Howdy...
New to this forum. Old man to riding. Been riding motorcycles since 1962.
Names Steve...Located in mid-Michigan area. If it ain't snowing, freezing, hailing, sleeting, or orange coning...I'm riding. A little rain never hurt anything.

Welcome to the Forum! Do you ride a Yamaha Royal Star Venture like in your avatar? My borther in law has one just like it, nice bike!

Hey Sweet Tooth~
Yup, I ride a Royal Star Venture, 1999, only mine is Silver, that's the fastest color, but they didn't have that color in the avatar selection. I have been riding Ventures since 83, the first year they were built. This is my third one. If you've ever seen the speedo on the second generation Ventures, you'll know what I mean when I refer to it as my Oldsmobile Bike...

Sounds like you've been around the block. Hope you're up to giving some of us noobs a tip now and then. Look forward to hearing your viewpoints.
I'm planning on riding about like you do by the sounds of it. As long as I don't see the funnel clouds or white stuff, I'm there! (That's the plan anyway....
)

Hey Scoutmedic~
Always happy to share my knowledge with someone.
I see we share a lot of interest...I was an avid archer before I tore the rotor cuff in my left shoulder.
And I ride year 'round when Ma Nature allows.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
