  8. Two years ago we decided to get back on a bike again and I picked up a 1984 Venture and now I have another setting next to it in the shed allmost ready to hit the road in the spring. As much as I like the ride of them its getting parts that has me looking for something newer to take the long rides on. And no I wont be parting with my Venture anytime soon way to much fun for our roads around here. So talking with Sharon about it she said no Harleys, and that is fine with me. It has came down to a newer Venture or a Vulcan has anyone here had both or rode both that will give me a honest opinion. Thanks Orlin
  9. Hello It sounds like the ride is going to take place the end of May so not to get into the same weekend as other rides. We are thinking of starting here at my place its out in the country and would be a easy start to the ride. Now for the ending point would it be better to have it just out side of town so is we can stay out of the city with all of the bikes. Would like to keep this safe as we can for all riders. I am going to leave up dates for Elizabeth up to Steve. Thanks Orlin
  10. All I can say is Thankyou for the help, I was told that when I joined and got to meet some of the people on here that its a place of more than friends but a place of family I am sure glad that I joined. We will be getting some updates on Thursday I will let you all know what we find out. And will work out a date and area for the ride. Thankyou Orlin
  11. Hello My Brother in Laws Daughter Elizabeth age 25 found out Sept 25 2011 that she has stage 4 lung cancer. They are going to have a benefit ride for her called Cancer Schmancer in the spring. The date has not been set yet but we are looking for information on doing a benefit ride the whats to do and the not to do. Both of us are new comers to the site less than a year for the both of us. My name is Orlin Engh and he goes by LTC Steve on the site. I got to meet some very nice people at the Leaf Lookers ride Steve didnt get to attend he very much wanted to get to meet some of the people. They do have a page on Face Book with information about what is going on for Elizabeth it is TEAM ELIZABETH. We are just getting into the planing of the ride so any information we can get will be welcomed. Thanks Orlin
  12. I let a good friend of mine take my 84 out for a ride he came back and said wow where can I get one.
  13. I plan on being there Thursday to help cut up some fire wood and I am hopeing to ride on Friday, We will be there Satarday for sure. Looking forward to meeting everyone that will be there. Orlin
  14. We went to Augusta Wisconsin and picked our new 1984 Venture do these cycles grow on people once they get one they have to get 2 or three. I wasnt sure just what to expect to see when I got there have been on my share of misinformed quests before but was very pleased when we got there, and what we found there is a treasure trove of parts for the first Generation Ventures I would say anything there would be for the 84s there are boxs of parts. I will be getting a complete list and pics of the parts. I told her I had joined this club and there is alot of good people. She lost her husband in June and is selling off all of the parts he had gotten over the years she is a very nice lady and it would be nice that she is treated the same. I will have some pics in a couple of days of the Venture and some more information as what all parts are there and prices. Have a great day Orlin
  15. I would be interested in doing something like this at my place. I have a 260ft by 74ft building that I have for the most part empty from May untill October. I do have some tools here and could get loan of some more for a weekend. We have a camping area that we have for Family and Friends if some would like to camp. Or just a summer get together and a ride around the area there are some great roads in the area. Orlin
  16. Hello I am in need of a set for my new project. I picked up 2 Ventures for parts one had been dumped and busted one side of the faring up not bad but more than a easy fix. I have been looking at it and thought it would be a waste to part it out if it ran so I put in some fresh gas oil and plugs and it started alittle more tunning and it runs great. So I took the faring off the other put on this one and took a test ride. Glad I gave it a chance to be on the road again but it is way to loud the guy I got it from did a real hack job on the mufflers. If I can find a pair of stock mufflers or some aftermarket ones that would finish it up except for its new coat of paint this winter. Thanks for any info. Orlin
  17. All I can say is go out and ride diffrent bikes and get what you like. I myself like to tinker so I like something that is still fun to work on. Orlin
  18. Hello I have been reading some of the posts on here and have also gotten alot of great info,I would like to say thanks to all. I ride a 1984 Venture and love it. I will get a pic of it on here soon. Also if any of you are in the Viroqua Wisconsin area feel free to look me up. I also have a small campground its rustic we do have out door toilets so if you need a place to camp and you are in the area there is no charge here. Just good company. Orlin Engh
