The Originals are now 40 years old. Who's still rideing them ?

The original models, '83-85 s  are now 40+ years old.  How many guys are still hitting the asphalt with these antiques ?

We can still get batteries, tires and there are plenty of spare parts on e-bay.  Well, except for rear master cylinders. They are cheap enough you can buy a whole bike for parts anyway, if you look around.  Downside, you have to be able to do your own maintenance.   I enjoy my '83 and get to enter it in antique Auto Shows !  Awesome !

How 'bout you ?  I know there are a few of us here, How about a roll call ?

Mine's still sitting in a temp / humidity controlled shed.   It'll need gone over, but I'll take care of that when I retire.

Still got my 86 (39 y/o) setting in the shop. Keep thinking I’ll get it out and clean the carbs but can’t seem to find the time. Parked it when I bought my 07.

I don't still have it but my very first Venture was that gold '83.....great bike, got lots of compliments when I rode it. It's what started my on my Venture lifestyle....now I'm on my 4th.

I sold my '83 about 3 years ago. Sold the '86 last year. Now I'm down to the '06. The new house had no room for 3.
