I sold it to a friend after my kids where born. then he had two boys and I told him he might as well sell it and he did. I seen it once after that and they wasn't taking good care of it. That friend and I both baught Ventures again when the kids got old enough to ride.

That mag was for Yamaha Venture owners before there was internet, It would be for a group of like minded riders just like this forum. I might have all the issues.

My neighbor has an old Venture. I don't seem him ride to much, but he brought it out a couple of weeks ago to stretch it's legs (or wheels). It's in pretty good shape still.

Cool article!!! One of my riding buddies here in Loveland is also a "long time" Venture rider ("ST-venture" on this forum). Although I never owned one, the Venture was always a very impressive bike, IMHO.

Been to many of those same places. Great motorcycle riding. The Venture Royale was a great bike and spawned great bikes like the V-Max and Royal Star. Quite a following still online. Never knew Ventures had their own magazine. Thanks for sharing.
