Got to meet member VideoArizona today - Great Visit!

[VanRiver]

I had the real honour of meeting member @videoarizona today....my new buddy and "Venture Technical Advisor". Thanks Dave for taking the time to stop and have lunch with me today (and for picking up the tab - the next meal is on me!!!!) Thanks for bringing Pat along too, she is one special lady!

 

I have had the great pleasure of meeting 2 fellow members face to face this year so far (Ray in Toronto and Dave in Phoenix). I see a common trend in all my "meet and greets" thus far with forum members.....they are all Awesome, Friendly, and Incredibly nice people!!!!!! I think this is the best motorcycle "gang" anyone could be a member of!

 

Mr. @videoarizona, thanks for the advice for getting my bike "AZZI" running better, and hopefully AZZI will get a chance to meet your bike next time we meet. By the way @cowpuc, your name and adventures came up several times during our lunch meeting. I found out that Dave's Venture is currently living without a name of her own. I mentioned that you are the best gosh darn motorcycle namer around these parts, and that it was a crime for a beautiful Blue 89 Venture likes Dave's to be nameless. You might want to float some expert name ideas his way!

 

Thanks again Dave and Pat, it was so great to meet you finally in person! Here are a few pics from our visit today.

 

 

A Selfie is also mandatory for all Meet and Eat sessions! (I'm the bald guy sneaking in on the left side)

Good post and truer words were never spoken (typed in this case) { forum members.....they are all Awesome, Friendly, and Incredibly nice people!!!!!! I think this is the best motorcycle "gang" anyone could be a member of!}!

 

Only question I now have is... who is who in the pics??

[cowpuc]

HEYYY ,,,, I want to be out there in that sunshine!! I kinda thought my tender little ears were ringing and were the other day,, just knew I was in some kind of trouble!!

BEAUTIFUL PICS AND AWESOME TRAIL TALE THERE RIV!!! :clap2::dancefool: I absolutely LOVE when times like those happen my friend - it's what life is all about!! Congrats to you 3 for taking a second and getting together - way cool!!

I think I got the names for each picture figured out, "I'm the bald guy" VanRiver on the left, pretty Pat in the middle and that sunshine loving VideoAZ on the right - a more likely bunch of good hearted VR lop eared varmints there has never been.. The question I have is who's MK2 is in the 1st pic? I learned my colors back in kindergarten and, if memory serves me correctly - that aint Blue:hurts:.. Is that AZZI or did you guys just happen to find a Venture parked in a parking lot somewhere and stop to have your pictures taken by it:hihi:? ,, kind of a novel idea - just drive around looking for cool bikes to take pictures of your friends next to ..

Glad that varmint Dave was able to give you some fine tuning info on AZZI Riv - got my that by you two having the chance to bump your heads together AZZI comes out a fine running scoot!!

 

A name for David's gorgeous Blue 1st Gen,,, ,,, hmmmmm,,,,, in the Lakota language "Blue Friend" is spelled To Cola - Tocola nick named to "Cole" would be awesome.. Everyone needs a true Blue friend like a Blue 1st Gen named Cole..

Hi @SilvrT....So Sorry for not being clearer and putting names to faces, but @cowpuc nailed it......I'm the good looking "follicle challenged" guy on the Left......the lovely and charming lady in the middle is Pat...and the "Silver Haired Fox" on the right is Dave.

 

Hey @cowpuc.....that is no random Venture in a parking lot! That is of course "AZZI"! Although she is still kinda sick and only running on 3 cylinders right now, she is still pretty and loves to pose for pictures! With Dave's brains and my good looks I'm pretty sure we can get her feeling better again and running on all 4 cylinders, and stop her from dropping tears of 15w-40 like she is now! Unfortunately my AZ Easter vacation is over, and I'm back to the regular grind up here in Canada....AZZI will now have to wait until July for more medical attention.
