99silver Posted October 30, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2007 OK !, You've heard this before but, I was making a delivery in Metamora, MI today around lunch time and you guess it a venture pulled up sooo I had to go talk to the driver. The man is 82 years old and had got this beautiful 88 Venture from a friend who was unable to ride anymore, I ran outside for a quick look and it was sporting a new set of Avon Venoms. I had to ask why Avons and he told me he had them on his other bike at home and was really happy with them ( Kawasaki Nomad ) and he proceeded to tell me he rebuilt the front end new seals Progressive springs and synced the carbs ect. I told him about this site and who knows we just might see him on here. How Cool, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99silver Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted November 1, 2007 Hey Eck, He may be related to Redneck cause he was way over 6 foot tall. A legend in my mind, I'll keep a look out for him. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipshot Posted November 1, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 1, 2007 Hey Eck, He may be related to Redneck cause he was way over 6 foot tall. A legend in my mind, I'll keep a look out for him.
