My bike is the 83 Venture I am just saying your gonna have heat on anything and our V-4s are no exception to this rule.. I believe its a 74CI, Engine heat isn't a problem but to add to hot pavement and the engine heat rising...

Ran sum errands only bad thing, I can't put the cover on and it rained before I could make room in garage. So she got a little wet.. Also after the deluge of rain I rode thru yesterday I will say anything under 45 bites. Btw furniture polish makes a great Rainx! Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

Yeah well I took shower this morning my 72 hrs was up and boy was I glad. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

One more thing today no wind blowing and I felt the heat of the motor on both legs... I love our V-4s I also love the rumble of a Vtwin... I get ppl are taken back because the engine we know and love is not on the new bike. So what, they both have power we know and love just at different rpms is all. After spending a lot of time on different bikes and on pj your going to have engine heat your gonna experience different things! Do we need the same ol same ol. People get bored with same thing after awhile. Yamaha seen where the market was. People wanted a new touring bike with a twist from a VTWIN only time will tell how long the Twin will hold up but have heard between 100,000 to just over 200,000 it really depends who is behind the controls, and how well its taken care of. Just my opinion I still want to ride one but can careless about heat and rpms! I want to crack the throttle and feel the power. It may not pop a wheelie if I wanted that I go play on a smaller bike! Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

I will ad today in stop and go traffic I was sweating like a pig on a hot July day and mind you I was on a WATER COOLED V-4 1200CC... It was 81°F and sunny. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

This is sounding more and more like a V-8 versus V-6 debate... Or maybe 6 cylinder diesel vs V-10 titan... Just MHO Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

That is supposed to go between your headlight in the grill... Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

I shouldn't have been riding but I needed a cigarette .. I deserved it plus look at it this way I got my shower b4 tomorrow[emoji23][emoji23] P.S. not actual cigarette as being on the back of the bike the oxygen flying in my face is the cigarette. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

I rode her hard and put her away wet[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I was enjoying the ride to then it rained buckets. My son got the worse part of the deal as he don't have fairings on his bike so right now my riding shoes are soaked. Ok I loved riding in the rain but did stop under an overpass for shelter. Till it let up some. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

I still think of Smokey and the bandit it looks crafted after the trans-am front to back Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

Me too I will battle it out in a quarter mile with one. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

I lost my 32 and safety glasses to road destruction last year. Hit the pothole I didn't see it till last second nothing I could do my glasses fell off and the drink went splash on the road. It kinda just tilted over to the outside of the bike. My littlest one wore the glasses till about a week ago. When they gave up the ghost. The truck that was behind me ran them over and then a car I picked them up after I turned around hoping to get them before someone ran them over. I only paid 20 for them but wow to take that and just have a few scratches and a tweaked frame you bet I picked them up and took them home. There is nothing like daddy daughter time for that matter any father kid time. Those are where the best memories can be made. Now the funniest things said to. Come home after surgery and lil wrench ask did they pop your eye out? You need a hook and black eye patch and you can be a pirate![emoji23][emoji23] then 2 weeks ago he says dad why you got grey hair is it because of Essei? [emoji23] so I pause and ask why would you say such a thing he hasn't been around long enuff for me to get grey hairs yet, you kids gave me these![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Never ride faster then your angel can fly.

My most successful build was from a kit then I tweaked it. Last week we lost a foot of chain so guess chain only last 4,000 miles[emoji23][emoji23] pretty good for a Chinese motor kit i think. I am no longer sure of miles as I got a new phone and my son started using it to go to work now he has this. P.S. Sorry for hijack P.S.S. nah not really it happens[emoji23][emoji23] Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

Hoping to catch him on the road. I am not sure if its the 83s name but the guy who has owns it has been out chasing front wheel. So Tyler what did you name your bike? If you do that sort of thing. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

Man I don't mind dumping cold on myself but I would tame the scalding coffee down that way the worst that will happen is if you dump it you may need to change if ya know what I mean. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] tinker is begging to go somewhere today but doc says a week but I do have goggles sort of there the riding glasses with foam around them to help keep air out. Eye is a little out of focus still but I can see clearly now the rain is gone its gonna be a bright sun shiny day with nothing but blue skies![emoji16] odd thing tho is I can't swim for a month but can take a bath come Thursday morning at 10 a.m. someone explain that. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

Your actually the one that reminded me and rewarned me about it a year or so back. I believe when I asked about your cup holder. Because it looked like you had a big gulp cup in yours. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

I don't know about you all but that is a wee bit too solid for my liking I use foam in my cup holders. And I have lost a 32oz and 20oz cup sure glad they squash easy. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.

Crap I'm in trouble because I'm already looking for a hybrid. I want a bike I can have both on and off road.. Btw drill motors don't make good bicycle motors at least the way I tried. It could have been bad set up but I got 2 mph out of what I thought should have been 50mph. Well I was young Anywhos and my mini bike 3 wheeler and go cart were all down. Found out someone grounded them... I fixed em but points in my honda trail was out.. Never got to ride it again. Also really eyeing the yamaha 650 customs around me and actually thinking a roady... O and thinking about building an adventure bike with frame I build. Not exactly sure where to start. I love tinker and really like this nighthawk but want the 750... Plus the 450 is my sons but starting to wish I didn't open my mouth but... Nothing like riding bikes with my son. This is his first real bike that he has been able to ride and use the clutch on. Right now he getting about 30 mpg on it tho lol. He learning. The closest thing he has ridden was them Murphy 5 hp minibikes. You know the ones with the centrifugal clutch and you twist and go.

Well I'm hoping I read everything right I am trying to catch up since I'm in the penalty box by Dr orders. I did however drive earlier needed to go to store. I'm glad he is doing better and hopefully they won't have to remove anything else and he is done. Never ride faster then your angel can fly. I am as free as the wind on my face.
