Hey just joined the board, Wanted to introduce myself and give a little history. I have just inherited my fathers 2007 venture. He is pushing 70 and also has a Goldwing trike. Due to a new diagnosis of parkinsons he is finding it difficult at times to hold up his big Venture so he has decided to give it to me. In the past I have owned a 99 Buell S3T. Got rid of it because of the amount of time I spent working on it and the increasing difficulty to find parts. Im somewhat familiar with the the Venture. I have been on a few rides with my dad when he rode the Venture primarily. I know all the stats, ive read some reviews, and taken a few short rides on the bike myself. I live in virginia and my dad is in Texas. Was planning on going down this summer and riding the bike back to virginia this summer.
I was planning on buying a Raider initially as a cummuter bike but if my wife enjoys touring on the venture then I will definately be keeping it. She likes road trips but has never rally been on bikes much.
My dad has put about 120,000 on the bike and it still runs great. He has alot of memories on the bike and Im hoping to create alot more as well.
I guess this should have gone in the other section but didnt see it until after the fact.
