Don sure thats not the new retro Venture 3rd Gen...........if not sounds like it ought to be.............

Absolutely friggin beautiful bike:thumbsup:, dang, can't believe your selling or sold it already, man I would have sold one of my bikes for that one......... And what about the power, come on give it up.............we want to know.........

I get choked up every time I hear the Star Spangled Banner, no matter where its performed.........Im an old softy too, doesnt take much to make me shed a tear...........

You really know how to push some buttons on us 1st Gen lovers, thats pretty darn low even for someone like you.............

George, I usually ride with my rear Avon at 45 lbs riding solo, and I have been getting great mileage out of them, my Venture still has the first Avons on them with about 7-8000 miles on them and still have plenty of tread and no signs of cupping, when riding double I up the pressure to 50...........running a higher pressure makes the ride a little harder but its better for the tire, doesn't let it cup. If I were you I would think about running a little more air in the rear since you are 2 up all the time and usually pretty well loaded down with camera and memory cards.............LOL, And by the way the pic of that bald spot in pic 4, looks like a retread is in order............

Eddie, will you and Big Mike be coming to Vogel this year, Hope you guys can make it, the last two times you made it you guys had to leaver early due to weather issues on your return, hope you get to hang around this time..........Seeing as you will have more time with that added truck on the road..........

HONEY and CINNAMON Cinnamon & Honey ~ I Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban'(very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.

It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.
