Today I'm picking up a new to me 86 Venture Royale. I've owned a Suzuki, 2 hondas and now my first Yamaha. I am excited about this purchase, mainly because my previous bikes were all garage finds that took literally hundreds of hours to revive and bring back to life. In this case, the previous owner did all the hard work for me. All I'll need to do is maintain this beautiful well preserved machine. I often ask myself, why do I get so excited about old things that have been restored? What is it in my soul that appreciates taking something that has been disguarded and forgotten and making it new again? To be restored without doing the hard work? That is a different concept for me. In the past I had to buy old bikes because I couldn't afford to buy a new one. That hasn't changed. But to buy one where the work has already been done!? Someone else paid the price of time money and energy and I get to benefit?! That truely is a concept that is near and dear to my heart!
