i got an offer on it today. of $550.00 i didnt even tell him about the $1500 in work done to the brakes and the total exhaust? i did not say yes. i let the man look it over i placed the battery back in it and 3 cranks with the choke on she fired right up:cool10: i let it sit and warm up some with the choke on. then i took the choke off and she started that popping that mike noticed a while back. like one cyl. is missing? the man didnt say nothing about it because as soon as i reved it up it would go away? im thinking new plugs,cap or wires? if i sell it this is not my problem. he then wanted to take it for a spin? i said it would be okay with me. but he must put it back where it was after the ride. it,s behind my building. mike EUSA1 had to do a little hill climb and backed it down to where its at. the man said he does not have enough experience to go up that little hill and then back it down and place it back on the center stand? and with my knees i can not do it myself. he left and did not call back. oh well!! i will wait till may or june. and maybe ask mike if he would come down again and help me get it out and by the side of my apartment for me.

i got by with this one once. i went into burger king and orderd a combo meal the girl behind the counter said what size drink would you like with that? i said what is the largest pop can i get with this combo? she said why large of course. i said ok give me the large. she then charged me more for the combo. i looked at her trainer. this was her first day on the job i think? and i said she clearly said i could have a large pop with this combo. he refunded the small amount. after all the ice in it im sure i got a medium any ways LOL but i won my case LOL

sad: to say i might have to sell the 1984 royal. im still fighting a workers comp case. and i still owe$2500 on the car. to have it paid in full. i know the bike wont bring in that much? it does run but like allways it needs some TLC. i have put $$ into it. and im sure a good paint job and some tunning will bring this bike back to its glory days. when the weather gets better. i will go out and uncover it and snap some pics. i know pics can make it look nice. and seeing as ones on this site have not rode it? they still might give a good offer for it? EUSA1 mike did a small run on it when he was kind enough to help me get it to my place and out of storage. he might be able to give a fair opion on the bike should he be so inclined to do so? if i should settle my workers comp cliam this summer i would be in the market for another one. now i want people to understand i am not asking in any way for help again to save the bike and keep the car? you all work hard for your money. yes i would like to keep it. but i need my car. thats an all around transportaion. as the bike is not. like i said when i get time to take pictures i shall post them. thank you all sincerly james aka oldgoat.

heck you dont have to go away. just because you want to try out a differnt bike. we even have a nice man on here that due to health reasons drives a nice little sports car and wanted to put venture emblems on his car. you can do this with your new bike we all know its not a venture but your heart is still there. and heck i show up at MD in a pontiac cage and i still shared drinks and good times with a bucnh of these wonderfull pepole. we care about the ridder not the bike they drive. or if they drive with the top down in a sports car. hang around

my niece has a honda xl75 we bought her. not sure if its the same or even close to yours? but before we bought it we checked the compression. and at 2 kicks it was 110? now i could be wrong and i have been before but i think 90lbs is kind of knocking on heavens door? hers is cold bloodied? when its 30 out side? but after about 2 minutes it warms up for her? but the PO claims he did a top end on it? never found the records for that?. but it does run good for her.
