Did a 1,000 mile ride over Memorial Day weekend to Rolling Thunder with some military buddies. We rode through West Virginia mountains, back country roads, and a thunder run back to Columbus, Ohio on Monday. We had one hell of a collection of bikes to include Harleys (Willie G's all to way to Electroglides), a Concourse, a Road Star, a Victory Vegas, and a Valkyre. At every fuel stop, the other riders dismounted and commenced to griping about stiff parts and sore butts. Not me!
The 2007 Venture handled all the riding conditions with class. Once I decided not to try to hang with the Concourse on the tight mountain turns in WV, my ride was perfect. Moreover, I felt that I could have ridden all day. A short rain shower - no issue. Others were soaked, my bike kept me dry in spite of not stopping to put on the rain gear. Accelerating up steep climbs - no issue! 80 mph on Route 70 - too easy!
I love this bike!!!
