Anybody recognize this bike ?

Hi all,

 

Just picked up this 1989 Venture and realized that this custom paint job has some specific meaning to somebody. Just wondering if it once belonged to a member here. The trunk has a great eagle painted on it and on each side of the eagle, as shown below, there are two little scarecrow characters. the left on with a 90 and the right side has a 91 and Vdaze painted across. Looks like some type of ride/gathering. So..anybody recognize the eagle and the scarecrows ?

The logo behind the eagle looks like the other venture site

scarecrow is the name of the pinstriper that has done alot of bike work in the Illinois area. that is his signature that he puts on all his work.

 

go to his site and you will find that eagle on many of his works. he does a fantastic job

This bike was originally owned by one of the members of the first Venture Owners Group, the Venture Touring Society (later to become the MTA in 96 after Yamaha dropped the Venture in 94). And the striping was done by Scare Crow at V-Daze in Sault Ste Marie in 91, Michigan. It looks very familiar, but I don't recognize the owner. Dave Henderson and I owned Tri-Star Industries and were vendors that year.

Thanks for the information guys. Just thought if the owner was around here I could get a little history on the bike.
