Looking


Linda has not said no, nor yes either, but she is not stopping me either. This time I want a Cruiser bike like Sam's. It's a Yamaha Virago 1100cc. Cruisers are lower, feet forward, usually comfortable, lot's of chrome, high handlebars, smaller tanks, usually V-twins with 2 cylinders, lower in horsepower, but high in torque. This one is a little different, first it's NOT a Harley look- alike, it's lighter in weight about 450#'s, lots of stock chrome, shaft drive, little frame showing, handles better than my Suzuki 1100's, has a soft seat, has a Tachometer (many Cruisers do not), and has enough power for me. They get 50+ mpg.
The Virago will look like the one in the picture, except that is a Harley Davidson 883 Sportster. That is Cle, one of my friends that I ride with on Thursdays. He is 62. Great guy!

Sorry about your Midwest weather been cold here too in the low 20's at night and mid-40's during the day, But it's suppose to get back to normal in the high 50's. As you wish winter was over.

The tooth I had pulled last Wed. still hurts today, Sunday. It took the dentist over an hour getting it pulled out, the gum is got a big hole it it too. Got to go back to have the stitches taken out and 3 cavities filled.

I SAID, "Stop looking at bikes you really don't want and only look for a Virago." I think that is a "buy one if you want = yes".
