If any other rider would have been that close to my place I would some words for him,,, except @sleepy2of course. You I can forgive,, at least for now!

If you can do the work yourself and want to do the work, keep it and ride it. If not, sell it. Like Freebird said, the bike won't sell for what you will have invested in it fixing it up. But, if you want to ride it, they are great sport touring bikes. The bike can be ridden without second gear as our dear friend Cowpuc did for hundreds of thousands of miles on several 83s and 84s.

Thank you Earl. I will keep that offer in mind once I figure out if the anti-dive is working or not. In the meantime I went for a ride last night and rode in to work again today. Didn't bottom out once. So maybe I'm just a little too paranoid. It's a new bike to me and I tend to be hypervigilant with little sounds and stuff. My '84 Goldwing, which I still have by the way if anyone is interested in it, never had an issue with the suspension. This is one area where I'm noticing that the Goldwing might have a bit of an advantage over the Venture. But that's all forgotten the moment I twist the throttle! I love the way the Venture V4 revs so eagerly. The flat 4 doesn't come close to it in terms of pulling power and get up and go!

Haven't seen you for soo long I had to get a lick in there,,, it's the best I could come up with on short notice.

@skydoc_17 ( but I'll talk to just about anybody! ) just about took you off my friend list. (I still Love you guys! ) but this last comment earned you some brownie points
