Hey you never know and Im quite proud of how it came out. Well in a sea of Harley There was this Yamaha. Customs and Stock class. I competed in the Stock class as all my changes are paint, graphics and bolt ons. All day I sat there and I was amazed at how much attention it got. Even the Models sought me out to get pictures on the bike. Well at the end of the day and lots of judging I took Best in the stock catagory. My first trophy!!! I was hoping for the trophy girls!!!

Chuckles Posted June 15, 2009 #8 Posted June 15, 2009 Congrats. Great looking bike and glad you decided to showcase something that is so heroic and brave as the fire fighters. Chuckles
Donnie1 Posted June 15, 2009 #10 Posted June 15, 2009 Congrats Scott. Great looking bike. What kind of passenger backrest is that? It looks like the arms are longer than stock.
SLOW HAND Posted June 15, 2009 #11 Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks for posting pics of the bike without the models , I was having trouble focusing. Really you would think wearing black with all that red they would hardly be noticed.
Freebird Posted June 15, 2009 #12 Posted June 15, 2009 Great job on the bike and I'm glad that others agreed. As for the models, I can look but I can't touch. My wife won't even let me date....she is VERY narrow minded about that.
WilCruise Posted June 15, 2009 #13 Posted June 15, 2009 Congrats Scotty, Looks great! The bike's pretty nice too
kenw Posted June 15, 2009 #14 Posted June 15, 2009 Congrats! You worked hard and deserve it!:thumbsup2::thumbsup2:
Tartan Terror Posted June 15, 2009 Author #15 Posted June 15, 2009 Congrats Scott. Great looking bike. What kind of passenger backrest is that? It looks like the arms are longer than stock. Thats the Corbin Backrest that goes with the seat. Keeps Jebbles from falling off when she falls asleep!! LOL
roadwarrior Posted June 15, 2009 #16 Posted June 15, 2009 That is one more beautiful bike!!!!!That model did it justice as well.
scooter45 Posted June 15, 2009 #17 Posted June 15, 2009 There was a bike in the photo? Great looking bike!!
Tom Posted June 15, 2009 #18 Posted June 15, 2009 Arent you glad you didnt buy that Harley now! For the first time since I had my Venture(New in 04) I was in Luchenbach the other day and It was the attention getter.(Mostly Harleys there ALWAYS)One Harley rider even said he wished Harley made a bike that big and he would look at one next time!
Stoutman Posted June 15, 2009 #19 Posted June 15, 2009 I gotta get me some of those accessories. Best non-chrome I've seen on a venture. Oh yea, the bike looked nice to.
saddlebum Posted June 15, 2009 #20 Posted June 15, 2009 Excellent looking machine. Congrats on the getting the attention of those great looking models . Hey bringing home a trophy didn't hurt either. :dancefool:
Yammer Dan Posted June 15, 2009 #21 Posted June 15, 2009 The Scoot looks Great!! If you took any of those girls home with you who are you leaving the Bike to?? I could force myself to ride something besides a 1st Gen just so you would know it was left to a good home!!
Tartan Terror Posted June 15, 2009 Author #23 Posted June 15, 2009 Arent you glad you didnt buy that Harley now! For the first time since I had my Venture(New in 04) I was in Luchenbach the other day and It was the attention getter.(Mostly Harleys there ALWAYS)One Harley rider even said he wished Harley made a bike that big and he would look at one next time! That leads to a funny story. Last night I took a ride to Port Jefferson which is a big bike hang out. Lots of people go there and people look at all the bikes and shop and such. Well I parked right on the main drag and a few minutes later a guy starts talking to me and tells me has the HD Firefighter Ultra classic. The bike I thought I wanted. Well he moved from his spot to a spot in my stall with my permission as you can have 2 bikes per stall. We talked for hours and took a few pics with both bikes parked next to each other. During the conversation he told me he had looked at the Venture but bought the HD. Still wishes he had bought the Venture but wanted a Firefighter bike. Very glad I made my decision because its dfinitly bigger and I like the red I chose much better also. Made a new friend too.
