Ok heres the skinny....The bike is in Kansas City area...its been advertised for a while...1 of a collection of 6 all supposedely worked on/maintained by Bob Jones of Merriam Cycles. I dont have the seller's address yet and i am awaiting him to respond to an earlier email about more detailed pics and proof of title...ONCE I get some real contact info...I'll ask if anyone in the KC area could give it a lookover. Its not that i dont trust anyone here...it just did not occur to me to ask. The '81 venturer is a rare bird indeed...thus if this ad and bike are legit...then i'll want first dibs...

I've seen that listing a few times, the guys pretty proud of his bikes for the price he was asking for a month or two ago....

You know what they say.. If it feels good, do it!!

8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.
9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong;

Not to get too far off topic, but I didn't know you were a Mormon?????

If it is one of those 6 then it seems alot more likely to be ready for the ride. If it is still going for the prices he had listed, which is entirely up to you if it is worth it or not, then it dang well BETTER be ready for the trip!! I'd tell him for that price he needs to pay any repairs needed if something does go wrong.

There's several guys in the KC area. Maybe one of them will chime in.

Yeah Phil for a while so did I... But its just too much of a pain to get the logistics straightened out...plus I could really use the money for other things...So I will be on the ST1100 for XSEast.
