lonestarmedic Posted September 14, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) Well, went over to SapperMedic's house this afternoon. Seems Mocha has a new ebony friend! A 1986 Venture Royale. Only has 18K miles and everything is intact w/out cracks. Has brand new Dunlop 404s on and had an E1 until I jiggled the wiring. (We'll get that and its buddy very soon) The pinstriping is tastefull and it has a nice set of grips. The intercom functions fairly well. Needs a wire or two chased. He got all the books including a service manual. A bag of spare gaskets and parts, and 2 DOT certified half helmets. The old girl needs SEA FOAM. She came from san Antonio over a year ago and hasn't been run even 200 miles since then. I figure 2 cans and some sporty running. Then fresh plugs, wires and a carbtune. So, look out world - got a bit of 1986 thunder coming out of S.A. And it has a VentureRider bell hung next to the clutch lever. Figured when it got full, a little flick at speed and out go the nasty little critters. JB Edited September 14, 2008 by lonestarmedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynodon Posted September 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 14, 2008 Looks just like mine! When I read Mocha, I thought of the '91 Mocha/Mocha SHO Taurus I have sitting in my garage with just 50,000 miles on it. I love brown cars, and actually wanted an all gold (mocha?) Venture when I found my Black Cherry and gold '86 last year. I love it. Enjoy the new bike, that is a nice pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted September 14, 2008 Share #6 Posted September 14, 2008 Good lookin' bike there, almost just like the '86 I sold Kbran. I'm sure he'll get many miles out of it if you have anything to say about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
