Well after 5 months of looking and a few deals that fell through I finally picked up my new bike today!!!!!!! 1986 Yamaha Venture Royale. And before anyone rips me for being 18 and buying this "old mans" bike just remember 1300cc V4 (think de-tuned V-MAX) at 97HP that will do 135MPH in 4TH gear & lift the front tire of this 800lb bike ;D (just because I can doesn't mean i will, prob never past 80 or so). Anyways settled on $2050 (the Kuryakyn I bought when I picked it up today for an extra $50) 33k miles, overall good shape, needs some work before spring (thread to come soon). Its got the bells and whistles, radio, CB, onboard air suspension, cruise control, etc

Got caught in the snow on the way back for the last hour of the drive so she got VERY dirty so excuse that in the pictures :whistling: But I got her in the garage and got as much of the snow off.

Now for some pictures
Getting the bike loaded on the trailer:

That bike did spawn the V-max.

Sadly, I missed out on a few 80s V-Max bikes in November for under $2000. All running, too. But I did finally get my 83 Magna V45 fully running and stopping. If the dealer is open today, I'm ordering new tires for her, then I can get tags and run wild. And it frees up room in the shed to futz with the Scrambler I got a few weeks ago.

Forgot my latest purchase... re-purchasing the ceramic coating (and getting a dent repaired) in one header and the muffler after a knob in a ute decided not to look before changing lanes...
