XV1100SE Posted August 4, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2013 During our trip we've seen a couple 1st Gens and a couple 2nd Gens... usually going the other way. My reaction is to turn to channel 29 on the cb and call out if there are any Venture Riders out there. No response. When you pass by another Venture.... what do you do other than to wave?

Flyinfool Posted August 4, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2013 Wave is my only option. No CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomephil Posted August 4, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2013 I just wave, but I wave to all bikes and scooters. And my cb talk button doesn't work... Yea, I know Jay, I'll look at it before next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted August 4, 2013 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2013 I have seen a few going the other way on the interstate. I usually run channel 19 when by my self. Have talked to a few but I always wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted August 4, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 4, 2013 If going the other way and on a two lane, I will try to hit the air horns. If I see them parked, I will try to stop and introduce myself and mention Venture Rider.org. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted August 4, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 4, 2013 I down shift 2 gears, make a hard left and powerslide the rear wheel around. Then I punch the throttle and pull the front wheel off the ground. I speed up on them waving wildly and see if they stop or run like hell because they think I'm a lunatic .....sometimes I just wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spear Posted August 5, 2013 Share #15 Posted August 5, 2013 I wish I could just find another one. Very few and far between in Oz. In fact the last one I saw I was 1,500kms away from home (in the tin top) and pulled up on the side of the highway taking photos of a canola crop. I could hear this familiar exhaust note approaching along with another familiar sound. Before I could give a wave and an invite to pull in, an identical bike to mine - fitted with the same Voyager outfit went flying by. So, in case anybody from the Adelaide area is reading this (rego plate WEDGE?) you looked good mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMike Posted August 5, 2013 Share #17 Posted August 5, 2013 Ive only seen 2. One was a very young guy going East on 76 and one was parkeed at a bar. I quickly take inventory on what is on the bike as far as accessories. .... Like to know what works. Since I drive about 130k miles a year by truck. Chances are a wave qont be seen although I catch myself doing that. I don't run a cb in the truck. Most drivers don't listen to the cb unless therr is an accident or road clog. Xm radio. Cell phones surfing this site you know the deal. Other things to do. Even the Miles I travel I dont see many ventures. Mostly HD BMW and Gold Wings.

Ky. Rider Posted August 5, 2013 Share #18 Posted August 5, 2013 My wave usually includes a thumbs up if I see those "eyebrows" coming. 1st gens are harder for me to detect. (I know, probably going too fast!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star4772 Posted August 6, 2013 Share #21 Posted August 6, 2013 I wave and think to my self THANK GOD NOT ANOTHER HARLEY. Here in AZ anyway seems like Harley country out here.

Why the last time I drove across AZ there must have been 5 or 6 meetings going on by the side of the road. Even saw one individual on his knees praying. Now that's what I call devotion....
