at Tybee Island. You sure looked purdy in your gym shorts and leg warmers. While I may go walking in a pair of shorts and a hoodie, my outfit would never be completed by a pair of stilletos. Second to the gentleman in the black Nissan behind me at the light in Savannah, There is not a gold mine in your nose. There is no buried treasure, and no matter how hard you try, you'll never feel your brain. When you spread your findings across your palm, I guarantee that you won't even find the hubcap that I saw missing from your car. Other than that, I had a pretty good ride and a good day. I think that spring has arrived in south Georgia, 60s and 70s all week with lows in the upper 40s and low 50s. As for today, I hear a golf cart calling my name!

At the store the other day a gentleman was buying a 24 pack of Pepsi which was on sale for 6.95. In line behind him a young lady had 2 12 packs at $4.95 each. Trying to be helpful, the gentleman told the young lady that buying the 24 pack was much cheaper. She thanked, and then stated that they didn't drink that much Pepsi in a week to make it worth her while to buy the 24 pack. Now, how does one respond to that???? And no, she wasn't blond.

So, we were at a lull in our work, waiting on a PO to start the next project, so look what I whipped up for a gentleman in Wis. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i301/Bob_Myers/P4140011.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i301/Bob_Myers/P4140012.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i301/Bob_Myers/P4140013.jpg

Don't know if this is the right forum to post this in but, after reading it, it reminded me of this site and the people that are on this site. That the people here go out of their way to help people with their problems no matter how big or small. This is a good read for Memorial Day. I hope everyone had a good Holiday As a veteran, please read this, especially today under the conditions we are living On Memorial Day.... As I came out of the supermarket that sunny day, pushing my cart of groceries towards my car, I saw an old man with the hood of his car up and a lady sitting inside the car, with the door open. The old man was looking at the engine I put my groceries away in my car and continued to watch the old gentleman from about twenty five feet away. I saw a young man in his early twenties with a grocery bag in his arm, walking towards the old man. The old gentleman saw him coming too and took a few steps towards him. I saw the old gentleman point to his open hood and say something. The young man put his grocery bag into what looked like a brand new Cadillac Escalade and then turn back to the old man and I heard him yell at the old gentleman saying, 'You shouldn't even be allowed to drive a car at your age.' And then with a wave of his hand, he got in his car and peeled rubber out of the parking lot. I saw the old gentleman pull out his handkerchief and mop his brow as he went back to his car and again looked at the engine. He then went to his wife and spoke with her and appeared to tell her it would be okay. I had seen enough and I approached the old man. He saw me coming and stood straight and as I got near him I said, 'Looks like you're having a problem.' He smiled sheepishly and quietly nodded his head. I looked under the hood myself and knew that whatever the problem was, it was beyond me. Looking around I saw a gas station up the road and told the old man that I would be right back. I drove to the station and went inside and saw three attendants working on cars. I approached one of them and related the problem the old man had with his car and offered to pay them if they could follow me back down and help him. The old man had pushed the heavy car under the shade of a tree and appeared to be comforting his wife. When he saw us he straightened up and thanked me for my help. As the mechanics diagnosed the problem (overheated engine) I spoke with the old gentleman. When I shook hands with him earlier, he had noticed my Marine Corps ring=2 0and had commented about it, telling me that he had been a Marine too. I nodded and asked the usual question, 'What outfit did you serve with?' He had mentioned that he served with the first Marine Division at Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal . He had hit all the big ones and retired from the Corps after the war was over. As we talked we heard the car engine come on and saw the mechanics lower the hood. They came over to us as the old man reached for his wallet, but was stopped by me and I told him I would just put the bill on my AAA card. He still reached for the wallet and handed me a card that I assumed had his name and address on it and I stuck it in my pocket.. We all shook hands all around again and I said my goodbye's to his wife. I then told the two mechanics that I would follow them back up to the station. Once at the station I told them that they had interrupted their own jobs to come along with me and help the old man. I said I wanted to pay for the help, but they refused to charge me. One of them pulled out a card from his pocket looking exactly like the card the old man had given to me. Both of the men told me then, that they were Marine Corps Reserves. Once again we shook hands all around and as I was leaving, one of them told me I should look at the card the old man had given to me. I said I would and drove off. For some reason I had gone about two blocks when I pulled over and took the card out of my pocket and looked at it for a long, long time. The name of the old gentleman was on the card in golden leaf and under his name....... 'Congressional Medal of Honor Society.' http://www.cmohs..org/ I sat there motionless looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together, because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage and an honor to have been in his presence. Remember, OLD men like him gave you FREEDOM for America . Thanks to those who served...& those who supported them. America is not at war. The U.S.. Military is at war. America is at the Mall. If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them! Remember , Freedom isn't Free, thousands have paid the price so you can enjoy what you have today.

Gentlemen, I have a 1989 Yamaha Venture Royale and am in need of the print board assembly for the control unit on the CLASS. If any of you know where I might find one, I would be grateful. Also, I found the post where the gentleman explained how to bypass the CLASS. Please give me your opinions on whether or not this would be the best route to take, instead of continuing to deal with the CLASS. Thank You, Jackie the TexasYamahaMama

I was driving through Clay City, KY today on my way to visit a customer when I saw a black 2002 Midnight RSV parked at a store. I stopped and "stalked" the owner. Very nice gentleman and he is supposed to come by and visit us here at VentureRider. So...if you see a new member join up from Kentucky, give him a big welcome.
