we rode about 100 miles on Dec 26, 72 degrees. we just followed the front wheel through some back roads

I’ll ride a snowman ride the 1st and a Patriot Guard escort the 2nd. Supposed to be in the 50’s both days.

It may be winter but I'm still taking advantage of the weather when I can. So far, I was riding in November and December.

I really liked my Victory, reliable and low maintenance. Then Poopolaris nix them slightly after they "bought" the Indian name. I vowed right then to not buy an Indian, not because of maintenance, but because the snowmobile company had no idea about motorcycling community and could care less and I figured they would kill Indian too. I switched to a Can Am, but my last trip to the mountains, something was lacking for me. So I am looking to maybe a BMW r1200rt. The Victory got kind of heavy I thought @ close to 900 lb, the R1200 weighs in just over 600.

Was a Yamaha “Accessory” sold by Yamaha. Men’s large size in very good condition. A rare find! Send me a pm if interested.

it might if it wasn't diluted.

Glad to hear you got the chance to ride. On my end, we got a little busy just after Dec. 23 with friends and family coming and going and going somewhere else and doing other things other than riding. I am itching to ride as soon as the weather breaks for the better in Pa. It is 23°F and it feels like 11°F. That is too cold for me. As a consolation, I had just renewed my SVTC's vehicle registration so it has something to do with my bike. lol I am praying for warmer temps to roll in our neck of the woods someday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY VENTURIDER FAMILY !!! Enjoy the gifts the food and family, but let's all remember the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Chritmas to all.

Merry Christmas to my Venture Rider friends and families. I pray everyone has a blessed and merry day.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good ride!!! 65° riding weather here for Christmas, that’s a great 🎁.

Merry Christmas to you and all our members.

Ours got pretty busy this year, with all the bling on it, but I promise there is a tree under there.

Howdy! We had our Christmas early in the month. Now Its time to just have our little family Christmas at home. The lady will take my son to his brother's for Christmas, so its probably going to be a quiet Christmas for me! Later in the weekend I'll be going to my mothers about 2 hours away and wiring up her motorcycle trailer and acid washing my fuel tank! Happy Holidays!

Good evening to all! Just got home after being out all day and I got all of my Christmas shopping done. Weather was cold and windy, but that didn't stop me from going out. Are you ready for Christmas? I hope you are or will be soon. Enjoy the coming week and stay safe.

Just got ours set up. No decorations yet.

All the smaller companies are falling by the wayside. Overbey Two Wheel Sound was a similar business to Sierra, making all the big rallies and shipping helmets and electronics all over the country based here in Murray. He got sick and passed away 5 years ago and nobody tried to keep it going. The store is still fully stocked with name brand helmets and electronics just collecting dust, his motorhome and trailer in the lot not moving.

Asheville KOA West. We were not confident KOA East would be repaired in time.

Changing the brake lines to stainless steel braided will make a huge difference.

Yamaha came out with the 1700 VMax years ago and its been discontinued. Though I still agree. Have the new venture be sleeker and styled more like the new Goldwing with the 1700 V-4 and I would have bought one new sight unseen. Theres a market for it. Just look at the BMW K1600s

Took my 06 RSV into a local shop last Spring for new tires an oil change and to resolve an occasional miss. They told me they replaced a fouled plug and that resolved the miss. OK.... Didn't sit right with me as I'd replaced the plugs maybe 4k ago, but whatever. She ran pretty good but I still got an occasional bit of smoke from the one side, ...same side as before. I ran it for about a thousand miles with no change. Very rideable but I knew something was still a bit off. Trailered it to Vogel and rode it the first day, but the second day the miss became a problem to the extent that I didn't trust it. Lisa and I went "antiquing" instead. I took it back to the same shop...(I trust these guys)....They had it for a week and I just picked it up and it ran better than it had in years. Smooooth idle, good throttle response. So I obviously asked what was going on and they said there was a fouled seat on a carb and leaking crossover tubes? I'm guessing those are the tubes that carry fuel between the carbs. Anyhoo, The owner said they should have looked into it a little better when they last had it, and since I've been a good customer, NO CHARGE. Cool. I'm a mechanic myself, so I understand how this stuff goes sometimes, so I was willing to pay for service they hadn't provided before, but was happy to see that customer service isn't dead. So....A shout out to Mobile Cycle Works in Ashley, Ohio. Thanks to John and Dane (Owner and son) for doing what it takes to keep customers happy.😀

I just learned Sierra is closing down. They have some pretty good close out pricing right now, I just ordered some extra headsets to have on hand.

Me too

I do miss deer camp. There were 21 of us that spent 2-3 weeks at our 1866 farmhouse that we called 21 Club or the Luther Hilton. We all hunted our 1600 acre lease that consisted of swamp, farm fields and rolling hardwood forest. When I first joined the camp the deer were thick as flies on cow shit! You could count on there being a nice snow cover on the ground, being in the woods or swamp was beautiful. At least half the guys would have a buck hanging by dusk opening day. As the years went by the deer numbers fell and the oldtimers began passing, it was sad to lose so many that were like family. After 40 years leasing the property (we owned the house) the land owners put the property up for sale, it sold to 6 different owners that had much deeper pockets than we had. It was a sad day. I withdrew from the club when i was forced to hunt surrounding public land.
