    15000 miles and... driopped it

    Did the same thing on my Venture, the first day I owned it! Only I needed two of MY bystanders to help me up with it. Now THAT's embarrassing. (I think it's also the day I herniated my SECOND disk!) Amazingly though, with all that tupperware, my bike made a perfect two-point landing when it...

    Finally bit the bullet...

    I'm hoping you can tell me what kind of risers are on THIS bike (if it even shows up...based on my uploading skills!) Thanks for any info (if the picture does show)......and for your patience (if it doesn't) :-) Hey.........it worked!!

    Did You Name Your Bike ?

    I called mine, Bertha. As in BIG. Course, she's a Venture. Just waiting for her little cousin, Betty, the F****** Joyous Ride to arrive......sometime damned soon, I hope. Getting tired of lugging that 869 pounds around! I called mine, Bertha. As in BIG. Course, she's a Venture. Just waiting...

    Heated Grips...

    I can tell by the resounding response you received that perhaps you and I are the only two members of Scottish (or are you Dutch) decent! I, for one (er, two), would question the logic of putting something warm on the bike......rather than on the rider. Has anyone, to your knowledge, done the...

    Why can't I post?

    Greetings from the interior...or, from the EXTERIOR, it appears. Seems I CAN post.......just not with a copy of my wonderful photo (he said modestly) or signature (it's my lifelong slogan and I'm dying to introduce you to it). Let's see if introducing myself here does any good. "See me? Feel...

    Quieter exhaust

    Hi there! I don't have a solution for you.....I just wanted to pipe up how about pleased I am to see someone who wants to "pipe down". Elsewhere, even on this site unfortunately, strange people who have just come into possession of a new (to them) motorcycle immediately (for some bizarre...

    ENGINE Repair Decision

    OK, here goes...... 1. You ask the guy you're buying it from; that "wrecker" we're talking about. Go to the biggest shop you can find. They'll have the biggest selection.....AND the biggest reputation on the line when picking a good engine for you. 2. You trust the guy in #1. If he's been in...

    ENGINE Repair Decision

    Hey, Mike.....greetings from YAM (yet another Mike!) I take it from a number of your comments that you're not a mechanical wizard (no offense intended....you probably crank out a mean spreadsheet!).....but here's my 2 cents. I'd combine the wisdom of the guys who said "find a local mechanic"...
