Shorty Posted October 1, 2013 Share #26 Posted October 1, 2013 NICE LOOKING BIKE I checked with Richard on Sunday and he decided to give his VR to his son. The last bike (XS11)his son got, I later bought. Don't think that will happen again though; I've got to wear out my 88 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syscrusher Posted October 1, 2013 Share #27 Posted October 1, 2013 You guys/vultures wanna wait until I get her home and evaluate the bling up front and personal before you start parting her out? Sheesh! I haven't even seen it, let alone ridden it yet! I could go over there and test ride it for you. It's about 50 miles from here but I never even knew it was for sale.

Prairiehammer Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share #28 Posted October 1, 2013 I could go over there and test ride it for you. It's about 50 miles from here but I never even knew it was for sale. I had had a heads-up on the bike three weeks ago, when the guy who owned it posted that he had traded it. But, as I was trying to figure out if I could or wanted to trek 350 miles to see the bike, the dealer put it on eBay. The deal is done. My brother, who lives in Grimes is picking it up tomorrow and riding it back to his place. I'll get it from him (my brother) later this week. I indeed bought it without a test ride, but I had been talking with the guy who traded it in on a Triumph. He has/had several First Gens and told me all about this bike that he had owned for a year. He, in turn, had bought it from another long time Venture owner (again, someone I am acquainted with), so between the two of them I had enough confidence to buy it sight unseen. Thanks for the offer to "test ride" it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
