Well, I really don't want to, but I am considering selling my '81 H model. It's not running right now, this thread explains what's up with it, http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread...threadid=11184 . It was running really strong before this issue popped up. I don't thing it's anything serious, I just don't know what the issue is, It's just sitting in my garage now. With a full time job that somewhat pays the bills, a part-time (in reality almost full time) job as volunteer youth minister at our church, playing bass in the praise team at church, and other demands on my time, I just don't have the time nor the financial resources to work on it. It's really in pretty good shape. There's a thread here http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread...threadid=10300 that tells of some issues I had with the gas tank. Sorry, I can't seem to find those pics now. The holes that were in the tank have been sealed, but you should be aware of the issue. Here are a few pics of the bike from last year http://rmathews.wcjc.edu/My-Bike . Anyway, anyone want to make an offer? I would really like maybe to get a little cash to purchase something a little more recent. I'd love to get a new RoadStart 1300 tourer or my fantasy bike FJR 1300, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I'm really not sure if I want to get rid of my H model, but I hate seeing it in the garage just sitting there.

Robby,
If you need help getting your bike running I'll help you I'm about 60-70 miles south of you in Victoria. I get it back into and we can work something out later. The only problem for the next few months is I'm on 60 hours weeks at work. Let me know.Do'Lee

Would a matching year/model tank with no rust convince you to keep the ole' Venturer?................Last edited by motoman; 06-29-2007, 11:20 PM.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

Motoman - the rust free tank may cause me to reconsider selling the bike. The real issue though, is that I just really don't have any time to work on the bike. Five days a week, I come home from my day job and then leave within the hour to either do somenthing with the youth ministry or the praise team at our church. Sunday is taken up with church, so that only leaves Saturday to take care of things around the house and spend some time with my wife, kids, and grandson.
Anyone seeing this post for the next week, I will be away at youth camp with our youth group. So I will reply or whatever when I return.
