New (used) sled in the stable!

Just picked up a 99 Yamaha Venture 500 touring tonight. Loaded, elec start, reverse, backrest, bags, etc. Needs some minor work, but got it from someone deep in hawk and paid $1450, turn key. I'll post some pics soon.

It's mostly an "extra" sled. My youngest is 6 now, and he can't ride in front of us anymore (helmet in the way). If he's not around -- rocket sleds, if he is -- touring sled...

I'll see how it goes... If I don't like it, I'll flip it toward a Ski Doo GT.

I actually own more Yamis than Cats! Great sleds! Don't have to do much to them, but when you do they can be a real PITA!

I have 3 yami's and 1 Polaris. I prefer the Yami's over Polaris. I have never riden anything else except a very old Kawasaki intruder. Yami's I find are easy to work on. But then again I am easily pleased.
