videoarizona Posted April 26, 2016 Share #26 Posted April 26, 2016 It was just a pretty good deal. Even has the Wagner Grill Guard and the trunk spoiler. Will have to pick up a tank bib and that's about it. Those white wall tires will have to go but I'll wear them out first. Boy...I don't know. Those white walls sure look pretty to me...especially with the black and chrome! Yessirree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted April 26, 2016 Share #29 Posted April 26, 2016 I like the white walls too on the black bike. Was the previous owner a VR.org member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share #30 Posted April 26, 2016 No he wasn't. Said that he had visited a few times but was not a member of any online sites or clubs. Seems like a nice guy. He has several bikes including a Road Glide and a Road Star among others. His dad bought this one new and ordered all the chrome and etc. the day he bought the bike. He then had heart trouble though and never got to ride it much. So he bought it from his Dad a couple of years ago but he just hasn't ridden it much either.

mabeline Posted April 27, 2016 Share #33 Posted April 27, 2016 I've got a Russel Day Long on my 08 and really like it. It pretty much tripled my saddle time before I start to squirm. Myself, I'm partial to white walls. Gives the scoot an old school look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveand Barbie Posted April 27, 2016 Share #34 Posted April 27, 2016 I wouldn't trade my Russell for 5 Corbins. Then again, that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pope3567 Posted April 27, 2016 Share #35 Posted April 27, 2016 WOW...what a beauty. Congrats, especially like the look of the white walls! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus1300 Posted April 27, 2016 Share #36 Posted April 27, 2016 Congrats on the Venture,that is such a beautiful bike. I too love the white walls,I had them on the Blue 08 RSTD and the really added a lot to the looks. I think the same is true of your RSV. Very classy looking for a very classy guy.

Freebird Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share #38 Posted April 27, 2016 Well...I haven't even picked it up yet and IT has started. Triple Diamond Cut fins ordered from @eusa1 Also noticed that there is no front fender rail on it...just got that taken care of thanks to Ebay. Working with Nanci, @Luvdaleather on a tank bib and maybe saddlebag lid covers. Things are moving right along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share #39 Posted April 27, 2016 OK....leveling links ordered. WOW...and I thought that there was nothing I would be able to add to this bike. I keep remembering things. Will probably forgo the VMax rear and Dyna 3000 for now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvdaleather Posted April 27, 2016 Share #40 Posted April 27, 2016 Atta boy Freebird, let's all watch him spend his "Harley Bucks" in all the right places! Freebird, I'll get back to you on the bib either today or Friday. I've got some cool ideas percolating! No shop time tomorrow! I'm actually meeting a friend tomorrow, at Russell Day Long Seats in Redding, CA. He is an ex-Venture Rider and is now having another Russell Seat put on his new bike; a beamer . I'm pretty excited about the visit because I get to see the operation first hand. By the way you guys, this is the first time since I started creating the saddlebag lid covers for the RSV/RSTD/RS bikes that I have had so many on the board! Holy Cow I'm knee deep in Venture Rider orders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share #41 Posted April 27, 2016 Touring Russell should be interesting. I'm anxious to try the one on my new bike. It's only a 225 mile ride home but that should give me an idea if I'm going to like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbjman Posted April 28, 2016 Share #44 Posted April 28, 2016 Nice! Seeing you got another Venture prompted me to renew my subscription!! (I was going to get around to it anyway, but I wanted to do it now so I could see the pic!) Congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill1 Posted April 28, 2016 Share #45 Posted April 28, 2016 Nice choice Boss Man you know how too pickem. Even though with fear of getting kicked off here. I still look at you as a trader for selling that Road Glide. I also do look for my 06 Venture when I'm out and about. Happy Motoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will miss many things about the Road Glide but I missed things about the RSV also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted April 28, 2016 Share #47 Posted April 28, 2016 What you've done here Don made me stop and think about all the money I've literally thrown away over the years on my motorcycles. I'm talking about the spent on "personalizing" ... safety chrome, performance mods, and various farkle items I've added to my bikes only to turn around after a few years and sell the damn thing ... get another, and start all over again. Must be some kind of "addiction" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pope3567 Posted April 28, 2016 Share #48 Posted April 28, 2016 We could have worse "vices", although I see it less as a vice and more of a passion. It keeps me somewhat out of trouble, and is an "addiction" I can live with (and so can the wife, so far). Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share #50 Posted April 28, 2016 Well tomorrow is the big day. My wife will drive me down to Cincinnati tomorrow to pick up the bike. Hopefully the weather will clear up a bit because it has been raining here all day and a bit on the cool side also. 45 and rain here right now so that will not be optimal weather. Either way, I'm riding it home tomorrow. Really kind of excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
