juggler Posted August 29, 2008 #7 Posted August 29, 2008 I may finally have a reason to setup a Wiki account. We should get that page loaded with pictures of the various years and links to our history page or duplicate the history page on Wiki.
Bummer Posted August 29, 2008 #9 Posted August 29, 2008 The Yamaha Venture page was started by a couple of guys from Venturers. There was also a Yamaha Venture Royale page, but the two pages were merged into the one that's there now. I don't know who did the Yamaha Royal Star Venture page. I got an account to do the same thing but was a day late, so to speak. I added the Yamaha Venture and Yamaha Venture Royale listings, linking to those pages, to the disambiguation page - kind of like an index. We can put anything we want on there, bearing in mind it can be edited by others. The problem is that we need to find some sort of actual paper to document this. Anyone know where there are write ups? Magazines articles? Books? Online will not do. All photos must be in the public domain. Anything copyrighted will be removed.
Freebird Posted August 29, 2008 #10 Posted August 29, 2008 No, it was built by me originally. It's been back and forth a few times with them editing it and then me changing it back. If you click the "history" tab from that page, you will see that I originally created it in August of '07.
Bummer Posted August 29, 2008 #11 Posted August 29, 2008 Sorry, I must have read the history of the discussion page. I don't remember a date but a couple of Venturers were discussing doing it so I dropped the idea for a time. I'm wondering if their page is the one that was merged with your page. Theirs should have been prior to '07 since I haven't been a regular there since late '05/very early '06. I'm just glad someone started it. By the way, I've done a bit of editing and added a picture. Now if I can just find a picture of a first gen...
Ozark Posted August 29, 2008 #13 Posted August 29, 2008 Kind of neat isn't it. Funny though, they called us a riding club, and we all know we just ride so we can get something to eat, ain't that so Squidley??
