Hey Virginia Riders, We are going to have a M&E. August 31st. In case your not sure who Gunboat is or you are a little behind here are the related links http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=79619 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=79691 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=79577 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=79491 time: is going to be at the usual 12 noon place: I'm thinking Richmond VA which is about 2.5hrs from VA Beach, 2hrs from NOVA and 3.5hrs from Roanoke its labor day weekend and Richmond usually isn't a destination place for holidays so traffic / space shouldn't be an issue POST here if you think you might be able to come. I'll post up in the M&E section where we are meeting when I figure that out... Any & All suggestions are welcome.

As many of you are aware Don (Gunboat) has the early stages of Prostate Cancer. Today is the day that he goes in for his surgery. If you would please keep him in your prayers. I dont often come on and ask for things like this, but Don is one of my very best friends and I love him dearly. Here's hoping for a successful surgery and full recovery.

Took off for Houston on Friday. Spent a wonderful time on I-10 waiting for a semi to clear a bridge. Seems he was a bit too wide for the rails!! They had to jack the load up over the rails. Got to town and had a visit with TxVenture (Don H.) Went to Gunboats and had home-cooked beans and cornbread. Dang was that 17 bean good! Left the next morning for Rusk to meet with Masterguns and Mavrik. Beautiful ride up, started at 69 degrees and went to about 80 by noon. From Rusk the 4 of us took off for Lake O' the Pines. Great ride up. Did have a bit of fun with the dreaded death wobble!!I was in the lead and went around a semi at slightly (Ahem- about 110mph) above posted speeds. As I cut back in ol' Mocha proceeded to tank slap. Bars moving about 6-8 inches and the whole bike dancing like a drunken hip-hopper. Gunboat said he just backed off and started flashing his brakes to give me room if I went down. What a buddy! I got her back straight and we went on. At the next stop sign I pulled the entire seat cover out of my cheeks and put it back on. I then worked the bike through a couple more runs and speed changes at the same gears and speeds. No problems. Guess I will check the front end again. Gunboat can tell you about the bird's-eye view. We got to L.O.P. and loved the area. Hated the accomodations. Sparse and no places to eat. Actually checked in the had supper and cancelled the rooms. Did have a good catfish dinner in a 10 seat cafe. Left for Athens to arrive about 9pm. Masterguns cut off at I-20 and headed for home. We had a good sleep and checked the area. Mavrik served as our tour guide. Perfect place for the Stampede. Even a Yamaha dealer in town. (Go get-em Mavrik). Headed for Houston at noon on Sunday. Lost the R.H. saddle bag lid on the bottom of town. Found it battle scarred in the center median (thanks Don). I split at I-45 and SR 79. Got home at 6pm last night. Miles - Me 1200 total Gunboat and I on Sat. - 500 A special thanks to my riding buddies. Don C. (Gunboat), Herb (Masterguns), and Mike (Mavrik). It was a pleasure to have ya'll on board. I couldn't have done it without you. The bark of 2 sets of Bub's and the hum of 2 1st Gens. can't be beat. By the way Herb, beautiful maroon 1st Gen. And, I do have a spare lid in the garage. So, bike back to original by 7pm. on Sunday. JB

I called 2 local Yami dealers and each told me that I needed a different kit. One said the kit was several items that totaled about $50 and the second told me that alls I needed was teh 2 seals for the slave kit if I was dealing with a small leak. I am dealing with a small slow leak but want to make sure I change out the right items. Is the 2 seal changes enough typically?? On another note I won a set of RK pipes yesterday fro $16.50 yesterday and they are local to me. So I will get to add them as soon as I arranage for the fitting I need from our member who is selling them. My clearview arrived yesterday so I guess I can give gunboat his shorty windshield back. Thanks for letting me borrow it gunboat!! I out of town at the moment at sons house in RoundRock Tx but hoping I can get my biek back on the road and take a ride next weekend. have a great weekend everyone jb

Wooooooooooo Friggin hoooooooooooo! I finally fixed the ghost in the raido, thanks to Gunboat! It wasn't the connections, now soaked in di-electric grease. It wasn't the MCU, though I was beginning to think, it was. It wasn't, me! It was, the friggin Radio/amp itself!!! Ironically, the local dealership pin-pointed that at the first visit... Oh man, it's so cool, the MP3 even works too! I replaced the radio/amp and voila, it all worked. Gunboat, please respond soon as you can, so I can $paypal your money. I can't seem to find your emails lately. To all, "Gunboat" sent me his radio, free of charge, without ever meeting me.......if it worked, I'd pay, if not..............anyhooo, just amazing.This site, the people, heartwarming. Now, if only I could get all the screws back into the back of the fairing, that'd be cool. Anyway, Semper Fi, Erich:bighug:

The VRO attendees included the following: TxVenture & Linda (Don) LSMedic ( JB ) Ponch & Kathy ( David ) Gunboat & Joyce & Sarah ( Don ) There where also several other friends and relatives that came in from S`Port, LA Thanks to all that brought goodies!! I think Gunboat thought I needed to put on a few pounds, by leaving that Ice Cream here....:-)~ I want to give a Great Thank You to JB..... my PC had a real nasty Virus, to the point that I couldn`t really use it, and he stayed Sat. Night untill close to 10:00 and worked on it for me, I think we got it cleaned up now, myself and Janet really appreciate all of you and feel that we are blessed to have Freinds like ya`ll.
