Met 2 new bikers today. One has a Venture, of course, like mine. He found me on the Internet. I post many suggestions on how to fix, modify, or do maintenance on these fine bikes. We met for breakfast, he bought. He was looking for someone to ride with. But just as importantly to him was someone that help him with his bike. He has the slow start in the summer problem. Yes I can fix it.
Tomorrow he said he wanted to go with us to the Guadalupe's. It's a 200 mile ride. There may not be any gas so we take some and lunch. His name is Rudy
The other new to our group is Joe. He is retired too. Can ride almost any day. He is concerned about his 3.5 gallon tank. Most are 5. He will have to take extra gas on many of our rides. Most bikes get 40-50 mpg so a 5 gallon tank can go 200 miles stretching it. He might be able to go 150.
Lowell, Mike, Benny, Mark and myself are the regulars but others have joined lately, too. Many ride just once and never show up or respond. So we drop them. I have names of about 40. 3 are female drivers, and a couple of females ride only.
Who's that in the pic? She's from Alaska...
