well, not really, but my mom joined this firefighter motorcycle club, and she finally got around to buying a motorcycle. She hasnt rode a bike in 20+ years, so ive been helping her out a lot with it. So basically it means that i get to take it wheneve i want. Its an 87 Virago 750, but its in fantastic shape. Previous owner took great care of it, took of all the stickers, and put a badass exhaust on it. If it wasnt for the Yamaha logo on the engine, I really never would have known it wasnt a Harley. Its no crotch rocket, but its got some get-up and go… Should be a lot of fun to cruise around on this summer. Pics to come. ---
