Guys this is a really nice bike with a trailer that is road ready to go anywhere. I would really love to see one of you guys get it. I will list it locally if no one wants it.

I am about 5'9" and weight about 280. I have a 30" inseam about your size I guess. The seat hight on the BMW is a little higher than the Venture but I can still get both balls of my feet on the ground. When the wife is on I can get both feet flat on the ground. The BMW seems a little more top heavy to me but the ride and handling makes up for it. I expecially like the reverse. That was a problem with the Venture. It has heated seats and hand grips which are nice in colder weather. I will try to take some pictures this weekend and put on here.

This is the best riding bike I have ever been on. I love my Venture and will always have respect for them because they have hauled me for many miles, but this BMW has really impressed me. More power and a constant 50 mpg at 70 mph. It is also fuel injected which is nice on a cold crank.

Don't have pictures yet but will try to put some on here by the end of the week. I am away from home right now working. I bought a 99 BMW K1200LT with 15000 miles on it.

Okay guys I bought another bike and don't need both so I am selling my 1986 Venture. Alot of you guys saw it at the International Meet in Harrison last summer. I want to give you guys a shot before I put it in the paper. I will sell the bike along with the custom built trailer for $3000.00. It has 60,000 miles and I wouldn't be afraid to go anywhere on it. I rode it to Charolette, NC last summer. This is a really nice bike.

I thinks that is a CYA thing for Harbor Freight. I pull my trailer at 80 mph all the time with 8 inch wheels. I installed some greaseable bearing cups so I can shoot some grease in every once in a while.

Anyone from Arkansas going to Don's Maint. Day?
ctraylor replied to ctraylor's topic in Watering Hole
Will probably go up the interstate though Rolla and then St. Louise and on -
that would be my guess since you have the O2 codes. I would look at the CAT being stopped up. Sounds just like a plugged up exhaust.

Me and my biker chicks..... http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs023.snc3/11040_1054231411863_1708165472_108490_1636361_n.jpg

Trailer frame is 16X35" and overall is 6'. I haven't weighed the tongue but will estimate about 40lbs loaded. I load the heavy stuff to the back. I have never bottomed out and we ride two up most of the time when pulling the trailer. Usually 2 suitcases and an ice chest. One time I had stuff tied all over it by the time we got home. My hitch is welded to the rack under the trunk. I cut a small hole in the trunk just large enough to drop in the pin.

I have straight pipes on mine and sounds like a v-8. I did weld in Harley baffles on the ends of the pipes so my wife would ride with me. -
