Maybe you can buy a snow plow attachment for the front and a plow box for the rear. You will be all set for doing side walks this winter.

 

But one thing I do gotta know when you road tested one did you check out how well it could

 

 

do U_TURNS. :rotfl:

Order is in, and with any luck at all will be on the road on Monday.

It's a 2014, RT-S SM6, Cognac with a trailer hitch.

So that makes it 3 wheels, 1330 power plant, 120 amp power supply, cruise, radio, true reverse, push out the front heat relief, 2 rads, 6 speed manual, light package,,, must I go on.

Ya, it's a lot of bucks, but I thought now that they come out with a real machine,, 3 cyl, 115hp, why wait. The 85 is still in really nice shape and I'm not getting any younger,,, yet!!!

Marca has a bit of an issue with her knee and back so climbing on the Spyder is easier than on the 2 wheels, and I don't mind having one either. Gonna take a little getting used to, but hey, that will come.

Still gonna wear the regular glasses, helmet, gear,,,,,,, and so on, so you will able to recognize me,, but not for long, this baby moves out!!!!

Hey Don't be using Marca as an excuse. The truth is Karl's memory has been fading. Lets face it how many times lately have you parked the bike with the kick stand up and rode it with the kick stand down. You bought this thing to eliminate the kick stand.

It will corner much faster before turning over.

 

now that IS funny ! I guess that comes from an experienced trike rider ?

[relic]

Congradulations Carl. Enjoy it to the fullest and Dianne loves the colour.

[Marcarl]

To be perfectly honest, we didn't test ride the 2014, but did spend a day on one from Pioneer Motorsports a couple of years ago. At that point we decided that we liked the Venture much better and had no real reason to change,,,yet. But as time wears on I felt it was time to make the jump. The 2014 is a different machine, and yes we did do a u-turn on it,, it's the only thing we did actually,,, the barn yard will just have to wait.

I WILL MISS THE VENTURE,,, I DO ALREADY!!!!

So there is an awesome 85 for sale, let me know if you are interested.

[sleepy2]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it. Plus it will be MUCH easier to do U-TURNS as you don't have to worry about falling over if wheel is turned too far.

[Huggy]

Soooooo........... When are you bringing it down????? And I think you should GIVE me the 85 Venture!!!! That way you wont have to keep paying me to be your friend!!!!! :rotf:

Too bad Canadian insurance is such a rip off or I would be suggesting keeping the venture for those times when you are riding solo JMHO.

Congrats on the new ride.

don't worry Carl, if you get bored I can bring my bike down for an overhaul!

 

I need floats set up, valves adjusted, etc...etc

[dogman]

Congratulations. Money is only money. If you are happy then it is well spent. Life is to be enjoyed. People, food and excitement. I'm proud of you. Im sure you have been thinking about it for a while.

[Marcarl]

I have an 85 that has the carbs done, valves set, second gear fixed, valve gaskets, all wheels bearings, swing arm bearings, steering head bearings, progressive springs, good rubber and brake pads, splines greased, oil changed, lots of fancy stuff,,,,, hey, it may be cheaper to buy Scamper than to rebuild the one you got!!:happy65:

[Yammer Dan]

That 85 is a nice ride. CONGRATS Carl. Sure is different.

[Huggy]

Which dealer did you buy it from??????

[Carbon_One]

Another third wheel convert. Welcome Carl and love that color choice too. Wouldn't mind owning one of the new 2014 touring models either . Nice machines.

Larry

[Marcarl]

Bought at Lockhart Odessey in Courtland.

[Caveman]

NICE...REAL NICE!

[Aussie Annie]

Congratulations you two....... Have fun (love the color)

[Huggy]

I think we should all sign it at Carl's VentuerIn. But can he still call it that? Perhaps Marcarl's SpyderIn is more appropriate. Or Marcarl's What Ever You Ridein! :stickpoke:Or Marcarl's I'm Lonly and need CompanyIn?

[eusa1]

You could take the maiden voyage to b2mom's in Tennessee next weekend??

Now that you've brought that up, I've been thinking about just that,, and I'm thinking Marcarl's InvitationIn.

 

 

Have you got your invitation yet???

[Huggy]

I'd come EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T send me one!!!!

[Marcarl]

I'd come EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T send me one!!!!

And hey.... I'm Dutch,,, well dutch decent,,, so where I can save, I scrimp,,, so you wouldn't get one!

[Jayceesfolly]

Hey Carl:

 

Congratulations on your purchase of new scoot. I really like that color. You should call it "The Copper Penny" or "Koper Stuiver in Dutch.[/url]
