Met a gentleman on a Venture today

OK !,

You've heard this before but, I was making a delivery in Metamora, MI

today around lunch time and you guess it a venture pulled up sooo

I had to go talk to the driver. The man is 82 years old and had got this beautiful 88 Venture from a friend who was unable to ride anymore,

I ran outside for a quick look and it was sporting a new set of Avon Venoms. I had to ask why Avons and he told me he had them on his other bike at home and was really happy with them ( Kawasaki Nomad ) and he

proceeded to tell me he rebuilt the front end new seals Progressive springs

and synced the carbs ect. I told him about this site and who knows we just might see him on here.

 

How Cool,

Gary

Well you did do good, but I think the fantastic thing is that he is 82 years old.

This give me a lot of encouragement for the future.

Wow 82 , that gives me 40 more years of riding. How great would that be ?

[Eck]

[Mariner Fan]

[Rattlesnake]

Ya sure it wasn't old Hip out for a ride.

[SilvrT]

I'll be even more impressed if he has a computer an knows how to use it!

[99silver]

I was impressed, he did a nice job on all the upgrades which leads me to

believe he can use a computer. I just hope he can type faster than me.

And Eddie that would give me 30 years WOO HOOOO !!!

Hey Eck, He may be related to Redneck cause he was way over 6 foot tall. A legend in my mind, I'll keep a look out for him.
