Well I’m new to the venture club. Although I’m not new to riding, I have a vt1100 shadow that I ride regularly. I’ve been looking for a touring bike for longer distances. I had a customer came into my store and told me that he was looking for some one to undress a 1985 Yamaha venture royale and he would be willing to give another one to whomever helped so here I am and I’m sure I’ll be loaded with questions
