First of all, thanks for some of the great advice I got here... I'm feeling extremely fortunate to have found a beautiful 2001 Yamaha Venture Royal Star bike with a 2015 Champion sidecar! The bike has 23k miles. Picked her up yesterday (Saturday). It was located only 30 minutes from my house (unexpected benefit) and the couple that sold it to me were fantastic to deal with. I wasn't originally looking for anything this fancy, but I really fell in love with it at first sight. I can envision taking longer trips in relative comfort, compared to smaller rigs I looked at. Weather was warm enough for a quick sponge bath. I drained the old fuel and filled up with Mogas for the winter, as she's been sitting for awhile. Needed a new battery, ran her for awhile and once warmed up she smoothed out real good. I did take for a short test drive before I bought her, and she handles real good so far. I'll change fluids as soon as I have a chance.
