So, there I was this week with my parents. They are national board members for the American Voyagers Association, a motorcycle club that (although is 85-90% Kaw. Voyagers) allows all makes of bikes. Wife and I went there with them mainly because their national rally this year was only 2 hours from our home.
On the last day, they always hold a bike show. All people in attendance are allowed (no charge) to enter their bikes and all attendees are allowed to vote for their favorites.
Classes were: sport bike, trike/sidecar, cruiser, stock touring, and custom touring. After looking around and talking with my dad, at the last minute, I decided to enter my RSV. The only Venture entered. There were a few GWs and many Voyagers.
So I registered the bike, cleaned a few bugs off the windshield (rest of the bike was already clean) and headed to town to pick up my mother at the motel. We got back as most people had voted or were finishing up their votes.
To my great surprise, my 2007, Blue RSV won the stock touring class at a Voyager rally.
