Not one, but TWO!!!

Hey guys just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back online and that I've been pretty busy since my last post. I've got most of my issues solved on my 88 and thanks to the rain I just now crossed over 2k miles since the accident. I'm really happy with how the bike rides, how it runs, how it looks, how it sounds and how unique I truly feel on it when I ride with my friends. (A black 1200 sportster and a black 750 shadow, cant really tell them apart ) I'm a big guy, and for what my friends say is a big bike, I truly do feel like this bike was MADE FOR ME!!!

 

Anyways for memorial day Jon, Matt, and I headed out on the scoots towards Pilger, NE where we stopped and had a chat with some friends. His wife asked if I ride around pilger all the time and I told her yeah I go there pretty frequently since the tornado last year. She said she remembered my bike, but I don't think she does because I've only ridden there once on the 88, I went there a lot more on the 99 After that we headed north into Wayne and continued on toward Laurel. My friend stopped for gas (because that's the only town in the area with premium ((which I think is the biggest setback about most V-Twins))) and headed toward Randolph to meet with my dad who conveniently wasn't home. From there we rode into Osmond and stopped at Jon's Dad's house and had some super refreshing Ice Water. As we were riding through Osmond I noticed two old Lime Green dirt bikes sitting outside of a garage. Naturally I couldn't help but steer in that direction and take a nice long peek at the old bikes. I got past their house and pulled a U-ey and as I was headed back toward the bikes from the other way my attention was suddenly drawn to a nice, cool 83 Venture sitting in there garage. It was the maroonish one, the first one I've ever seen personally. I pulled up on my Venture, killed the engine and told them they had a hell of a sharp bike in their garage. We talked for a little while about our Ventures and about the two old dirt bikes. I don't remember what model they were, but they were both 1968 somethings that had consecutive vin numbers which I thought was cool. We finished our Memorial Day journey after that by taking the back road into Norfolk. We had clocked about 115 fun filled miles and generally had a great time. Plus who doesn't love seeing another Venture. And then yesterday driving through town in my pickup I noticed a 2 tone black MKII Venture riding through Norfolk two up. I tried to catch up to talk to them, but traffic didn't really allow. Either way I thought two 1st Gens in 2 days, maybe I'm not riding such a unique bike!

This year it seems that no matter where I go I see at least one Venture. As often as I can I talk to the rider (first question of course being "are you on VR.org?")
