saddlebum Posted May 6, 2014 Share #27 Posted May 6, 2014 I wondered how it would do in the snow,,, you know how I like that stuff,,, I can see me now already Maybe you can buy a snow plow attachment for the front and a plow box for the rear. You will be all set for doing side walks this winter. But one thing I do gotta know when you road tested one did you check out how well it could do U_TURNS. :rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddlebum Posted May 6, 2014 Share #28 Posted May 6, 2014 Order is in, and with any luck at all will be on the road on Monday. It's a 2014, RT-S SM6, Cognac with a trailer hitch. So that makes it 3 wheels, 1330 power plant, 120 amp power supply, cruise, radio, true reverse, push out the front heat relief, 2 rads, 6 speed manual, light package,,, must I go on. Ya, it's a lot of bucks, but I thought now that they come out with a real machine,, 3 cyl, 115hp, why wait. The 85 is still in really nice shape and I'm not getting any younger,,, yet!!! Marca has a bit of an issue with her knee and back so climbing on the Spyder is easier than on the 2 wheels, and I don't mind having one either. Gonna take a little getting used to, but hey, that will come. Still gonna wear the regular glasses, helmet, gear,,,,,,, and so on, so you will able to recognize me,, but not for long, this baby moves out!!!!Hey Don't be using Marca as an excuse. The truth is Karl's memory has been fading. Lets face it how many times lately have you parked the bike with the kick stand up and rode it with the kick stand down. You bought this thing to eliminate the kick stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummingbird Posted May 6, 2014 Share #29 Posted May 6, 2014 It will corner much faster before turning over. now that IS funny ! I guess that comes from an experienced trike rider ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relic Posted May 6, 2014 Share #30 Posted May 6, 2014 Congradulations Carl. Enjoy it to the fullest and Dianne loves the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share #31 Posted May 6, 2014 To be perfectly honest, we didn't test ride the 2014, but did spend a day on one from Pioneer Motorsports a couple of years ago. At that point we decided that we liked the Venture much better and had no real reason to change,,,yet. But as time wears on I felt it was time to make the jump. The 2014 is a different machine, and yes we did do a u-turn on it,, it's the only thing we did actually,,, the barn yard will just have to wait. I WILL MISS THE VENTURE,,, I DO ALREADY!!!! So there is an awesome 85 for sale, let me know if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy2 Posted May 6, 2014 Share #32 Posted May 6, 2014 Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it. Plus it will be MUCH easier to do U-TURNS as you don't have to worry about falling over if wheel is turned too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggy Posted May 6, 2014 Share #33 Posted May 6, 2014 Soooooo........... When are you bringing it down????? And I think you should GIVE me the 85 Venture!!!! That way you wont have to keep paying me to be your friend!!!!! :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
