I received a phone call the other day from a young lady. She was given my phone number by a mutual friend, who referred her to me because I own a Venture. She and her boyfriend just bought a 1988 Venture Royale about 3 weeks ago and while out riding it the clutch went out. She wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help them get it working again. Today I went over to their house and was shocked to find a showroom condition 1988 Royale. It was absolutely beautiful. It only had 9700 miles on it when they bought it, not a scratch on it, and it had all the chrome you could put on it. After drooling over it for about 20 minutes we finally got down to looking at the clutch, and it looked like it still had the original fluid in it, so I proceeded to flush out the old fluid with new and bleed it and had it back working in about 30 minutes. He said it was even smoother than before. I finally asked him how much he paid for it and was shocked when he told me $2500.00. I nearly fell over. It had brand new E3's on it and ran pretty good but I suggested he run some Seafoam through it and it would be much better. They wanted to pay me for doing it, but I told them I was just paying it forward for all the help I have had from certain members here who have helped me out and also told them about VR, so we should see them on here very soon and they will likely be coming to Vogel. I told him he would meet some great people there and could also get his carbs synced while there. His name is Jerry and he is a Federal Prison Correctional Officer, so he will fit in here nicely. Its also nice to have another Venture owner close by to ride with. So please make him welcome when he comes on board.
