Scott Thornton of Iron Butt Fame??? This motorcycle is going to a worthy rider...no remorse over not getting it...The Venturer would make an awesome Iron Butt platform...well done sir...
Ben and Phil - this is a very nice bike kept up by someone who can really turn a wrench. Totally worth going for it. AND quite the speedster -I have witnessed it going from 0-62 in about 200 yards "verified" by Texas DPS.
Sorry Rich I think its been long enough to laugh about it I hope.
John
Yup, I can testify to that. I was right behind him and saw the lights come on the DPS car.

Was great to meet you as well. Looking forward getting plates on it and running up some miles. Not going to abuse it in the ibr though, have a few plain jane 78's for that. This one is way too nice for that.
For those in the area I got a few boxes of parts with this to add to my collection, so if you need anything give me a shout. Prices usually start at 1 cold one and top out at about 6. Only requirement is that you need it for an active project.

Hi Scott,
Nice find. Thanks for preserving a fine example of the Venturer.
