Yammer Dan Posted January 26, 2011 #1 Posted January 26, 2011 Can't see it!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Moto-antique-Yamaha-Venture-Vintage-1984-touring-/180616846319?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_210&hash=item2a0d9a5bef
CaptainJoe Posted January 26, 2011 #3 Posted January 26, 2011 That venture reminded me more of a Honda Goldwing... Maybe it's that banana yellow? Ya think Honda copied ? Or, which came first, the venture or the goldwing...? Which brings me to another observation. How come the only smilie/picture we have of a first gen, is one that is being towed ?
kj5ix Posted January 26, 2011 #4 Posted January 26, 2011 Dang !!! There goes the uniqueness,,,,,,,, that makes three now. Two in Canada, and mine down here... but the other one and mine are 2nd Gen...

HEY...that was done as a warm tribute to our very own Black Owl.
CaptainJoe Posted January 26, 2011 #6 Posted January 26, 2011 Thats ok Freebird I kinda like that Smilie... No ill will intended...
Sylvester Posted January 26, 2011 #7 Posted January 26, 2011 Yep, looks like a vintage school bus sans children.
Condor Posted January 26, 2011 #8 Posted January 26, 2011 We had a member from the Carson City/Reno area do his in Canary Yellow. I haven't seen anything from him in a while so he's probably moved on. I didn't find him listed in the member list either. Did a great job bringing an old girl back to life....
Flyinfool Posted January 26, 2011 #9 Posted January 26, 2011 DANG!! I was seriously considering painting mine a very bright yellow. I wanted bright yellow and black trim with NO CHROME on anything. I LIKE IT!!! That looks great. I just wish it was a better picture.
CaptainJoe Posted January 26, 2011 #10 Posted January 26, 2011 Flyinfool, them thar would be STEELERS colors! Perhaps that guy was a fan?
Dano Posted January 26, 2011 #11 Posted January 26, 2011 I think I would be leery of buying anything from ASBESTOS, BC! Might need some special clothing to ride it!
