from Dubuque Iowa. Be sure to check the meet and greet thread. We are having one the last weekend of June in Maquoketa. Should be a great time.

Nice! I have had a few Triumphs and spent plenty of time at Sindts. I live in Davenport, my wife and I ride up around your neck of the woods quite a few times a year. I have a love hate relationship with Scenic Ridge Road from my sport bike days...

Was at Sindts today ordering my birthday present from the wife. Got her to atleast sit on a Venture. I think she liked it.

EDIT:
I should add I ordered a Luggage rack not a Venture.
