99silver Posted October 30, 2007 #1 Posted October 30, 2007 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
Eck Posted October 31, 2007 #2 Posted October 31, 2007 Ya did good!! We need some more family members..!!!
Yama Mama Posted October 31, 2007 #3 Posted October 31, 2007 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. Peggy:smile11:
Eddie Posted October 31, 2007 #4 Posted October 31, 2007 Wow 82 , that gives me 40 more years of riding. How great would that be ?
Rattlesnake Posted October 31, 2007 #7 Posted October 31, 2007 Ya sure it wasn't old Hip out for a ride.
SilvrT Posted October 31, 2007 #8 Posted October 31, 2007 I'll be even more impressed if he has a computer an knows how to use it!
99silver Posted November 1, 2007 Author #9 Posted November 1, 2007 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 !!! Gary
99silver Posted November 1, 2007 Author #10 Posted November 1, 2007 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. Gary
hipshot Posted November 1, 2007 #11 Posted November 1, 2007 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. Gary if he was cordial, and friendly, then he couldn't possibly be related to "redneck"!!!! we all know , that mike is a cantankerous old fart, who hasn't realized , that he is an OLD FART!!! :stirthepot: just jt
