I was just looking...Really

[tcoop]

I was just looking, really. While looking through the for sale adds, I came across this nice looking bike a Black 83 Yamaha Venture but they were asking waaay to much for it $3000 but the last line of the add said "Willing to trade for a working car for equal value." I just happend to have a car that I was trying to sell a 98 Oldsmobile Aurora that my wife and I do not like. (We only paid $400 for the Aurora) So we go look at the bike and found it to be a good bike but more in the $1800 range. So after taking test rides and drives we agreed to swap vehicles. So I got a nice cruising bike for long rides and to ride while I rebuild the two that I have in pieces. I got some pictures but the bike is black and its dark out so you cant see it very well.







I do need to replace the tires and take of the lower light bar (scraped it 3 times on the ride home in the turns).
But overall I got a decent bile for $400.

It only has 16000 miles on the clock...the guy didn't ride it much because of nerve damage in his legs (something about not being able to use is right leg and being able to stop ) although the speedometer was not working so I don't know of the actual miles on it.

Hi Ty,
it's always good to swap a car that you don't like for a bike that you do.
Me, I'd have most likely screwed myself out of a bargain by opening my big mouth and telling that poor crippled-up guy to hang a sidecar on it, move the brake pedal to someplace he could operate it and keep riding.
