OrlinEngh Posted April 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2014 I went and picked the 84 Venture today that I brought back from a parts bike a few years ago. I had sold it to my brother in law just after I had gotten it done. Well he got him a 2nd gen last fall and decided to sell it back to me, so now I am back in the saddle of a 1st gen again, got it home today charged the battery up and took it for a short ride can hardly wait to get out on the road and open her up. 50s tomarrow just maybe a good day to go and have some fun.

Flyinfool Posted April 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 17, 2014 Cool, does that mean I do not have to pull a spark plug wire to stay behind you on the MD ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrlinEngh Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted April 17, 2014 Rick no getting rid of the 2000 for a long long time cant even think of such a thought, Sharon talked me into getting the 1st gen, it didnt take much but she did. And no talk of a new pup with this one either. Jeff That 2nd gen has good power too you better make sure that 1st gen is tuned and ready to keep up:stirthepot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
