New Bike

That's my good friend, Cle, in the picture, who just past away last weekend. I miss him, he had a great attitude. On his Harley Sportster, is real loud.

Went to PHX over the weekend. Met Carolyn and Bill. We went out to eat , ate way too much!. Spent way too much, partied too much, but what the hay, we can't take it with us. Had a great time.


Drove slow, because Benny said his truck only got 17 mpg. But we got 21, hurray. Took and extra 1.5 hours getting there/here each way. Still spent $250 on gas.


The new bike is a 1984 Yamaha Venture, but it's very clean, paint is nearly perfect, has only 14500 miles and it's 24 years old! It's a touring bike. I think it's already sold. Carbs are gummed up, tank is rusty , needs fork seals, battery and the water pump leaks. Gas gauge also doesn't work. I'm sure more needs working on.
