I'm still riding the Venture but going to look at a Can Am Spyder Sunday for making trips with the wife. I'm planning a trip to the Northeast states soon with the Venture. I need 7 states to get all of the lower 48 on a motorcycle and I don't want to count any of them on a Trike. I don't want to stop riding just cause I've gotten old...☹️

I checked Ebay and there were some Venture parts on there. Crash bars and cowling parts. Good luck finding what you need.

Hello Venture friends. I only got one short ride in last year, on November 19th, and broke my ankle that same day. It has rained so much this spring that I didn't try to ride until this week. I got 180 miles in on 2 different days and they were great rides, BUT I realized yesterday that I am going to have to go to a trike instead of the Venture. Between the back surgery and arthritis in my hips, it is a real struggle to manage the heavy weight of the Venture. I do ok when I get moving but getting on and off and moving around in tight places is very hard. I will be asking for advice or suggestions on different rides to check out. I want to stay with a touring ride, so a Goldwing trike looks good, but I am going to look at a Cam Am Spyder as well. Good luck to all. Steve.

I checked eBay and found several sets of Venture handlebars. I used 2 inch Riser extensions to get mine to set back farther. That may be an option for you if you can find a set of Flanders.

I have always Run Metzlers on my Ventures and generally got around 20 to 22,000 miles out of them. The rear tires I may get 11,000 if I make sure I keep them inflated properly.

My local Yamaha dealer orders my Metzlers for me. I run the 888s with good luck and just replaced the front one last week.

Happy Birthday Freebird. I pray you have a wonderful day and many more to follow.

Yep. its too cold and way too much snow to ride in Western Kentucky. I have headed for Daytona at 28 degrees, but the high today is 22 with snow everywhere. So, I will wait a couple of weeks before I brave a ride.

Hauling 1984 Venture Royal on 8ft trailer. How?
Steve S replied to Snaggletooth's topic in Watering Hole
If the trailer is well built it should handle the Venture well. I have hauled mine on a 10 foot trailer without any problems. Actually I have hauled 2 Ventures on this trailer. If you don't have a front wheel chock, you may want to put a couple of 2X4s on each side of the front tire when you load the bike. I have Condor Chocks I use for hauling mine. -
Good morning Venture Riders. It's a brisk sunny 9 degrees in Hopkinsville Kentucky this morning. I do believe it would be a wonderful idea to fire the bike up and go for a ride. Oh WAIT, I still have a broken ankle, and I can't ride yet. 😢 I guess I will have to wait a few more weeks so I can put my boots on and ride. 😁

Oh yes. I've been over it several times and under it a few times.

Hello VentureRiders. It's been snowing in Western Kentucky most of the day. It got pretty heavy after lunch for a few hours, but it's about stopped. We may have 3 inches around my house. What's happening in your town?
-
Happy New Year to all of my Venture Rider friends.

I'm sorry but it's not. Everything has been disposed of.

It's been a wonderful day kicked back in the recliner with my foot propped up on pillows while my beautiful wife made a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner for us. I pray everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Ronnie check out the pictures I posted on My Ride post.
