Moving to the DARK SIDE

[mrich12000]

Well as I told Rocket,

 

I was in need of a new gasket for the 83 Venture.

While I was at the Yamaha dealer Pro-Am Motor-Sports here in Calgary, I received the part and I was on my way out. Something caught my eye(monthly payments 238.00:doh:) there in the pile of new bike there she was, Blue and silver accents hard bags big wind screen big v twin a 1300XVS13CTYL BLUE

I asked Kerry the owner ( nice people here) the story about the bike he said this is a demo but he has one in the box, mind you this is an 09 model. So I saw the sticker on her and it had been discounted 3 times so I thought this would be a great time to Camel trade on the price. the original Canadian price wes @ 13,000.00 it was discounted to 10,899.00

well he gave me a deal I couldn't refuse it was out the door not including lic,& Ins. 11790.25

Nice..(pending finance with 5,000.00 down) Well today I'm ok with the finance. Get her Friday.

WhoWho!! So I'm the new Owner of the big v twin. I'm keeping the Venture and will remain a stout participate on the best bike forum next to the BMW of America's forum so Holy cow I bought a new bike. Now any break in or radio accessories ideas would be nice,

Rocket, we got to meet after lockdown. Timmie's in Redriver or call..

 

Thanks to all Mike R. in Calgary..pics next week:photographing:

Congratulations on the new ride.

I kept waiting to read about a car tire you found or something like that. but noooooo.

you had to get a new ride. and a deal upon that.

enjoy the ride.

you will get many answers on what is the best breakin method. since it is a demonstrator, that may mostly be done. and done in the way several folks here would say.

how many miles does it have on it currently?
