eagleeye Posted April 28, 2016 #51 Posted April 28, 2016 A new bike is always exciting, or at least it should be. It'll be great to have it at home I'll bet, and have a safe ride. Don't forget the rain suit.
cowpuc Posted April 28, 2016 #52 Posted April 28, 2016 OUTSTANDING Mr. Bossman!!!:clap2::dancefool: Prayers Up and Blessings Down as you travel the road of bringing home yet another AWESOME new scoot!! I got Fool all hog tied and his White Wash Machine unplugged so at least you shouldnt need snow tires:hurts:. I was up at 5:30am and thought there were a few snowflakes mixed in with the rain drops falling here. Headed south like you are and running a day later when you chase down that pretty black 2nd Gen with the white walls you should be in good shape as far as anything else being white. I share in your excitement Boss, thank you for including us in all the excitement brother!! WHAT A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ride safe my friend! Puc
SilvrT Posted April 28, 2016 #53 Posted April 28, 2016 Really kind of excited about it. NOOOO..... really? One would never know ...
saddlebum Posted April 29, 2016 #54 Posted April 29, 2016 So Don, now that your back on a venture, does that mean everybody you gave away your venture stuff to has to give it all back now?
Freebird Posted April 29, 2016 Author #55 Posted April 29, 2016 LOL...I still have most of it. Lift adapter, Carbtune, manual....I'm in pretty good shape.
cecdoo Posted April 29, 2016 #56 Posted April 29, 2016 Hope the weather holds out for ya and you have a safe and enjoyable trip!! Enjoy the new ride!! Craig
Marcarl Posted April 29, 2016 #57 Posted April 29, 2016 Guess the boss must be on his way,,,, hey,,, the day has started and he can't wait. Maybe those WW won't be so white after the first ride eh? Congrats Boss and welcome home.
cowpuc Posted April 29, 2016 #58 Posted April 29, 2016 Brrrrr,,, just stepped out of the confines of our little nest and noticed a snow flake working its way down and instantly thought of my buddy out there chasing down another gorgeous scoot. Brother, I wish I was there with ya cause I would gladly share the joy of testing that Russel seat and spinning those WW's back to Oberlin if your fingers need a break!! Prayers Up that its warmer down yonder and your ride home is outstanding!! As for you, you gorgeous hunk of 2nd Gen Yamaha machinery - welcome to your new home and into the hands of the Master and Company. You are gonna LOVE it here!! You will never have to worry again about some $5 an hour untrained shop kid putting your rectifier in backwards and frying your circuitry. You are back home into the hands of the expert who, with his 100's of like minded Venture riding family members, know your heart better than even Mother Yamaha herself. We know your gonna be feeling a little like the prodigal son for a while and that is ok, it wont take long and you will realize just how much your loved. One of the things some of us in your new family like to do to welcome new Venture's back into the fold is to share in name giving. Because your new owner is not necessarily of that mindset, that order of business will have to fall unto the shoulders of some of the rest of us. Being of that mindset, I would like to contribute the name of "PD" (short for Prodigal) into the mix of names you might be offered. I do not offer this name lightly, it also has some implications concerning your new owner that we wont go into here but just know that, IMHO, "PD" is a very endured and welcome name. All that said. Freebird and PD, I hope the two of you have a marvelous journey home to the land of pond monsters and Maintenance Days and patiently wait for the many ride stories and pictures the two of you will share in the great years ahead!!
The Tooch Posted April 29, 2016 #59 Posted April 29, 2016 Hey Puc PD it's the symbol on the Chemical Element Chart for...Palladium. (Geek stuff, I got 99% in grade 12 Chemistry. Don't ask what I got in English!)
cowpuc Posted April 29, 2016 #60 Posted April 29, 2016 Hey Puc PD it's the symbol on the Chemical Element Chart for...Palladium. (Geek stuff, I got 99% in grade 12 Chemistry. Don't ask what I got in English!) :scared:"Palladium",,,,, :scared:I like that even better than "PD" Tooch!!!!!!!! Only problem is I am not sure on the pronunciation of such a name so you might have to help with that in a short video or at MD or something... I think I got it and like the way it sounds - a real classy man's bike kind of a name = Pal - ah - dee - um but wont know for sure till you tell me cause I didnt pass chemistry or english
Freebird Posted April 29, 2016 Author #61 Posted April 29, 2016 About an hour from home. Bikes running great. I'm cold as all.....whatever. About 40 and misting rain on and off. Would already be home but I keep having to stop and cleans these stupid white walls.

cowpuc Posted April 30, 2016 #68 Posted April 30, 2016 Mowing grass without a shirt...... Your being naughty again DanL ... Speaking of being naughty and back to the subject at hand,, I cant help but wonder if the Boss is missing the heat off the rear jug from his Road Glide about now What would he do without us brother? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T5W-xJWuPE

cowpuc Posted April 30, 2016 #73 Posted April 30, 2016 Anybody heard from the Boss? Getting a little concerned here!
Freebird Posted April 30, 2016 Author #74 Posted April 30, 2016 Got home long ago. Was about frozen to death. Paul, (Motiv) here, called when I was almost home and asked if we wanted to go to dinner with he and his wife so...I got home about 5:30, took a hot shower and then they stopped by around 7:00 and we went to diner. NOT on the bikes. It was a nice evening but I was NOT getting on that bike again tonight. So....things are good. I'm tired. More tomorrow but everything went great.
Motiv Posted April 30, 2016 #75 Posted April 30, 2016 Seen the bike, very nice well appointed too. Sent from my SM-T900 using Tapatalk
