First trip in my "New" Venture

[wes0778]

Got a call from Mike (CMIKE) last night. Wanted to know if I were up for a ride today. I had been watching the weather call for rain all week, but lo and behold today they had miraculously dropped the forcast to less than 20%. So, lets go. He came by my house this morning and we cut out for Hattiesburg. I wanted to show off my stolen (at least that's what Squidley called it) Venture to some of my Harley and G/W riding co-workers. We had lunch, then showed off both Ventures (Silver IS the fastest and gets better fuel mileage too! )

Well where to next? Ever been the the Grand Canyon of Mississippi?

No, not until today, so we made the trip. Pictures don't do it justice, and no it is nowhere near as big as the "real thing" but it is a beautiful place and there are a few twisties to get there. One of my co-workers mentioned that MS587 is kinda curvey. I guess he has never been to the Smokies...

Around a 250 mile day for me and a bit more for Mike as he lives about 90 miles from me.

Not a bad first outing. Thanks for suggesting it Mike!!!

Now you know you were spec in my rearview mirror...the BLACK ones are always the fastest.

But I admit... you did beat me on gas mileage....Just wait till I sync your carbs...I will fix that.
