Guest Dandy1 Posted November 6, 2008 #1 Posted November 6, 2008 After a lot of thought and consideration I have traded the Venture for a new Yamaha Rhino. Loved the Venture but the wife has kind of lost interest in riding this year. We only took 1 short trip to Eureka Springs, I think it has something to do with the grandkids. If I can I will get another bike to ride to work next spring but it won't be a touring bike, I'm getting old would like something alittle lighter. Anyway I wanted to say there are a bunch of nice folks and a lot of valuable information on this web site. I have learned a bunch from you'all and enjoyed meeting some of you at the Eureka Springs Rallys. Now if I can just find such a good web site for the Rhino I will be happy. So long and ride safe!

Venturous Randy Posted November 6, 2008 #2 Posted November 6, 2008 Just remember, just because you no longer have a Venture does not mean you are not welcome to be part of this site. Keep in touch. RandyA
Tom Posted November 6, 2008 #3 Posted November 6, 2008 Ditto,Dont just leave us..Heck we may learn something about the Rhino..Keep us informed! Tom
Ponch Posted November 6, 2008 #4 Posted November 6, 2008 Was nice to meet you. Hopefully you'll stay on the board. We'll still come see you guys when up that way. You're welcome here as well. Ponch & LilBit
Guest Dandy1 Posted November 6, 2008 #5 Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks, Ill see whats going on from time to time. If I get another bike in the spring I may see you at the 2009 rally. If you get out this way stop in!
royalstarjac Posted November 6, 2008 #6 Posted November 6, 2008 Be carefull on that rhino. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,447825,00.html
mini-muffin Posted November 6, 2008 #7 Posted November 6, 2008 Hey just cause you got a rhino doesn't mean you can leave. You must have missed the small print when you signed on, you can't leave. This is more then just a bike group this is a family. Stick around. Margaret
PBJ Posted November 6, 2008 #8 Posted November 6, 2008 Yamaha makes some nice smaller V Twins like the Roadstar 650 and 1100 then too theres the new Yamaha 500 scooter thats more like a touriong rig than a scooter, It even has automatic transmission. Like Mini said you don'tr have to leave based on being a Venture owner. Being a Venture owner is like being a world war II fighter pilot , just because you don't fly anymore doesn't mean yopu aren't a pilot.
Yammer Dan Posted November 6, 2008 #9 Posted November 6, 2008 What they said. Stick around we might need to know something about a Rhino!!
Snarley Bill Posted November 6, 2008 #10 Posted November 6, 2008 Thanks, Ill see whats going on from time to time. If I get another bike in the spring I may see you at the 2009 rally.

Danny & Cyndi I have the Rhino 660, 2006 have any questions just ask me. I hang out here too http://utilityoffroad.com/forum/ my username is same "Frogmaster". I LOVE BOTH
Kurt Posted November 7, 2008 #12 Posted November 7, 2008 I also have a 2006 Rhino 660. I find it to be a very good off road machine. As Frogmaster said ask any questions. And a thank you to the Frogmaster for a lead to another forum to check out. I have changed the cdi box and installed the Grizzly sheave mod which makes the Rhino cruise really nice at 45-46 mph. I have also installed Maxxis Bighorn tires on Maxxis 4x4 wheels which have 1 inch more offset. With the offset rims and Bighorn 6 ply radials the Rhino has improved stability. I feel that it is a great machine and safety is at least in part in the hands of the operator. A winch is a good option. Enjoy the Rhino.
frogmaster Posted November 7, 2008 #13 Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a 5 gallon bucket multiple tool holder about $12.00. Cut it in Half and add to the center cowling and passenger firewall area. Best thing I ever did to my Rhino. Thinking how I can add to my RSV LOL Edited November 7, 2008 by frogmaster
