Well the back tire (Metzler) on our Venture peeled and
the new tire did not come in so our trip to the Rock Store was taken on the '98
Virago 1100. I repaired the saddle bags and made a new backrest, shaved some
foam off the passenger seat and stiffend up the rear springs. Now I normaly ride
the Virago solo on local trips. Rose wanted to upgrade to a bigger bike and
that is how we got the Venture and she has not been on the Virago much since.
The ride to the Rock Store is about 200 mi one way. Boy does Rose miss the
Venture!!! Even with the changes to make her more comfey she is really sore. The
Venture has us sooo spoiled us I doubt she will go on any more trips if the
Venture is not going. While I still love my Virago it is no good for trips 2 up
and we miss the comfort of the Venture.
