bendtdj Posted June 10, 2012 #1 Posted June 10, 2012 While at work today, I walked to our mailbox and just as I turned to go bac to the office, I hear a motocycle coming towards me. Well of course I looked up and I saw a very nice looking MK2 blonde go by and turn into the dealer next door. When I got done with work, 15 minutes later, I go to the dealer to get some YamaLube to change the oil in my "84. Well, the owner of the MK2 was still inside. He is the owner of one of the local construction companies. We had a nice chat inside and then went and looked at his bike. He told me he got it form a guy on ebay form Corsica, SD. It is a 1987 Royale and has many of the extra bells and whistles, including but not limited to, venturline trunk rack, venturline drivers backrest and what look to me to be some sort of original driving lights. Of course I told him about the VentureRiders.org and all the help that I have recieved from all the great folks here. He is looking for some fairing parts since someone in the past damaged the right rear corner and tried to fix it with bondo. Hope to see him here, and on the road, soon. Dave

etcswjoe Posted June 10, 2012 #5 Posted June 10, 2012 I must not be much of a salesman, I have stalked several riders and not one has joined. Followed on for 30 miles one day before they stopped and they had not even realized I was following them.

LOL Better luck on the next one.
BuckShot Posted June 10, 2012 #7 Posted June 10, 2012 Everyone that I have stalked, is already a member and just don't get on the site much or know about the site and just don't join.
bendtdj Posted June 10, 2012 Author #8 Posted June 10, 2012 I forgot to mention that the bike I saw had two "Venture Touring Society" stickers on the trunk. I couldn't saw how old they were and the nw owner did not know anything about them. Stay Safe Dave
