Our site has really declined over the past few years. I think it's a combination of some of our ,members simply aging out and the fact that Facebook has taken over a lot of this type site. After much consideration, I have made a big decision in an effort to keep this place going. I have promoted all current subscribing members to Lifetime Members. That means that you will no longer have to pay. My way of thanking you all for the years of support. NOTE: I THINK you all need to go to you PayPal account and cancel your membership there if you have it set to auto renew. I can't do that from buy end. There will still her a one time membership of 12.00 for any new ,members. This ix just an attempt to dissuade spammers from joining. I also extend this offer to any of our old members who have let their memberships expire. If you are one of those,,. Just send ,e a message and I will reinstate you.

I was just curious who is around here still and riding their 1983 - 1993 Ventures. I am still riding my 89 VR and hope to put on a lot of miles this coming season up here in Minnesota. Last season I ended up having to repair the right half of my fairing as it became real brittle and was breaking everywhere on it. I was lucky as I have a motorcycle junk yard close by, Sport Wheel in Jordan, Mn, and they have a lot of first gen Ventures in the yard. I was able to pickup a right half with the same color combo as my 89 and it only needed few repairs to make it 100%. So I was able to cast pieces off or other fairing components with PLASTEX Plastic Repair Kits, https://plastex.net/ , to graft on pieces or make molds of pieces. Just a side note, I learned about this company form the forum here years ago. Now the fairing is solid and doesnt move as I hit bumps or holes. So I am hoping for a nice ling season of riding here in the upper midwest. Let us know what you have done lately to your Venture and what you are hoping for this summer. Rick F.

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

If we leave the 12.00 going is still goes to you correct? Letting it continue is much easier than trying to figure out how to stop it.
