I was saving for the new Venture TC or the new Goldwing after I saw them at the Toronto bike show back in 2018. I thought I’d treat myself to a new bike after owning my 84VR since new. I finally realized, I can’t afford a 30k motorcycle. With the money I saved I bought a 99 Honda Valkyrie. My wife was on board and prefers the Valkyrie when travelling. They’re just more leg room and luggage space although it’s a heavy bike when all loaded up. It gets lots of compliments when it’s all shined up. Most people don’t realize that the 84VR is more comfortable to ride with the air suspension and more nimble. It’s nice to have multiple bikes but as Saddlebum pointed out, there’s no break on insurance when riding multiple bikes. Adding the Valkyrie to my stable made me realize….I had the perfect bike for me. It makes me appreciate the Venture even more. Now, I also bought an 86 VR a few years ago. It was in mint condition and I couldn’t say no to the price offered….. that one appeared in the driveway one day to my wife’s surprise. That one I had to ask forgiveness…. she doesn’t like to ride that bike for some strange reason…🤔 It was more of an impulse buy. Mark

Thank you very much!!

Weekend of Oct. 6 looks good for me right now. Unfortunately, my schedule is never set in stone and can change daily.

⬆️ This!! I hop on the bike to get rid of human noise, other than the bike, and the breeze… 🤔😜

Like Woody said....better to ask forgiveness than permission. I'm up to 6. Most of them will need the carbs gone over from sitting. One is a resto project. Looking forward to having time to work on this stuff when I retire.

Remove the Seat Remove the gas tank Remove the spark plug wires. Blow out the space around the plugs to avoid any debris getting into plug holes. Use a 18mm deep well spark plug socket and extension, remove the old plugs. Inspect the old plugs for any signs of improper wear. Gap and Install new plugs, tighten plugs to 13 ft-lb. Push plug wires on firmly. You should feel a snap when they are on all the way. GAP: 0.8-0.9 mm (0.031-0.035 in) Re-install the upper engine supports (46.1 ft-lb), gas tank (11.5 ft-lb rear bolt, 62 in.-lb front bolts) and driver's seat (62 in.-lb).

I wish they operated in NC. At one point, I was insuring 3 bikes and two vehicles and in NC they price it like you can drive/ride all 5 at the same time. We need to be talking to our legislatures.

I have a few bikes. I am in Texas and my insurer is Markel. They have just started Voom insurance a pay as you go per mile for each bike for insurance with base line Comp insurance. VOOM Insurance Link (Click Here)

Here in Ontario unless you got the cash a second bike is out of the question because insurance company's still charge full pop for each bike even thoughyou can only ride one at a time. The excuse is you might let someone else ride the bike even if it's only once in a blue moon.

Forgiveness is easier than permission, look dear what followed me home
