JerryK Posted November 25, 2008 #1 Posted November 25, 2008 I'm new here and on board now with Don's help. I have 2003 Midnight Venture now after 2000 red venture was totaled Halloween night 2005. It had 86K on it and would have easily went 200k I think. I bought this Midnight used....it original owner was a good guy I've got to know from Chatanooga Tn. [Cliff Herbert] He's head of Yamaha Marine testing in that area of Tn. I bought this one March of 2006 with 7250 miles on it now it's 52k and climbing. I have a cool 650 V-star Classic hot rod that I love too. I'm 60 yr old and I'm old Yamaha MX rider from 1969-1973. Always liked my JAP bikes and have had Goldwings and others along the way. I ride lots and have plenty of storys and tech experience. I :Venture:was telling Don that I run Avon Venoms and get great Mileage and handling with them...I ran Dunlops,Metzler 880's,and now love the Avons. Will be glad to see what's going on here. Jerryk

eazyduzzit Posted November 25, 2008 #8 Posted November 25, 2008 Hey Jerry, welcome aboard... I'm pretty new here too. I like the Midnight Ventures. I think they're the prettiest Venture out there.
Ozark Posted November 27, 2008 #9 Posted November 27, 2008 Welcome aboard Jerry. Jump in and have some fun. Relax, Enjoy, and don't take anybody too seriously. Mostly just a bunch of crazy guys and gals who tell tall tale, poke fun at each other and their rides, pray for others in need, and like to eat. By the way, did I mention we like to eat? CAUTION: Watch out for the Moderators, they're pretty scary people!!! :rotf:
