    Pardon my ignorance, but I have pictures on the forum of my Venture Royale not that it matters but I'm wondering. I have the bike up for sale cause it is too big for me (short at one end). The highest offer iv'e got for this bike so far is $1800.00 I'm in Alberta. Is there something wrong with me cause I feel I will burn it and watch the flames and savor the heat before I let it go for that. The bike is perfect. Am I being unrealistic about price are these bikes worth nothing? She's an 85 but I have seen smaller bikes go for a lot more. Can someone clue me in please, I'm really not an advanced bike guy Thanks,good on ya and Cheers

    Hi you wanted pictures, here she is. This bike is way too big for me, gotta get something a wee bit smaller. Especially between the crotch and the ground:D Sure hope I'm not in poop for posting them here:8:

    WoW! Some great people here and a lot of experienced information. To begin with, 1985 is correct the 95 was a typo,(or wishfull thinking?) not sure. This bike is very minty and I realy like it. I am going to take the advice given here to heart. I will get ser.# and I will post pictures as soon as I get used to the forum. Used to be a pretty good biker as far as handling one goes. Had some close calls and they were all my fault (nothing serious) but tought me to bring extra shorts, as well as "DON'T DO THAT AGAIN":big-grin-emoticon: Sitting on the bike today, I noticed I can flat foot it with the bike on a very small degree of lean. If I move forward an inch, I can put both flat feet on the grownd. This might not be a good thing though? Not sure if I can get out and enjoy whats left of the weather with the bike this year:crying: Got a lot of learning,passing exams(bike licence)to do. Thank you all again for your concideration and valuable info(keep it comming:happy65:) Cheers to all, Emery

    Thanks Margaret; Safety course of course (pun intended) Good idea! When I biked last you didn't need a M/C licence, so I need to start over. It's inevitable, once I get her going I'm gonna have to stop somewhere (I think). Right now thats the scarry part cause I'm a little short at one end. Cheers!

    Hey Peoples, Looks like a great site. I'm Emery from Alberta. The last time I was biking was back in the 80's and the biggest bike I owned was a Honda 750/4 (pardon the language) I am 67 and wiegh about as much as a rear tire:big-grin-emoticon: Now I have the bug to go riding again but there may be some problems. I just bought a 1985 Venture royale 1200. I like it! but it is big and scarry I think? (Its in my garage waiting for me.) I fit this bike but if I lay it down they may have to burry me with it. Am I biting off more than I can chew?? Wanna go riding long distance with freinds:dancefool: Any good advice will be appreciated. Thanks and have a great day, to all those who don't mind me telling them what kind of day to have:thumbsup2:
