Thom Posted January 13, 2008 #1 Posted January 13, 2008 Smoke has a new sister and it is all Ruff's fault !! he is the one that told me she was for sale , i thought i would use her for a parts bike but when i saw her it was love at 1st site , black 86 with 88000 miles on her , jrichard is down here and is helping get it running , changed the oil and oil filter drained the gas , rite now carbs are soaking in seafoam , hopefully tomorrow we can start it up than i got to put it back together , i have a lot of work to do , some of you old timers mite remember i got it from Ernie from Debary Fl. , he layed it down on i 95 two years ago and now rides a V star by the way , thanks Ruff
Squidley Posted January 13, 2008 #2 Posted January 13, 2008 Najorka was his screen name, I was looking into that bike a while ago. Good to see that it will ressurected
86er Posted January 13, 2008 #3 Posted January 13, 2008 Nice bike, Thom! Congratulations! Gonna be sweeeet when you get it back together. Of course you know that you now own the prettiest Venture ever. If you don't believe me ask Skid...he's a cop so he's not allowed to lie!
Redneck Posted January 13, 2008 #4 Posted January 13, 2008 I'm afraid I would have to consider kicking Ruffs but if he got me into that kind of a mess.
buddy Posted January 13, 2008 #5 Posted January 13, 2008 Thom Glad your getting the beast running it will give redneck something else to cry about. Looks like you'll be living in the shop for a while. Looks like you going to be keeping it for a while. if you decide to part it out let me know I have a wish list. Let us know how the beast turns out. buddy
