    Heck, I'm in the Sacramento Valley here in NorCal., and I'm jealous. We've been socked in with fog and low temps for about 4 days now. Dark, dank...and miserable... Is there really a sun up there???:Sad_0241:

    I really don't know what all the flap is about I.E. being so evil. I'm running XP Media and as far as I'm concerned it works just fine. Issues are few and far between.

    Maybe Elvis sat on it?? I've logged a couple of bikes that have sold for big bucks. Generally they're late MKII's with very low milage, and in mint condition. There's also been a few 83's that have sold up in the 3's in that same condition. So ya never know. What I can't understand is when a seller puts a reserve so high that even when it get's some nice bids, it doesn't have a chance of selling. Maybe they just like keeping Ebay in business with listing fees.

    Nope, I just like to keep track of what a real Venture's value is...just in case I want to buy another one for the herd. So far it's been 7, but one got away...

    Welcome to the board Rich. We get togther here in Norcal a couple of times a year, and you're welcome to join in if you'd like. We're thinking about doing a ride down in the San Juaquin late next spring. We're also having a Venture Roundup in Cody Wy. next Sept.2009. We try to keep a address book with all the NorCal riders email addresses for up coming anouncements. If you'll forward me your's we'll add you on. Jack

    One of these days when I don't have anything better to do... maybe right after the first of the year..., I should sort each model year built and then year sold, in order to get a better picture of the average 1stGen selling price. Lately I've stopped recording the $400-$500'parts' bikes. Yep, Mike if you bought yours in late 2006 I probably have it listed.

    Kinda interesting. I've been tracking all 1stGen sales on Ebay for the last 3 years... yeah I know I've got a lot of time on my hands.... Sales of 1st gen's for the month of Novenber 2006 was 15 bikes and the adverage $ was $1822.00 per bike. For Nov 2007, 14 bikes sold and the average selling price was$1519.00. This year only 4 bikes ended up going to new owners, and the average was $1706.00. What does this mean?? I don't know, but I've noticed several bikes never making reserve. The ones that sold were listed with a lower first bid, and no reserve. When they did sell they did fairly average compared to 2006 and 2007.

    I think it has something to do with the way it's listed. Here's another listing that just ended from a ticked off seller. VENTURE

    I wish Yamaha had figured out a better way to keep those vents in the dash. On my first bike, the '83VR, one disappeared riding it home from the previous owners house. Bought another off Ebay for $25 bucks... from Pinwall I believe?? The problem is the dang tabs break off. I've started putting a dab of glue in each of the corners. Now they don't go anywhere, and are still fairly easy to remove if the louvers break.

    I agree Bill. I never put my 2 cents in when things start to go sour. The problem is the board has turned into a 'Family' board, not just a MC board. And when events happen that effect us all, there's going to be discussion on the subject. Eventually opinions...everybody has one.... are going to be expressed, and 'Thar' She Goes'!!!.... I just bite my lip, and read the tech forums....

    Try sitting on a 1stGen with floorboards and tell me all about your 1400 mile day... On a 2ndGen you either you have your knees in your chest, or you've got really short legs........... That said, if anyone is interested in a nice set of VentureLine floorboards with heel'n'toe give me a shout. I was planing on listing them on Ebay next spring.

    Ain't that tall, but I still have a set of highways as far forward as I can get them in front of the guards... and I have been known to rest the back of my calf on the pegs to stretch out while slabbin' it....
