Just bought a 84 venture at the end of last year. I've been checking out the site here and getting as much tech info as i can. Seems to me that the bike i got has been taken care of and updated well. I to would enjoy a ride with fellow venture riders. I'm from east ohio near Steubenville, 1/2 hr from Wheeling Wv, 45 mins from Pittsburgh Pa. I'll keep my eyes open for rides nearby.
