cowpuc Posted June 29, 2014 Share #28 Posted June 29, 2014 Dang the purty blue one is a 09/83. Still looking. I LOVE the hunt for em almost as much as owning em.. it makes finding just the right one that much sweeter whenya finally do find it coff.. I could spend a whole summer running from state to state, sleeping in a tent, living off wendies chili and lemon water searching for just the right bikefor you.. think of allllll the great folks out there one would get to meet and writing material to be gained..

CMCOFFEY Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share #29 Posted June 29, 2014 I am looking all over the country, so I will probably find it far north or Far East. Then it will take a plane trip and a lot of tent camping to get the bike home. That is something stories are made of. Sight unseen buying a bike flying to get it, and trusting it for the 1500+ trek back home. I think I may be crazy or stupid, or a good fun mixture of both.

CMCOFFEY Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share #30 Posted July 2, 2014 http://youngstown.craigslist.org/mcy/4550123411.html hopefully this will be a Feb bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAWildKat Posted July 2, 2014 Share #31 Posted July 2, 2014 By that logic...I need a 1974....something and Mike needs a 1979 something......though someday I really want a Buick wildcat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMCOFFEY Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share #32 Posted July 2, 2014 if it is a feb bike, it is a 33 hour ride home... lots of time for camping and seeing people along the way. 2,146 miles would be about 4 days if I want to take it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least ya'll can get corvettes from the year you were born and not have the worst corvette ever made. 1984 was the one and only year for the cross fire fuel injection.

CMCOFFEY Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share #34 Posted July 8, 2014 http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/4544720295.html hoping this one works out. Then I can make some money back by selling that two wheeled contraption on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted July 8, 2014 Share #35 Posted July 8, 2014 http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/4544720295.html hoping this one works out. Then I can make some money back by selling that two wheeled contraption on the back. THAT IS GORGEOUS COFF! Kinda pricey BUT, if it happens to fall into your birthday month THAT would be a keeper! From the pics it looks as though it really does only have 20k on it and been stored properly... makes me shake my head when I see a gorgeous bike like that and know of its suffering by not being ridden though,, I can just hear it whimpering... if anyone could rescue it, it would be you. Just like you did with Exodus! Hope it works out! Puc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted July 19, 2014 Share #41 Posted July 19, 2014 I am looking for a Venture built in February of 1984. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for a good deal on a February 1984 Venture. I would like it to be somewhat close to Las Vegas NV, but for a good enough deal, I will work something out. Found one! Orion Silver (blue) Standard, born on date 2/84, with 37K miles in Gilbert, Arizona. And it is only 314 miles away from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted July 19, 2014 Share #45 Posted July 19, 2014 he just got back to me. he said he thinks it is already sold, he is just waiting on the funds transfer. I hope someone is trying to scam him and he does not fall for it. then I can go get it. Since the bike is still up on EBAY, put a bid in on it NOW. Before he closes it down. He will be obligated to adhere to the eBay buyer's contract. Hurry! http://www.ebay.com/itm/161370071988?forcerRptr=true&item=161370071988&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMCOFFEY Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share #46 Posted July 28, 2014 The search is over. Bendtdj is selling me his Feb 84 bike. Now I just have to wait until the 27th of Aug to fly out and get it. I wanted to wait that late so that I could buy it, slap some new rubber on it and head up to Grandpagak's place in Minnesota for the pig roast. Day 2 of owning that thing is going to be at an event; then after that it will be 1,700 miles home. I think she and I are starting off on the right foot.

bendtdj Posted July 28, 2014 Share #48 Posted July 28, 2014 I hope you like the bike. It has been extremely dependable for me. I was able to get the 1985 in Sioux Center, IA that has a Voyager trike kit on it. Rode it for 120 miles home and so far so good. I will start a new thread when I get some photos taken See ya on the 27th. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerjohn Posted July 29, 2014 Share #49 Posted July 29, 2014 Coffee congrats on fining the 84 you were looking for! I am selling my trailer, just bought a pop up and am looking at selling it. I will post it on classifieds tomorrow. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
