Quickstep Posted June 4, 2012 #1 Posted June 4, 2012 The hips have arthritis, as do the neck and shoulders... too many years driving long haul trucks [45+yrs] The Venture was getting too heavy, so before any mishap I have changed bikes! A friend here wanted mine, and I wanted his...so we swapped I now ride an FJR Still consider myself a Venture rider, don't come in here much -- but I lurk LOL and get all the goings-on from Annie Stay safe everyone
Squidley Posted June 4, 2012 #2 Posted June 4, 2012 Your still riding brother, thats all that counts....enjoy the new ride
utadventure Posted June 4, 2012 #3 Posted June 4, 2012 Congrats on the new ride!! Always good to keep the rubber side down. Dave & Jan
Owen Posted June 4, 2012 #4 Posted June 4, 2012 You will love the FJR! I don't regret trading my RSV at all!
Aussie Annie Posted June 4, 2012 #5 Posted June 4, 2012 I used to ride an FJR... he was always taking her for a spin
Evan Posted June 4, 2012 #7 Posted June 4, 2012 Hard to keep them within the speed limit Quickstep. Enjoy your new ride. Hope it makes you smile for many more years.
Aussie Annie Posted June 5, 2012 #9 Posted June 5, 2012 the grin is still on his face. apparently the color was a limited addition. we've never seen another red one over here [He said thanks for the well wishes]
Owen Posted June 5, 2012 #10 Posted June 5, 2012 the grin is still on his face. apparently the color was a limited addition. we've never seen another red one over here [He said thanks for the well wishes] I was gonna' mention I had never seen a 1st Gen that color! I like it!
99silver Posted June 5, 2012 #11 Posted June 5, 2012 Alan, I have ridden one of those and I wore a big grin when returned. I like the red, don't think that color is available here.
DragonRider Posted June 5, 2012 #13 Posted June 5, 2012 Very nice bike Alan, I am also thinking of downsizing, but I will keep the Venture, I have had it too long and put too much blood sweat and tears into her, and I dont think anyone could appreciate her the way I do, so I will be selling the V Star 1300, dont need 2 touring cruisers, and will be getting something similar, really want a Kawi Concours, but will see whats available for what cash I have.
rowdy7 Posted June 5, 2012 #14 Posted June 5, 2012 Welcome to the club. Have you been able to wipe that smile off your face yet? Don't ask how I know this. I really am envious of that color.
